Helllloooooo, Houston! Woke up this morning to the birds chirping, the sun shining, and a sudden, overwhelming appreciation for living in this beautiful city and state. What a wonderful day to be a Texan, am I right?

Houston is full of some of the most passionate, hardworking, and wonderfully chaotic people, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

So let's channel some of that hometown love into cheering on our Coogs! UH faces Cincinnati at TDECU Stadium on Saturday, November 7, and we've got a pair of tickets up for grabs. Enter our giveaway and go make some noise for Houston!
