UH will probably end up in the Texas Bowl if they don't make the Liberty Bowl regardless.

I am thinking UH and A&M will be the matchup. Should sell alot of seats, atleast on the Aggie side.

Hopefully the Coogs will not be in the Texas Bowl. I would much rather be in the Liberty Bowl again.

I agree with you. I just think that If they don't make the Liberty Bowl, they may decide to go to the Texas Bowl just to be in Houston even if they end up ranking higher than #5. But I hope they go to the Liberty Bowl.

Doesn't matter to me... I'll either be there hanging out with everyone else, or I will be selling the tickets... just depends on what teams make it here...

Current rankings show UH going to the Liberty Bowl against Kentucky. Texas bowl projection is Colorado vs UCF

According to College Football News....

New Projection is Colorado vs Tulsa for the Texas Bowl.

UH is on track for the Liberty Bowl. Go Coogs!

[TxDavid]

Just posting another update for those interested. After the loss to Tulsa, UH will be in the Texas Bowl unless Rice can beat Tulsa this weekend.

We're there UNLESS it's A&M v. U of H, then I might have to test the market value of the tickets (hey, I have a wedding to pay for!).

We have 4 in D, Jeff and Dean bought theirs, and Adam and I's in H.

If we go we'll use 4/8. Already made offers to a few people (if we dcide to go instead of scalp).

Thank God you brought it up BEFORE you introduced me to that Buckeye drink...

I'm skeptical that A&M would be there. They are bowl eligible but I'd imagine other bowls may want them. That said - anything is possible. I'm still hoping the Coogs go to the Liberty Bowl though....

It's all about bowl affiliations. I think the Texas Bowl includes affiliations with The Big 12, Big East and Conference USA. So depending on where they finish in their respective conferences is how they determine who will be invited. That match-up would be pretty sexy for the Bowl promoters and I think other bowls may shy away from A&M because of the 'Farewell to Fran' tour.. UH missed their opportunity to go back to the Liberty Bowl after that Tulsa fiasco...

Don't get me wrong - I'm not counting them out. It would be huge attendance wise for the Bowl. I think it's more likely they'll be at the Sun Bowl or Independence Bowl or something.

And the Coogs aren't out of it. Rice needs to somehow beat Tulsa this weekend. If that happens and the Coogs win, they've got a shot.

LMAO... I dont really know how to respond to that. I mean I hear what you are saying, but I'm laughing too hard right now...

[gwallaia]

I would not be shocked if Rice beats Tulsa. Rice throws the ball down field, Tulsa is miserable at defending the long ball. UH has more of a lateral passing game.

Plus, Rice wants to hang one on Graham.

Ah-ha... Good point!! I forgot about that....

I wish the Coogs were playing TSU at night, so we could all go to Rice Stadium and cheer them on, errrrr cheer against Tulsa.

[gwallaia]

If Tulsa beats Rice, expect Dave Maggard to come on the field immediately after the Cougar game and announce that we have accepted an invitation to play in the Texas Bowl.

Coogs in Texas Bowl.
