It’s a comfortable 78 degree Saturday morning under partly cloudy skies at TDECU Stadium, and the two-loss Cougars are ready to take the field for their ninth game of the year. It appears, however, that thousands of fans are still stuck in traffic.
Just as the team is playing in fair weather, it appears the Cougars are playing for the fair-weathered.
A virtually empty student section lying in the shadows of a vacant third deck provides a cozy backdrop for the game’s opening kick. Suddenly, it seems that this stadium was built far too large.
It’s been two weeks since Cougar football fans collectively slandered Big 12 Conference officials for opting to not add UH — and others — to their conference.
