re: Exciting time for college football fans in Houston....

A couple of corrections, first the merger is between Conference USA and the MWC, not the WAC. Secondly, unfortunately Houston isn't a big college football town. I live nearby and am always disappointed in how little coverage it gets on the local ESPN radio station. They spend 99% of the time talking about the Houston Texans or Dallas Cowboys on the local afternoon shows. On Saturday mornings, they choose to have a local call in show to get the selling price of your car instead of airing College Gameday. I guess the bright side is that if you want to go to a Rice game, you can have your own section of the stadium. If you go to a Houston Cougars game you can still manage to have your own couple of rows. Unfortunately, it reminds me of my years at Georgia Tech.

A few years ago they hosted Texas at Robertson Stadium in Houston. They put a bunch of temporary bleachers in one of the endzones and sold all of those tickets to Texas fans. About four days before the game, they announced that the bleachers were unsafe and couldn't be used. Deloss Dodds swore he would never play them again, and they haven't.

If UH were to gain admission to Big12 I'm sure the program would return to its former status of SWC Champ. UT and OU wouldn't like that fact.

Any chance the aggy's play UH now? After Baylor, Tech and Texas locked out the aggy's how bout scheduling UH or TCU?
