    One of the strangest endings ever

    As Sampson said about the T in the postgame, there was cursing, we didn't curse back, and the refs caught the retaliator.

    One of the strangest endings ever

    First, kudos to UConn. We normally out-physical other teams. Out-tough them. Not last night. UConn gave us fits all night. Regarding the "strangest ending ever," the thing that stood out to me was Hurley cursing at Jarreau, getting Jarreau to react, and then Hurley pointing out Jarreau's...

    Conference Re-alignment Bombshell

    Yeah. If only there was an American Conference school in a huge media/recruiting market that has proven it can compete against the ACC in football with recent bowl wins over Pitt and Florida State, and regular season wins over Louisville.

    Kelvin Sampson loves JUCOs

    Houston has a hard time recruiting high school blue chippers. The new $25M practice facility has started to get us back on a level playing field facilities-wise. Next comes the $60M arena renovation, opening in November 2018. But you are right: seven players on the roster came from Juco, and...

    Zones - Glen Miller's Fools Gold

    UConn had a lot more HS All-Americans on its roster than Houston did. Four of the seven guys who played today for UConn were National Top 100 recruits. Plus a legit defensive center. Houston dreams of recruiting that well.

    Um, you are including network games on CBS, ABC, FOX and NBC. Cable games get worse ratings. As I originally (and correctly) said, only 2 games did better all last year in the Houston market "on ESPN." As for blips on the radar, only 19K TV households tuned into the game in the Hartford/New...

    You're kidding, right? For the entire 2015 regular season, only 2 games did better than 6.3 on ESPN in the Houston market. Plus, it was a blowout, and we were playing a school no one in Houston cares about. We freaking knocked it out of the park. There's a reason ESPN is pumping UH every...

    Hold on there, junior. Yes, Houston's graduation rate needs improvement. But it's not 18% either. USNWR uses the 6-year graduation rate. 51% of the 2009 class graduated in 6 years. See the 2015-16 Common Data Set. The graduation rate is climbing. By 2021, the 6-year graduation rate is...

    It is a tin can. The whole stadium is metal except for the brick columns you see and the press box. Everywhere you walk: aluminum. Everywhere you sit: aluminum. Cheap cheap cheap. How else do you explain 45,000 seats at $47M (barely $1000 per seat) when stadiums like UConn, Houston...

    Cougar High is an Aggie chant that began in the 1950s referring to the fact our original campus in the 1920s was a converted high school. We moved to our current location in 1936. Here's a walking tour of just part of the campus: ARWU uses six objective indicators to rank world...

    And there you have it. Proof he knows nothing and his sources are crap. One thing is for certain in all of this. OU will play Oklahoma St and Texas every year. So, putting OU in one division and UT/Ok St in the other will NEVER happen.
