Probably. He’s obviously such a Sooner hater our move away from the B12 isn’t likely to deter him much, if any. He’s a troll.
It’s a personal thing between me and Mike.

To me the “support the state teams” has never made sense. Also most osu fans can’t stand OU and care more about OU losing than osu winning when playing other teams. So you know what? Screw OSU lol
At least the Pokes have a lively 24/7 Politics board that welcomes free speech where a lot of us hang out and tolerate each other
I like Mike. I supported him when he took up for his quarterback who wasn't 40. His brother served us well for more than two decades. Really, close to three when you consider his playing career. I always pulled for OSU when their win didn't hurt us. I don't care if many of their fans hate us. The OSU people I know personally are good people.
Honestly, I'll continue to like Big 12 teams more than the SEC guys. I'm sure that if I live into my mid-80's, that I'll eventually gravitate towards the SEC, unless we leave them. RIght now, they're our fifth conference since WWII. Why not another, because right now I still hate the SEC. Pretty sure I'll pull for OSU for awhile when they play any SEC team, and I still wish we hadn't followed the Longhorns there.
The good thing for me, is that we have more opportunities to beat them more often.

Agree 100%. I support OSU, Tulsa, ORU and all other Home State programs.
The first college football game I attended was a Tulsa game that one of my Cub Scout friends’ Dad took several of us to when Howard Twilley was a star. That was a pretty exciting start; can’t remember the opponent but believe TU prevailed
My parents were lifelong Tulsans until dad got a new job, and moved us to Plano 60 years ago this week. My first college football game to attend was against Hardin-Simmons or New Mexico State, I think the former in 1958, which was when TU's stadium was called Skelly Stadium. There were no south end zone, but abundant north end zone tickers, which were sold to season ticket holders cheaply. I never heard of OU football until the early 60's.
The last season we had the tickets was 1963, when Twillly was a sophomore. He entered a game late. John Simmons was the publicized receiver until OSU broke his leg on a mugging when he was lined up wide. Think he was a senior. That early game, Twilley came in and caught like five passes and announced that he would be a force to be reckoned with. After we moved, the GH played eventual national champion Arkansas off their feet, eventually losing by single digits in the opener. That, and a narrow loss to Cincinnati in the Missouri Valley Conference, were the only losses as Tulsa went 9-2 with a bowl win over Ole Miss in the Bluebonnet Bowl. And then Twilley's senior year, they went 8-3, with narrow losses to Arkansas and OSU, and a return to the Bluebonnet. loss to one loss Tennessee in '65. Glenn Dobbs, the former 1940's Golden Hurricane quarterback who had the program at a pretty high level. But things went downhill three years later, lowlighted by a 100-6 loss to Houston's veer.
I'd been an OU fan listening to games on the radio beginning when I saw them against Texas every year, even though we only beat the Horns one time in the 60's. But after we went 10-1 in '67, and beat UTenn in the Orange Bowl, I was hooked for life. But many times, I could listen to TU games on the radio, more easily that OU games, because KVOO in Tulsa had such a powerful signal. I even listened to some TU basketball there also, and couldn't ever hear an OU basketball game in Plano.
But when Mike Vachon kicked four FG's in '66, and then we beat UTenn in '67, my passion for TU anything faded quickly.
I do remember in 1969, my freshmen year, we had a GREAT freshman football team, the Boomers. Joe Wylie, Greg Pruitt, Tom Brahaney, Dean Unruh, Albert Chandler, Raymond Hamilton, Derland Moore, Mike Struck, Larry Roach, Jon MIlstead, and the quarterbacks were Dave Roberton and Dan Ruster. In the four team schedule, they went to Tulsa, and TU's quarterback had a great game, and OU's only close game was a 28-24 win over I think they were called the Golden Gales. That TU quarterback ended up eventually being a great receiver. I believe he's now in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Well, my son grew up an OU Fan, but he's going to OSU and now that we are going to be in separate conferences, it makes it even easier.
It's truly remarkable that a KSU fan has a gold membership on this site, and has been here since 2003. I'm curious to know what the attraction is. Seriously.
Only thing I can think of is he has a boy crush on the ex-KSU coaches we’ve had like Stoops and Venables. Or maybe even Mangino. LOL
Like me, it's free to be here, so he may just want to hang out, to harass opposing fans. I go to the Orangebloods free board, but try to behave myself when I'm there. It's interesting to see what the bad guys are thinking.
