    USC and UCLA seem to do ok in a city that hosts the Lakers and Dodgers.
    Yeah, that's another problem. They have sucked. But the still have more heisman winners than Utah

      But do they have a TWO-TIME winner of the RAY GUY award? I didn't think so.

        I have to admit, he seems like a really cool guy.

            And Utah has more Ray Guy awards than BYU has national championships.

              Tough to argue with Taylor's logic.

              I see she had this tweet also. Kind of an odd thing to say considering she is attending SUU.

                Who is Taylor Cella? Did s/he win a Heisman while playing for Houston?

                  Ray Guy was really cool.

                    I don't know, but I see from FB that her favorite sports team is, "BYU sucks." I bet she gets straight A's at SUU.

                      This doesn't sound cool

                      On August 14, 2011, Ray Guy filed for bankruptcy and was forced to put up his Super Bowl rings for auction

                        Her twitter feed is funny. She is an idiot.

                        I also note that LAUte follows her.

                              You don't understand: this is BIG time for recruiting. With the combo of our amazing special teams and unamazing offense, where would you rather go if you were a big time punter? And now an Aussie winner of the Ray Guy? I expect a big influx of international punters (Croats, Russians, Zimbabweeans) over the next few years.

The prestige of playing on the national stage would certainly allow them to be on a more even playing field with the other Texas schools. If they get in the fans will come.
                                Houston already did that in the SWC under HC Bill Yeoman and after - UH was respectable up through 1990. In the SWC, Houston won the conference four times and had some good win streaks against Texas. Even with that success, I'm not sure UH had a large, dedicated fan base. After 1990, UH struggled and the demise of the SWC relegated them to their current place in college football. I'm not sure if Houston were given a second chance as a member of the Big 12, anything would change for reasons Moliere has stated.
