The 20,000 capacity soccer stadium was only about half full for a UH football game that started at 11:00 AM.
In spite of the light turnout, the involved Cougar student body was there in full.
And Shasta the Cougar mascot prowled the sidelines.
… as did Shasta’s girl friend, Missy Shasta, student spirit groups, and an assortment of beautiful cheerleader/acrobats.
The Coogs came ready …
… and the UH defense played hard, forcing 4 fumble recoveries to pace their national leadership in positive turnover ratios.
A beautiful UH cheerleader appealed to Cougar fans to get their voices into the game behind UH – and we all gave it our best shout!
A great day was enjoyed by UH Cougars everywhere.
It was a day in which our defense reminded us that Wade Phillips is one of us.
It was a day in which UH alums again were reminded by all the spirited young people around us of the “can do” heart that beats within us all.
It was a day in which one step upon the old UH campus would have reminded us all of where we each started our separate, but joined journeys in life.
Have nice Sunday, everybody. – And “Eat ‘Em Up, Cougars!”
