Texas-OU got a 7.2 rating in Houston last year. Highest rated OU game in this market, and most were UT fans.
Texas was 1-4, 0-2 in conference going into that game.

Lots of OU fans and OU haters in Houston...Big12Fan said:https://twitter.com/ESPNPR/status/772456978132135936

15 Houston vs. No. 3 Oklahoma (noon on ABC) had a 4.0 overnight and had a streaming average minute audience of 131,000 and 547,000 unique viewers. The game was the third best overnight and second most-streamed game, in both average minute audience and unique viewers on WatchESPN, on Saturday.
The Houston market earned a 12.8 overnight for the Cougars-Sooners matchup, the markets best overnight for an opening weekend game ever on ESPNs networks.
I've always thought that was a great idea. Our 3 would probably be Baylor, Tech and WVU? Add UT if it were to include 4 permanent opponents.Big12Fan said:

It can be done. It just depends if you want to get a bit creative. It may seem confusing at first but it makes sense.
HoustonVeer said:Houston-OU did a 12.8 TV rating locally, and a 4.0 nationally.
To put that in perspective:
1. 12.8 is the highest opening weekend rating for the Houston market. Ever.
2. 12.8 is 50% higher than A&M-Bama in 2015 at 8.5. That game was the top rated game all regular season in the Houston market.
3. 4.0 nationally is higher than any Big 12 regular season game in 2015. Compare OU-Baylor at 3.8 and Texas-OU at 3.3
Anyone who says Houston doesn't care about UH, or that UH cannot help the Big 12 recapture the Houston market from the SEC, is just ignorant.

I'd like to see them sustain success a few more years,
Agreed that is the big question. TCU has Patterson. That is why we were able to sustain our success. Will be a big reason if they are able to.Boomhauer said:Again, would wait a year to see if Herman stays

We won't worry about that until 2022 or longer. You're worrying about Herman hitching the next camel out of Houston in 3 months.HoustonVeer said:
You think TCU is going back to wandering the desert when Patterson leaves?
I'd be worried we'd take a step back depending on the hire, but TCU has established itself as a destination job at this point. We can recruit at a mid/high level consistently and the program has been strong for over a decade.HoustonVeer said:You think TCU is going back to wandering the desert when Patterson leaves?
