This could get really bad. Really quick. As if it isn't already *really* bad.

I'm not crying. You're just an ass. You hide behind cynicism and pessimism, but lets be honest, you just are an ass. Plain and simple. I don't even give a damn if I end up getting banned, but you, sir, are flat out, an asshole. Like, it's telling that you don't even care about reaching out to students. I know nobody's on here because it is a group of about the same 10 people who post on here. None of which are students. Remember Stormchaser? Well, the jackassery afloat here ran him off, too.

Before we start preaching stupidity over OOC, dial it back a little and wait to see what develops. If we have to have 5 home games in 2014, heads need to roll. We're not ULM. Our budget is not terrible.

You guys are just the best, you know? The idiocy spread on here has chased off every student/younger fan, except for me (maybe). Y'all should be proud.

Really sick and tired of your persistent negativity. I understand being critical, but Jesus Christ it's freaking tiring.

Tier A?

Very doubtful. CUSA is not going to add any more for the time being

Georgia Southern didn't outdraw us in attendance this year. Secondly, they must not teach you to spell or how to properly form a sentence at TCU.

We need to start winning, not because I want a good season my senior year, but because if we don't, there will be dire consequences for our program as a whole.

I'm not a troll. Or were you referring to Todge and Cougar Queen?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL so you're on the level of Temple and Cincy? Cool story bro

Rice has a very small, mostly PhD based graduate program in my department, and focuses mainly on undergrad. Reading straight from their site. They focus the majority of their efforts on undergraduates. Says so directly on their website. Maybe you should try to read. And doing well at UH isn't hard, Cougar King goes there after failing out of UNT, like you did. Oh, the Big East plays football? News to me. This conference with less end result payout and possibly losing a TV deal is better than the CUSA? That's why Tulsa told the A1 to screw off, right?

He's my freshman suite mate, that's who he is. Walk on.

Rice is too busy acheiving medical breakthroughs to care about their waiters. See, what's funny is that in my desperation to get back to Houston, I've applied to graduate school at UH and been accepted since Rice is mostly undergraduate. Not because of academics, but solely because it's the only other school in Houston. Building a new stadium? Oh, we already did that. You have had to downgrade plans, cost and capacity too for being too overzealous...getting College Gameday, well, there ya go, here's a cookie...the Big East is worse than every conference other than the Sun Belt and travel costs + setting a new conference + lack of name recognition pull away the extremely minute financial gain y'all may get and you better hope UConn and Cincy stay (not likely) or there's no TV contract, the city hall, that's pretty cool, yeah, congrats...she's a Rice alum...coincidence? Rice alum telling UH grads what to do? Hmmm...she's trying to get re-elected and it's really only a rivalry from the UH side, so not really stunning...) It's not really assinine. Look at recruiting in 2012. Lets run through a few of the best classes of 2012... UT...#2 recruiting class translated to a 8-4 season and a bowl win...with a #2 class you'd expect BCS games...including the epic loss to OU... Michigan...#7 recruiting class...another 8-4 season and a bowl loss... The U...#9 recruiting class...7-5... Auburn...#10 recruiting class...3-9...0-8 SEC...Auburn's wins coming over ULM, NMSU and Alabama A&M... Tennessee...#17 recruiting class...5-7, 1-7 SEC... Washington...#21 recruiting class...7-5...lost bowl... Virginia Tech...#22 recruiting class...6-6...won bowl... I think you get the point so far...recruiting is a shitstorm...let's keep going... Let's look at the bottom... Fresno State...#121 recruiting class...9-4 Utah State...#115 recruiting class...11-2 Ball State...#115 recruiting class...8-5 Middle Tennessee...#111 recruiting class...8-4 ULM...#111 recruiting class...8-5 Kent State...#99 recruiting class...11-3 Louisiana Tech...#96 recruiting class...9-3 San Diego State...#97 recruiting class...9-4 ULL...#94 recruiting class...9-4 NIU...#94 recruiting class...12-2, your BCS busting NIU Bottom dwellers in the NCAA last year? Southern Miss...#70 Colorado...#36 Akron...#118 NMSU...#98 Washington...#21 Auburn...#10 UMass...#115 (not really fair, they are transitional) Idaho...#114 Kansas...#74 Illinois...#64 So, a majority of bottom 10ers were in the top/middle pack of the recruiting standings...hmm... Wrong again. In recruiting, you pick your players THAT FIT INTO YOUR SYSTEM. Just because you have a good recruiting class doesn't mean anything. At all. You have Houston alums in Houston...cool...clearly none in Dallas, considering I got questions if we were playing Hawaii when we played in Denton...and that wasn't my point. Not to mention we brought more fans to Houston and had more enthusiasm in your dead atmosphere game day experience...if you grew up in Houston, you'd realize there's a reason that the majority of Houston college students leave to UT, A&M, Tech, UNT, UTA, UTD, SFA, etc. 150k-200k is not true, you have about 220k TOTAL alumni...http://www.uh.edu/alumni/ ...wrong again...seems a little low, maybe it's registered alumni, either UH should probably work on their wording... We have half of your total alumni in DFW alone...most get jobs in DFW, the rest go and make waves in music, business, film, etc... But, come on, this is a proud alum of UH, I guess we are definitely inferior... /myGL2greatness style rant

Rice is a far better school than SMU. They deserve an elitist school. You guys might as well be a community college, Rice is an elite Ivy South. The Bayou Bowl is a one-way rivalry, Rice students don't really care because they're too busy outperforming you in the job market and telling UH grads what to do. They let their actions speak for their words. The Bayou Bucket this year couldn't have had more than 13K at Reliant Stadium. Truly embarrassing. Weren't even competitive? Well, maybe. We did give you all you could handle, for a half. Recruiting doesn't really matter or UT would be winning national championships ever year. Furthermore, I'm a through and through Houstonian, the name Cougar High is simply because you started as a junior college owned by a school district. These are facts. If you grew up in Houston, you'd understand the name "Cougar High" and why I didn't waste my time attending UH due to the fact I want a job in Houston.

I'm excited but not betting the house. I can see 8-4 or 7-5. Would I bet on it? Probably not.

Peterson? From Wake Forest?

I agree. But what's the point in wasting money on a new stadium when you can't get any fans cos you keep botching hires?

16 wins? LOLOLOLOLOLOLO

I have no problem with the Aston hire. Especially because directly after he went and got a great coach from an ACC team.

This is a cool post and all, but this is common knowledge.

True. Either way, it will be credited to him.

Because McCarney turned around a dead program and built a winner. Good overall records don't mean jack shit in football, ask Wade Phillips. ISU was, literally, irrelevant for 20 years, until Mac came around. He really just had one bad year and resigned because of it, they wouldn't have fired him if he didn't resign. He'd probably still be at Iowa State. Nice try, though. Did you really want Franchione, Mr. 77-0? We couldn't really get anyone much better with history than McCarney. Don't be dense. Franchione can recruit, but that's about it.

Wow, how did I forget Dodge? Wow.

Injuries will be the excuse. How lame.
