Fans will get an inside look at UH’s football program as it’s featured on ESPNU’s All-Access, set to air at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday. Reruns of the show are scheduled for 10:30 p.m. Wednesday and 1:30 a.m. Dec. 1.
An ESPN crew from the show was on campus Tuesday to catch a glimpse of the daily life of the program’s student athletes. Cameras followed UH players as they attended classes, spread out across Houston for community service projects, ate lunch at Cougar Woods Dining Hall, gave a tour of the UH football stadium construction site and attended team meetings before ending the day off with practice.
ESPNU can be found on DirecTV (208/1208), Dish Network (141), AT&T U-Verse (605/1605) and Comcast (125/725).
UH tennis grabs star signing class
After putting together the sixth-best recruiting class in the nation and the top among all mid-majors during last year’s signing period, UH has brought another group of athletes during the early signing period.
Angela Lorenzo, Carolina Costamagna and Mina Markovic have all signed National Letters of Intent to continue their amateur tennis careers at UH, beginning in the 2014-15 academic year.
“We are thrilled with these girls and think they are every bit as strong as last year’s top-10 class,” said head coach Patrick Sullivan.
UH will stay true to its current mold of bringing in international athletes, as not one member of the current squad is originally from the United States.
