I don’t even like the Coogs but I’d consider buying that jersey.

Houston is stoked about them wearing these Saturday night.  I'd even buy one.

The Houston nod to the Oilers is a million times cooler than SMU’s attempt to claim Dallas though.

Every time I glance at those, I think of the team in Park Cities. I understand the connection to the Oilers, but it doesn’t make me think of UH.

SMU is not the University of Dallas. UH is the University of Houston. SMU was grasping. UH is honoring the Oilers because f’ing Bud Adams family won’t let the Texans do it.

I don’t understand why we are concerned about either of these schools or their uniforms. 

I agree. A non issue.

For years they do nothing, now this? 

I didn't know Houston had done anything like this before. Don't really know why it's an issue now. It's a color scheme. I remember there being an issue when ESPN referred Michigan State as the Mean Green due to whatever green jerseys they wore but that's a different issue. I just find this whole color scheme deal a slippery slope. Where does it end? Does it eventually target our helmets and the resemblance with Oregon's helmets?

Probably not. Doesn't Nike do both our uniforms?

Tennessee filed the complaint, saying they want to use the "theme" for their throwbacks. It seems like another case of the Adams family being asses.

Nike does the Titans and Houston Cougars uniforms.

Oh for sure they're being asses. I just think it sets a bad precedent if they succeed. Houston didn't use an oil rig on the helmet or have any visible connection to the NFL franchise, just color scheme. What's even more interesting is Rice also wore an Oilers-inspired uniform this year but have been told nothing from the NFL.

I read the big sticking point is UH put "Houston" on the jerseys. Apparently, using the color scheme AND "Houston" is enough for the NFL to consider it trademark infringement.

If that's true, it's idiotic.

A new-found revenue stream for the NFL and Titans with new "Oiler" merchandise. 

It's all about protecting the trademarks and $$.

I hope UH challenges this and tells the NFL to go kick rocks.

      For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but dammit I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      Earth to GMG

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      At this point in the football cycle, if you fire a coach then you throw away all the recruiting work being done for the following seasons. The portal opens up in just a few days, and most AAC schools build their next years roster in the transfer portal. How hard is it going to be for these programs to build rosters for next season if they dont have a head coach going into the transfer window?

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Remember how much we hated La Tech in the 90’s and ‘2000’s? How we mocked them for stupidly going from an Independent in the 90’s to wasting the mega bucks on travel in the WAC in the 2000’s, and their obnoxious fans coming here talking trash? Then 2012 happened…… https://coachad.com/news/did-louisiana-tech-really-turn-down-a-bowl-game/ They had elevated their program to the point that when they lost the last two conference games of the ‘12 season finishing 9-3, and ending as the nation’s #1 offense, they were so damn upset over it they chose, either directly or indirectly to not play ULM in the Independence Bowl. That announcement was the day I practically fell in love with their school and their program because to me it was the greatest stance on principle and accountability and a standard they felt they had set for themselves and held to. Since then, we’ve been there several times, you and me, and have seen how poor their athletics were funded all those years, which gained even more respect from this college athletics fan. That’s where I am as a fan and alumn of NT right now. Wishing we would set a standard, a high standard and stick with it. Rick
