we all won a prize- herman left for greener pastures and his replacement probably won't be as good a coach as he was. Might give us another year to get a lot better than cougar high

Houston has some world class Science grad programs that are eons above what we offer. Certainly no longer Cougar High.

A few weeks ago an NPR reporter stated that the whole expansion talk idea was the spur of the moment statement of the Big 12 Commissioner who wanted to deflect reporters when he was unprepared to answer questions about Baylor during a press conference. Pure distraction. Dog and pony show. UT would never allow Houston in their conference and OU and Okie State want their share of the Houston recruiting market.
