HOMECOMING

Late rally falls shortDespite a comeback in the second half, the Cougars, led by true freshman quarterback David Piland, were unable to triumph over Tulsa for the last home game of the season. | Gregory Bohuslav/The Daily Cougar

John BrannenTHE DAILY COUGAR

As the Cougars ran out of timeouts, and Tulsa gained a first down with less than two minutes remaining in the fourth

quarter, all Tulsa had to do was run out the clock.

Then Hurricane quarterback G.J. Kinne lost the grip of the ball, and the officials signaled UH had possession.

After official review, the replay revealed the ground caused the fumble — allowing Tulsa to run out the clock and hold on for the win.

It was just that kind of night for the Cougars (5-5, 4-3 Conference USA), as they fell 28-25 at their Homecoming and

last game in Robertson Stadium of the season.

Freshman quarterback David Piland threw five interceptions, much to the dismay of Cougar fans.

Fans booed the Cougars as they went into the locker rooms at the half, and chants of “we want Broadway” could be heard throughout Robertson Stadium after the fourth and fifth interceptions

Provost John Antel addressed the concerns of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences faculty as the Uni-versity prepares for a 10 percent cut in state funding in the coming fi scal year.

“The state is facing a deficit between $11 billion and $25 billion,” Antel said, “The total spending of the state is a little less than $190 million, so

that’s a lot of money for a defi cit.”Antel said the state might face a

larger defi cit of up to $30 billion dollars as of late. The offi cial numbers won’t be released until the Texas Legislature resumes its session in January.

“We will go into a legislative session starting Jan. 30 with everybody saying that they don’t want to cut expendi-tures and they don’t want to raise taxes,” Antel said. “We have to decide what we’re going to do and what we’re

Matthew KeeverTHE DAILY COUGAR

At 10 a.m. on Saturday, hundreds of sleepy, music-loving Houstonians dragged themselves out of bed — aided by cups of cof-fee and plenty of cigarettes — to witness a benchmark achievement for Houston culture: a marker honoring the legendary Sam “Lightnin’” Hopkins was erected in Third Ward.

It’s the fi rst marker of its kind, and Houstonians far and wide are excited. The enthusiasm stems not only from the much-deserved reverence to Hopkins — though his was the most signifi cant one — but the idea that ground has been broken in the city of Houston honoring and recognizing music.

“His music is life…everyday life,” Hopkins’ cousin Milton said. “Any time you hear a Lightnin’ Hopkins song, you can rest assured [that] it’s true.”

Before this event in his adopted

hometown of Houston, there was nothing to show Hopkins’ contributions, accomplishments or record of his life. His albums are available in stores and his name is constantly brought up in the underground music scene, but there were no markers — other than his modest gravesite — any-where in the city.

Driven by this fact, local blues enthusiast Eric Davis fi led the paperwork for the marker a little more than a year ago, hoping that with the help of fellow music lovers, he might be able to bring about a cultural shift in Houston, one that would swing toward the appreciation of music and other arts.

With the help of House of Blues, Live Nation, Project Row Houses and the Houston Blues Society, he did it.

“It was just time for someone to remember what he gave, not only Houston and Texas but the world,” Davis said.

In the 1960s, Hopkins traveled through Europe and even played at Carnegie Hall. But no matter how infl uential and renowned he became, Lightnin’ always

considered Houston his home. “I think it’s a shame that we

have let such important contribu-tions to the cultural fabric of Houston, Texas and beyond go to the wayside,” Davis said.

But as of Saturday, the idea of honoring a musician with a monu-ment in the city of Houston is no longer a distant vision. Hopefully this marker will be the fi rst of many.

Hopkins, who died of esopha-gus cancer in 1982, was buried in Forest Park Cemetery here in Houston. More than 4,000 family members, friends, fans and other musicians attended.

In comparison, Saturday’s event was meek, but its lasting effects will surely resonate throughout the city for years to come.

The marker is just minutes away from the UH campus, and it’s a monument to soul of Houston. Are we a git’r’done kind of city? Absolutely. We’re not without a heartbeat, though.

But don’t take my word for it — listen to any of Hopkins’ record-ings and you’ll feel it.

STAFF EDITORIAL

O n Saturday, the Houston Cougars fell to Tulsa in a close matchup, during which UH almost overcame an 18-point defi cit to win

the game. Unfortunately, the Cougars’ effort wasn’t quite

enough, and our Homecoming parade was rained on. But the game wasn’t the only thing UH lost; it also lost some of its dignity.

Just before halftime, the Cougars, down by 11 points, had the ball near their own end zone. Coach Sumlin, fearing Piland might throw another inter-ception, made the decision to let the minute and 30 seconds left in the half run out. Piland had already thrown four picks at this point, and Sumlin made the right choice. But as the clock wound down, the Cougar fans turned rowdy and began to boo.

Good job, guys. Way to give the Golden Hur-ricane fans another reason to celebrate and snicker.

Ask yourself how much you’ve contributed to UH and if it’s enough to catcall a group of young students who represent our University week in and week out. Chances are, it’s not. Just who do you think you are?

Sure, Piland had a rough fi rst half; in fact, he had a rough game as a whole, throwing a total of fi ve interceptions. But he’s a freshman, for crying out loud.

Have you all forgotten that our star player and our second-string quarterback suffered injuries that have kept them off the fi eld for most of the season? Piland has stepped up, gone above and beyond expectations and — along with his teammates and coaching staff — given Cougar fans a reason to still believe in our program. One bad game isn’t enough reason to jeer him, his teammates or his coach.

It was a disgusting display, and we can only hope that it will soon be forgotten. Remember when those two students wearing University of Texas shirts were ejected from the game a few weeks back? That’s how the booing fans should have been dealt with.

Next time you celebrate a Cougar victory, think about what you’re celebrating. Don’t be a fair-weather fan. And for those of you who rushed the fi eld when we beat Texas Tech last year but left early as we fell to Tulsa on Saturday, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

And if you’re not, don’t worry. Because we are.

Fans at Houston v. Tulsa game were not the Pride

I f you think your boss is an idiot, you should think twice before ranting and raving about it on your social media site.Your First Amendment rights play

little part in saving your job after posting something of that nature; in fact, it is very legal. Even if you love your job, this should be upsetting because your right to express your opinions outside of work is being monitored and judged.

Corporations that fi re their employees for unsettling posts are not technically violating the Constitution. The First Amendment protects our freedom of speech by not allowing infringements on our liberties acted by the government — not private employers — and if you’ve ever signed paperwork before being hired, most jobs have you know that your position can be terminated with or without cause. This is a recipe for disaster.

If many Americans are unsatisfi ed with their jobs, shouldn’t we expect workers to blow off some steam? In most cases, a Facebook status is harmless.

Unless a worker is deliberately saying dangerous or threatening words toward their boss, place of work or co-worker, his or her position should be safe. Employers need to remember the age-old saying: Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt.

Of course there may be some distasteful posts, but employers should have more important concerns.

This has become such a problem that Germany drafted a law in August making it illegal for private employers to “befriend” workers on Facebook, and is not allowed to read up on applicants by using Facebook.

In the UK, the British Law Society urges caution when using Facebook, and that it could invite unfair dismissal claims. In the US, there seems to be a gray area because there are no laws or acts that specifi cally

protect us from termination when using Facebook.

Companies place a high importance on workers who care about their label and brand as much as they do. This is an ideal situation, but it also may be unrealistic.

Corporations have a brand to protect, but Americans also have the right to protect their freedom of speech. Maintaining your job security shouldn’t have to require careful postings in your private life.

As of now, it seems like the best advice we can take is from Britain. Americans are going to have to resist the urge to tell it like it is online because our freedom of speech is being overlooked.

The term freedom of speech — some-thing we hear so often — is taking a drastic turn and mocking those who were fi red, and holds only irony when it comes to your Facebook post.

B y now, you’ve probably noticed the graffi ti littering our campus; it’s an egg-like face usually paired

with some nonsensical phrase written alongside it. It’s ugly, it’s arbitrary and it needs to stop.

Our University is doing all that it can do to achieve fl agship status. We’ve increased alumni support, increased enrollment, upped admission standards and we’re in the process

of countless remodeling and beautifi ca-tion projects all over campus. These attempts to make our campus look pres-tigious are thwarted by this unattractive and unsightly graffi ti artist who obviously has too much time on his hands.

There is nothing wrong with graffi ti as an art form — if it makes sense and/or stands for something — but this egg

cartoon is completely nonsensical. The text is fl at out ridiculous, too. “The most extraordinary marvels come from noth-ing,” reads the giant banner above the UC Satellite.

When graffi ti fi rst started, even back in ancient Roman days, it was meant to express a point or a means to be heard when voices and opinions weren’t accept-able. That tradition, for the most part, has carried on. So when artists like “the egg guy” go around defacing our campus, it’s not only a disgrace to him, but also the art form as a whole.

It’s almost like the graffi ti artist (if you can call him that) is imitating the world-famous Banksy.

The difference between this guy and Banksy is that Banksy has talent, and his work serves a purpose. Take for example Banksy’s “Ozone’s Angel,” in which he depicts an angel in military garb holding a skull. He raises awareness of all the

hazardous chemicals that we breathe in every day — almost saying that it’s so bad, it’s even in heaven. Dissimilarly, an egg with an angry face sends no message to the greater audience.

Perhaps the Daily Cougar will fuel his fi re. By writing this article, “the egg guy” may feel validated, and maybe he’ll start taking cheap shots at us or use snippets from this article in his next piece of work — how’s that for tossing you another egg? But we hope, instead, that this student — and yes, we know who you are; we’ve seen you — will stop incessantly defacing our campus with pointless eggs.

In the meantime, can the vandalism at least make sense? Do a simple Google search of some good graffi ti and try copy-ing some of the pros, because your work has failed to impress anyone.

The Cougar defense put forth a fi ghting effort holding Tulsa to 28 points, 12 under its usual average. The unit recorded two interceptions and forced fi ve punts, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Hurricane from taking advantage of offensive mistakes.

After true freshman quarterback David Piland threw four interceptions in the fi rst half, the burden was placed upon the defense to contain Tulsa quarterback G.J. Kinne and wide receiver Damaris Johnson.

“Our defense did really well,” head coach Kevin Sumlin said. “We’re both averaging 40 points a game, and to hold them to only 28 was a great showing of our defense. It came down to who could make the most big plays on defense and they did that tonight.”

The Cougar defense was challenged up front by Tulsa’s running game, which was led by their quarterback, who managed to rush for 190 yards on 31 carries and a touchdown. He also completed 20 of 31 with 154 yards and two touchdowns. Tulsa capitalized on the interceptions — scoring 14 points off of turnovers.

“We didn’t get a stop early in the game

when we needed to,” cornerback Jamal Robinson said. “We had some turnovers that we’d like to have back.

“With defense, stopping the man is our job, and we really didn’t do that tonight.”

Robinson recorded his fi rst interception of the season at the 11:39 mark in the second quarter. The second interception was made by sophomore linebacker Phillip Steward around the 7:42 mark in the second quarter — his second of the season.

Steward led the Cougar defense, posting 16 tackles, nine of which were solo stops. After replacing Matt Nicholson as linebacker, freshman Efrem Oliphant was the second leading tackler with 15 tackles, and a sack.

For many seniors like Robinson, it was their last home game in front of UH fans and alumni at Robertson Stadium. While disappointed with the loss, the team is perhaps one of the last to play at Robertson, with plans for a new football stadium on the horizon.

“The Rob has been great to me,” Robinson said. “It’s a great stadium with great fans. I’ve made a lot of plays on this fi eld — all the seniors have.

“It’s going to be hard to leave, but we can’t get caught up in that right now. We have to keep moving on and get these next two wins.”

STAT ATTACK

"#,#$% fansThat was the announced attendance for Saturday’s Homecom-ing game. Over 30,000 fans showed up to all six of the Cougars’ home games at Robertson Stadium.

Senior receiver Kierrie Johnson caught a pass and ran it 66 yards for a touchdown to get the Cougars within four points in the fourth quarter. He ! nished with 140 yards on ! ve receptions in his last game at Robertson Stadium.

Junior receiver Tyron Carrier caught four passes for 31 yards, increasing his streak to 37 consecutive games with a catch. He has caught at least one reception in every game of his three-year career at UH.

The shape of things to come: Southern Miss. put the parity of Conference USA on display beating the ! rst-place UCF 31-21 Saturday. With Tulane and Memphis on its schedule, UCF appears to be in good shape to lock up C-USA East, holding the advan-tage over ECU, but the Golden Eagles proved again a top C-USA team could be toppled. Southern Miss. needs ECU and UCF to lose to win the East division, but looks to be a challenge for the Cougars when they travel to Hattiesburg, Miss., next weekend in a do-or-die game.

who responded by telling them that he had none. They asked again, and the complainant repeated that he had nothing.

One of the suspects then revealed a weapon in his waistband. This did not sway the complainant, who again said that he had no money.

The two suspects then left the scene. The complainant was not injured during the incident.

“These aren’t professional criminals we’re talking about,” Lt. Brett Collier said. “These are folks in their late teens and early-20s who are pretty nervous when they do these kinds of things, and may not know how to react to an answer like that.”

Considering the situation, Collier is satisfi ed the outcome was not tragic.

“We’re glad it worked out the way it did and that it wasn’t an aggressive thing,” Collier said. “But we always keep in the back of our minds that the next one could be.”

Collier said that the event was not captured on security cameras and adjustments will be made to “try to pick up areas like that.”

Police do not confi dently believe that robbery was the suspects’ original intent for coming to campus.

“It’s an unusual one, but we’ve had things like that at all times during the day and it may have just been a crime of opportunity,” Collier said. “It’s pos-sible that they were up here for some other purpose — maybe they’re up here to steal a book or something — and they saw an opportunity,” Collier

said. “(Maybe) they happened to see someone walking by themselves. It’s hard to say what the situation was.”

One suspect is described as a medium build white male, approxi-mately 5-8 to 5-11 in height, between the ages of 19 and 23, who was wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt and athletic shorts.

The second suspect is described as a medium build black male, around 6-0 to 6-1, between the ages of 19 and 23, who was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, dark blue jeans, a red ball cap and white shoes.

The UHDPS will continue trying to determine the identity of the suspects, primarily by reviewing footage from security cameras of the surrounding areas.

going to cut.”The University will need to decide

what programs or services it will cut and may need to rely more on outside funding. “It’s going to be a very volatile situation about who’s going to take most of the cuts,” Antel said. “We’re slowly becoming more and more of a private university.”

In working with the Faculty Sen-ate, Staff Council and Faculty Budget

& Facilities Committee, solutions have been drafted facing the University’s budget shortfall.

One initiative will be to put a hold on department hires and replace-ments. Another solution looked into is increasing student tuition and fees to compensate for the budget cuts.

“If you look at the history from 1990 to 2010, we went from about 54 percent of our money coming from the state to about 24 percent,” Antel said.

The importance of the situation was emphasized to CLASS faculty in attendance when Antel said that the

University would have to slow down its push to achieve Tier One status.

UH is currently ranked at the top of seven research institutes in Texas.

Answering questions from faculty, Antel said the University will not be offering retirement packages due to a lack of state funding, which gives UH no resources to come up with an early retirement plan.

Antel spoke at the CLASS General Faculty meeting on Friday in Agnes Arnold Hall.

and also when the game was over.

No detour to Broadway plannedDespite Piland’s down perfor-

mance, there will be no quarterback controversy.

“No,” head coach Kevin Sumlin said when asked if he considered making a change. “The last inter-ception was coming down the field to win the game, so the game was over at that point.

“A quarterback gets too much credit when we win, and too much blame when we lose. That comes with the territory. There are always situations where it isn’t always one guy.”

Coulda, shoulda, wouldaThe Cougars never led the game

and found themselves playing from behind. When Tulsa took an open-ing lead, UH marched down deep in Tulsa territory. A pass to receiver James Cleveland in the end zone ricocheted off his hand causing the first interception of the game.

“That was all on me, that was my fault,” Cleveland said. “I should have attacked the ball, I waited for it to come down and the defender made a play on the ball. I should have went after the ball — caught

the ball at its highest point. I’ve been taught that since I was 14-years-old.”

The Cougars have climbed back from double-digit deficits in three of their five losses, but have failed to make the necessary plays in the fourth quarter to win.

“It was a great effort,” corner-back Jamal Robinson said. “We always give one. The effort has been there, it’s the execution that’s missing.”

Challenging circumstances aheadThe Cougars are a win away

from bowl eligibility. To win the C-USA West is a little

more tricky. The Cougars must win their last conference game Saturday against Southern Miss., and SMU must lose once in its next two games against Marshall and ECU. Tulsa also has to lose its next two games to UTEP and Southern Miss.

“We knew what was on the line — it was a lot — a bowl game and still in the race for a champion-ship game,” Robinson said. “Those things are still ahead of us. We still have to win — we still have games to play. We just need to win those and let everything fall into place. We’re all upset, but we know we got to keep playing.”
