Miami v. UH
The Miami Hurricanes invade Reliant tonight for a game against overmatched UH.
Michael Murphy says UH fans need to quit sending him bitchy emails and get out to support their team.
Agreed (more on this later).
Dave Maggard is hoping there will be no repeat of the ticket fiascoes at the game with Rice (technically a Rice home game).
He's probably safe. With Ivan bearing down, I can't imagine the walkup crowd is going to be comparable.
In fact, even though I've been looking forward to this game a long time, I don't know if I'm going to brave the possibility of local flooding to go see the inevitable blowout (more on the topic of UH scheduling later too), especially with it on ESPN.
(Update) Well, the storm held off and I made it to the game. Aside from a tough first quarter and turnovers, I thought UH acquitted themselves well against NFL U given the state of the UH program. And I had a hell of a good time watching college football at Reliant, truly a first-class facility. It should be the Coogs' home, but that's a topic for later.

Fair enough. Can't blame you if you don't go.

The storm seems to be poking along, so I'm hoping to make it out!

Actually, as much as everyone will talk about how poorly The U played (and they did), I think UH played actually really well. Even after playing OU, their pass defense was ranked 14th in the nation coming in, and they definitely demonstrated why.
Art Briles' offense is really tricky to defend.
I had fun as well. The U's definitely going to have to pick it up if they want to go undefeated, b/c performances like last night are not going to get it done throughout.
