A Day in the Life of a Cougar Fan

 There was 10 seconds left on the clock, the Cougars were in victory formation, and at that point all of us U of H fans knew we had secured the win. It had been a long season of football full of rain, sweat, tears, and a lot of nail-biting endings, but it was finally worth it; The Cougars won the AAC Conference Championship!

            As my mom, dad, sister, and I celebrated the exciting win with all of the other Cougar fans, we noticed a few students jumping over the railing and rushing the field. Before we knew it, everyone in the stands started following them, and a sea of red and white began to form on the field. Being alums, my dad and sister knew this was an opportunity they couldn't pass up, and being since it looked like such good time, I figured why not join them? We made our way down the stands, jumped over the concrete ledge, and sprinted down to the stage where the championship trophy was going to be presented. At this point, security was going crazy, confetti was flying everywhere, and grown men (including my dad) were acting like little girls that just saw Justin Bieber, as the players walked out. It couldn't have been more perfect. The sense of pride and accomplishment was so strong, you could feel the entire Houston community becoming more unified. Being a part of such a monumental moment like that is definitely something I’ll never forget.
