Closed just for today or did the board of regents realize that Cougar High was not reaching STAAR standards and they closed the school for good?

Not really. I just don't know anyone who, as a JH or HS kid who wasn't in sports ever say, after I ask him/her where they want to attend college, University of Houston. Yeah, it's like that.

@jax: I went there, wanted to, and am glad I did.  I went through their Honors college, graduated from the business school with an accounting degree, and have had a good job since.  It allowed me to work while I went through school, which was something I needed to be able to make ends meet, and wasn't guaranteed if I had gone to Austin, where I was also accepted.  I also had grades to get into Rice, but it was too expensive even then.  So, even though we don't know each other in real life, you can now say you know someone who went to UH by choice and wasn't there because of sports.  By the way, STAAR testing is for middle and high schools, and is not part of any university testing.

@jax: Those of us without our ways paid by mommy and daddy, or those stupid enough to go into serious debt need a university in an urban area so we can work our way though, UH has served me very well through out my professional career.  Those JH or HS kids without mommy and daddy are the ones that will be crying about how unfair their student loan payments are when they graduate.  
But UH will always be competing with the kids clamoring to attend North Dakota State I suppose.   4951

And now you know 2 people who went to U of H by choice. Actually, 3 since I'm married to a fellow proud Coog!
 
Full academic scholarship. Graduated top ten in HS so I could go anywhere in Texas. Chose "Cougar High". Most kids want to go away to school. U of H is a commuter school and understandably so when looking at the location. It's funny, though. A lot of kids that go away to the " Texas Ivy League" schools end up at U of H at some point. 4951

I would consider it a burn if I had attended NDSU or UND, but I didn't. I'm a Red Raider...just grew up in ND. I didn't want to go to Sioux U any more than kids want to attend Cougar High.
 
One of my best friends (and his wife) graduated from UH and even they call it Cougar High. He earned his masters there and she her PhD. It's all in fun with us. I can understand how others would be upset...like Terrell Owens crying when discussing Tony Romo. It runs deep.
 
My apologies to all you Terrell Owens out there.

On a sports note, UofH opens with Oklahoma on the schedule this year....at NRG. Now that could be a fantastic game. OU with Mayfield and UH coming off their great season. Man, what a starting game.
 
I prefer seeing this game 3-4 weeks in after both teams have worked out the kinks, but still...intriguing, that's for sure.
