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.
I don't jinx my teams. But, yeah, I thought OSU would win this one. Mmm... I'm LOVING THE TASTE OF THIS CROW.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Great game. I said earlier in this thread not to underestimate this team! Cant wait till the 26th ill be there you should too!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Art Briles just woke up in the middle of the night and realized he lives/works in Waco. Sign Summie to a lifetime deal now with $25 million buyout.
