I See Red People

As a very proud alum of the University of Houston, I want to acknowledge the fantastic weekend enjoyed by Cougar athletics.

Take a look...

Women's Basketball: went 2 and 0. Sophomore Courtney Taylor was named Conference USA Player of the Week and freshman Roxana Button was named Conference USA Rookie of the Week.

Men's Basketball: went 2 and 1 including a very good win over Western Kentucky 73 to 64 Saturday afternoon. Plus, junior guard Aubrey Coleman earned C-USA Rookie of the Week honors.

Football: blasted then - #24 Tulsa 70 to 30 Saturday night. Swept the weekly C-USA Honors. Also, Named National Team of the Week.
Sophomore quarterback Case Keenum was named C-USA Offensive Player of the Week.
Sophomore cornerback Loyce Means was named C-USA Defensive Player of the Week.
Freshman wide receiver Tyron Carrier was named C-USA Special Teams Player of the Week.

Women's Country: Freshman Stephanie Aldea, for the first time since 1994, was named one of 38 individuals to qualify for the NCAA Divison I Men's and Women's Cross Country Championships.

Count them up: Seven individual honors and one team honor for UH athletics. Also, realize of those seven individual honors, not one of the athletes is a senior and just one is a junior. Three sophomores and three freshmen!

Let me paraphrase a famous saying, the future of UH athletics is so bright, UH has to wear shades.

I see Red People...Cougar Red People!
