When I read this the word âunderachieveâ, when applied to this yearâs team, really stood out.

Brian Smith still leaves cookies out for Santa Claus so in his mind this makes sense.

Well then we and Texas were the real winners at Texas Tech. I wonder, is there another major college program that has as hostile local media as Houston?

I remember the 1990 game vs Rice in the R&S years where were probably 3TD favorites. The game was ugly, but we won on a last-second Roman Anderson FG after being outplayed most of the game.
We did some good things that year, and nobody got fired.
He lost me at âRespect against USC in the coliseumâ when talking about Rice and Bloomgten
Seriously smith? They lost 66-14, whatâs respectful about that loss LOL
Maybe this article will light a fire under the team, anyone know if Smith goes to the press conferences? Would pay to see an exchange between Dana and him

Smith may be a little over-dramatic, but this piece feels like a harsh critique of the Dana Holgorsen tenure at UH â while, of course, simultaneously being appreciative of the Rice football teamâs efforts. Whether that criticism is justifiable or not is likely dependent on oneâs own view of CDHâs tenure.
Excerpts:
Mike Bloomgrenâs team attacked, kept battling and refused to go away. At the most basic level, Bloomgren did more with less on Saturday and Rice (2-2) fought between the lines like it fully believed in its head coach.
Holgorsen is doing less with more. He coolly teased winning games when he was hired, yet now sounds exhausted by the real-world demands of his job. And the Coogsâ empty stands are mirroring the uneven state of an underachieving program.
Post-victory, Holgorsen said that heâs coached the same way for decades and the current recurring problems are irritating.
âI wasnât pleasant at halftime to coaches or players,â Holgorsen said. âIâm tired of doing it, man, tired of yelling at them. Tired of motivating them. Tired of all of that crap.â
UH is underachieving and fighting itself, then barely returning to .500 under Holgorsen.
Smith and Solomon are only there to drive clicks. They are not real reporters. They are the sports equivalents of gossip columnists / political opinion pieces.
That being said, I will agree with the Coogs underachieving and they look like they have no fire for the most part. The losses on defense are bigger than I thought â I figured the pressure from the DL would help the DBs trying to fill the void of losing two NFL DBs. I figured the influx of talent at WR would help offset the loss of McCaskill. I figured wrong.
So far the Coogs have lost to Texas Tech and a much-improved Kansas. Make one stop at the end of the Tech game and they are 3-1 and not 2-2. UH struggled with Rice so, unless some fundamental shift happens, UH will likely struggle to win every game. However, at this point, none of the losses are horrible. They havenât lost to App State, Middle Tennessee, Southern Miss, etc.
I donât kid myself into thinking this team can win the AAC Championship unless they can clean up their act and somehow find an offensive spark to simply outscore each team on the schedule. Any W should be cherished.

I think thatâs something we have forgotten. The hype around the new guys and top returners, combined with the âWEâRE B12â cockiness seems to have gone to our heads.
Our new guys havenât performed as well as we thought, injuries have been a problem, and weâve basically played to our competition in every game. Some teams can right the ship (last year) and some never figure it out. Weâre a work in progress, not some AAC juggernaut

is he wrong?
Who did overachieve? and who underachieved?
We are not a fun team to watchâŠI will be there thick or thinâŠbut the rest of troops? Really hard for the casual fan and the armchair Coogs to get fired up.

Perhaps. 
What a croc, the scoreboard tells you who the winners are, not some biased media hack.
