Ahh..the glory days from the Alma Mater.

"The Cougars were an elite team in two decades -- the late '60s and '70s. In fact, Houston was ranked in the top 20 seven times in the '70s, including four top 10 finishes. This is, after all, a school that gave us Heisman Trophy winner Andre Ware in 1989. After being investigated for more than 250 NCAA violations, the Cougars were barred from playing in bowls for two years in 1988 and lost 10 scholarships. They also saw their Southwest Conference disband in 1996. But now they're back. Could the C-USA's Cougars be the third-best team in Texas, ahead of A&M and Tech? For now, the polls say yes."
