I have tickets as well. I'll be sitting with my regular Cougar crew. Would like to join the tail gating though. What do we need to bring?

I'll talk to the gang tomorrow. I know we have at least three parking passes so we should have a pretty big tailgate going - probably just bring meat to cook, coolers with beverages for your crew, and maybe some extra chairs!
 
Anyone know the cheapest place to buy a UH flag or vertical banner? I want to get one for the game and the best I've found is around $50....

I am going to the "Fan Attic" store today. Do you want me to buy one? What's your price limit? I went to the College Store.

a) WAY over priced
b) the "Texas" flag one was chinsey and only one sided....

If you're talking about "Sports Fan Attic" at Willowbrook, I was there Friday night and didn't see any Cougar stuff.

I typed in "winner" and found this flag. Maybe more of you should purchase this one instead of wasting money...

Let's just say that after the sirens turn Pete into a horny toad, John Goodman crushes the toad in his hand and then wings it right into a tree...

David,

I went to Fan Attic Memorial city, no U of H flags. I need to try the UC at school, maybe they're cheaper than the college store.

Cool - let me know what you find out. I really want to get a flag or banner since I'll be in the front row. Might make a sign too....

BTW - I sent you a PM.

In baseball, basketball, track and swimming yes. Football? I do a happy dance every time the lose a bowl game. Tony Fitzpatrick wouldn't even let me try OUT for the team. I wouldn't have made it to the squad, but I should have AT LEAST been given the opportunity to fail on my own.

UH c/o 1998

You can go back for a try-out next year!
Let's see if Tony remembers you.

Oh that was mean...FUNNY but mean. I'm 112 years old NOW! I'm sure Fitz remembers me. After he wouldn't let me try out for the team (in violation of NCAA regs) I starting writing a column in the Daily Cougar and gave him a hard time whenever I saw him. Besides I put a curse on UH football to never win a bowl game in my lifetime. The Dread-head curse has been in effect since my graduation. But again it doesn't apply to the basketball, swimming, baseball, soccer, track, golf or softball teams.
Someone else must have put a curse on the basketball team. I don't know what's wrong with THOSE guys!

All you have to do is show up at the try-out.
Nobody says you have to finish it! :devilpig:

I hope there's a 20-yr limitation to your curse. :)

The man refused to time me...for the 40. Like I said, more than likely I probably wasn't going to make the team, but he didn't even give me a chance. I have nothing but contempt for the man. How do you feel about the people who took a whiz on YOUR childhood dreams?

Challenge him to run a 40.
If he doesn't accept the challenge, he loses!

Childhood dream or fantasy?

Well, you did say you'd probably won't cut it.

All kidding aside, we know what he did was wrong.
So let it out and let it go. You'll feel better (I hope)! :specnatz:

My dream was to play college football. I had no delusions of making it to the pros and realistically I probably wouldn't have made it. If I HAD made it I probably would have been a 3rd stringer and wouldn't have made it onto the field unless we were ahead by 100 points. I just wanted to be able to look back at my college experience and tell my children that I was on my college team. That's all.
Had I run the 40 and NOT made it, I would have been able to say I tried and my own ability (or lack thereof) was the reason I didn't make it. I can't say that. Thanks for the suggestion. It's duly noted, but no. I was the one whose dream was pissed on by a guy who played in the USFL for 20 minutes and couldn't cut it in the NFL. It's my grudge and as is my right...I'm keeping it. Thanks for understanding.
 
I'm no preacher, but I think you can put a positive spin on your story to tell the grandchildren!

There's nothing wrong with an old senile guy making a fool of himself for the betterment of the youngs! :)
