And there are more than a few suspect defenses on Tech's conference schedule.

A&M in particular has been horrid, though they also played better tonight against UAB.

A&M's D was horrid for 2 quarters against Utah St

That was the first as they tried to figure out the new looks USU showed and the 4th when they rotated in some backups. Other than that, they haven’t been that bad. They dominated New Mexico, shut USU down for the other 2 quarters, and held UAB’s QB in check all night. The only big play was a long TD run with the second stringers in on both sides.

Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t the Wrecking Crew just yet. We’re relying on lots of freshmen who will eventually make rookie mistakes and our depth leaves something to be desired. But Von Miller is a beast and I think they’re on the right track (finally).

The offense, meanwhile, is incredible. It should be a shootout next week at Jerry World.

except the 3rd game, but if Holland can pitch anywhere close to the way he did last time there, we definately have a chance. It may be small, but thats all you can ask for right now

From Houston's website.

Cougar Hand Sign
In Texas, all of the major universities have adopted a hand sign which signifies to all other Texans where your loyalties lie. The Cougar Hand Sign is no different. Although the original hand sign was the “V” for Victory until 1965, events conspired and a new hand sign was adopted. The inaugural football game between University of Houston and University of Texas during the 1953 campaign witnessed the birth of a blood rivalry between the state’s two largest universities at that time. However, it also led to the adoption of another Cougar Hand Sign. During her transport from Houston to Austin, one of the fingers on Shasta’s paw was severed when the cage door was closed. As the University of Texas partisans and players caught wind of the accident, they mimicked the animal by bending their thumb over the ring finger against their palm. This gesture implied that the Cougars were invalids. The Cougars would go on to lose the game 28-7.

The cougar faithful, still mindful of the stinging defeat suffered 15 years earlier, never forgot the taunting that they received. The next time the two teams faced off (1968… a whole 15 years later), UH tied UT 20-20. At that point, the students thought there might be a bit of magic in that sign, and the hand sign was adopted replacing the “V”.

In 1976, the Cougars first football season in the Southwest Conference, the Coogs & Horns met for the third time ever. The Coogs put a beating on the Longhorns that they have yet to forget 30-0 (a.k.a.the “Dad’s Day Massacre”) in front of the largest crowd to assemble in Memorial Stadium at that time. That victory ended the Longhorns famed winning streak, and the embarrassment also signaled the end of legendary UT Coach Darryl K. Royal’s career. After that victory, the Cougar Hand Sign became firmly entrenched.

*Important Note: Only one hand is to be held aloft when making the Cougar Hand Sign.

Hindsight’s 20/20, but my thought is that on the road, as an underdog, you take your shot to step on the throat. They took their shot, missed, and lost.
