I've been unofficially keeping track of my two favorite football teams over the years, and only now have put them side by side. Every time UH football lost, Denver usually won, and vice versa.
Although I'm probably jinxing them on Sunday, here's what I've found through their records over the last 10 years. Just a coincidence?? I know I'm pushing it, but ah, who knows...
