Bigger and Better Things

Well, there you go, Kragthorpe is gone. What a shame. I'm really sad to see him go. Kragthorpe turned the idea of football in Tulsa completely around. Most of Tulsa thought you had to travel to Norman or (man it hurts to say this) Stillwater to see big time college football in the state, until Kragthorpe entered the picture. He changed the minds of many and turned Tulsa into a real competitor in Conference USA. His Golden Hurricane won the championship last year and was a definite contender this year.

So, he's off to coach the Cardinals. I wish him luck. I know he'll do a great job there. So, what's next for TU? My neighbor said today he heard Brent Venables is being talked about. That's the first that I've heard of that. What I really want to know is how can TU find a coach and keep the coach? Will they ever be able to keep a coach?? Their basketball coaches have notoriously kept the revolving door in motion, will this trickle over to the football program?

On to OU, the girls will play Baylor tomorrow night in Waco. They are looking for their 22nd straight conference win, Courtney will be contending for her 42nd straight double-double...what a streak that is!! And a win over a good Baylor team is always a good thing!

At roughly the same time tomorrow night (both games start around 7pm), our boys will be playing Colorado at home. Hopefully we can get another win under our belts. They need to gain a little confidence.

pu-shaw, I don't think TU will throw enough money to their football program to afford a Venables.
