Agreed on all…
I think our run game will be even better.
Willie is getting closer to having that team where the opponent does a double-take when the Coogs step off the bus, and come out of the tunnel.
We’re gettin’ some “Hosses”…
Bigger !
Stronger !
Faster !
I agree with a lot of what you’re saying, but I think it’s less of who we are losing in the portal but more about the starters that we lost from this years team! CWF has a history of putting together good teams, so it will be interested to see which of the redshirt freshman and true freshman have a chance to affect next year team. It was also posted on the transfer portal thread that Agnello and one of one or two other players are waiting on a ruling possible eligibility. That could really help as well.
I believe we have a tougher schedule next year. With an overall improved roster I expect us to be an 8-9 win team. For me, the wild card is the DL. If they excel we could win 10, if they are mediocre we could win 7-8.
Go Coogs!
I don’t think the schedule is any tougher.
I think some of the tougher teams “may” be on the back end., but who knows how good those teams will be in October and November?
I do think that works in the Coogs favor though…
…after all, the Coogs were undefeated on the road in 2025, right?
At some point, we become the Conference “Alpha” IMO.
I’m just not buying into the tougher schedule mantra…
I want us to be a better home team next year.
I think we are going to do better than many think in 2026. With that, 2027 will be better.
The ‘new’ system is ideal for us and I am excited.
With that, we need to fix the parking issues as they currently suck. I’m a lifer but after spending an hour in the garage, something needs to be done.
…and I don’t see the justification for Utah being ranked a handful of spots ahead of UH in the way too early polls.
Didn’t they just lose their Head Coach?
They lost their head coach, and several of their players followed him!
Yeah…
I think these “way too early polls” are a mix of 3 things…
Where teams finished the year before.
Media and Conference Bias.
The Blue-blood Mindset.
The worst part is, they are wrapped in the clothing of Star Rankings and NIL $ allocated.
And NONE of these things have much impact on how coaches prepare players or how the players block and tackle.
Of course, everyone says the same thing about having culture, but a minority actually have it.
Indiana had it.
Houston has it.
Culture is a combination of buy-in, continuity, and results.
The last two games have been excellent leaving the garage. Much much better than before.
10-2 at minimum
Right now I am feeling that walking back from 10 would be disappointing. We finally won a game while ranked, third time was the charm, so we can win when we have accolades. We also won a game after a layoff.
I think 10-2 with a legit shot and being talked about in the conference championship circles with tech and byu.
Obviously we will know more today when the schedule is released, but unless Houston gets totally screwed the only probably loss i see on the schedule is Tech. 11-1 isn’t out of the question. 10-2 feels very possible.
Schedule will be released today?
11 am eastern
Perfect
Thank you sir.
Looks like we’ll be playing Friday night for the Big 12 championship next year.
Our schedule is harder next year some possible tough roadies not even including TT, I expect for TT to run the table next year looking at their patsy schedule
Digging into UH’s 2026 football schedule and the difficult road slate:
Seems like we’ll have a tough conference road schedule…including two “high altitude” games.
