    If the Rockets were a football team, that's their jersey.

    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... :(

    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.

    New stadium renderings (apparently these are official and from the actual builder).

    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. :p 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.
