What? :laughing:

You’re mistaken, but this is a stupid discussion anyway. Trying to take an individual experience or decision and extrapolate it into “this was a school of last resort” requires a level of self-loathing that’s just super-weird.

I knew and went to class with part-timers, long-timers, old-timers and a collection of “regular” students that did the normal college thing. None of them came to UH because they had no other school choices. Choosing the best fit, regardless of the reasons, isn’t anything like coming to UH for lack of any other options.

The fact that you got defensive when I pointed out how your generation didn’t attend games in the SWC or send their kids to UH shows that I am right.

Your generation made it hard for my generation but we will succeed where yours failed.

I have a neighbor that attended UH in the 70s and worked full time at UPS until he got promoted and quit college all together, he ran several companies before he retired. I had a co-worker that took a construction internship into a full time position 2 years before he graduated, had to really work his schedule to actually graduate, but he already had a full time job. Part of the problem of UH is some of our students get opportunities you don’t get at other “traditional schools”, job opportunities.

Do either of them support UH today? Do they donate or at least show up to games?

Have they at least encouraged their children or grandchildren to be Coogs?

ROI students? Where have we heard that before?

This is right

Send that to the tech AD saying it was their home game lol

Your right

What are you talking about? Look, we all want UH to have more 2nd, 3rd, and so on generation students. At the present, most students, I assume, are first generation. And that’s fine. Hell, I am first generation myself. If I ever have a kid or two, you bet your a** I’ll strongly push them to attend UH.

EXACTLY why our generations will be the greatest this school has seen

In the 60s and 70s, there were a few crowds in the teens too, pre-PSL, but 30k and 40k crowds weren’t all that rare. Attendance could have been better, yes but as an effort to increase it, a PSL was an extremely and shockingly stupid move. Yeoman came unglued, I heard.

Finally an older Coog who doesn’t get offended when the old days are criticized.

Both of my Daughters attended Tx Tech, as did their Husbands.

Their children’s College choices?

U. of Arizona, N. Arizona University, Texas St., UT.

Perhaps some do not realize that one’s children do not want to go where you attended.

Of course Robert. What I am saying is, I would strongly encourage them to attend UH. Ultimately it’ll be their choice.

The old guy is pro-UH but anti-college as a whole, the other guy used to attend games with me when we worked together, until he moved to Colorado for work and I lost touch.

Sell them here. I do it when I can’t make a game. It’s easy to verify that the buyer is a genuine Coog. Then it’s just a matter of Venmo and transferring the tickets to the buyers cell phone. No StubHub nonsense and expense, no stealth pecker tech fans.

This would make me laugh if it didn’t show how college has failed you. :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

Your generation should have done better. Out with Boomers and Gen X, in with Millennials and Gen Z.

I don’t care what generation you identify with, but you’re dodging around and flinging crap like a Tech fan since you got called out for characterizing UH as a school of last resort. So we can move on from that one.

Maybe someday you’ll approach the level of support my classmates and I have given to the school and athletics, but at this point, you’re just yapping. Newer fans are fortunate to be reaping the benefits of the school finally supporting athletics and making investments in the future. I hope it pays off.

Whatever the case, what upside do you see in lobbing grenades at other UH fans? How is that supporting the school? It’s pretty stupid.
