Houston students camping out to get tickets for opener vs. Oklahoma
In one week the college football season will kick off with one of the best opening weeks ever.
One of those games features No. 15 Houston facing No. 3 Oklahoma at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
Although it's technically a "neutral site" game, meaning there are a finite number of tickets allocated to students at each school, Houston students aren't messing around.
Students began lining up early ahead of the 6 p.m. ET distribution Saturday. The line then turned into a typical afternoon before Cougars games, which included tailgating in full gear.
Houston head coach Tom Herman made an appearance and promised pizza for the more than 1,000 students in line.
