Let's see, UH has a better all-time record against Tech, has played A&M to nearly even over the years and just beat Oklahoma State last year. And don't get me started with Baylor. Bring it on, lunchbox

people please do not let your school pride get in the way of the truth. the big 12 is a weak conference and is highly over rated. that was proven this year. ut was only good b/c of vince young. lets also not forget to notice how ut, a&m, or and of the big 12 teams want to play uh after we got rid of that crap coach dana dimmel. big 12 is scared that uh will beat some of their teams. it really wouldn't surprise me though.

Lets "get started with Baylor." BU leads the series and killed Cougar High 47-7 and 52-13 in our last couple visits.

Can you believe it that SMU is now bowl eligible and as of right now leading the Western Conference of the Conference USA. I mean that's unheard of of SMU being a bowl game since the Death Penalty of 20 years ago. Also it took 2 years for him to turn SMU around.

Sam Wyche was notorious for not looking at film on players before drafting. He tended to believe the hype!

So I guess that's going to happen every game. That's why Texas won't play? What about scheduling a game for Reliant? Seriously, the argument doesn't hold. That was seven years ago, and nobody important in the athletics department is even around anymore. I admit it was a stupid move by Houston, but holding out against playing Houston is more like a temper tantrum than it is a legit argument.

Texas stopped playing Houston in 2002 because Houston pulled a bush-league move on UT discovering that a second of their stands were built poorly and were unsafe to use. This section was where some of the visitor's seats were. So a bunch of paying Texas fans were barred from entering the game with their tickets and told to watch the game elsewhere. That's why Texas won't play Houston any more.

Cougar High has fans that talk trash? This is news to me and quite amusing.

I can't understand what the Bengals were thinking in drafting Klingler. He never played well against top competition.  He racked the numbers by beating up on teams that didn't have the players to defend the offense. Did anyone in the organization look at the game tapes?

Well, SMU is now, but when I wrote this, everyone was still caught up in the whole June Jones thing, and Rice was coming off a bad season with a new coach.

I agree that SMU is pretty much the worst football team in C-USA right now, but Rice has also been consistently bad. They just made it to their first bowl game since the 1950s.

[NintendoFanM]

no, SMU is

[brianreading]

You're right. Texas will regularly play Rice these days, one of weakest teams in C-USA, but haven't played Houston since '02.
