Are the COOGS really headed to the Big East?

   Finally the Cougars have a football invitation. But it’s not to the BIGXII; it’s to the Big East. Where they become a part of a BCS AQ (Automatic Qualifier) conference. With that invitation, comes a whole lot of responsibility. Financial responsibility, time gather up the pride and start sending in those dollars. Talking time is over, Robertson and Hofheinz are now about to be put on as fast a renovation track as possible. Just because you’ve been invited, doesn’t mean you can wait around anymore. But wait, hold everything, Missouri has announced that they will be moving to The SEC. Doesn’t that leave only nine schools in the BIGXII. Somebody has to fill that spot, and soon, very soon. Well folks looks like 2011 is shaping up to put institutions of higher learning in position to have their BCS bowl affiliations contract renewals ducks in a row for the year 2014, or is it 2013. No matter, right now it is about conference survival. It’s who will have the allotted school numbers to keep their AQ status. Yeah, I hear my compardres talk about AAU (American Academic University) school affiliations. That doesn’t amount to a hill of beans. When it comes to the public, football is relevant, period. And now, I’m headed to a cattle call seeking answers and will probably leave with more questions. My head is spinning round and round.

On Saturday, TSU corrected and corrected and won. Beating Alcorn 14-7..

    Going against conference foes is always a difficult task. Especially when you know each others coaching tendencies. It makes for an interesting game. Not until TSU QB, Riko Smalls threw a TD pass to WR, Kirk Fitzhugh, with less than a minute to go in the first half. It looked it would be a very defensive game. But, a smart decision by TSU punter, Francois Ejiofor, giving the Texas Southern Tigers a badly needed 1st down, with . Pretty much put the game away for another TSU win. Below immediate game reaction from TSU Coach Kevin Ramsey, about the win. And post game comments from Alcorn State Braves Football Coach Melvin Spears.

On a bright and windy day UH makes UCLA have a bad trip, a 38-34 loss.

    When Coach Sumlin mentioned at the football luncheon that UCLA would probably be the largest collective they would play this season. There was definitely no doubt, in anybody's mind they were not huge. The UCLA Bruin WR's were snagging passing all day long. Which contributed to UCLA being able to stay stride for stride with UH, scoring wise. The Defense gave, bended, then made a stand when they needed to late in 4th quarter that gave the ball back to the offense to finish the game. A 38-34 UH Cougar win to start the season and give the home opening crowd something to talk about. 

   But the pride of the day belonged to RS-Sr, QB, Case Keenum. Below he talks about his exhilarating game experience.
