In case you hadn't heard, the Houston Cougar football team beat #19 undefeated SMU on Saturday, with Marcus Jones returning a kickoff 102 yards for the winning score in the closing seconds. We're back, and basking in the delirium of a play that instantly etched its place into Cougar lore. Plus, career days from Clayton Tune and Tank Dell to lead the Cougar offense, and a better defensive performance than you might glean from the final score helps Dana Holgorsen finally get that signature UH win.

Also, we welcome you to Dana Holgorsen and/or Clayton Tune-Doubting Amnesty Week, as we lead by example in encouraging everybody to air their worst takes, and then put them to bed and get 100% on board in supporting this team going forward.

And of course, we're reading the best of your #FourWordReviews from Saturday's wild action.

And to cap things off, as usual, we're giving you the rundown on the week that was in American Athletic Conference, Big 12, and general college football action.

We're back, previewing the biggest Houston Cougar football showdown in a while now, we dare say since Dana Holgorsen took over, as the hated and #19-ranked Ponies of Southern Methodist (nee Money) University come to Houston for a Saturday night showdown.

Of course we take a look back at the Cougar volleyball and soccer weeks that were, with both teams reaching varying degrees of the 'home stretch' of their seasons. PLUS, week 9 AAC, Big 12 and general college football action.

It won't go down as Houston's prettiest game of the year, but it will go down as the soggiest. The Cougars waited 5+ hours for the weather to permit the playing of football, and then rode their defense and special teams to an overtime victory over East Carolina. We're scratching our heads at some ineffective offensive line play, and some questionable playcalling, while also acknowledging the singular talent that is Marcus Jones, and Houston's best defense in years. And we wouldn't dare put together any football recap without your #FourWordReviews

And of course, we're recapping the week that was in the American Athletic Conference and the Big 12, as well as taking a look at the wildest and most interesting results from around college football.

We're giving the coaching staff and each position group a grade based on what we've seen through the first 6 games. Which position group did we exactly agree on?
