I was planning on coming down for the beatdown this weekend, but had to cancel. I expect the Miners to lose by at least four touchdowns...

Not much details but Hayden taken to the hospital after being injured in practice. http://blog.chron.com/cougars/2012/11/uh-cornerback-hayden-injured-in-practice/ Sims also doubtful vs Tulsa with an injury.
Some random posts on coogfans said it was a ruptured spleen, had surgery last night and is supposedly recovering. edit: Apparently it was not his spleen. Something regarding his heart. UH is supposed to release an official statement regarding this soon.
Mark Berman @MarkBermanFox26 [rquoter]UH coach Tony Levine on CB D.J. Hayden who is in hospital after being injured in practice Tues."I can confirm that he is done 4 the season." More from Tony Levine on D.J. Hayden who is in hospital. "Our thoughts & prayers r w/him & his family." Levine/school can't release details.[/rquoter]
New stadium renderings (apparently these are official and from the actual builder). Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Not sure how I feel about this. It looks really unorthodox, kind of like a soccer stadium. Unique/different is a sword that cuts both ways. Football isn't a sport that lends itself to innovation as much as tradition, it seems. So I think brick and mortar might go over a little better with the public. You can tell the BBVA guys had a hand in this design.
Scary stuff. Hope he makes a full & healthy recovery. Nearly fatal injury for Hayden ____________________ Stadium is OK I guess. Could be a hell of a lot worse. I agree brick might go over better and look better.
Will there be enough campus parking for a full house on a Thursday game? That might have been the one positive of having a smaller stadium.
Anyone see Levine's press conference? The man is severely depressed. Guess he is bracing himself for the beat down from Tulsa. He really is a nice guy, but he is obviously discouraged.
I think it looks sharp, but will there be any fans in it? The program needs a boost. Levine looks like he is toast.
