I'm with Kman - looks like bur oak to me. I had some sent to me this fall from a generous fellow in TX which indeed look like there was some Q.lyrata influence - much more inclusive of the acorn than most southern bur oaks I've encountered, and much less in the way of 'fringe' around the edge of the cap. Shell was not, however, thick & corky, like overcup oak, but I don't think those from my confirmed Q.lyrataXbicolor are, either.
Leaves on this tree were more deeply incised than most bur oaks I've encountered
