Tulsa Should Win the West

[mrydel]

And we should care about that because.........?

Because the UCF fans let her go over to the UF side, saying they had hotter hotties anyway

[mrydel]

I am an equal opportunity hottie ogler.

I love the ponies, but lets be objective. Tulsa has only lost 3 games--1 game was on a Hail Mary Pass, one on the road to good a Okla. State team, and to us by 3 points when they essentially couldn't catch some passes. They are better than our young kids are at this point.

I don't think big picture it would be good to hang on and win the West (even assuming we can), and then go place the East division team in their place and lose badly. Rather beat Marshall, lose to ECU and stay home at 6-6 for the Armed Forces Bowl. We save travel and other expenses, easier for our small fan base to have home bowl game, etc.

Let Tulsa go as the West representative, I think as of now they deserve it more anyway. I wish we would just focus on beating Marshall and getting to 6 wins and possible bowl, rather than the focus on West champs. I think winning last one on road at ECU very difficult and do not think we are anywhere 13 points or whatever the line is better than Marshall.

I wanted to bump this just to remind Pony in SA what he said about wanting us to lose to ECU and why. No mention of 6-7 scenario here. Just embarassed about the team.

I think you're out of line with this. I have the utmost respect for you mrydel, but I also think you should know better that while you can disagree with somebody, you also don't have to bloody their nose in it either. Let he who is among you without sin cast the first stone.

[mrydel]

He is the one that said we ridiculed him because he talked about the 6-7 scenario. I am just pointing out he made one of the worst posts ever. I know he is your friend, but read his post and tell me that is what a fan should say about their team. And now he is trying to revise history and say that he was right all along.

[Kynd Tulsa Phan]

Tulsa is the best team in the west.

Its not even close.

I dont think it matters who wins the west. UCF will bad rape Tulsa or SMU.

I dont mind Hawaii. I think it would be cool for Tulsa and I agree that The Armed Forces would be great for the Ponies.

I'll be at the Armed Forces Bowl if Pony is in it. Ill go if UTEP is in it just so I can harrass Mike Price for an hour.

Amazing how many extra words and thoughts you have read into this post. No where in the post does it say "lose to save face", that I "want us to lose", or that I was "hoping we would lose" like you claim on the other post. Words simply aren't there. The statements in your recent post simply aren't true.

Post says "at this point" I thought Tulsa better than our young kids, and better for us to be 6-6 and play a home bowl game. That was my opinion. Ridiculous if you think someone who has poured money into this program and supported scholarships of current players would want them to fail. You really need to check your facts before spouting off things untrue, claiming words are in a post that aren't, and have no basis in fact.

No need to even respond to the wanting to "recover from a very bad post" comment of yours. Really ?? Why would someone want to recover from a post on a message board. Recover from what ?? I am glad you know what everyone else who comes on here thinks.

Again, never said and words not there. Never said anything about ridiculed,etc. Read the post again. Said waiver is needed, which is true.

[mrydel]

If you want to stand by your hope that we lose that is fine with me. I for one never want SMU to lose.

[Pony in SA]

I never want us to lose either, despite what you think. Really wish you woul read the actual words of the post -- never does it say I hope we lose. In fact I think I posted after that I hope we go 7 and 5 and win them both by 30 or something like that.

I don't know you and you don't know me, and I am not one to post thing on here just to post things. But I take real offense to you implying things that simply aren't true, weren't written, etc. or that I want us to lose. Ask anyone who knows me, or those in the athletic dept. who call asking for more money, if I want us to ever lose.

[Pony_Fan]

Tulsa is the best team in the West right now. UCF would beat any West team at the moment.
SMU lucked out against Tulsa and I'm happy it made my Tulsa friend cry.

I can understand why mrydel was irritated with you just from the initial entry on this thread. While you may not have used the words "I hope we lose", it sure sounds like a loser's mentality.

Let Tulsa go as the West representative, I think as of now they deserve it more anyway.

Let's just win out fellas and not give anyone a reason to doubt whether or not we should be there. Now, in the words of Rodney King, "can't we all just get along?"

BEAT ECU!
