Would like to throw a shout out to Baller who put in nearly a thousand miles.

Thanks for the lift from fassler hall.

When Larry Brown is complimentary of the travelers you know you did a good thing.

Don't get me wrong, we had good numbers and there was, at times, good enthusiasm. We needed someone to sort of coordinate the chants, like in Vegas. Just did not have that in Tulsa last night.

I've also started checking into flights / hotels for the Cincy game. If it looks like we could be undefeated at that point, I will definitely travel.

The SMU crowd wasn't it as much as they were last year but neither was the TU crowd.

The start time and midweek vs Saturday night is a huge difference. There was no energy in the entire building during the game. It was like we were playing at Tulane or ECU. They knew we were going to beat them and they just took it.

The Tulsa crowd was so dead, the emcee had to beg people to cheer for free food and free t-shirts. Even the free t-shirts barely got the crowd up. Side note about the free pizza they gave away, they gave about 2 pizzas to the 12 students who decided to show. Well for the next 5 minutes they were cramming their faces with pizza instead of even trying to cheer.

Arena was like a church during a funeral, somber and quiet
