To me the lifeblood of UH football is tailgating. So tell us one of your favorite tailgates with story or pics. One of my favorite tailgates was before the American Conference game against Temple. We rented a RV and parked the night before and had a great time which included a conference championship.
To me, tailgating at The Rob was the best, and with Red Veselka providing the BBQ, what could have been better ?
Great memories !

If they move football to the spring you might be ok for the tailgating. Right now I think tailgating is the smallest of issues.It is July and we havenât peaked yet. Football should go on with a Spring schedule.

My favorite Rob Tailgate was Coogs v. TTech & Mike Leach â Sat. 26Sepâ09 â Photos below
~9:30 PM Kickoff so fans were âfully fuelledâ
Awesome football with Coogsâ game-winning drive starting late Saturday & ending early Sunday
I setup with my ÎŁÎ bros close to the NW entrance. We got on the ESPN pre-game show. I remember policing the area before we went in â clean as a whistle. When I came out, the folks that didnât have tickets continued partying & left it like the aftermath of an Animal House frat party
Could not beat the Coogfans Tailgates at the Rob â In the early days, $5 bought all the food & beer you could eat & drink! Later it was $10 â still a steal â & weâd moved up to St. Arnoldâs
Good TimesâŠ
Hereâs ESPN filming us pregame

Is Sypert still around? I havenât seen him for a long time.
I obviously missed something. This is news to me. On the other hand, I wonât have to dodge other peopleâs children throwing footballs, listen to what others think is good âmusicâ blaring and set at 11, etc. So there is an upside.
I didnât make it to the Tech game but had to drive down for a test in the testing center early that morning. It was already getting wild. Iâm not sure how a lot of folks made it to kickoff.
The âGolden Ageâ of tailgating at UH was the heyday of coogfans.com tailgates.
VERY fond memories of those!
If only we could bring them back!

If we move to Spring, donât be surprised if some players who wouldâve declared for the draft after this season sit out in the Spring. No time to recover from any injuries. Not sure it affects our team, but could be a factor for other programs.
Agree 100%, the tailgaiting at The Rob blew TDECU away in my book. Realize you have to give up something for progress and The Rob had to be replaced.
