Bowl Games

[RGV Pony]

I hear you. I'm saying "big" bowl w a win vs a traditional power while still a member of what was then called a non bcs conference

[LA_Mustang]

WOW! Herman's wife. Well done, sir.

I think Houston is past that point. I'm thinking more like TCU's Rose Bowl.

TCU finished that season ranked #3. I bet UH ends up around 12 or 13.

Where did UCF finish after beating Baylor?

[LA_Mustang]

I believe 6th.

[Stallion]

wasn't Ward out for most of the game UH lost-they definitely deserve a Top 10 ranking

Which doesn't make a lot of sense (I'm agreeing with you where they probably end up, but not with the voters). They should easily be top 10. FSU has been one of the premier teams the last few years.

Thank you Houston for the $500,000 for making the peach bowl

[Stallion]

yeah Ward was hurt very early in 20-17 loss to UCONN-should have gone undefeated

[Pony Boss]

That loss to UConn was fatal. What a letdown, could have been 14-0

[Charleston Pony]

Agree Houston deserves a top 10 ranking. If nothing else, they should replace FSU in that spot. They have clearly established themselves as the team to beat in the AAC and that was a MUCH needed win for conference credibility. Was great to have 8 of our 12 teams go bowling, but winning only 2 games is a pretty poor showing overall. Herman seems happy in Houston for now but I agree with those who say that if Charlie Strong doesn't produce next year in Austin, the whorns will come after him with a truckload of cash.

weird-an Orange Bowl played during late afternoon-has that ever happened since the 1950s

What in the name of Curt Gowdy is going on here?

Aggies might look at him too. We need them to look for others besides Chad

[Stallion]

good to see everybody finally realizing UH's long term potential-I've been saying all they needed was a stadium for decades. UH never was "in the same boat as SMU". They got an adequate stadium now and things are falling in place

This will be UH's 14th Top 20 finish since 1968. They only joined SWC in 1976. So much talent in Greater Houston

[Arkpony]

Gentlemen, we have not only let TCU run off and leave us, but UH now (and we won't talk about Memphis!)

[gostangs]

nobody is running off and leaving us. We will be right behind them. Success follows recruiting.
