UH @ Oklahoma State

[Major Malcontent]

Coogs are 16.5 point dogs. We need a good showing here and in our next game to prove we can compete at this level. I think our offense will hold its own but our defense will be badly tested by these guys.

Cowboys 45- Cougars 35 (but it's not inconceivable that score could be reversed).

[TheBigAristotle]

Yeah that's going to be a lot of firepower for UH to contend with. We shall see. A good showing is definitely going to help our cause though.

[Fulgore]

Coogs 41
Ok State- 38


Keenum 325 yds passing 3tds
The Brick 100+yds rushing 1td
Dugat 75 yd punt ret td

[MexAmercnMoose]

we need to play a damn near perfect game to win this one...possible? yes, probable....not too sure

[cdastros]

Is this game on TV?

[Pete Chilcutt]

Go coogs, im pumped for the next two games. I hope we pull this one off

[Egghead]

Is this game on TV?

FSN Houston

[DreamRoxCoogFan]

anyone know where I can get the game online? I dont see it on channelsurfing.net

[rockets934life]

Coogs should give them a fight for maybe 3 qtrs but OKA St just looked to dam good on defense last week vs Georgia to see them losing. Turnovers as usual should be the key, if the Coogs get some it could be interesting but if they put the ball on the ground this could get ugly.

OKA St 49 Coogs 34

Thats a bit absurd...

[Major Malcontent]

I'm a UH student and fan.

UH 21 - OSU 105

Well OSU is favored by 16.5....

If you want the Cowboys and are willing to give 28.5....I'll take the Coogs and give you 4-1 odds...any sum you wanna name.

[DonnyMost]

anyone know where I can get the game online? I dont see it on channelsurfing.net

Wait a few more minutes


kickoff at 2:30

[macalu]

UH needs to play this game like they played the first half of last year's game to have any chance. Go Coogs!

[Refman]

UH - 31
OSU-35

[Fulgore]

I'm a UH student and fan.

UH 21 - OSU 105Would hate to see your score if u went to oklahoma state.

at least they hobbled Hunter.

That fumble inside the 15 hurt , but we're going to win this sucker.

WITH A VENGEANCE!!!! I'm losing it. I can't believe it. I can't .

[DonnyMost]

That was a beautiful screen!

[Chopped]

**** im pumped for next weeks game.

[Major Malcontent]

Still a half to go..but THIS IS AWESOME!

[solid]

I am stunned; I was hoping for a respectable showing, but the Cougars look legit. They are blazing fast and Keenum is sooo good. The UH line play has impressed me the most; they are outweighed but they are strong and quick. Good grief, if they win this thing, the football world will be turned upside down. Unfortunately, a long way to go.

[The Drake]

Wow, major props to UH...gotta love seeing the Big 12 getting rocked.

Now if only Wyoming and Rice (lol, who am i kidding?) can take care of business the way UH is, it'll be a great Saturday!

[astros148]

robertson stadium is going to be INSANE

[Refman]

The Coogs need to stay aggressive. If they start playing not to lose rather than playing to win...they will lose.

If they stay aggressive and avoid giving up big plays on defense, the Coogs have a chance.

[bigtexxx]

Wow, major props to UH...gotta love seeing the Big 12 getting rocked.

Now if only Wyoming and Rice (lol, who am i kidding?) can take care of business the way UH is, it'll be a great Saturday!

Yeah don't look for Rice to win in Lubbock

but I will point out that Rice has scoreboard on UH.

[KingCheetah]

C'mon Coogs !

Yeah don't look for Rice to win in Lubbock

You do realize the drake is a rice alum, right?

[DonnyMost]

These announcers are nauseating.

Can we change FSN to the Big XII sports propaganda network?

[DonnyMost]

BIG TIME block in the back on that return, no call.

[astros148]

ugh............

[Cannonball]

These announcers are nauseating.

Can we change FSN to the Big XII sports propaganda network?

Agreed.

[Astro101]

These announcers are nauseating.

Can we change FSN to the Big XII sports propaganda network?

Well, isn't FSN like where most the Big XII play?

[solid]

Well, now we will see what the Coogs are made of. You had to know that OSU was going to come out smoking. And they did. Crunch time.

[Plowman]

BIG TIME block in the back on that return, no call.


Absolutely ! Bryant still , is an incredible player who is going to be a stud in the NFL.


I see us coming down and getting one of those TD's back here.

[KingCheetah]

Damn, that was quick -- let's go UH...

[DonnyMost]

I don't like what this rain is doing to the UH defense... or the offense.

[astros148]

wtf was that ****

[KingCheetah]

WTF that was pure shoulder pad !

[DonnyMost]

BS penalty on Blackmon.

[astros148]

why noot go for the 4th down, god damn it

[macalu]

Nice tackling Coogs.

[Astro101]

Wow. Lol.

[astros148]

lol................wow

[Cannonball]

UH was tackling well early in the game. It's gotten pretty pathetic since then.

[DonnyMost]

OK, these announcers can eat a bag of hell.

The guy broke a tackle at the 20 YARD LINE and the announcer yelled "AND HE SCORES!!!" immediately.

This is garbage commentating.

[Plowman]

I can't believe they've worn us down.

Let's see if the Cougars can stand tall.

[Rokkit]

That's some great play calling.

[astros148]

yawn


next week should be fun anyways

[rpr52121]

U of H has gotten a bit too predictable on offense. and Keenum does not seem to be seeing the entire field.

On defense, they just need to start tackling and getting off blocks again.

Oh, and remember kick all punts/KO's into EZ or OOB, seriously why did they even give Dez a chance to return that one?

[Astro101]

Hey, back on top!

[DonnyMost]

Balls to the wall call by Sumlin.

The refs screwed us on 3rd down, Keenum was in.

[rpr52121]

Balls to the wall call by Sumlin.

The refs screwed us on 3rd down, Keenum was in.

I think he was in on 2nd down too, they just called the play dead too early.

[Plowman]

It usually takes a lot for me to say this, but......atrocious officiating.


It's going to the wire.

[astros148]

ugh..............

[The Drake]

oof, stopped on 3rd down

[Cannonball]

WOW! How lucky was that?

[KingCheetah]

What a game !

:cool:

[macalu]

YES!!!!!!! TD!!

[Astro101]

Wow. Lucky break. Nice TD.

[astros148]

**** YEAH BABYYYYYYYYY1111111111111111

[macalu]

How about the defense show up now.

[DonnyMost]

WOW

that looked like Marshall's miracle grab vs. OSU in '06

[astros148]

look slike we'll get the ball last, even if they score a td, WE CAN STILL WIN IT

[solid]

Kick it away! Kick it away! Don't give them the 40 or 50!

[astros148]

wtf is this . do we not have a good kicker

[solid]

Do the Coogs not have a kicker that can put it in the endzone?!!!! Good grief, we are making it easy!

[macalu]

UH Ball!!!!

FUMBLEEEEEEE

[astros148]

OH MY ****ING GOD!!!!!

man UH will be insane on monday if they win.


GOOO COUGS

From here in it is all coaching, and little execution!

[jaykay]

Such an insane game! Hopefully we can hold on. GO COOGS!

[rpr52121]

What is with these play calls?

[solid]

Two passes after a timeout!!!!!! That's just stupid.

[airbulllard]

wow UH really can't run at all eh?

jesus.... horrible punt too

[DonnyMost]

Why would you not go for it? What evidence has your kicking game given you to trust it so far?

[BrooksBall]

Wow...

Didn't like the last series, but I will take the interception for the TD!

[airbulllard]

congrats UH, you might get ranked this year

[The Drake]

I JUST CUMMED
Just thought I'd quote this so it can't be edited later ;)

[rpr52121]

That was lucky, Robinson was not very accurate on that pass at all.

Now U of H needs to play smart and TACKLE!!!!

[Egghead]

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGS

i haven't had chills like this in a long time.

wheres the after party?
ya for real. where is the after party?

[rpr52121]

The Ok St coaches do not know how to call off plays when you are down 2 scores with 2:30 left. And why was the clock running, that was 30 secs that should not have once he ran oob.

[DonnyMost]

I'm literally shaking trying to contain myself... i want to see 00:00 on the clock

[across110thstreet]

Cowboys 45- Cougars 35 (but it's not inconceivable that score could be reversed).


good call!

[jasonemilio]

Good game Coogs :(

Keenam is a special player. I'm just frankly disappointed in our defense, after finally believing that they were finally going to play up to their recruiting status. So much for that huh? :o

[MexAmercnMoose]

f burning up the city....let's burn down the rice campus!!

Is the game really over?!!!! I am in shock! I keep looking to see if the game is really over!!!!!! You have no idea how long I have waited for my school to bring back the glory days. Good grief, if they improve defensively and get a kicker they will go undefeated! How many seats in Robertson, I might come down!?

[ItsMyFault]

Congrats Coogs fans... great win.

[JusBleezy]

First college football game that I've watched completely since the Vince Young Rose Bowl game, because I'm at UH now and.... Wow. Great game and great win for the university.

National recognition incoming? :)

[Major Malcontent]

Awesome....hold serve against Tech at home....run through C-USA, hope Tech and Okie State pull some upsets and see what the BCS folks have to say.

If UH goes undefeated, they just might.

If they are undefeated, they should be in the top 10 and get a BCS berth.

[The Drake]

We? you're at UH now?

[Major Malcontent]

Gotta give Fulgore props...I may have said 45-35..but I hedged my bet by saying Okies or Coogs. Fulgore had UH all the way with a similar score.

[krnxsnoopy]

we wont get a BCS bowl game. **** the BCS

IF they run the table, they will get a BCS bowl. Get the wins FIRST, then complain.

[JusBleezy]

They're talking about the win on College Football Overdrive on ESPNews right now.

They said OSU will drop well out of the top 10 and UH will move into the top 20.

One opinion, but it bodes well for UH.

Go Cougars!

[jasonemilio]

I wish the Coogs the best but some of the fans that I've encountered on the other boards have left me with a bad taste in my mouth.


I'm conflicted right now :(

Regardless, Good Game. Houston deserves to be ranked now

[TheRealist137]

Congrats to the Cougars. I'm very excited to see UH football get some national recognition now.

[REEKO_HTOWN]

No ****** respect from the Mickey mouse network. **** em'

[DonnyMost]

No ****** respect from the Mickey mouse network. **** em'

We beat a top 5 team and don't get top billing on ESPN.

What a joke.

[rockets934life]

HOLY $#%$^

I feel asleep and forgot to watch the game...UH actually won! This is incredible considering how good OKA ST looked vs Georgia. Now you start to wonder how bad Georgia is but I haven't checked there game vs South Carolina but thats niether here or there. Congrats COOGS HUGE win...this is the type of win that puts programs back on the map! Texas Tech didn't look to impressive vs there usual crap opponent last week so If the Coogs win next week vs another ranked team would mean a BCS bowl is possible but both Boise and BYU would have to lose.

[jasonemilio]

I'm extremely pissed off at our highly recruited guys on the D-line like Chinasa, Richetti Jones, Derek Burton, etc getting stuck on blocks against an undersized offensive line.


I just wish for once our guys can live up to their potential!!!! :mad:

That's all.

I would be very impressed if UH can stay ranked throughout the year. Not just a one week fluke. Hopefully they can finish the year strong and go to a mid-level (or better) bowl game.

[throwedyung14]

Anyone else notice Bill Worell on the field hugging Sumlin after the game? He was in a rain jacket.

[JusBleezy]

College Football Overdrive just gave UH some love for those of you complaining about that (rightfully so).

Said that this is a program changing win for UH. The team fought back after OSU made their run in the 3rd quarter and do not wilt under the pressure. Nothing everyone didn't already know and say.

Little tidbit of love for the UH faithful.

[rockets934life]

I would be very impressed if UH can stay ranked throughout the year. Not just a one week fluke. Hopefully they can finish the year strong and go to a mid-level (or better) bowl game.

This is the sucky part about conference USA...I believe that the best the Coogs can do if there not invited to a BCS bowl is the liberty bowl as CONF USA champs. I have always said that UH needs to get out of CUSA even if they get slaughtered for a few years until they adjust but with low attendance and a crappy stadium it will be difficult so wins like this is huge to boost support.

[JusBleezy]

I would be very impressed if UH can stay ranked throughout the year. Not just a one week fluke. Hopefully they can finish the year strong and go to a mid-level (or better) bowl game.

Of course. They have to get there first, though. Once they have proven they can get there, then that's an entirely new battle they'll have.

Yeah, but where would they go?

MWC wouldn't be that much of a step up from CUSA. If anything, it would just be UH doing worse in a different non-BCS conference.

[astros148]

Yeah, but where would they go?

MWC wouldn't be that much of a step up from CUSA. If anything, it would just be UH doing worse in a different non-BCS conference.
and they shouldnt go into the BIg 12 , so where do you go? Maybe we would get some recognition if we went into the MWC?

[The Drake]

and they shouldnt go into the BIg 12 , so where do you go? Maybe we would get some recognition if we went into the MWC?
Slightly more coverage, but I think it would be a negligible amount.

Maybe if the MWC did a major realignment and attempted to collect the 12 best non-BCS teams to create a super-conference (which actually would be kinda cool) that could consistently rival virtually any conference in the BCS, UH would see a greater benefit from leaving CUSA. But that's not a very likely scenario.

I just think that UH needs to dominate CUSA year in and year out before they think about jumping ship (or before any BCS concference would think about adding them)

[Plowman]

Why, the SEC of course.

the other way around and you've got it. unbelievable. a really shocking win :eek: , but gonna enjoy it nevertheless.

Quick question for the longtime UH football people here. It seems that Robertson Stadium isn't thought of as a great stadium at all. Does the university have plans to build a new stadium to accomodate a better program in the future?

I would love to see this be a new potential BCS conference...

UH - Probably ranked next week
BYU - Ranked
UTAH - Ranked
Boise - Ranked
TCU - Ranked
Fresno St - Nearly beat Wisconsin today
Southern Miss
East Carolina
Colorado St - beat Colorado last week
Nevada
Tulsa
Air Force

Basically take the best from each the MWC, WAC and CUSA which would create a number of ranked teams coming togathar that would match almost any conference in the nation. This would elevate UH as they would get a number of high profile matchups that would easily sellout Robertson or even semi fill Reliant along with giving the WAC and MWC more legs to stand on when they fight to be included in the BCS.

Nah that wont work.

UH needs to focus on:
1. Dominating Con-USA comp every year.
2. Improving attendance.
3. Improving stadium.

After all are complete. UH pulls out all the stops to get into the BIG 12.

[Scarface281]

Quick question for the longtime UH football people here. It seems that Robertson Stadium isn't thought of as a great stadium at all. Does the university have plans to build a new stadium to accomodate a better program in the future?

I've actually looked at pretty decent plans. I'll have to dig up the renderings I saw online.

[Scarface281]

And here are the stadium upgrades I was talking about:

http://admin.scout.com/media/image/42/421868.jpg

http://admin.scout.com/media/image/42/421869.jpg

http://admin.scout.com/media/image/42/421870.jpg

8,000+ more seats would be added to Robertson Stadium. With Ann Richards out of the way (RIP), it's time to kick Baylor out of the Big 12 (and put them in their rightful conference of CUSA), and put UH in the Big 12. :)

[shastarocket]

^ wow! Those look pretty damn good. Can i get the link to those pics?

[junglerules]

It's a race to see which BCS buster can run the table.....UH still has a formidable opponent in TT, while BYU faces the tough MWC opponents (plus a helter skelter Florida State team.) Meanwhile, Boise has nothing in the way.... If all three run the table, I wonder who will finish highest in the rankings? Probably BYU based on current ranking and SOS.

[CaseyH]

UH was just one of the teases on sportscenter.

Very nice! :cool:

[Scarface281]

^ wow! Those look pretty damn good. Can i get the link to those pics?

I got them from a Houston Architecture forum (HAIF), but I'll go back and find them later on. I'm about to leave the house.

Would hate to see your score if u went to oklahoma state.
I don't jinx my teams.

But, yeah, I thought OSU would win this one. Mmm... I'm LOVING THE TASTE OF THIS CROW.

[Refman]

Maybe if the MWC did a major realignment and attempted to collect the 12 best non-BCS teams to create a super-conference (which actually would be kinda cool) that could consistently rival virtually any conference in the BCS, UH would see a greater benefit from leaving CUSA. But that's not a very likely scenario.

I would love to see this be a new potential BCS conference...

UH - Probably ranked next week
BYU - Ranked
UTAH - Ranked
Boise - Ranked
TCU - Ranked
Fresno St - Nearly beat Wisconsin today
Southern Miss
East Carolina
Colorado St - beat Colorado last week
Nevada
Tulsa
Air Force

Basically take the best from each the MWC, WAC and CUSA which would create a number of ranked teams coming togathar that would match almost any conference in the nation. This would elevate UH as they would get a number of high profile matchups that would easily sellout Robertson or even semi fill Reliant along with giving the WAC and MWC more legs to stand on when they fight to be included in the BCS.
You are going to form a conference that spans from Fresno, CA (Fresno State) to Greenville, NC (East Carolina).

There is no way that a conference that spans the entire continent will work. Conferences are spread out enough as is.

[Refman]

8,000+ more seats would be added to Robertson Stadium. With Ann Richards out of the way (RIP), it's time to kick Baylor out of the Big 12 (and put them in their rightful conference of CUSA), and put UH in the Big 12. :)
You will never get Baylor out of the Big XII. Two things:

1. They are improving in pretty much all sports, and
2. The conference needs a private school. Without a private school, they would have to open the conference financial records via public records request. That is why the SEC keep Vandy.

[Scientific1]

Before anything, UH will have to try and lock up Sumlin. If they beat Tech, Sumlin will probably be the most sought after coach in college football. The good thing is, that Sumlin seems like a loyal guy. He probably wouldn't mind being the guy that brings UH out of the shadows and back into the nation spot light. He's a class act, UH has to throw everything at him.

I'm not a Cougar, but any team from Houston is a team of mine.

[DreamRoxCoogFan]

I don't think any coach is safe at UH. If big schools come knocking, Sumlin will be outta here. Briles looked pretty loyal to us back in the day as well. All coaches look really loyal when you give them their big break until they get a big chance. You really think that Sumlin would stay at UH if he was offered the job at a big time school like ND?

Was with a bunch a fellow coogs to watch this game, it was quite the experience. Its one of the few times I've had the chance to watch them on TV. They did practically everything that was needed to win- they played a pretty clean game, got a few breaks, and took advantage where they could. There were a few questionable calls, but the coogs used the lucky bounces when they got them- tip touchdown, int-td, fumble in the 1st led to a TD. Most impressive was the resolve to fight back after the expected OSU rally in the 3rd. Overall, great 'program building' win, but now we gotta beat Tech if we want any lasting respect. anyone can beat anyone else on a given day, but consistency is what sets you apart. Coog fans, please stop using the U-word when it comes to discussing the record, you're asking us to get jinxed.

Aside from all that, if Im OSU, I would be irate about the clock debacle at the end of the game. Dude gets out of bounds with 2:07 remaining, meaning there should be 1 or maybe even 2 plays before the warning. Instead, the clock keeps going until the 1:30 mark, largely because the players were yelling about the clock situation. While they still had a lot of work to do (they didn't even score once in the end), that was a big deal.

[Pete Chilcutt]

Great game. I said earlier in this thread not to underestimate this team! Cant wait till the 26th ill be there you should too! :D

[Fulgore]

Great win Coogs. Didnt shock me one bit that they won the game. More ass kicking on the 26th vs Tech. Hope im wrong but I dont think the AP will give us the props to put us in the top 25. Notre Dame lost to Michigan but because of their name I think they will fall to 25th with Michigan being bumped to 24 and Missouri falling out even though they won today.

[Refman]

Keep this in mind, IF UH can get to a BCS game, that will be a $17M payday. They can certainly use some of that money to lock up Sumlin.

Also, going to a big name school is not the professional nirvana it seems to be. I wonder whether Billy Gillespie would go to Kentucky if he had it to do all over again.

College football doesn't have a two minute warning.

[DreamRoxCoogFan]

Ok well regardless, dude was out of bounds.

[Artesticles]

Well that sucks. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State were supposed to be two top 10 teams that would help out Texas' SOS. Instead both have lost to mid-major schools.

[Pete Chilcutt]

Well thats a good thing if it hurts the Longhorns :)

[Major Malcontent]

Yeah, yeah...lets all cry because the Houston team winning it's most important game in years, maybe since beating Nebraska in the Cotton Bowl on Jan 1, 1977...because it might hurt the beloved Texas Longhorns.

Yer...yeah...tears all dried up...sorry. Good luck in the Holiday Bowl.

[K mf G]

Cowboys 45- Cougars 35 (but it's not inconceivable that score could be reversed).

hell mother effin yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[theimpossibles1]

I wonder the last time Houston was ranked...

[Chopped]

campus better be buzzing on Monday or ill be pissed.

[Mattj]

Art Briles just woke up in the middle of the night and realized he lives/works in Waco. :D Sign Summie to a lifetime deal now with $25 million buyout.

[astros148]

campus better be buzzing on Monday or ill be pissed.
it will brah it will

[DreamRoxCoogFan]

it will brah it will
the cynical side of my says it wont. I've been pretty hardcore about UH athletics for a few years now, and the campus has always dissapointed me in its response to our teams. I hope I'm wrong. the main reasons pep rallies have good attendance is because they do them in the UC at a busy time.

People don't make time for athletics, they'll just 'support' if its convenient- especially most alumni. Can you imagine how strong our school would be if even like 30% of its alums gave a damn? We have a ton of grads in the houston area and should be one of the most popular teams. Instead, Roberston remains empty and the program loses money. Undoubtedly, more wins like this are exactly what we need, but it shouldn't be so hard for people to at least support us. People always say that "offense sells tickets." Well since the Briles era (including last year) we've fielded many entertaining football teams and yet people still don't come out. Cougars want to complain about how Ann screwed us over, but look in the freaking mirror. Sure we got a bad break, but what happened since then? We didn't exactly go out and prove em all wrong, did we?

[/rant]

[Plowman]

Ahh,the morning after.

This a pretty emotional one for me, just like it know it is for you Mal. What do you think? Now that you've gotten that big brain around this bad boy and all that it implies I'd wager you're at a different place than when we talked last night.

Mal,myself,and many others have waited almost 3 decades for UH to announce their return to the glory days when we ruled the SWC. Some of the best memories in my life are going to those Cotton Bowls as a kiddo.

We've endured the breakup of the SWC and the ensuing shaft that happened. Cougar fans have also had to deal with a disconnect between the athletic office and the presidents ear. And I have to admit every time I heard Cougar High,I bristled.


But.....it was a matter of time, not only because of the cyclical nature of life,but because Houston is a seat of power, with a rich football tradition at UH.

We have started keeping some of the local talent at home and recruiting well in the lines. The Houston area is arguably where the greatest concentration of high school football talentin the lan resides. Keep SOME of that talent and we're off.

I'd expect UH to lock up Sumlin to a big deal. Some might say that we can't afford him. I'd say that we can't afford not to get a signature on the dotted line.

We filled up the Astrodome on a regular basis and I assure folks we will fill up a new stadium down the road with a jump to the SEC in the next few years not being farfetched.

Lastly,hats off as usual to Maggard. He came in and did the job just like he did in Miami. Dave's a true pro who cares.

Eat em up !!!!!

[DonnyMost]

Guys, we beat one ranked team.

Stop talking about conference hopping already.

Christ.

It could be because they didn't play on campus for many years, choosing instead to play in the Dome in front of often small crowds (watching usually bad teams). Although the move to Robertson was supposed to lead to better turnout from current students. More than that, it could be that UH was/is a commuter school, with little emphasis on athletics or school spirit, at least when I went there. I lived on campus for 2 years, but how many people go there without ever having that college experience? It's a recipe for school pride that's closer to HCC than A&M.

Hopefully, a successful football team and the biggest win in 25 years will bring the folks back. Like you said, there are lots of alums who have been waiting for a reason to get excited.

You know this win didn't happen overnight, Donny.

[the futants]

You will never get Baylor out of the Big XII. Two things:

2. The conference needs a private school. Without a private school, they would have to open the conference financial records via public records request. That is why the SEC keep Vandy.
This.
Unfortunately for UH, to get into the Big XII would require realignment withIN that conference. Jettison Iowa State and move a team from the South to the North. OU can't go because they wouldn't break up the TX-OU annual game. OSU can't go because they wouldn't break up the annual OU-OSU game. Conference expansion? Unlikely.
As a Texas alum, I'd love to see UH in the mix. I just don't see it happening. I think TCU has a much better shot of getting in, ultimately.

Great win, Coogs! I was rooting for you all the way (despite the fact that the OSU loss utterly obliterates Texas' SOS).
Cheers!

3. Facilities

4. If Kevin Sumlin keeps showing this kind of improvement, he can get a job at Baylor!


(kidding about that last one UH grads!!! i went to law school at UH....and i loved watching you beat the Cowboys yesterday!!)

I'm thrilled, I watched us on all the Eastern Sports and Propaganda Network news shows. Even one win against a top tier team is a big one, however we have to win at home against Tech or all this victory means (in the short term anyway) is we have to win C-USA and we can go into the Liberty Bowl as the #17 team instead of #25 or unranked.

Beat the Cowboys AND the Red Raiders AND the Mississippi State Bulldogs AND all comers in C-USA, and we are a big time team and will play in a big time game. But either way its a great win and a sign of progress.

BTW friend of mine went to the game with his teenage son and said the Cowboys fans were very civil and even congratulated us on the win.

[DonnyMost]

You know this win didn't happen overnight, Donny.

No kidding.

My freshman year was 0-11.

I sat through some real crap football in my day, in a totally empty dump of a stadium, and the truth is that until we get a better facility and regularly sell it out, we aren't going anywhere. Especially the Big XII (which will be never).

[DonnyMost]

As long as UT and A&M are in the Big 12, UH will never be allowed in. Ever.

Thats one thing that I won't complain about. I lived on campus for a few years and I've been to practically every home game over the past 3 and counting seasons. The athletic department has done a good job of advertising the dorms and getting all types of students involved, including commuters. Student turnout at games is great. Anyone (read:Rich Lord types) who says that students don't show up to games clearly doesn't know what they're talking about. The student sections were overflowing for the NW St. game, a meager opponent. They've also stopped selling away sideline tickets because of the expected student turnout for the Tech game. That said- it doesn't translate into campus-wide 'excitement'

[SamCassell]

UH now ranked #21 in the AP (http://espn.go.com/college-football/rankings)! Some nice recognition, well deserved.

[Pete Chilcutt]

Nice to see the Coogs in the top 25. First time since 1991!!

[Fulgore]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so worried about the snobs leaving Notre Dame in the top 25 after their lost. About time we get some respect. Keep it going. We beat Tech in a couple of wks maybe we can get in the top 18.

[Scarface281]

The Tech game is going to be on ESPN2 now.

[Fulgore]

Maybe if Tech beats UT then College Game Day can broadcast from the UH campus on the 26th. Nothing wrong with wishful thinking :cool:

[IROC it]

Cowboys 45- Cougars 35 (but it's not inconceivable that score could be reversed).


WHOA! Just looked over here... my GOOTnesssss!



You da' man! :cool:

[rrj_gamz]

wishful thinking, but would be totally bad ass...I'm still proud of the coogs...can't wait til next week...

If you want to relive the magic, it's on FSN right now.

edit. maybe theyre not, it's like a quick highlight thing.

Wow. What more can be said? Texas Tech is going to be the test. Have to continue the success and recognition they are getting.

[Fulgore]

Coogs favored by 1

[BrownBeast99]

If they win vs Tech, they should move up further a couple spots perhaps to #15 but I have no idea how the system and the polls are going to work out if UH runs the table considering no more high profile teams are left on UH's schedule following next week.

It will be very interesting if UH and Boise both run the table.

[Fulgore]

Once we beat Tech there are 2 games that worry me. @ Miss State and @ Tulsa. I dont think anybody else on our schedule has a chance to beat us at home. We get pass those 2 teams its a 80% chance we run the table IMO.
