Go Coogs!
As you may already know, the Wild Heart is a proud alumnus of the University of Houston in Houston, TX. With that said, it is a well-known fact that in Texas, we take football a bit too seriously down here – much like the rest of the world does with soccer. (Even though the soccer one is quickly changing in Houston due to the fact that it is the most ethnically diverse city in the US next to New York City)
Since UH has joined the Big 12 Conference for sports, that means we have more fans. Also, the students have voted to raise their own tuition to get a new stadium – one that’s bigger.
However, as with any stadium, I believe that someone needs to “break in the acoustics.” Even though its an outdoor stadium, it must be done. Needless to say, the wheels in the Wild Heart’s head have been turning.
What the UH officials need to do is bring back concerts permanently to the University of Houston. With the exception of a few local bands, Larry Gatalin (who apparently was a UH alum), Cyndi Lauper, and a few others including the Gym Class Heroes – UH concerts have all but disappeared from both Hofheinze Pavillion at UH (my father went to see bands like the Who, the Guess Who, Trapeze, just to name a few) and Robertson Stadium.
This needs to change!
With that said, how about getting the UH Spirit of Houston Marching Band to team up with none other than Fleetwood Mac to do a rendition of “Tusk” at the first-ever halftime show.
What do you think?
