Daily Craig: Pass the dinero

HOUSTON – Tomorrow the UH Athletic Dept will get the biggest gift it has ever received. I AM TAKING A WILD GUESS Tillman Fertita is involved. Just a guess, mind you. This gift will be to improve facilites, etc. or THE SCHOOL will announce it is in the BIG 12. Yep, the Coogs should just send the conference a major league check to get an edge on those rascals from BYU OR UCONN or MEMPHIS . Of course, one guy confessed last week the BIG 12 members think they are "already Texas heavy". Sure it is. And a good thing they are or the smarty pants complainers would have to go to KANSAS OR IOWA ST. football games.

Rice threw it's hat into the BIG 12 ring last week. That makes an even 20 schools hoping they can move out of the shadows. Imagine if the SEC expanded again?  In less than 2 weeks the UH can make some waves when OU comes calling. However, how much better would that match up be if the game was played at THE COOGS HOUSE instead of NRG?  TICKET SALES aside,  you finally book a really meaningful home game and then DON'T PLAY AT HOME.

What if the big news tomorrow is Tillman announcing the campus has been O.K'D FOR CASINO GAMBLING?  Now, we're talking.
