HOUSTON -- DANA HOLGORSEN is putting his Houston football team through its paces during a spring practice at the school's indoor facility.
On one end of the field, Houston's 11 conference championship seasons are posted in red letters against the wall. At the other end, Houston's 30 bowl appearances are listed. While the accomplishments of the past are never out of view, there is an eagerness in the air to capture an even brighter future, a sense that bigger and better things are ahead.
When the doors swing open and practice moves outside, it's a surprisingly sunny day with some light clouds and a nice breeze in the city's Third Ward, and the energy ramps up.
