Unacceptable Again! And I pre-apologize for the rant!
I cancelled my subscription to the TW years ago and for good reason. They are a complete rag, full of writers that are about as anti-Tulsa as can be. Now this hack, Guerin Emig joins others there attacking Phillip Montgomery for allowing Briles to visit him - for just a visit.

That isn't something Emig should be writing about. For one thing, he is a complete OU tool that doesn't even live in the Tulsa area and probably hasn't even been to a TU game in years unless a Big12 team was involved. So its none of his XXXX business.

Sorry about the rant. But the snakes always seem to appear in the grass when TU does well. Why do some feel they are stronger when they allow themselves in the priviledged media to vomit their sports biases?

The TW still sends me flyers. When I get them, they go straight to the trashbasket. Too bad a once great newspaper has become such a rag.

Again, sorry about the rant.

I'm not too crazy about that Emig guy myself. I've read a couple of his articles that were alright, but usually I don't really care for what he writes (Out of what I've actually read of his). I will say that Kelly Hines (TU beat writer) seems alright though.

Evidently nothing has changed much in the last 50+ years....yes, I'm that old.....I distinctly remember writing to the Tulsa World about their terrible coverage of TU........The cause of my writing to them was the front page of the sports section, when the 2 inch headline across the top of the page was OU loses to Kansas(OU had something like a 3-7 record that year)........and down in the left hand corner was, TU beats #17 Houston( a ranked TU was 8-2 that year and had the runner up to the Heisman Trophy). I was amazed to get an answer from them and it basically said, there are more OU graduate than TU graduates. I'm sorry, but the more recognition TU gets, the more recognition the Tulsa World and the city of Tulsa will get.......OU does nothing for Tulsa!!!!!

I just visited the rivals site and there is a thread on this very thing. Kinda funny how we all think alike on so many issues. :) But i bet the TW won't get the message. Of all the people they should cuddle up to its us local fans who live here and are the most loyal Tulsans. But i guess they'd rather commit slow ritual suicide.
