TU Shootout!
I took my two oldest boys to their first college football game tonite. Believe it or not it was only my second college football game. The first was when I was a junior in High School, I saw OU destroy Mizzou 77-0. That is when OU had Jamelle Holloway and Brian Bozworth.
Well tonite TU football did not disappoint, it was a classic shootout against BYU, and maybe a record night for TU quarterbackf Paul Smith, who threw for 5 touchdowns and almost 500 yards pasing. I haven’t looked at the official stats but I bet between BYU and Tulsa there was over a 1000 yards of offense.
Very exciting game, lots of offense…big time defensive hits…strong crowd, beautiful evening weather, and the game was on TV. My boys (and me) had the greatest best time…they cheered…they yelled…they were interested in all aspects of the game…the people next to us were fun. Their favorite part was the fireworks after each TU score. One time after TU scored we decided to go down and get some snacks, when we returned both BYU and TU had scored touchdowns, we were gone less than 5 minutes.
Great night of Tulsa entertainment. Thanks to Steve for the half price tickets…final score 55-47. TU plays OU next Friday at home..hopefully they will keep it competitve. Ou is averaging close to 60pts a game/ Unfortuantely, I won’t be watching that one from the stands…but on the next best thing…my chair and my televisione.
