    I was noting it as a positive, the attendance kinda sucks right now.

    Ha.

    I will say this much, the majority of the passive UH fans I meet are usually Aggies.

    They have a soft spot for us, for some reason.

    It's really sad that you guys want to hire Gillispie. Are you really that desperate?

    Give me a train wreck that wins over an unknown any day of the week.

    With BCG, at least you know what you're getting.

    And with Mack Rhoades, we at least have some kind of pre-existing relationship there.

    I like that idea, but I'd rather watch them play football at Rice than Reliant. The Miami game and the Bayou Bucket at Reliant were a horrible atmosphere. I know it would only be for one season, but still.

    Count me in that group.

    Of course my Dad is a UH alum and I went to law school there. My two favorite teams:
    1. A&M
    2. UH

    A lot of people's parents are UH alumni. It seems to be the first generation college of choice around here.

    When did you graduate law school btw?

    I graduated law school in 2000. Hard to believe it was a decade ago. Ugh.

    It may have bit him in the ass at Kentucky, but he got out of UTEP and A&M without a buyout...

    I admittedly haven't paid much attention to BCG's career.

    Can you explain?

    He literally "signed" a contract with TAMU then left 3 days later for UK when everyone else dropped out of the race. With no strings attached. He is a GOD.

    I know about that, but they're making it sound like something else weird went down at UTEP and UK.

    He NEVER signed his contract at UTEP...

    Edit: Of course, that's not stopping a ton of folks from wanting him to come back now that Barbee's gone.

    Good luck to you.

    I would be happy to sit down with you over a beer or a sandwich and tell you what to really expect from law school.
