Off Topic: Go Coogs in Public

Cougar Football

Does anyone else say Go Coogs and throw up the hand sign when you see others around town wearing UH apparel or is it just me? I thought it was a thing, but the majority of the time I get an awkward smile or stare back. Where’s the UH spirit :joy:?

I do it too, but admittedly, I’ve been caught off guard when folks do it to me. I wear cougar gear so often I’m not even aware I have it on so sometimes it’s like where did that come from

During the final four, received many Go Houston’s or comments from especially younger folks that u was surprised about. I always say something to others, but I get some weird looks sometimes.

I like to mix it up with “Eat ‘em up!!!” or a “whose house?”

Absolutely. I have UH license plates and people flash me the Coogs hand sign all the time.

Most of the time people just stare blankly at me when I give the cougar sign and say go coogs. When I say “I like your hat” or something like that I get a better response.

I never do it because when you’ve reached my level of refinement any hand signs are considered common.

I was in the Costco parking lot yesterday trying to load a pellet grill into my truck and a guy came over and helped me because I had on UH hat and shirt. And I always say go Coogs and if given the chance I say I’m Cougarrick hoping I run in to one of yall.

I am proud too be a Coog and say “GoCoogs” a lot. What makes me really happy though is when people who are still at U of H stop and tell me that they go there and start conversations about U of H. The future is bright for our school.

I get about 50/50 responses to awkward stares. I will say I have better luck with people 60+ years old, or 25 and under.

This is what happens to me. I’ll get a Go Coogs and won’t process what the person said to me after they already walked by.
