Texas supporting Houston is a surprise. I've talked to many a Texas fan who says there is no way Coog High is deserving of being close to the same conference as mighty UT. But, history might be repeating itself. For years UT kept Houston out of the SWC. In fact, Houston almost was allowed to join the SEC in the 60's. They were sponsored by Ole Miss. Go back and look at some UH schedules from the late 50's and 60's. They played 4 or so SEC teams a year. Anyway, finally in 1975 UT caved and UH got in the SWC. Is it happening again?

And when they were finally admitted to the SWC, UH won 3 conference titles their first 4 years.

And what evil single SEC school put a gun to the head of the majority of faculty reps and made them NOT let U of H into the SEC?

Were they scared, too?
