Last night as I have done for the past 22 years went to a University of Houston football game. I took my oldest son, Case with me. Obviously we had no idea what we were about to experience. Now I gripe about Dana and the attendance as much as the next guy but there was a bigger lesson being taught last night. Well really there are lessons now that I reflect on it.
Do not gloat or mock the opponent after you score. Be humble.
Do not ever give up, no matter how dark. You are never out of the fight.
I am so grateful that I got to share that lesson with my 13 year old son. He wanted to leave after the 50 yard TD by WVU. Im glad we stuck it out! Iâm feeling the afterglow this morning! Eat âem up!
Yeah the WVU fans around me were fairly calm most of the game. When they scored that last TD they let loose. Singing and mocking the UH fans that started leaving.
After we scored there was a guy who wasnât even in UH gear, and hadnât really cheered the whole game. He was giving that group all kinds of hell.
Bought $50 tickets in the upper section of Coog side and enjoyed the beautiful view of downtown Houston. I have attended all 3 home games and noticed we have incrementally improved in all areas. Our Coogs fought hard and lady luck smiled on us on the Hail Mary - as they say, luck favors the prepared. Sure we have some issues, but what team doesnât? Support our hometown Coogs, they deserve every ounce we can give them for their efforts!
The weather was amazing and my kids had a ton of fun. We had to leave at half time since it was a school night, but for the next week or two I am not going to say anything negative about UH football and just enjoy this win.
Karma can hit within seconds or years later. You never know. After WVU scored all I could think was 2019 Tulane how they scored at the end on a long pass. Then I thought Pittsburgh 2014 which I was at that game. I was thinking yes they are going to let us throw a hail mary because when I saw the penalty I already knew it would put us in a position to get a throw off. I had no idea or real hope it would work though.
Not sure if the QB was the one called for unsportsmanlike penalty. However, that clearly made all the difference. Without that, UH is not in range for the Hail Mary.
My godfather left immediately after the WVU score. But me and my dad were like âmight as well stay for the kickoff and see if a miracle happens.â And by god were we rewarded!!!
Awesome that you were there and enjoyed the game. But just FYI, shop around next time. Some tickets were going for a $1 apparently. Not sure what section
You can say that again. When my alarm for work went off at 6 am I groaned but after thinking about last night I was okay with going to work. Funny how that works.
