Since I live in DC, its a great week. For those in Houston, not so good a week.

I may have booed when they introduced the honorees and the score of that game.

Glad they were there for SMU's first win in Houston since 2005.

What was so misleading (and nauseating) on TV over and over and over and over was the continuous mention of this 'miraculous' 'incredible' accomplishment of a game, with zero mention of a 99% freshman team opponent, many of whom had no business playing D1 football.

Did they actually memorialize the game itself? Celebrating a ranked college team led by a Heisman trophy winner beating what was in effect a team of freshman walkon players? I think IΓÇÖll go punch a nun in the face and create a national holiday

Yes. Yes, they did. Ware looked like a sweaty mess during his second-half interview on the broadcast.

It's Houston. What else do they have to celebrate other than beating up on a grossly overmanned opponent? Tomorrow they'll still be Houston...

Pretty bizarre for Houston to not wear red when honoring a Heisman winner.

That uniform they had on was gross. They looked like a high school team.
