Per Coogfans.

[Sewanee Stang]

That should be enough motivation for the Ponies.

[The PonyGrad]

Wow, that's salt in the wounds.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Sonny should keep the team on the sidelines for halftime!

[sbsmith]

Honored for what? That team finished tied for 2nd in the SWC and was banned from playing in a bowl

“Houston's 1989 team will be recognized at halftime of Thursday night's game, including Heisman Trophy winner Andre Ware.”

Run the ducking score up!

Strike first
Strike hard
No mercy

[SmooBoy]

Andre Ware won a fake Heisman against a sub-par SWC. Now we know why they failed to inform the Mustang Band they weren't invited to halftime. Hoping they blare their normal MBand show during the entire presentation.

[Arkpony]

Extremely rude! I hope Sonny used this insult.

[Mustangsabu]

That is going to be tasty. What price hanging 95 on them tonight?

[NTXCoog]

sub-par SWC.

Sub par? 4 teams finished in the top 20, tied with Big 10 for conference with the most ranked teams (noted that more independents were ranked than both)

Fair, it was the Heisman finalists that were meh. Ware had impressive numbers in a blah year of competition:

Our team's players probably have no clue about any of that. Just us old folks. BUT I hope they play with a chip on their shoulders. We are going to have to match their energy. I'm really worried about us reading our own press clippings and coming out flat, Sonny doing A LOT of press even today. This Houston team will whip us if we don't play with our hair on fire.

[Nacho]

Uoh clownish doofuses

[Arkpony]

Play like we hate them and we’re a big underdog!
