    His demeanor reminds me of Mike Tomlin from the Steelers, hope we can get similar results!

    I would think that Reliant would love to host this game. With the local Tech alumni in Houston, yall could easily reach 50k for this game.

    But yes, the Cougar band playing a little Rick Ross is solid.

    50K? Not so much.

    The reason this game is getting buzz is because it is a perfect storm.

    UH is ranked for the first time since Desert Storm... and Tech is coming off its best year in the history of its program.

    Traditionally Tech has traveled poorly to Houston, bringing at best 3-5K... now I would expect 7-9K in Robertson, perhaps more at Reliant.

    But any other given scenario, this thing wouldn't be such a major event and likely you could still get a ticket.

    man, i remember the Miami game, Kingler was on the ground for 3/4ths of the game, i was only 13 at the time and it was depressing to see.

    I think Boise State's stadium only holds around 33,000 as well and they have a heck of a home field advantage. Coogs would like that same type of advantage every game not just for Tech.
