Houston receives Big East invite

I wish nothing but the best for the Cougars as they move to the prestigious Big East Conference. This is a truly outstanding opportunity for Houston and I hope that SMU is very soon also extended a well deserved invitation to join this auto-qualifier league.

It may not be the Big Twelve invite that each of these schools coveted but it is certainly an excellent consolation prize. Who knows, this move could be the stepping stone to the Big Twelve like it was for TCU.

Good for the Coogs, maybe this can impact us in a positive way somehow.

If we aren't careful, they might just pass us by.

Another piece of the puzzle. When does the official suicide watch start at ECU?

I wish Houston the best, but the Big East isn't exactly all that "prestigious" in football. It's still a great opportunity for Houston and a huge move since it's an AQ conference, but don't know how "prestigious" it really is. Now, I'm hoping things go well and we get a much-anticipated invitation from CUSA. HOPE for the best! GMG!

I think uh will compete well in that conference with the possibility of a BCS bowl for them. Now they just have to figure out how to get Keenum a 42nd year of eligibility......

I heard that rather than graduate, Keenum is going to retire.

Good for UH, and I also wish them well. SMU's Southland invite should be announced soon.

As a Coog' fan in my youth growing up in the Greater Houston area I also say.............Congrats to all on Cullen Boulevard, Houston, Texas!
