The Golden Hurricast

What a wild finish to the regular season for men's basketball. We talk about the incredible Senior Day win over UCF, recap and preview Wichita State and discuss the men's chances in the conference tournament. Afterwards we break down the final two games of the women's season and give some *very* early thoughts about next years squad.

We discuss fighting, men's and women's basketball as their regular seasons wind down, senior days, break down a bit of the women's AAC tournament, and take a look around the league.  We also talk some USFL, Spring football, and a fresh transfer out of TU.  Timestamps: 0:00 - 4:40: Follow-up on last week's episode on attendance and apathy at TU 4:40 - 28:07: Men's basketball recap (and a...

In this week's episode we spend a lot of time lamenting about the University's seemingly apathetic commitment to making TU athletics a fun experience for their fans. Afterwards we dive into some basketball recaps and finish off with some football schedule first thoughts. Timestamps : 0:00 - 30:30: Attendance rant 30:30 - 39:56: Men's basketball recap 39:56 - 47:18: Angie Nelp's Chalk Talk & mo...

A few losses, a win, AAC CHAOS, fun football coaching hires, and even a section on textbooks!

This week was like something out of a Charles Dickens' novel: the men's team suffered the worst loss in almost 20 years to Tulane, and followed it up with a 31-point route of South Florida. And the women's team beat Memphis on the strength of their speed and guard play, but faltered on the road against Cincy because of the inside game. We break down their weeks, talk a little football, Matt had to...

New Tulsa women's basketball head coach Angie Nelp joins the Hurricast to discuss the record breaking start to the season, what led to it, how she plans to sustain the success, what Chalk Talk is, and if she has any advice for the men's team. She even breaks out a couple phrases that I think definitely count as life lessons (see the title).  After we talk with Coach Nelp, we continue with wom...

The men's basketball team has four straight losses by five points or less, including two to Temple and Houston this week. But their Kenpom ranking actually improved over the same time. Meanwhile the women's team has continued their best season of the decade with a dominant win over East Carolina. We break down all of this plus more more!

After a few weeks off for a nice holiday break, we are back in a big way with our football season wrap up episode!  We talk some basketball before welcoming in Cayden McFarland from 2 News Oklahoma (KJRH) to break down Tulsa's 2021 football season. We discuss what a "good" season looks like for TU, how this team and staff compare to past teams, our feelings about Philip Montgomery, the transf...

Happy Holidays! In this episode we talk about Tulsa's big bowl win over Old Dominion, talk about the *lack* of men's basketball, the ongoing hot streak on the women's side, and Go-Go on some Brennan Marion speculation.

It's Myrtle Beach Bowl preview time! To help us break down the big game against the Monarchs on December 20th, we bring in Old Dominion Athletics senior writer Harry Minium. We talk with Harry about Old Dominion's 1-6 start, the many talented young guns on this team, the rebuild Ricky Rahne has undertaken, how he thinks this game will go, and much more. No Matt in this one, so I take the rest of i...

Tulsa basketball had two games last week (spoiler: they lost both), but there is way more Tulsa news to talk about this week! Join us as we discuss the ORU / Boise State games, football playoffs and bowls, coaching news, transfer status, and Grey Cup action. *This episode was recorded before the big Defensive Coordinator news came out, so Matt for sure jinxed us.

Philip Montgomery signed a 2-year contract extension at "an unspecified time during the season", so he's now under contract through January or February of 2024.  We give our thoughts on the extension and what it means for TU football before digging into the SMU game, the transfer portal, bowl game possibilities, the AAC coaching carousel (and JP leaving Fear the Wave), basketball (men's and w...

A lot is happening in the world of Tulsa sports - Tulsa escaped Tulane with a win, women's basketball opened up a new era with a win, men's basketball won their opener before shockingly dropping one to Air Force, and men's soccer won the AAC Tournament to wrap it all up. We talk about all of that + bring in TU Hall of Famer Steve Gage to talk about TU football in the 80s and some of his thoughts o...

Buckle up folks, this is a big one. We:  1) Break down the College GameDay heartbreaker against Cincinnati  2) Preview one of our favorite football games (Tulane) with one of our favorite people (JP from Fear the Wave)  3) Bust out the basketball season preview!!!  4) Talk about men's soccer and hosting the AAC soccer tournament (starts on Wednesday!)  There's probably mor...

Tulsa travels to Cincinnati to take on the Bearcats in their first ever appearance on College GameDay. We bring back Brandon from GoBeercats to talk about the matchup and all things Cincy. Be sure to listen to his podcast as well this week to hear Ryan and Matt talk the Tulsa side of the matchup. Additionally, we break down the disappointing Navy loss and talk briefly about Montywatch.

There's a new AAC in town and it means BUSINESS. (if by business you mean big markets and a lot of money, which actually I think qualifies as BUSINESS pretty well)  We discuss the new-look AAC, why they brought in 6 teams, why these 6 in particular, and we break down each school and what they bring to the table.  After that, we welcome in Mike James ( @navybirddog ) from The Mid Report t...

Tulsa avoided the upset and came away with a one point win over USF this weekend. Now facing a bye week we bring back J.J. Cody for our second annual “No Sports Zone” to talk VanderPump rules, Magic Treehouse and way more!

After a 35-point home loss to a rival, the big question was how Tulsa would respond. There were some struggles, but overall the Hurricane bounced back as well as most could've reasonably hoped for and got a nice win over a decent Memphis Tigers team on Homecoming - AND debuted some gorgeous red throwback jerseys to boot.  We recap the Memphis win before bringing in Rob Steeg from The Daily Stamped...

Oof, Tulsa was beat bad by Houston last week losing 45-10 on national television. We break down this game a little bit before bringing back #MontyWatch for the first time since the 2019 season. After a preview of the Homecoming matchup with Memphis later this week we wrap it up with some of the crazy results happening in the conference.

Part two of our two-episode week this week!  To help us break down the Houston Cougars, we welcome in Dustin and Sam from The Scott & Holman Pawdcast! We discuss Clayton Tune, Marcus Jones, Houston's impressive defense, Dana Holgorsen, and, of course, we fit in some conference realignment talk at the end.  Loved chatting with these guys as usual. Go give them a follow on Twitter @SHP...

For the second week in a row, we’ve got TWO podcasts coming out in one week. This one is a full hour-long recap of Tulsa’s home win over Arkansas State, and the first win of the 2021 season. We talk about the offense's fantastic performance and explosive plays, Arkansas State's horrendous defense, and our mostly very very bad special teams play. We also of course crown our Offensive, Defensive, an...

Tulsa is 0-3 and coming off a 21 point loss to Ohio State. Yet, we’re still optimistic about this team going forward. We explain why we feel decent about the OSU loss, the rise of Davis Brin and more.

We're back early this week with a special episode all about conference realignment and AAC expansion! To help us hash things out, we got together with fellow AAC podcasters/bloggers Mike James (The Mid Report covering Navy), Nathan Bond (The Daily Stampede covering USF), and Jared Shafit (The Boneyard Podcast covering ECU) to discuss which teams the American should target in expansion. Loved talki...

If memes could be episode titles, this one would be the meme of all the spidermans (spidermen?) pointing at each other and they'd all be named OSU. We break down the loss at Oklahoma State and discuss the notable improvement we saw in two of the three phases of the game. We then preview our second-straight road trip - this time heading to Columbus to take on THE Ohio State University. And to round...

Somehow Tulsa managed to drop the season opener against FCS team UC Davis. The passing game couldn't get any traction and costly turnovers ruined great rushing performances by Deneric Prince and Shamari Brooks (179 and 88 yards respectively). After breaking down that loss, we hop on a call with Eli Lederman, the new OSU beat writer from the Tulsa World to talk about this weeks matchup. Finally, in...
