Oh yeah, Hoover is real affluent, but I think Hoover High is older than that.

I think this is the comment that started the whole "Everywhere-But-OK-Is-Great" ritual from the normal offenders (I joke, I joke).

So if this season is a success, Tulsa Union will be offered a chance to be on this reality show? I don't know what you all think, but I think it would be great, but I don't know how the old head coach would go for it.

Blankenship--- He ruined hi career stepping down... He still hasn't been offered a Coach Job in college yet... He was good and should have stuck with Union...

If they do it at Union, Tulsa should get some good publicity...

That's for sure. Just look at this thread. Imagine how a thread like this would look on the Birmingham forum (if there were one) especially if Two-A-Days went to a city that actually WAS nice! lol

Dang!!! Is Birmingham that nice...

They got that mall

New mall, wow Birmingham's going uptown now, huh?

The Galleria Mall... That’s all they talked about in the commercials they were showing during the game...




TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Ross Wilson passed for two touchdowns and Zack Lathem had two touchdown runs as the Hoover (Ala.) Buccaneers beat Tulsa Union 34-7 in a game Friday night between two of the nation's top high school football teams.

The Redskins kept the Buccaneers off the scoreboard for more than 16 minutes, but Hoover scored 17 points, including Lathem's 1-yard touchdown run with 7:18 left in the half, for a 17-0 lead at intermission.

Hoover is ranked as the No. 1 high school team in the country and has won the last four Class 6A state titles in Alabama.

Tulsa Union has won the last two Class 6A state titles in Oklahoma and three of the last four and is presently ranked No. 1 in The Associated Press Oklahoma high school football poll.

The Redskins had not lost on their home field since 1997

Hoover/Union

An awesome experience! The Union Band students and staff were extremely friendly and supportive. We practiced the National Anthem together and performed our shows for each other before we had dinner together provided by Union. We toured their athletic and fine arts facilities. They were quite impressive and better than any I have seen in Alabama.

You know Union lost a scrimmage earlier to Westmoore, the #4 team in the state.

Union sucks this year... No good players from other schools and a new coach and the coach is very good but needs time... His first real game was against Hoover... Think of what he was thinking...

Well you all just know everybody will watch this, and everybody would watch Tulsa Union too. It all comes down to whether or not the old Coach likes the idea.

Lets hope he nods his head yes... Then maybe we can forgive him for leaving the team...

Union, Jenks Renew Backyard Bowl Rivalry
September 5, 2006

The Union-Jenks rivalry, now known as the 'Backyard Bowl', renews this week as the eyes of Oklahoma High School football will be glued to Skelly Stadium for the year's most anticipated matchup.

This year, Union is coming into the game off a 34-7 loss to the nation's number one team, the Hoover Buccaneers from Alabama. Jenks also had a little trouble last week before scoring twice in the fourth quarter to defeat Bixby, 28-14.

But, it's time to put the first week behind them and get ready for the biggest game of the season.

Jenks and Union have combined to win the last ten Class 6A state championships, with Jenks winning six straight from 1996-2003 and Union winning three of the last four.

In the past 14 meetings since 1996, Jenks has won nine. But, the past six have been evenly split. The two teams have also met five times in that span for the Class 6A title, with Jenks winning four of those games.

And, Jenks has won the past two regular season meetings, which became known as the 'Backyard Bowl' in 2004. The winner receives the trophy and each school shares thousands of dollars thanks to a yearly donation from MidFirst Bank.

Quite possibly the best Union-Jenks game came last year, when Jenks trailed by 17 points in the fourth quarter before scoring 28 points in the final six minutes to pull off a 48-44 victory. Isaac Norman's 63-yard touchdown catch with 18 seconds left put the finishing touches on the win.

This will be the first time in a decade that neither team comes in ranked number one in the Associated Press poll. This week, the Muskogee Roughers took over the top spot while Jenks is second and Union is third.

And, Union can't relax after this week is over. They host the Roughers on September 15th.

Well the east side of B'Ham is the nice side. I would agree that a lot of B'Ham is not nice at all, but the side where these Hoover kids are from....man those neighborhoods are nice! The weird thing there is that you don't see the houses from the main roads though. On that side of town you have to go off on the 2-laners in the mountains to get to the neighborhoods....they hide them very well. Unless you know where you are going, you will never see the mansion neighborhoods. The developments there are just in a different concept from OK where you can usually see the neighborhood...basically because they are in the mountains and can't use a grid like we do, so things hide between hills and peaks and junk.

Moore won the Moore War...which surprised the non-Moore fans. Westmoore was SUPPOSED to be the best on the west half of the state....but I guess that's not true now. I don't personally have any feelings one way or the other, but I know the Moore fans were excited since it had been a few years since they won.

There are a lot of Union neighborhoods that are what you consider mansions... Maybe you haven’t seen the part of South Tulsa I’ am talking about but they got money... B-Ham from the show 2-A-Day’s their look ghetto, they play their football games at the double A baseball stadium because they don't won to expand their football stadium...

Here are some pictures I took in May these are Union neighborhoods...









I think Muskogee is going to win this year...
