I’m pumped
LFG CWF!!!
I was on campus Thursday. Still a long way to go, but the Football Ops Building is taking shape. That will be a game changer for the football program.
Ready to tailgate.
Would we have? We were on probation at the time.
Got me on that!
#89 Byron Simpson
In 2016, #89 long-snapper Byron Simpson would catch a 16 yard pass from Dane Roy on 4th and 13 against Lousiville. He would retire early due to medical conditions.
1989
Heisman, started off the year crushing UNLV 69-0
#88 Stevan Dunbar
1988
UH would defeat Texas at Texas 66-15. Andre Ware would be a game time decision for the 2nd year head coach.
Actually, 66-15. 
Too bad it wasn’t 166-15.
Fixed TY!
He and we were victims of the SI jinx.
#87 Jake Herslow
1987
First year head coach had a tough first year, but would finish his college coaching career at 22-11-1; before accepting the head coaching job for the Houston Oilers. April 1st, 2013, his family would establish the Pardee memorial scholarship fund at the University of Houston. Jack had a successful coaching career at every level, including the NFL, USFL, and the CFL. Jack was a 1st team all American line backer at Texas A&M, and would lead a 16 year career in the NFL, as a linebacker and fullback. Jack is a member of the college football hall of fame.
Talk about tough as nails! 16 years hammering people in the NFL
If CJP had stayed instead of taking the Oiler job, our program would have been in great shape in the early 90s and no way we are kept out of Big 12…tragic…
Just one more reason to not like Bud!

1986
An era comes to close… Coach Bill Yeoman retires after his 25th season with a record of 160-108-8.
The Houston Cougars would finish last in the SWC going 0-8, only defeating Oklahoma State in non-conference play. A humble finish to the legacy career of coach Bill Yeoman. I hope you are teaching angels Xs and Os. I did not get to experience Bill Yeoman, but it sure does seem that he was the definition of “salt of the earth”.

The short lived grey trimmed uniforms
UH would lose a close game 14-21 against TCU, and I wont mention Arkansas. But the Cougars would run the table against the rest of the state of Texas, defeating Baylor, Texas A&M, #6 SMU at Texas Stadium (Cowboys Stadium, Irving, Texas), #3 Texas at Texas, Texas Tech, and Rice.
Despite finishing tied with SMU, and defeating them head to head; the overall record of 10-2 would give SMU the SWC championship. The Bowl committee would be impressed with the Cougars and reward UH with a Cotton Bowl appearance vs #8 Boston College.
I remember Phea picked up a fumble for a game winning td. I was at Texas stadium for that. Then the Cotton bowl where Flutie beat us.
The lack of video of these years is really troubling to me.
Houston and SMU were co champions in 1984 with 6-2 records, but we won the championship because we went to Dallas and beat them head to head, 29-20. We also went to Austin and beat Texas there(again!) 29-15. Houston finished first because they beat SMU and got to go to the Cotton Bowl on New Years…SMU went to the Aloha Bowl in Hawaii…
No way, man UH has played so many legends.
Also i see a collar on that cougar, did we realky have a freaking mountain lion on the sidelines?!
