At the end of an eventful and mostly awesome calendar year for the Houston Cougar sports teams, the boys are back for 1 final time discuss the following Coog sports happenings from the week that was:

• Recapping a 38-35 Texas Bowl win over LSU that felt like a celebration of a special team and perhaps the start of a larger buy-in from the fanbase
• Men's Hoops closes non-conference play with a less than artful win over Middle Tennessee, with the excitement of Big 12 play beginning this coming weekend at Cincy
• The latest 2 games of a brutally difficult, all top 25 opponents start to women's hoops' Big 12 season, with a National POY candidate playing at Houston this week
