There is no place quite like Norman, Oklahoma and the campus of the University of Oklahoma in the springtime--and for an NCAA regional tennis tournament...
The weekend started with a Texas victory over the University of Missouri at Kansas City followed by an exciting semi-final win by Tulsa over the University of Oklahoma (4-2).
After Friday's matches, our gracious host (Jim Lawson) took us out for supper and a great adventure through the rolling hills of Oklahoma. Seems that Jim's restaurant of choice was 30 miles west of Norman in some unnamed town! The restaurant was named Ken's Steak House and it was fantastic....
One of the highlights of the evening was our trip over hill and dale!
The highlight of the evening was seeing a different church about ever 1/4 mile! Some of the most famous ones were: "God's House" and "Ain't Ashamed of the Gospel Baptist Church."
"Three Stooges Minus One"
Of course our weekend in Norman wouldn't be complete without the appearance of the "Three Stooges Minus One." This great trio was mentioned earlier this year on the blog but now consists of only the infamous Jim Lawson and Dean Richardville. It is minus one since one of the stooges couldn't handle the heat of tennis officiating and has left the group.
The weekend culminated with an upset of the University of Texas by Tulsa University (4-3). Congratulations to the Hurricanes and may you do well at the NCAA tournament!

Ut 'Oh. Randy is gonna get another phone call!!!!!
By besting Oklahoma & Texas, Tulsa garnered their 1st trip ever to the Final 16......but, Alas, they came up short against #4 seed Ohio State by a 4-0 score.
With no Seniors on the team this year, Tulsa has all it's players back for another try next year. Watch out for this team!!
