If you’ve seen the Francis Ford Coppola movie The Outsiders or read the novel by S.E. Hinton in seventh grade, you’ll know that Tulsa is a tough town.
We all know how tough Tulsa can be from the AAC title game last year. Although they have had some turnover in personnel, their 3-5 mark is not reflective of the quality of this team, which has genuine weapons across the board on offense and defense.
Think of Tulsa’s football team as being like the extended Curtis family in the Outsiders—unheralded but full of talented pieces.
A brief preview of the Tulsa Golden Hurricane courtesy of my recollections of the film version of the Outsiders:
Quarterback Davis Brin is “Dally,” played in the film by Matt Dillon.
