Houston Cougars Football Thread

step in the right direction I guess

Hopefully this means we're going back to the 3-4.

So, they kinda half-assed it last year(putting the coaching staff together)? Safe to say?

Didn't know he was even contemplating leaving for the draft, but Charles Sims is coming back next year.

 

Sweet, another year to underutilize our best player!

 

Cougars to resemble the 2010 Texans defense.

The good thing is, the defense can't get much worse than it already is.

 

QFT! I'm still waiting for Levine to get fired!!!! he has no business being a HC

 

The new assistants will be a huge improvement.

OC = great hire

OL = good hire

DC = as long as he runs a 4-3 we'll be ok

This is where Levine fell on his face. I'm guessing we took away Levine's hiring power after last year's debacle.

Is something big happening today?

 

No. Just some "insider" jokers on a message board making noise.

 

will they be raising student fees again due to construction cost increases in the stadium?

 

What increases?

The students voted to finance the remaining funding gap, I'm pretty sure that meant a static amount.

As far as I know, the estimated cost is still steady at 105MM.

 

New look helmets...I like the white and the cougar on the red helmet, but the chrome needs to go.

If the Cougar logo on the rightside helmet was white instead of silver, I'd be in love.

I like the white out, but the matte finish looks ugly. Needs moar gloss like the UT stormtrooper look.

 

Who is this number 13?

 

If not sarcasm, represents the year 2013
