This appears to be the case...having something to do with games times. UH would let them know once the game time was decided and apparently when they let Tech know they couldn’t hash out an agreement afterwards.
Lol don’t hold your breath

Have no idea if that was the intended message. Maybe anti suicide? Or, maybe thought it was a cool phrase.
Edit: just saw post about this.

Nobody at Tech should be wearing white.

Well, maybe a few frontiersmen or other non-Comanche people who were either (1) very alert, stealthy, and careful; (2) in deep doo-doo; or (3) dead. Maybe all 3, serially. T.R. Fehrenbach (sp?) is an entertaining resource for information on this sort of thing.

Houston is being soooo petty, and I’m here for it. College sports and pettiness go hand-in-hand. Especially among old SWC rivals.
Sidebar—that should be a fun game to watch. 3:15 on FOX, so should wrap up in time for TCU-OSU.

Because we all know that slavery started during the american civil war.

Wiley, pay attention. We're not talking about slavery here. Talking about growing cotton in West Texas in the early/mid 1800's. My great-great-great grandfather and family moved out to the area around Rotan in 1880, and introduced the idea of cotton growing there. Don't think it was different elsewhere in west Texas.
. Again, when did growing cotton in west Texas start. Not slavery.
My great-grandfather moved to Winters about the same time, as Reconstruction had stripped Tennessee bare. My grandmother used to tell me stories about picking cotton - in their fields and neighbors' fields - from dawn to dusk. Missed so much school doing it she didn't graduate high school until she was 20 or 21.

Unless you're REAL old, your grandmother wasn't picking cotton during civil war days.

Nothing petty at all about this. Game is at 3pm in Lubbock. If you have the choice, you’re wearing white in that heat. By rule UH has the choice.

Tech asked Houston if the Coogs would be willing to wear charcoal and let Tech wear white. In other words, Tech did not want Houston to even wear home red!
Houston said it would depend on the game time. Even though historical weather reports are available for the second Saturday in Sept, there was no way for Houston to know really how hot is was going to be that far out.
Once the game time was set for 3PM, Houston let Tech know (in the summer) that they did not want to switch. As is our right.
Finally, let's not forget Texas Tech wore black for their "Cotton" game in 2014 vs Arkansas. It's not decreed that they must wear white to celebrate Cotton growers. They are free to wear black on Saturday again.
The fact that Tech is trying to make Houston look bad in the press over this is petty and reflects poorly on them.
