You said it. Denial is not a river in....it's a city in Texas where I live. The crazy part is this: Hardly anyone in Houston knows or even cares about UT-Houston going up. Then if they did know, they wouldn't care. I wish it wasn't true, but it is. It's like the Coog fans on here telling everyone that Houston isn't a commuter college anymore....or putting up stats about Houston's new high admission standards etc. these high SAT averages and so on. Almost everyone in my army unit takes classes at Houston, they are older commuters who got in by simply applying, none of them go to games, most follow AtM or UT if they even follow college football at all. It is was it is.
Cheers!

i honestly never noticed billybobby777 was a houston hater. well atleast now that is cleared up

1) communter school is defined by percentage of commuters ..houston has identical housing stats to UT..the only school in texas with a drastically better campus housing percentage is TTech and that is becuase the make it mandetorry to live on campus 1 year
--your counter of "i know commuters" is a stupid one, everyone knows commuters in every college.. the national average for on-campus students for every college is only about 19%..so about 81 percent of all college students dont live on campus and commute
-- my last tailgate non of the people were UH alum, they went to UT, ttech, UNT or A&M. they all just came to game from the buzz or knowing someone coming. but im not stupid enough to use my personal isolated experience to say UT and A&M alums actually all root for houston..

2) you just stated why this is in houstons favor... "Hardly anyone in Houston knows or even cares about UT-Houston going up" most non-UH person dont know about this. the UT people dont care, they arent pushing legislators nor does it have any public support...but in UH circles fear mongering has grown about how this might "hurt your UH degree". they are making pushes to stop this..atleast 20 politician have publicly spoken against it, the governor has sided with us, so has the head of texas board of education
zero politician have come in support of UT-Houston, most UT people dont even know its happening

this isnt the power of UH vs The power of UT...Its the power of UH (with heavy political clout) vs a few optimistic board members at UT

but honestly i never realized you were such a hater

If you don't have full ride scholarship or a rich daddy to pay for everything you're going to look for a local public university. And for 6 million people that is UH

As long as you keep up admission standards and research output then it shouldn't matter if there's a lot of locals.

I don't find billybobby to be a "hater" of anything here. He's an old school smash face football fan. I don't know him personally but I get the vibe that he's currently a Guardsman, Reservist or active duty soldier. He's the living definition of a great college football fan in my opinion.

my solidier friends who are also UH fans, all hate UT & A&M.. i honestly cant say anything nice about them lol..ill say manziel was a great player in college. they will say he was a druggie, i say anything positive about them a negatie response comes out

but i honestly cant tell how you can read that and not think he is a hater.. he makes a post that we are in denial, have no power, we are commuter school and that no one in houston cares about UH, not even the uh alum.. that is literally all the tag line very UH hater use talking about UH. he combined them all into one post

OMG!!! That is awesomely bad.

There's an art to these ambulance chasing commercials. You need to be loud, memorable, and competent. Great on the first two, fails miserably on the last.

Wow.....I was expecting some blow back from my observations about the apathy of the regular Houstonian, and now I'm a hater? I MY SELF have taken classes at Houston!!! Come on! I myself go to games even though I'm a transplant and not a native. Coogs need guys like me.--don't spit on those of us who despite having different alliegences still support the Coogs (the local program) by taking classes, buying Coog gear and buying event tickets. Pesik, I have nothing against you. I'll even meet you at a game this year. Thanks for getting my back Old Tiger, you summed me up well. BTW, I'm in the Army Reserve. I drill monthly and I was specifically talking about my unit here where there are many of us taking classes at Houston.
Cheers!

Calm down, you always interject missing all the points
Houston coach feels confident in his ability as a coach and thinks he can win games regularly
Sellular: so you are saying we are cupcakes (where do you get that from)

Than a fan of another teams saying dramatically incorrect statements about our school and trying to insinuate we are meaningless

Is say those aren't even remotely true, stop being a hater

The reality: if I said USF will never be invited to a real power conference because they are a directional school and no one cares about USF or ever will
If I made a post like that, you could classify as a USF hater

It's like the Coog fans on here telling everyone that Houston isn't a commuter college anymore....or putting up stats about Houston's new high admission standards etc. these high SAT averages and so on. Almost everyone in my army unit takes classes at Houston, they are older commuters who got in by simply applying, none of them go to games, most follow AtM or UT if they even follow college football at all. It is was it is.
Cheers!

i honestly never noticed billybobby777 was a houston hater. well atleast now that is cleared up

1) communter school is defined by percentage of commuters ..houston has identical housing stats to UT..the only school in texas with a drastically better campus housing percentage is TTech and that is becuase the make it mandetorry to live on campus 1 year
--your counter of "i know commuters" is a stupid one, everyone knows commuters in every college.. the national average for on-campus students for every college is only about 19%..so about 81 percent of all college students dont live on campus and commute
-- my last tailgate non of the people were UH alum, they went to UT, ttech, UNT or A&M. they all just came to game from the buzz or knowing someone coming. but im not stupid enough to use my personal isolated experience to say UT and A&M alums actually all root for houston..

2) you just stated why this is in houstons favor... "Hardly anyone in Houston knows or even cares about UT-Houston going up" most non-UH person dont know about this. the UT people dont care, they arent pushing legislators nor does it have any public support...but in UH circles fear mongering has grown about how this might "hurt your UH degree". they are making pushes to stop this..atleast 20 politician have publicly spoken against it, the governor has sided with us, so has the head of texas board of education
zero politician have come in support of UT-Houston, most UT people dont even know its happening

this isnt the power of UH vs The power of UT...Its the power of UH (with heavy political clout) vs a few optimistic board members at UT

but honestly i never realized you were such a hater
I don't find billybobby to be a "hater" of anything here. He's an old school smash face football fan. I don't know him personally but I get the vibe that he's currently a Guardsman, Reservist or active duty soldier. He's the living definition of a great college football fan in my opinion.

none of that doesnt mean you arent a hater...
he can love ecu and be great solider but that doesnt mean he isnt a hater...
my solidier friends who are also UH fans, all hate UT & A&M.. i honestly cant say anything nice about them lol..ill say manziel was a great player in college. they will say he was a druggie, i say anything positive about them a negatie response comes out

but i honestly cant tell how you can read that and not think he is a hater.. he makes a post that we are in denial, have no power, we are commuter school and that no one in houston cares about UH, not even the uh alum.. that is literally all the tag line very UH hater use talking about UH. he combined them all into one post

Wow.....I was expecting some blow back from my observations about the apathy of the regular Houstonian, and now I'm a hater? I MY SELF have taken classes at Houston!!! Come on! I myself go to games even though I'm a transplant and not a native. Coogs need guys like me.--don't spit on those of us who despite having different alliegences still support the Coogs (the local program) by taking classes, buying Coog gear and buying event tickets. Pesik, I have nothing against you. I'll even meet you at a game this year. Thanks for getting my back Old Tiger, you summed me up well. BTW, I'm in the Army Reserve. I drill monthly and I was specifically talking about my unit here where there are many of us taking classes at Houston.
Cheers!

All of that is great and dandy but trying to push this narrative we are a commuter school when we have identical or better housing rates than almost every public school in Texas
Saying no one cares about Houston even the alums, when we have clearly dominated the local media (more then UTand A&M), when our total ratings are THE BEST in the Houston market.
Taking a class at UH and then insulting us on a false narrative is not what we need

I never said alums don't care about Houston. I won't go tit for tat with you. I have to go sell synthetic oil products to local bussiness owners and I'll make them talk about the Coogs today instead of the NFL or how bad UT is this season or AtM's chances today, or about their number 1 obsession: Trump. I'll try to change the narrative with the locals today. Its what I do. One would think you'd be grateful for guys like me....
Cheers!

I think you're a bit overboard on this one. billybobby didn't say the folks in Houston or alums didn't care about the university or program. What he said was that they didn't care about UT-Houston being built.....I see that as big difference.

Quote:Hardly anyone in Houston knows or even cares about UT-Houston going up.

We all have issues, shortcoming, etc; but I think there's a bit of over reacting going on here. I don't think billybobby was as harsh on Houston as you think. Perhaps you'll be able to see that after a cooling off period. :)

This is correct. Pesik gets bent over any little criticism of UH.

RE: Houston needs to file a lawsuit
I'm a two-time UH alum who is employed by The UT System. So I have a pretty balanced perspective.

1. UH was never going to get into the Big XII. Whatever was publicly offered as support was only posturing for appearances. Too many schools recruit the Houston area. No sense elevating the competition unless their financial contribution to the conference is absurdly high. And UH's wouldn't be, in my opinion.

2. That said, I think there are some here who underestimate the political clout UH has in the state legislature. Of the six primary leadership positions in the state house and state senate, only one member has a degree from a major Texas university, and it's UH (Democratic Caucus Chair). Where it counts the most, the chair of the Texas House Committee on Higher Education and vice chair of the Texas Senate Committee on Higher Education are both Coogs. And outspoken ones. Those are two huge allies. Not to mention Senator John Whitmire who - love him or hate him - is a powerful figure. If those three decide to block or red tape UT's proposed Houston campus, it's going to be a nightmare.

3. I do think UT eventually builds a campus on that land. But I don't think it will be a traditional campus in any sense. I can imagine select graduate programs and an extension of some of the UT-owned research labs present in the Texas Medical Center (UTHealth and MD Anderson).

We're all #2 or worse in our state except UConn and they have as many or more issues as the rest of us or ESPN would have taken care of them decades ago. None of us are wart free or we'd be in a big conference already. Why any poster here has a hard time recognizing that fact is a mystery to me.
