The University of Houston is one of the best sports colleges in the country

By Stephen Meriwether-Hocker

This week my alma mater, the University of Houston, is ranked in the Top 25 in both football and basketball. The basketball team is currently ranked #2 in the nation, and the football team, after beating Arizona State last weekend, is now ranked #22.

Only seven schools hold Top 25 rankings in both sports. By my math, that makes UH the 3rd best sports college in the country. My math might be biased, but this is cool no matter how you spin it. I remember the dark ages for both programs — a lot of credit goes to the people who turned things around.

Go Coogs!
