We Will Remember These Champions

Saturday night hurt. It didn’t hurt me as a fan; to me, it was disappointing. I’ve seen it before and I have seen it from every team I have rooted for. And I know I’ll see it again.

9 months ago3 months ago Brad TownsCougar Legends, Guy V. Lewis, Kelvin Sampson, NCAA Tournament, Rob Gray, SDSU

The Coogs tried their hardest to give it away in the last 15 minutes of the game. And any UH fan that denies thinking SDSU’s last-second shot was going in is flat-out lying. But damn … what a great win for this City and the program that Guy V. Lewis built. The Coogs built a first-half 13-point lead… Read More

10 months ago10 months ago Ryan Monceaux2018 Men's Basketball, AAC Tournament, Bracketology, NCAA Tournament, Seedology

Let’s be real: the tourney is interesting but we care about the Coogs. That’s why I focus on seedology and not bracketology.
