Houston QB bails on coogs
- Thread starter Herd In the Plains
- Start date
John O'Korn started every game as a freshman at UH but last year he started the first five games and lost three and he got pounded by UTSA in the season opener. One of his wins was against FCS Grambling. So he lost his job to a wide receiver and collected splinters thereafter.The long and short of it is that UH didn't lose a QB, it gained a scholarship.
He won't play for Harbaugh at Michigan either.

Flipping channels yesterday and came upon Houston - Tulsa game. If there were 1000 fans at that game I would be shocked. Not so big time. LOL!
THE AMERICAN!!!!!!
The nothing conference of random leftover teams with nothing in common but irrelevance.
THE AMERICAN!!!!!!
Where is ole Coog? Walking on at Michigan - even if he never takes a snap - better than playing at Houston. Oh well Coog we are looking good at QB.
Stay where we are, boys. We'll better off in the long run. If Cincy and UConn bolt, what's left won't be equal to the surviving C-USA. Can drive to five of six road football games next year. Did anyone notice what a pitiful recruiting year ECU had (almost feel sorry for them)?
I have to say I disagree. If the competition was "much better" in the AAC they should have finished well ahead of CUSA in the conference rankings. Not only did they not finish well ahead of CUSA in conference rankings, they didnt finish ahead at all. The AAC finished ranked below CUSA and CUSA got a bigger share of the FBS revenue than the AAC. That is a fact. This happened in a year where CUSA is starting to rebuild. CUSA should only get stronger in the coming years.
Marshall can get the access slot just as easy in CUSA as it could the AAC. Even with a very weak OOC schedule, we were still right there challenging for the spot. TV for Marshall was also pretty good. Most games were on TV. Yes the AAC makes more money on their TV deal but they got their deal after CUSA got theirs. When the current CUSA contract is up look for CUSA to get an increase and possibly jump the AAC. If Marshall were to leave CUSA for the AAC it would cost Marshall millions. And for what? a slight increase in TV revenue for the current TV contract in a conference ranked lower than our current conference and the same opportunities for an access bowl slot?
OP is retarded. O'Korn got benched because he threw 2-5 interceptions every game. Our current quarterback, Greg Ward Jr was starting at Wide Receiver the first 5 games (was the #2 qb in 2013 as a true freshman) and not only lead us to a winning season but also a bowl win over Pitt. Right now he is the favorite to start under the Herman regime.

All I know is that I have seen 3 Houston B'ball games on TV and each couldn't have had more than 1000-1500 hundred people there. I guess ole Coug will say they are averaging 8K or something totally ridiculous. Lol!
That of course shows that you don't know much. Our basketball team isn't good this year but it will not only would still beat Marshall, but it's attendance is comparable to Marshalls too.
No, it shows that in a metro area of 2 Mil plus, even a bad Houston team can't get more than 1000 people to a game including students = not relevant. Lol!
It's Phi Slamma Crappa!

In what universe will Conf Usa tv deal be better or even equal to AAC?The fact that people are making fun of watching teams from the AAC on National tv is strange at best. What Conf basketball teams are on national tv platforms as much as the AAC teams.
Is the AAC is phenomenal league,of course not.Does it beat Conf USA exposure,yes hands down.Hamrick would jump into the arms of Mike Aresco and the AaC faster than a bolt of lightning if the Herd was invited.

not true at all...
i agree the AAC is a better conference overall and would much rather see the Herd playing our former CUSA rivals (ECU, UCF, ect) than the directional Sun Belt and FCS schools we currently play. however, the cost of moving from CUSA (buyouts, entry fee, losing Props) is not worth it. we proved this past season we can curb stomp a bunch of no-name schools and still end up ranked and in position for the Access bowl. moving to the AAC would only make that path more difficult both in terms of competition and recruiting with the loss of our HELP program. there currently is not enough incentive for Marshall to move. Hamrick knows this and chose not to push for inclusion in the AAC. he has spoken about it before...
when the next round of expansion occurs and TV contracts are renewed then the positives may outweigh the negatives enough for Hamrick to push hard for the AAC.
We would not lose our props or the H.E.L.P. program since that is a university program for all students.
There is no rule in the AAC against props, it's just frowned upon.

I really don't see the need to switch conferences. I mean the P5 conferences may end up as the P4 before the dust settles. They have made it clear that this is as good as it gets in football. I miss ecu and even ucf in football but that is it. If U. Conn leaves this AAC will be about the same. For the record, we did finish higher this season than the AAC and received a larger portion of money. I say work on our OOC games, win C-USA and we will be no worse off than if we were in the AAC. At the end of the day, on a national level, I doubt that people in LA or NY will be much more impressed with a win over ecu rather than La Tech IMO.
the "Big East" voted down accepting props in 2006. i know the "Big East" is gone, but are you certain this rule was overturned or changed for the American?

I love Marshall, but I never understand why folks continue to hurt to push C_USA being equal or better that the AAC. That's like trying to convince
folks day and night are the same. They play on the number one sports channel in the world multiply times per week. They make more money than we do.They have much better know universities to the public than we do. They had teams losing games rated ahead of us for much of the season in football last year, and will put 3 to 5 basketball teams in the tourney while we put one automatic bid. Why argue insanely about this. We'd be much better off in that conference over time, anyone with reasonable sports interest would elect that. Just because we aren't there doesn't make them less than they are. Vann we survived in C USA, off course we can. But don't pretend we are as well of as we'd be if in "that other conference".

whf, I believe this talk centers around football. In 2015 CUSA had better football results than aac.
Define better football.Sargarin rates a FCS conference ahead of Conf Usa and the AAC,does anyone think a FCS league is better than Conf USA.
Marshall is the class of Conf Usa in football and would compete very nicely in the AAC.Ask yourself this,had Marshall lost only one game in the AAC this year would they not have gotten the AccessBowl slot?Yes they would have.
Why,because the schools in the AAC are respected much more than anything left in Conf Usa.Cincy, ECU,UCF ,Tulsa and Houston are always going to have more street cred than ODU,MTSU snd North Texas.Marshall would also have had a weekly national ESPn platform to showcase how good they are.ECU was on national tv all the time last year.That is huge for G5 teams.
I understand the cognitive dissonance that abounds with some fans,but no way C9nf Usa i s better for Marshall than the AAC
Marshall would be a great addition and Hamrick shpuld be ready to do whatever is necessary to get the Herd 8n that league.

The AAC I'd a better conference. ECU and UCF would have been the second and third best teams in CUSA easily. The Gap between the conference is not great, but don't kid yourself as far as competition goes our conference is pretty bad. And that's the way it is perceived nationally. If we were in the AAC we would have a little more respect.
Outside of a few good years in CUSA, Tulsa is historically terrible in football
We need to get into the AAC for 1 reason and 1 reason only............ESPN

Being on TV is a two way street if you are bad and have bad attendance such as Houston does, it's best for the masses and recruits to not see that. All they see is a school trying to be a big boy and failing badly.
Sorry, Jeremy, that may be true somewhere like "out Wayne", but when March Madness starts the interest dwarfs anything else in sports except for the Super Bowl (and perhaps the World Cup anywhere else in the world not named USA).
Otherwise, this thread resembles the same arguments that we saw when discussing Kayo Marcum's phrase about a "slow dime versus a fast nickel".

Give it a few more years. When UConn, Cincy, ECU, and UCF move to P5 conferences, the AAC will collapse - just like the Big East. The AAC is just CUSA + UConn and Temple, anyway.
No it won't go away. it will rob teams from CUSA. And if Marshall gets the invite, we are good as gone.
I don't think it would be worth it to pay the buyout to a conference which is, at best, a small improvement over CUSA. However, I don't see how anyone would be able to consider it a better conference to be in when the four top schools leave - and they will, as soon as P5 conferences start expansion again. ECU/UCF to the ACC, Cincy/Uconn to the B1G. Less likely but feasible, Memphis/SMU to the Big 12.
If UCONN, Cincy, ECU, and UCF didn't get offers before, they will never move up. The Big XII would rather push for a 10 team conference championship then add 2 more teams
