The Fiesta Bowl was literally created in Phoenix for ASU and other WAC teams to have a Bowl Game. The WAC had no Bowl tie-ins.

Wins against T-Sips and Aggie in the same year. How sweet it was!

Because this has been decades in the making for UH. The Coog intro music for the football and basketball this year should be Phi Collins In The Air Tonight. We are back in the the Big12 where we should of been all along and finally are.

1976 was my first year at UH. Seems like another lifetime, and in terms of realignment it might as well be.
