Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 2461863, member: 1526"] Houston getting left behind in conference realignment had zero to do with Guy Lewis' retirement. He retired in 1987. The SWC didn't break up until 1995, and the reason Houston didn't get included in the Big 12 deal was strictly political. It had nothing to do with basketball. What it did have to do with was UT not liking it when they lost fairly often to Houston in football. Houston won the SWC championship in its first season in the league in 1976. During the years both teams were members of the SWC, Texas only has about a .500 record vs. Houston. [/QUOTE]
