Anyway...
Horns have to play Houston this weekend, AT Houston. This was likely a barb aimed directly at the Texas administration, who have refused to play Houston in any major sport, ever since the event called "Bleachergate."
Bleachergate occurred in 2001, when Texas was scheduled to play an away game at Houston. This was the first time the Horns had agreed to play them after the dissolution of the SWC 6 years earlier. UT asked if Houston would be willing to move the game to the Astrodome because it accommodated more spectators, and offered a million dollars to do so. UH declined because they wanted to host the game in their own stadium and maintain some sort of homefield advantage, which is totally understandable. But they did agree to add some additional temporary bleachers in the endzone to serve a larger crowd, and they sold those tickets to Texas fans.
A day or two before the game, inspectors took a look at those temporary bleachers, and immediately condemned them. They had been hastily and sloppily assembled, and were deemed unsafe for occupation. The day before the game, Texas fans were notified of this, but were not offered a refund on the tickets they'd already purchased. Instead, UH offered to let them all watch the game on the video screens in their basketball arena.
I guess some Texas fans did that, I don't know, but the Texas athletic department and adminsitration were furious, and from that day forward absolutely refused to schedule Houston in any major sport, despite numerous advances and requests over the years.
So when it was announced that Houston and Texas would be overlapping in the B12 for a year, many Texas fans suspected that not only would Houston be on our schedule, but it would be a home game for the Coogs. And... here we are.
For reference, here are pictures of the bleachers that were condemned, despite UH officials claiming they were just fine and that Texas officials were complaining about nothing:
And the sections that sat empty that night:
