…that the Coogs were playing in the National championship game for BOTH Football and Basketball, in the same year.
If the AAC continues to produce 5 ranked teams, in football, we might be closer than we think. The media is already starting to whisper that the AAC may be a stronger football conference than some of the lesser P5s…keep building!
On basketball, we could definitely make it to the Final Four and championship game under the current setup!
I think if our conference keeps building and taking athletics seriously we have built in advantages over half of the P5 schools…minus the TV money.
Why would you go to a West Virginia type school in the middle of nowhere IF AAC schools like Houston can be consistently competitive on the national level, the facilities are comparable, and you have as much of a chance to go pro after your time at UH?
Calling a period of time a golden age never happens when it is actually occurring. Only the passage of time provides the perspective necessary to call a period of time the “golden age”.
The teams of the last few years have been good, no doubt, but they haven’t equaled the teams of the late 60’s or PSJ. Not even close. The 33 wins last year was a huge accomplishment, but the measure of greatness for an NCAA Basketball team is the Big Dance in March. Coach is building something very good but only time will tell if his teams can surpass those teams.
