***TULSANOW FORUM OFFER***... if any of you want to party with the crazy group behind the south goal for the game tonight against Club America U20 at 7:30, I am offering $10 tickets at the tailgate starting at 5pm and online (PayPal) at http://tulsaroughnecks.com/Tulsa_Athletics_NPSL.php ... I will be shutting down PayPal at approx. 2pm this afternoon.  Otherwise, tickets will be available at the box office for $15 and $20.  Our supporters group will be entering the stadium in somebody's biga$$ military vehicle... not sure if that's the most politically correct idea for this particular game, but hey...

The guy in the blue snapback seems a little distracted in this pic...

Looks like Tulsa is well on its way to establishing the area as a hotbed for soccer.  

NASL of which Tulsa Roughnecks use to be a member will be expanding--OKC is its smallest member scheduled to enter the league in 2014 or 2015..  If NASL soccer becomes successful in OKC; it is a no brainer that Tulsa could return to the NASL  and renew a rivarly between two cities which is long overdue.

The last rivarlies between Oklahomas' two largest cities dates back to the Central Hockey League, Continential Basketball Association, American Association baseball and an exhibition game in soccer which was played in Ponca City which ended in a 1-1 tie between the Tulsa Roughnecks and the OKC Slickers.

Sports competition between Tulsa and OKC has always been healthy and entertaining.

I hope Immigration does not show up to one of these games....!!!

...interview with the "Shoeless Joe Jackson" of the real Tulsa Roughnecks, Billy Caskey...
http://www.tulsaathletics.com/news/proklahomans-legends-edition-billy-caskey/

Sonny Dalesandro:         What are your thoughts on a team in Tulsa going by the name the Tulsa Roughnecks?

Billy Caskey:         Well, I don't know how the fans would feel about that.  That's a one off thing that'll never happen again.  They'll never resemble the Roughnecks that we had here, all those years ago.  I think the name should be put to rest and put down in history.

Victor Moreland:         Well said!  Put to rest, buddy, brilliant.

Sonny:         What are your thoughts on the Tulsa Athletics?

Billy Caskey:         The thing about it is it's making an effort to get soccer back and put soccer on the map again in Tulsa.  I was here 20 years again, and I just watched Vic's teams practice last night.  How much the kids know about soccer is unbelievable.  That, for me, is the legacy of the Roughnecks.  I hope your team does that and has your own legacy.  Soccer is a game for any size.  I watched a ten-year-old kid play just one touch.  A ten-year-old.  That doesn't happen in Ireland.  You don't see that.  Ten-year-olds want to dribble the ball the whole time.  This kid controlled it, and if he was seeing a first-time pass then he passed it, and he was playing against the older boys.  I had to go over and talk to that kid and told him I'd never seen a ten-year-old kid play like that, with a touch like yours.  He was all embarrassed, and probably couldn't understand my accent.

Victor coaches both of my kids and their teams are both ranked in the top ten in the state for their age group.

If you have a kid in soccer, consider playing for the Tulsa Nationals.

OK I just gotta say it. Damn Ruf your pictures are huge! You have to scroll the equivalent of four pages per one post. Gotta hand it to you though. Since the admins took the add picture tab away a few years back. I still haven't figured out how to post any. So ginormous is whole lot better than adding none.

Also congrats on the progress you guys got going on out there. Saw the story on the news last night. Looking good.

Ruf is hosting them on facebook.

As far as making the images smaller, yeah, that'd be nice.  Add "Width=" or "height=" inside the IMG tag. 

This way, you can fit more images on one line, and be a better net citizen.  Even half of the original size is an improvement

The Athletics beat Fort Worth 2-1 last night and will face OKC FC tonight in the Red River Cup Final at 8pm.
