I definitely agree. UH would love to start playing UT, Bay, OU, etc every yr as well. Let's see how it plays out. Congrats on your win against ND.
I can't wait to see more Isaiah Johnson. He's like that perfect combination of Dunbar's height and Ayers' speed (though I think Johnson is even faster than Ayers). Next year I think our 1 and 2 will be Johnson and Dickson. I expect Chance Allen to get more involved in the passing game this Saturday. He was mostly covered during the OU game.
There's so many ways to enjoy a football game. Offense, defense, WR, or zone in on the QB plays. Being a new to this sport I like to focus on the offense lineman.
I listed all 6 games of my UH season tickets on Stubhub for weeks prior to the OU game. During the OU game I went to check my phone and 4 of the 6 games had sold since kickoff...
UCF win over Michigan would be a sweetner for 2 reasons. Although I don't think rank is a factor for us anymore, having Michigan go down is juice all it's own.
Just bought season tickets. I hope I have the same luck as you. I'm certain you have seats in a much nicer section than I do, though.

I know it's been mentioned before (and I don't expect this to happen), but how awesome would it be for the SEC, ACC, or PAC to come in and offer UH a bid to join their conference while the Big12 is going through this dog and pony show.
That isn't possible? I thought the city of Houston didn't care about or watch the University of Houston Cougars....... could it be that people in Houston will watch the Cougars if they are competitive?
I'd honestly prefer the SEC. The teams are close enough geographically and it provides sure stability in an elite conference unlike the big 12.
but...but...UH doesn't bring anything to the table, and doesn't help the conference financially (as some would have you believe). If the Big12 comes to the conclusion that they want to extend a bid to UH to join the conference I would hope that these ratings give us some leverage about not having to take a smaller cut of the pie in order to come on board.
It'd be cool the Pac-whatever offers UH a spot like.. right now. Big 12 is just a big pee-pee game show.
