That’s crazy, man.
As somewhat of a history-buff myself, I’ve tried researching UH’s history on my own time, but like you said, there seems to be limited info (especially pictures) from the early years.
For instance, I’m just learning now that the OG colors were Royal Blue & White.
I don’t come from a College Football background, so I’m unfamiliar with Rudy Vallee’s (U of Maine) Stein Song. I’ll have to look that up.
Please keep sharing any tidbits like this. Some of us are in to this kind of stuff.
I’ve kind of imagined compiling this type of info and putting it together into an edutainment-type YouTube video clip format with graphics, transitions and maybe illustration animation. I feel that would reach a wider audience, especially now where it seems teams from other conferences are curious about us, and current/former students & alumni (or just UH followers in general) seem to be searching for UH-related video content on YT.
