[merged] All posts about Tulsa coverage in Arkansas media go here

[Jones4040]

I never thought i would see film of the Tulsa spring game on an Arkansas TV.

Like GM or not (most of us like him), does anyone really give a flip about Tulsa?

This weekend we had track and Hog baseball, news from the basketball team, the cardinals, the nba finals, etc. and we get highlights of the Tulsa spring game?

The true colors are showing, when you take time away from our bad ass baseball team and give it to Tulsa's spring game.

True Colors shining through.

Do the stations up there usually show Tulsa stuff?

tulsa stations up here show arksansas stuff all the time.

I'll echo cabothog's words:

Cry me a frankin river

[Jones4040]

Never...Now the Tulsa papers report some on Arkansas, but not the other way around and rightfully so.

[TOM "tbw1"]

You, sir, are a witling.  KFSM's viewing area reaches all the way to Tulsa.

[Jones4040]

Then why does channel 5 not cover tulsa all the time?

[DSMSHog]

What is this world coming to.

[Jones4040]

There are Hog fans in Tulsa, but I have never in my life met a Tulsa fan living over here.

[Jones4040]

Do you really think the Hog Baseball team's time should get cut so Tulsa's spring game can get covered?

The NBA finals were this weekend?  I didn't even know that, but I don't like the NBA.  It just always seemed like the finals were in June.

Jones4040, when you are a sports director you will be able to make your own decisions.  You could put your "Day in the life of Houston Nutt segment" against the Tulsa spring game.  Until then..........

[Since 1894]

I respectfully disagree with your Jones4040.  Your profile doesn't say where you are located from but in NWA, a lot of people want to follow Gus and get updates.  We have seen the HUNH Spread for years and want to see if it can work in college.  Tulsa is less than 2 hours away now and we will always wonder, what if.

If you listened to Mike on Press Row this morning, he gave his opinion of where the Tulsa program is right now and pointed out several shortcomings.  They have a lot of needs right now that they will have to work on (via recruiting) and Mike's opinion was that having the fans call the plays was kind of weird.  I got the impression (as of right now), Mike would be surprised if the HUNH Spread would take a couple of years before it got up and going.

Be Good

Considering part of the KFSM coverage area is in eastern Okla, I don't know why it's so shocking or appalling that Tulsa would get a little coverage.

The Tulsa stations throw a little coverage of ARK on the air there, and the Tulsa World regularly includes ARK coverage.

Quit your whining and change the channel if you don't like it.

[Jones4040]

I said nothing about Nutt...I said Hog baseball got cut for Tulsa spring game.

[GorillaJMonsoon]

There are Hog fans in Tulsa, but I have never in my life met a Tulsa fan living over here.

There are a lot of Gus fans over here that want to see how the HUNH plays out in college.  If you dont want to watch, turn the channel. 

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

There are Hog fans in Tulsa, but I have never in my life met a Tulsa fan living over here.

so Im assuming you've met everybody in the nwa area

[Hog Scratch Fever]

What's the big deal?  I've never been a Tulsa fan, but I have interest in the program now just because I want to see how Malzahn does there, and I live in Conway.  I haven't abandoned my love for the hogs, I am just hoping Malzahn does well.  I'm sure the same goes for Mike.  I don't know him personally, but I can imagine he still loves the hogs, but is interested in how Gus does, but is frustrated at what has gone on at the hill.  No more, no less.

[Jones4040]

Since 1894....isn't it funny that fans and media expect 3 years for the HUNH to get installed at Tulsa, but when it was Arkansas they expected it on day 1?

Gus could have installed it here in 3 years, but we will never know. Not enough patience here. Gotta win now. Tulsa can lose every game for the next 2 years and nobody would care.

[Jones4040]

So, I gather that all of you are ok with time being cut away from the Hog Baseball team and givin to the Tulsa spring game.

I mean guys this isn't even note worthy. Every school has a spring game and you can't learn anything by them. Mike could have said " Tulsa and GM had their Spring game today" and that would have told you everything you needed to know. Its not like film from the game is going to tell you anything.

Why can't we just give the time to the Hogs?

[Porkerpower]

Do you really think the Hog Baseball team's time should get cut so Tulsa's spring game can get covered?

Ya see, you're trying to dictate what other people do with a sports report.  If it offends you that much, change channels. Never watch that channel again if it makes you feel better.
It's news worthy in NWA because one of their own is there.  Malzahn has a chance to do stuff of legend at Tulsa.  So far in his college career, one year, he's the defending "offensive coordinator of the year", according to Rivals.  He has greatness written all over him, and all of college football can see it.  He's from Springdale for gosh sake.  A local boy doin good.  Be happy for him.

Yea, it's news worthy in NWA.

[Jones4040]

OK, then why didn't they cover the North carolina Spring game? Butch Davis is a springdale high alum and his Dad still lives on Springdale CC? Do we cover every sports figure that has ever spent time in NWA?


No one has answered my question. Do you think it is good to take time away from the Hog Baseball team and give it to the Tulsa Spring Game?

When you have a coach off of two consecutive losing seasons and and a very hot seat, absolutely he wasn't going to give it three years to be implemented...

Butch Davis hasnt coached here in many many moons.

WIsh he was here right now but our AD was too stupid to cut the nutt when BD was available.

[RazorsEdge]

Since Gus grew up in Ft. Smith, people there are likely to be interested as well.  Who won the NBA finals?

Tulsa??hell no GO HOGS GO

[NuttinItUp]

Who cares. KFSM and all tv stations cover things that they think will interest their viewership. If you don't like it, don't watch. Supply and demand.

Viewers want to see it.  Deal with it.

[RazorsEdge]

Jones4040, you have 61 posts on this board.  Most of your posts are about Mitch, Damian and Gus.  You have one post about the Razorback baseball team.  Why are you devoting your time to something negative when you could be posting about the Razorback baseball team.  It looks to me like the coverage is about right for you.

Some people aren't happy unless they are complaining about something.

[Big_D]

There are Hog fans in Tulsa, but I have never in my life met a Tulsa fan living over here.

You might want to reevaluate your position on Tulsa fans that live over here now, in light of Gus going over there.

What you don't seem to realize is I can love the Hogs and still pull for Gus too. Does your brain not seem to comprehend that?

all stations up here show Jacksonville Jaguars highlights too, wonder why?

all stations up here used to show Pittsburgh Steelers stuff too, every hear of barry foster?

wonder why there are a lot of bronco fans in ARK? ever hear of atwater

what do folks like you, who will bitch about tulsa coverage, or soon to be USC snippets have to gain. People on here care about those with an arkansas connection.

So, look yourself in the mirror stewart smalley and give yourself a daily affirmation, it will be ok.

your insecurity knows no bounds

[Porkerpower]

I didn't see the sports show, but did they not do any reporting on the hogs baseball and track team?  Surely they did.
I'm assuming you're trying to say a Tulsa segment could have been replaced by MORE hog coverage?  Is this correct?

Or did they omit hog coverage all together?  If so, shame on them.

[Nashville Fan]

Let me see. You are complaining and point fingers at Mike for covering a story 100% created by HDN? Not sure I understand your post. To me it would make more sense to post something about HDN spliting the football interests in NWA.

Actually, I would be interested to know if more went to the Tulsa spring game then the AR spring game and the attendence at Tulsa spring game this year versus last year.

[1stwordswerewoopig]

This has been said before but I'll repeat it...

They show what they think interests their viewership.

If you are offended, let them know (letter/phone call), and change the channel.

If you're REALLY offended, let their advertisers know.

That seemed to work against Imus!

I'm interested in how Gus does in Tulsa, but not at the expense of Razorback coverage. Take the time away from the weather or something else.

[Coacht]

I'm interested in what GM does at Tulsa. I'm a hog fan. However, I am an Arkansas fan as well. I would love to see anyone from Arkansas do well anywhere they go. GM is in a position to make a big name for himself and I would like to say I followed him from the beginning.

[RazorsEdge]

Once again, Jones4040, you have 64 posts on this board.  Most of your posts are about Mitch, Damian and Gus.  You have one post about the Razorback baseball team.  Why are you devoting your time to something negative when you could be posting about the Razorback baseball team.  It looks to me like the coverage is about right for you.

[OKCHogFan]

I want Gus to prove his system can work...

You are such a hugger.  Gus will always be a Razorback.  I, for one, wish him the best.  I believe the sky is the limit for him.

Is it your position that channel 5 did not cover the Arkansas themes at all? (i didnt catch 5 news)

Or is it your position that they did, but you ASSUME that because TU highlights were shown, it cut a UofA spot short?


If it is the first, you have a valid point. If it is the second, you have nada....

[russell33]

whats the big deal? all 4 of the tulsa channels cover the hogs.

Why can't we just give the time to the Hogs?

Jones4040 -

Yes, it will be interesting to see how long it takes to install the HUNH Spread offense.  If it takes Tulsa a couple of years to get it up to speed, then that will be a positive in the eyes of the HDN supporters.  After two losiing seasons, HDN couldn't afford another sub-par year and that is why he again went with his strengths. JMHO.

Also, you keep saying that the TU report "cut into" baseball coverage.  Do we really know that?  Maybe Ch. 5 gave as much time to baseball as they would normally have and they would have gone; if not to TU football, to a different story - maybe golf, MLB, ...

I don't know.
