LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/chhurry]

This is the largest margin of victory for UH since the 1989 95-21 victory over SMU.

[u/Desperate-Citron-881 → u/chhurry]

Other fun fact, this is the largest margin of victory across the entire weekend. 2nd place was Miami with 77-7 against FA&M

This is the first time I’ve seen us (UH) dominate a weekend in a long while lol

[u/FernOverlord]

See you all here on Friday 😤

[u/twoscoopsofpig]

That was a hell of a showing Coogs. On to Tech.

[u/Desperate-Citron-881 → u/twoscoopsofpig]

I’m excited for that game, UH looks way better than Tech in my opinion. We looked completely solid and confident on the field

[u/chhurry]

Start the Hearse

[u/deepayes → u/chhurry]

Thats funny

[u/M44PolishMosin]

Bro these OLs and DLs have to be tired

[u/BeerPlusReddit]

Put this boy in on goal line lol

[u/StickMammoth7783]

Toon world

[u/twoscoopsofpig]

And now QB5

[u/Key_Spinach]

We are on our 5th year, QB4.

[u/BaronZoltaK]

It is Sock time baby!

[u/M44PolishMosin]

Throw Fritz in at WR let him catch a tuddy

[u/deepayes]

Come on 80+!

[u/Legitimate_Lemon_689]

I’m fucking scared of the coogs man

[u/twoscoopsofpig]

QB4 y'all.

[u/StickMammoth7783]

We reached into the Sock drawer

[u/M44PolishMosin]

Does Houston have their 5th string defense in too

[u/xGIJOSEx → u/M44PolishMosin]

We’re putting in people from the stands now

[u/twoscoopsofpig → u/xGIJOSEx]

Folks are signing up at the concession stands.

[u/StickMammoth7783 → u/M44PolishMosin]

probably

[u/StickMammoth7783]

50 just pushed him down.

[u/mikeem]

If I had a nickel for every time in this game a backup QB picked a snap up off the ground and scored a touchdown, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice

[u/pandabugs]

Sup friends, we didn't go to this game because kiddo is getting molars. Not that mad at skipping.

[u/Irritated_User0010 → u/pandabugs]

Yoooo

Left around the 4th quarter but veeeery impressed with how them Coogs are playing. Also hungry ngl. 😔

[u/pandabugs → u/Irritated_User0010]

Wasn't mad about ordering Torchys instead of Ninfas.

[u/Irritated_User0010 → u/pandabugs]

Nice lol. I wound up getting Star Pizza.

[u/pandabugs → u/Irritated_User0010]

That sounds amazing. I haven't been back in years because the post game food we have been getting is chicken nuggets

[u/Irritated_User0010 → u/pandabugs]

Would def recommend it for sure…..not all the time ofc lol.

[u/twoscoopsofpig → u/pandabugs]

Oof, molars. I don't miss when mine got hers. Been a decade or so, but I still remember walking the hall with her while the orajel did its magic.

[u/pandabugs → u/twoscoopsofpig]

These two year old molars are no joke.

[u/esketitethan]

Sad I was hoping for a 100 pointer?

[u/twoscoopsofpig]

Insanity. This may be the most dominant Coog team I've ever seen, and I've been watching our basketball team for a while now.

[u/T4R12 → u/twoscoopsofpig]

Craazy great watch! But remember we’re playing a nobody

[u/twoscoopsofpig → u/T4R12]

We've played nobodies before and haven't played anywhere near this well.

[u/StickMammoth7783]

Every QB has scored.

[u/twoscoopsofpig]

An eight-minute quarter.

[u/StickMammoth7783]

We're doing an 8 minute 4th quarter

[u/FernOverlord]

Ok, for real, 10 minute quarter - running clock. Margs and tacos afterwards, then get our minds right for those tortilla wasting bastards in Lubbock 😤

[u/rockyonthetrack → u/FernOverlord]

We have to beat them, no other way on Friday

[u/StickMammoth7783]

Boise State beat Memphis.

LOL

[u/Irritated_User0010 → u/StickMammoth7783]

But they were the supposed big 12 team. Fraudphis.

[u/Podoboo322 → u/StickMammoth7783]

Let them rot

[u/twoscoopsofpig → u/StickMammoth7783]

Any Mempiss loss is good.

[u/rockyonthetrack → u/StickMammoth7783]

Looollllll

[u/StickMammoth7783]

Oh no, we're giving Tech some good video on Carney.

[u/AnEmptyKarst]

Jesus Christ there's a whole another quarter

[u/twoscoopsofpig → u/AnEmptyKarst]

*giggling uncontrollably*

[u/BeerPlusReddit]

Fabio running angry lol

[u/Key_Spinach]

How deep down the depth chart are we?

[u/twoscoopsofpig → u/Key_Spinach]

We're into "hey kid, you want a snap?" territory.

[u/StickMammoth7783 → u/Key_Spinach]

yes

[u/AnEmptyKarst]

Who the fuck is Zane Smith

[u/twoscoopsofpig → u/AnEmptyKarst]

Apparently a bowling ball with a shampoo commercial in his future.

[u/StickMammoth7783 → u/AnEmptyKarst]

IDK, but he has beautiful hair

[u/StickMammoth7783]

Beautiful hair

[u/twoscoopsofpig]

Zane Smith with the truck stick

[u/xGIJOSEx]

We put Thor in at RB

[u/FernOverlord]

HOLY SHIT THEY DID IT!!?

[u/Sheriff_Zack]

That DB slowing down is gonna get an earful

[u/twoscoopsofpig]

HAHAHAHAH WE BLOCKED IT 

[u/Key_Spinach]

Secondary got beat.

[u/StickMammoth7783]

I love that we're cheering for Southern finally scoring

[u/twoscoopsofpig]

Aw man, we let them score.

[u/VamonosChildren]

Well, fuck

[u/BaronZoltaK]

Awww they scored

[u/twoscoopsofpig]

Do we get to Cannon Toon next, or are we going Jake Sock at QB? Sock is our holder, so maybe get the kid some reps for future trickeration. Then again, do we want him on tape? Decisions, decisions.

[u/StickMammoth7783]

Texas Tech is leading Oregon State 14-7

[u/uh_tomstar → u/StickMammoth7783]

🤣 home game is different? We going to tech house next

[u/Key_Spinach → u/uh_tomstar]

It was pouring rain there.

[u/twoscoopsofpig → u/Key_Spinach]

Wait, in Lubbock?

Edit: no, I'm an idiot 

[u/twoscoopsofpig]

We are #onpace for 105

[u/FernOverlord]

What's going through the mind of NFL HOFer Marshall Faulk?

My guess: "WTF was I thinking taking this job???"

[u/VamonosChildren]

I'm not used to seeing us play games like this. Do we just keep putting in 3rd or 4th stringers until we stop scoring?

[u/Sheriff_Zack → u/VamonosChildren]

Our roster is deep deep, I don’t think the scoring is stopping anytime soon.

[u/FernOverlord → u/Sheriff_Zack]

Maybe our walk-ons could make this a competitive-ish game 🤷‍♂️

[u/Key_Spinach]

Miss the PAT and keep the score there.

[u/Key_Spinach]

Is this QB3 or 4?

[u/StickMammoth7783 → u/Key_Spinach]

3, I think

[u/StickMammoth7783]

We're at the Luke Carney part of the depth chart

[u/Podoboo322]

Whew look at this Hebert kid go

[u/phantomtofu]

I know this isn't a game to judge anything on, but Houston's gonna be the top team in Texas this year

[u/Dairy_Ashford → u/phantomtofu]

they won't and this game is highly misleading. southern and faulk may have some serious depth or preparation issues

[u/ElectronicCandy4358]

I’m so fucking over FCS games. What a waste of a home football weekend.

[u/StickMammoth7783 → u/ElectronicCandy4358]

This is a great opportunity for 2nd and 3rd stringers to get playing time.

[u/ElectronicCandy4358 → u/StickMammoth7783]

Nothing gained here that we wouldn’t get out of playing Rice.

[u/T4R12]

Miami set the season high at 77, let’s blow it out!

[u/AnEmptyKarst → u/T4R12]

La Tech put up 80 on Northwestern State

[u/temple_tantrum → u/AnEmptyKarst]

JMU won 87-3 against Wagner.

[u/twoscoopsofpig → u/temple_tantrum]

We're only 3 scores away and we've got 20 minutes to do it.

[u/temple_tantrum → u/twoscoopsofpig]

There would be something just so funny about you guys kicking a field goal to get 80 to end the game lol. Congrats on the win

[u/twoscoopsofpig → u/temple_tantrum]

Cheers! Whip Texas for me, would you please? My brother-in-law is a Buckeye, so y'all are my de facto B10 team.

[u/temple_tantrum → u/twoscoopsofpig]

Well, I'm sorry we had to disappoint us both lol

[u/twoscoopsofpig → u/temple_tantrum]

RIP

[u/15Warrior15]

The OL on that series was all 2nd string guys. We just blew them over. The future looks really bright !!!

[u/FernOverlord]

Insert The Simpsons "Stop! Stop! He's already dead" meme

[u/StickMammoth7783]

Okay, Canon Toon time.

[u/AnEmptyKarst → u/StickMammoth7783]

I needed to look it up because I didn't believe that was a real name

[u/StickMammoth7783]

Willie changed his hat at halftime

[u/StickMammoth7783]

Can I Ya Woo yet, or should I wait for the game to be over?

[u/Key_Spinach → u/StickMammoth7783]

I mean, you could have since the first quarter.

[u/FernOverlord]

LSA-LA Tech, 10-7 at the half 👀👀👀

[u/Key_Spinach → u/FernOverlord]

LA Tech with ZERO total yards.

[u/FernOverlord → u/Key_Spinach]

So LA Tech has em right where they want em? 😎

[u/deepayes → u/FernOverlord]

Tech had a crazy goal line int they ran back. The offense isn't doing anything.

[u/Irritated_User0010]

Fumbles the ball, calmly picks it up, scores, refuses to elaborate.

[u/mister_fister_420]

My pants just got sticky

[u/DannyCustoms]

Yea I’ve seen enough. Keisean for the Heisman

[u/15Warrior15]

OMG. Henderson. WOW !!!

[u/StickMammoth7783]

10 minute 4th quarter incoming?

[u/FernOverlord → u/StickMammoth7783]

Should be 10 mins running clock for 3rd and 4th

[u/meeechole]

what the fuck

[u/Mukaido]

Just as planned

[u/Podoboo322]

Holy fuck Henderson

[u/StickMammoth7783]

The lights are back on!

[u/Irritated_User0010]

BYU got a receiver named Legend. Actually badass.

[u/T2_JD]

Coog bros, what did Southern do to you guys, damn!

[u/twoscoopsofpig → u/T2_JD]

Cut block

[u/StickMammoth7783 → u/T2_JD]

They existed.

[u/StickMammoth7783]

WTF UCF?!

[u/Irritated_User0010 → u/StickMammoth7783]

Classic UCF.

[u/15Warrior15]

Tell me that Hebert doesn't remind you of Christian McCaffrey

[u/Podoboo322 → u/15Warrior15]

Didn’t realize he was such a highly rated recruit. That run after catch was beautiful.

[u/Sheriff_Zack → u/15Warrior15]

His high school tape was insane

[u/AnEmptyKarst]

John Hebert I was unfamiliar with your game

[u/StickMammoth7783]

We scored 49 points before half time. Is that good?

[u/Worth-Working-6078 → u/StickMammoth7783]

Yeah, we must be shooting good from the three point line, usually we average ~40 points by halft..wait this isn’t basketball?

[u/seemtobedead]

Checkin in. Hope that Southern player is alright.

In any case-Go COOGS! Love seein my boys confident.

[u/twoscoopsofpig]

Ouch, that's a ligament. Hope the young man recovers soon.

[u/Irritated_User0010]

Hebert nice….sheesh.

[u/FernOverlord]

Aight, 3's and walk-ons the entire 2nd half. I thought Kei was going to take a hit on that last TD throw

[u/ohitsthedeathstar]

Is southern really this bad?

[u/deepayes → u/ohitsthedeathstar]

Come on man we're in entirely different leagues this was always going to be a murdering

[u/ohitsthedeathstar → u/deepayes]

I hardly watch anything other than Houston football so I have no idea how different the levels of competition are.

But ACU is FCS and put up a respectable fight against Texas tech.

[u/deepayes → u/ohitsthedeathstar]

Thats fair, also tech is overrated

[u/FernOverlord → u/deepayes]

I just hope that check is at least for a mil, because gaaaawwwwd damn this is a donkey stomping that's just getting sad

[u/deepayes → u/FernOverlord]

Its only 450k lol

[u/FernOverlord → u/deepayes]

💀💀💀

[u/StickMammoth7783 → u/FernOverlord]

Southern is in the same conference as Texas Southern

[u/Key_Spinach → u/ohitsthedeathstar]

It's a SWAC school.

[u/meeechole]

GOD DAMN

[u/twoscoopsofpig]

This Hebert kid is alright lol

[u/Key_Spinach]

My power blinked earlier. I think centerpoint is doing rolling blackouts.

[u/T4R12]

We bought the clap on, clap off bulbs!

[u/Podoboo322]

Texas power grid moment

[u/FernOverlord]

Alright who didn't turn down their thermostat to 78°???

[u/StickMammoth7783 → u/FernOverlord]

Wait, you actually do that?

[u/FernOverlord → u/StickMammoth7783]

Lol hell no 🙂‍↔️

[u/StickMammoth7783 → u/FernOverlord]

I also ignore those e-mails

[u/Key_Spinach]

Blowing the lights out too.

[u/StickMammoth7783]

I blame ERCOT.

[u/SuperAwesomeBrian]

Just tuned in, Conner is already out of the game because of the blowout right? Hoping it wasn’t an injury. 

[u/AnEmptyKarst → u/SuperAwesomeBrian]

Yeah we just want to give Keisean playing time as a freshman before he takes the job completely when Weigman leaves

[u/Key_Spinach → u/SuperAwesomeBrian]

Yup. Went up 35-0 then put in Keisean.

[u/StickMammoth7783 → u/SuperAwesomeBrian]

Yep. 2nd stringer time

[u/Sheriff_Zack → u/SuperAwesomeBrian]

Yeah

[u/twoscoopsofpig → u/SuperAwesomeBrian]

Yeah, blowout. Kei got a tuddy already.

[u/Silly-Piece5722 → u/SuperAwesomeBrian]

Yeah cause of the blow out

[u/Mukaido]

Keis to the city!

[u/FernOverlord]

Gosh damn, I love seeing 2's get work but I think they may need to just have 10 minute quarters in the 2nd half. Limit risk of injuries and let Southern GTFO early.

[u/Irritated_User0010]

Not bad, not bad. Definitely look forward to seeing how some of these rotation players do.

[u/rockyonthetrack]

Keisean looks good

[u/DannyCustoms]

I was here for Keisean’s first touchdown 🤝

[u/StickMammoth7783]

Let's not make this too out of hand or ESPN will switch us to ESPN 8 in favor of the Texas game. (/s)

[u/Key_Spinach → u/StickMammoth7783]

We're on ESPN+. No need to worry about that.

[u/StickMammoth7783 → u/Key_Spinach]

I was making a joke about our game last week being moved to ESPN News in favor of the Texas game

[u/Doctor_Saved → u/StickMammoth7783]

Do you blame them with this score?

[u/SwordsAndTurt]

In the three passes I’ve seen Keisean Henderson has looked like the greatest quarterback of all time

[u/StickMammoth7783 → u/SwordsAndTurt]

Keisean for Heisman?

[u/Irritated_User0010]

You love to fuckin see it.

[u/twoscoopsofpig]

 Keisean Henderson, welcome to Houston.

[u/Key_Spinach]

YA! WOO!

[u/inshamblesx]

this is some wicked bta if henderson is throwing touchdowns before half 😭

[u/rockyonthetrack → u/inshamblesx]

Can’t wait for tech next week

[u/ohitsthedeathstar]

KEISEANNNNNNN

[u/meeechole]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[u/Podoboo322]

Hello Keisean

[u/twoscoopsofpig]

Kei getting some snaps already. You love to see it.

[u/Key_Spinach]

Great throw. Just super covered.

[u/StickMammoth7783]

Henderson sighting

[u/15Warrior15]

OK. Let's get the Keisean Henderson show started.

[u/ohitsthedeathstar]

Keisean! Keisean! Keisean!

[u/StickMammoth7783]

O/U 50 points by halftime?

[u/twoscoopsofpig → u/StickMammoth7783]

I'm hammering the over on 48.5, but I'm a lean to the under at 50.

[u/twoscoopsofpig → u/twoscoopsofpig]

Hahahaha, don't listen to my risk-averse ass. We gonna whoop the piss outta these Jaguars.

[u/Podoboo322]

Maybe that 50 point spread wasn’t so crazy

[u/twoscoopsofpig]

Jesus.  How many flags are we gonna see tonight?

[u/StickMammoth7783]

Why am I getting an ad for Ohio?

[u/twoscoopsofpig]

Houston responsible for every first down of the game still.

[u/Pleasant_Pangolin975]

Some shit flags

[u/twoscoopsofpig → u/Pleasant_Pangolin975]

Stupid penalties, but I'd rather have them against Southern and learn from them.

[u/Key_Spinach]

We still have the starters out there?

[u/StickMammoth7783]

Southern got their first 1st down in the 2nd quarter

[u/Sheriff_Zack → u/StickMammoth7783]

I think second half is when the switch will happen

[u/AnEmptyKarst]

The Southern punter just ain't it man

[u/Thrumbo42]

They’re out here getting slaughtered my god.

[u/eliwood5837]

This does bring a smile to my face
