I am putting something together for my FIL and am looking for a "family portrait" of the original Big XII teams.

For reference, it would be like this...



Thanks

Ask Clucky. He draws things, usually for free.

UofH didn't get accepted into the SWC until about 1960-62, or thereabouts. They were in the Missouri Valley Conference for most of their early years. They applied to both the SEC and the SWC a few times before the SWC finally accepted.

Some good answers, but no winner, yet. Still looking for the original members of the Big XII.

Almost got it right...

Prior to 1960, Houston was a member of several athletic conferences including the Lone Star Conference, Gulf Coast Conference, and Missouri Valley Conference. From 1960 until 1971, Houston competed as an independent. From 1971 until 1996, Houston's sports teams were a part of the Southwest Conference. After the dissolution of that conference in 1996, the Cougars became charter members of Conference USA. Houston remained a member of Conference USA until 2013

My bad for relying on wiki. Some serious problems with their UofH football history page.

Houston joined the SWC for football in 1976. I still have nightmare about that game in Rice Stadium when they beat us 21-10. They also won the Cotton Bowl that year.

UH won the conference in their first year of participation in the SWC, as mentioned 76'.

Sips never wanted them in the conference.

This looks like Thundercats mated with college football and shat out retarded butt babies.

OU does have 2 costumed horse mascots named Boomer and Sooner (this is about as creative as trailer trash gets)
