My Coogs go Ute hunting tonight at 915pm. Interesting fact to hear on CGD, UH will be Utah's first opponent with a winning record. 🤔

Job very well done, Mr. Nunez! A+ from parking garage, to pregame atmosphere, to concessions, to fireworks and drones, game was awesome, and even exiting the garage was a breeze. You & your team should be proud!
Thank you to everyone that showed up and cheered on our @UHCougarFB Coogs! Your energy was a Game changer. Thank you to my team for making this a great night. We hope you had a great time and know we can continue to improve and we will. Have a great night and Go Coogs!

Coogs need to show up. No excuses. Let's go! See ya there!
As you can see, we have reduced parking and if you prepay you save additional $. There are plenty of Beer options at comparable prices & not just the only one others refer to being $18 (that’s like two beers in one). There is also food deals and much more. See you you there!

He's probably not wrong.
You just sat in traffic for this but not a top 20 team 10 minutes away down the street. For the love of God, Houston, please go support your top 25 University Of Houston Cougars. I don’t know what else you need to make this more clear. They are the football team for our city atm.

This.
Case Keenum has been in the NFL since 2012. Until Monday night, his two kids had never seen him play a game. Not one. Not ever. Here is what he said before kickoff. "It means everything. It's incredible because we always say 'Keenum's can do hard things.' So we'll do some hard things tonight. And hopefully I can show them tonight how it's done." He is 38 years old. He was the third quarterback on the Chicago Bears depth chart. Caleb Williams was ruled out. Backup Tyson Bagent went into concussion protocol. So the job fell to the guy nobody expected to take another snap in his life. It had been 1,009 days since Case Keenum started a regular season NFL game. The last one was Christmas Eve of 2023 with the Houston Texans. His son Kyler was born in November of 2019. His daughter Cadence was born in April of 2021. Which means Case Keenum has been an NFL quarterback for every single day that either of his children has been alive, and neither one of them had ever seen him play a game. Cadence was two years old the last time he started one. He arrived at Soldier Field carrying what looked like a paper sack, dressed like a man on his way to a parent teacher conference. The internet had a wonderful time with it. Somebody said his wife must have packed him a lunch. That wife is Kimberly. The family calls her the logistical ninja, because she is the one who has packed and unpacked their whole life through the Houston Texans, the Rams, the Minnesota Vikings, the Denver Broncos, Washington, the Cleveland Browns, the Buffalo Bills, Houston again, and now the Chicago Bears. This is also the man who threw for 19,217 yards at Houston, which is still the most in the history of college football, and then went undrafted. Then the game started. 24 of 34. 247 yards. Two touchdowns. No interceptions. Not sacked one time. Eight yards to Luther Burden III in the first quarter. Forty one yards to Kalif Raymond in the third. Then in the fourth he kept it himself and walked it in from a yard out. Three touchdowns from a third string quarterback. Chicago Bears 27, Philadelphia Eagles 7. When it ended he walked off hyping up the crowd in the north end zone, and the whole stadium stood up for him. And then came the part nobody could have written. Keenum went out to do his postgame interview on the SportsCenter set. His daughter came with him. Five years old, out on that stage next to her dad, waving at a stadium full of Chicago Bears fans who were still standing there cheering for him. Fourteen years of practice squads and backup jobs and new cities and moving trucks. He said it himself when he signed here. More than knowing how to get hit, he knows how to get back up. The first NFL game his kids ever got to watch, their dad won it, and he scored three times doing it. Keenums can do hard things. For more stories like this, follow us on any platform @thesportsontap

Imagine starting a job where everyone assumes you know the deadlines, the norms, the unwritten rules… but no one actually tells you. That’s the first year of teaching. Fear of missing something. Self-doubt. Not even knowing what to ask. We can fix that!

Self-doubt. Not even knowing what to ask. This isn’t a new teacher problem or even a mentor problem. It’s a (lack of) systems problem, but we can fix that!

As we approach the beginning of a new school year, I'm reminded (and want to remind others) that looking at ADD or ADHD for the "gifts" it provides is essential to understanding the whole child!

Stay humble, my friends. (At least that's what I tell myself each year I endure this rejection.)

How are you planning to support your beginning teachers this year? Is it purpose-driven? Is it systemic? instagram.com/reel/Dafn_2Tj3…

"Failure happens, but is finite. Fear can be ever-present. It can be paralyzing. The goal isn't to eradicate fear, the goal is to lead through it, anyway!" @jillmsiler @LearnTexas #lftx26
