Tulsa Football Team Appears at Annual Kickoff Luncheon on Tuesday

TULSA, Okla. –– Philip Montgomery introduced the 2019 edition of the Tulsa Golden Hurricane football team Tuesday afternoon at the Annual Golden Hurricane Football Kickoff Luncheon presented by ONEOK that took place

The Tulsa football team had a 2-hour workout Tuesday morning before the 12 p.m. luncheon at the RiverSpirit Casino Resort.

"Sometimes we get lost at what we're doing at the office, on the field and in the weight room," said Montgomery. "To come to this luncheon when you have boosters and fans able to sit down with our players and get to know them on a personal level, and vice versa. It's always a great event. I look forward to it every year."

"I think this event plus our Fan Fest on Saturday gives our fans a n opportunity to come out and see our guys," said Montgomery. "Any time you start away from home the first two weeks, you want to make sure fans are excited when you come back home and this is a chance to get them excited about what our guys are doing right now."

Montgomery talked more about the support he and his team has received from Golden Hurricane fans.

"It's a blessing to have the support that we have. As you look back over the last two years there were some trying times, obviously, yet are fans stayed true. We're going to continue to fight this uphill battle. We have a tremendous schedule across the board this year and we know we have tough games in front of us, but it's about us being who we are. We're the smallest FBS school in America. Our fans are loyal to us, we're loyal to them. We want to produce for them, just like we want to produce for our city, and our guys take that to heart and it means something to them," said Montgomery.

The Annual Fan Fest is scheduled for Saturday from 10-1 p.m. at H.A. Chapman Stadium.

Free Sno-Cones, bounce houses, games for kids, face-painting and food and drinks will be available. Following the scrimmage, there will be on-field activities for youth from 12-12:30 p.m. and an autograph session from 12:30-1 p.m. The 2019 Tulsa football poster will also be distributed.
