Family Weekend, Homecoming among themes announced for upcoming season
HOUSTON – University of Houston Football has unveiled themes for its six-game home slate this fall beginning with Lone Star Stampede, as the Cougars kick off the season Thursday, Aug. 28 against Stephen F. Austin.
Houston Football celebrates Hispanic Heritage during its Big 12 Conference opener when Colorado comes to town on Sept. 12. The program's second annual Houston Blue game will headline Family Weekend festivities against Texas Tech on Oct. 4.
Houston's clash against Arizona on Oct. 18 will serve as Homecoming and its tilt against West Virginia on Nov. 1 will serve as Heroes Night as the program recognizes military and first responders.
The Cougars honor their senior class as part of Senior Day on Nov. 22 against TCU which will also be the Black Out game.
Additional promotions and giveaways will be announced as the season draws closer.
