USC (and UCLA) had to threaten to leave the Pac 8 if the UW didn't withdraw their veto of the Arizona schools. UA had the academics but not the quality athletics.

We ate some Mexican food at a restaurant in a suburb on the west side of Houston and they made the most incredible guacamole right in front of you at the table.
Not to mention, Boise and Houston are probably about the best non con opponents we can get to Martin Stadium. If you're going to do a Seattle game, the only reason I could see doing it is if it draws an opponent you wouldn't get otherwise. But I agree, just don't do it. The team played like such garbage in those games, it just wasn't a good showcase and isn't worth sacrificing a potential win.
The Home and Home with Houston has been scheduled for awhile now. That is nothing new.
Actually moving the game to NRG makes it less of a full home game for UH. They rarely play there. Their home stadium is on campus.
So this move for WSU for a series that was going to be played anyway.
lolololol there is no chance this game draws 80,000 people. It will be lucky to crack 45k
Well we could be like the dogs and give tickets away just to get a large crowd.
Or Groupon works well for them also.
The fact that it’s been scheduled for awhile doesn’t change the fact that we should be as risk-averse as possible going forward. And whether it’s a home game or not for the AAC team matters zero - even Seattle is not a home game for us. Stay away from P5/road games.
Downtown Houston has come a LONG way. I was there this summer for a conference; had not spent any time there in 30 years; and was impressed. I remember what it used to be. And the people were just as nice as they have always been...not sure why, but the more miserable the weather in a particular city, usually the nicer the people are.
And of course, when in Houston there is Real BBQ. Not that imposter west coast stuff. The real thing. A trip to Houston for a game would be incomplete without a good dose of BBQ.

We should schedule Memphis if that’s a concern.
The food is better at Vanderbilt or Tulane too.
Andre Ware got pulled in that game. His backup was the one that made it closeLooking forward to some bull-ridin @ Gilley’s and watchin Rosie make Andre Ware look like a scrub.

I have a cousin that went to SMU, told her I was thinking of going to the WSU vs Houston game.
She said don't bother, their tailgating/football culture/environment sucks.... And their fans are a$$hats.
Probably some bias in there, but for what its worth...

The only thing I will guarantee you is your cousin never watched a game where SMU played UH at NRG stadium. All of their games would have been at the campus stadium. NRG is an NFL stadium and a totally different deal. They actually make the AdvoCare Texas Kick Off game sort of like a bowl game . Attached is what they had for fans last year > (Ole Miss played Texas Tech )

This is pretty cool -- I'm going to be there with some family. Was going even if it was at Houston's stadium.
