No refunds. We're P4 now.

Lol.  (hint:  part of the deal is you have to act like you belong = wins!)

Yes indeed.  It was a frustrating time growing up a Coog.  I was in HS.  We were season ticket holders then.  My dad was on those mid 70s teams.  I loved plenty of those players 2001.  Joffrey Reynolds, Orlando Iglesias, Brandon Middleton, Key Bell, Stanford Route, Rex Hadnot.  I’m sure I’m forgetting some that I loved to watch.  Plenty of electric receivers, just a lazy offensive scheme with slow quarterbacks and bad discipline. Beating Louisville to end the next season was almost as satisfying as seeing Dimel go.  Now it’s probably time to see another Dana go, as much as I hate that it hasn’t worked out. 

My friend's dad in Dallas had a co-worker who's son played OL for Houston in 1975, Kevin Rollwage.  We all went to Texas Stadium to see him and UH (favored) play NT.  They all came away NT and Hayden Fry fans after the 28-0 Mean Green win.

Yep that was the year before he got there.  He was fortunate enough to go to three Cotton Bowls in four years.  Most likely the greatest Cougar years to date.  Couldn’t have been more fortunate to be a part of those teams.  The Houston fandom of my youth has no doubt carried over to my Eagledom.  So many parallels but the SWC has a lot to do with it.  We can talk about our 80s choices but now is now.   I’m doing my best to give where I can and will continue to do so.  Met my wife at NT and it’s my place now.  I just want my family to have Saturdays we can enjoy and be proud of.  Our cloth is an important one.

imagine if they utilized these next two weeks to further work on the 3-3-5 defense. this would totally show me the stubbornness of our DC. i don't mind running the 3-3-5, but also work in the 4-man front.

This. Show multiple looks throughout the game. Bring in a bigger DE and let Mazin loose as a pass rushing once in a while.

Agree but I would like to see bigger at every position.

At least you guys didn't have to get in your knees and blow the conference just to get in.

If we use a four-man front, I am 69% confident we will hold the bye to under 35.

Since we refuse to line up our secondary within 10 yards of opposing receivers, bye week will still pass for 400 yards.

According to SMU fans on Twitter, there's only a P3 now and you're not a part of it.

Only a small fry like you takes what SMU says seriously.

Too late.  Saw the other day that the ACC referenced that they are now a P3 conference.  I am assuming they demoted the Big16.  Just rearranging deck chairs on the way to the P2/P1.

This sucks....I guess I will watch Colorado play today.
