Perhaps the single smartest move UH made was luring Sampson away from the Houston Rockets in 2014 to coach the men’s basketball team. He’s a master program-builder and proven winner, and best of all, he has fallen in love with Houston. Sampson had the force of personality—and the results—to shake donors from a decades-long stupor and persuade them to pony up for what would be a sea change for the school. He showed everyone connected with UH that the Cougars could still be relevant. On the other hand, fan interest should grow once UH is back in the same conference as historically familiar opponents such as Texas Tech, Baylor, and TCU.
The home game against Texas Southern has been moved up a week to Sept. 22, meaning the Cougars will have 12 days between the start of AAC play. Browse through the photos to see UH's slate of games for the 2018 season.

Davion Mitchell saw action as a true freshman and remains a work-in-progress. He is out 6-8 weeks following a shoulder injury suffered in spring practice, although he will ready for the start of camp.

Now amid a changing landscape and with a conference that may just survive the loss of its anchor schools, Texas and Oklahoma, UH could be perfectly positioned for the future. For me, the nightmare memory is of rats scurrying around the old Hofheinz Pavilion. If you attended a basketball game in the building’s final two decades before it was refurbished and reborn as the Fertitta Center, you may have seen the rodents in the concourses, seating areas, or even around the court. Although they harmed no one and minded their own business while living well on discarded hot dogs, burgers, and pizza, the rats did not add to the building’s charm. In conjunction with the University of Houston's tobacco-free campus initiative, smoking, including electronic cigarettes/vaping, is not permitted on any University grounds, including TDECU Stadium.
Prior to game day they can go online and claim one ticket for entry into the game.

Students must present a valid Cougar Card to claim a physical ticket on game day. The student entrance is ICON Gate 2 on the southeast side of TDECU Stadium.

By some estimates, the Big 12’s snub of UH in 1995 cost the school as much as half a billion dollars in TV-rights money. But the setback left UH officials determined to get back into a Power Five conference, and they spent big over the years to get the Big 12’s attention. After Texas and OU announced they’d be leaving for the SEC, UH’s invitation finally arrived.

After two decades of relentless apathy, combined with rage about being consigned to second-tier status in the wake of the 1995 dissolution of the Southwest Conference, UH seems positioned to compete with pretty much anyone.

But contrary to what many imagined might happen, the AAC did not screw over the departing Coogs. Instead, the schedule lays out nicely, giving Houston an excellent chance to get back to the AAC title game, likely in a rematch with Cincinnati. Houston running back Patrick Carr cuts back across the field past linebacker Khari Dotson during the University of Houston Red-White Game at TDECU Stadium on Saturday, April 15, 2017, in Houston.

The season opener is Sept. 1 at Rice, while the home opener is the following week against Arizona and former UH coach Kevin Sumlin.
Homecoming at the University of Houston is a tradition dating back to 1946. As student enrollment surged following World War II, Homecoming arose as one of many traditions that enlivened the campus. Around this time the football team joined the Lone Star Conference, the marching band was organized, the first bonfire was held, and Frontier Fiesta returned. As UH continues to move forward, the homecoming court, football game, and other festivities still welcome alumni back each fall.
