Houston Cougars fans watched their undefeated season come to an end at Space City Financial Stadium on Saturday. Their hopes of upsetting Texas Tech, who was also undefeated, came up well short of the mark.
Watching your team get destroyed on their own field isn’t any fun. Frustrations among the Cougar faithful boiled over at one point during the game and fans ended up turning on each other. If their team wasn’t going to show much fight, they were.
It’s not clear from the footage of the fans trading punches what set the brawl off, but there were several Cougars fans involved and one who was thoroughly outmatched.

He had a walk of shame on legs made of jello to make with a ripped shirt on. He was dazed, he had handcuffs on his wrists and blood on his face.
The other fan, who delivered the punishment, took his walk in handcuffs like a championship fighter who won a belt. He let out a few “Let’s go Coogs!”
