  • University of Houston Oral History of Houston Project Bill Worrell Interview
    HHA #01111 Interviewee: Worrell, Bill Interview: October 11th, 2016 1 of 15 University of Houston Oral History of Houston Project Bill Worrell Interview Interviewee: Bill Worrell Interview Date: October 11, 2016 Place: University of Houston, Alumni Building Interviewer: Nathan Fannon Transcriber: Nathan Fannon Keywords: Houston, University of Houston, Cougars, Rockets, Fox Sports Southwest, Root Sports, Broadcast, Color Commentator, Basketball, Houston Rockets, Houston Comets, Hakeem Olajuwon, Elvin Hayes, James Harden, Toyota Center, The Summit, Compaq Center, Houston Astros, Bill Worrell, Clyde Drexler, Championship, National Basketball Association, Women’s National Basketball Association, Los Angeles Lakers, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O’Neal, UCLA, San Antonio, Ralph O’Connor, Billy Goldberg, Mickey Hurskowitz, Levitt Hill, Abstract: On October 11, 2016, Nathan Fannin interviewed Bill Worrell to discuss his career in broadcast and professional basketball in Houston. Worrell speaks about his beginnings at the University of Houston, and current involvement with the university, his early broadcasting days with KPRC, and eventually commentating professional baseball and basketball for the Astros and Rockets. After competing with the University of Houston to gain fans in the city, Worrell points to Elvin Hayes as the prospect that brought interest to the Houston Rockets after they moved from San Diego in the 1960s. He also recounts the excitement of the first season in Houston, advancing to the NBA Finals after clinching playoff contention on the final day of the season. Also, the Worrell discussed the Rockets mobility as the team had no one designated arena, playing in Hofheinz Pavilion, Astro Arena, as well as in Waco and San Antonio. The success of the Rockets in the late 1980s to mid-1990s raking in two back-to-back championships, and the Houston Comets winning four championships beginning with the inaugural season of the WNBA, rank among some of the greatest achievements of long-time owner Leslie Alexander.

  • Cougar Football Tradition
    • The University of Houston is one of only 12 schools in the nation to have won both a Heisman Trophy (Andre Ware, 1989) and a Lombardi Award (Wilson Whitley, 1976). • Andre Ware (2004) became the second Cougar to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, joining former UH head coach Bill Yeoman (2001) in the illustrious hall. • Houston has played in 16 bowl games TRADITION in its 60-year history, an average of one every four years. • With their 45-0 win over Louisiana-Lafayette in 1999, the Cougars now have over 300 wins since starting football in 1946. • Under the guidance of former UH head coach COUGAR FOOTBALL Bill Yeoman, the Cougars captured Cotton Bowl championships in both 1977 and 1980. • Coach Yeoman revolutionized college foot- ball in the spring of 1964, when he invented WARE the Veer-T option formation. It would be the offensive juggernaut Yeoman was seeking and catapulted him to 160 wins, four Southwest Conference titles and 18 winning seasons in 25 years of coaching the Cougars. 1977 COTTON BOWL WHITLEY BILL YEOMAN DANNY DAVIS • Jack Pardee, Coach Yeoman’s successor in 1987, also changed the way college football was to be played. He brought the high-octane, “blow up the scoreboard” mentality of the Run- and-Shoot offense to the Houston campus. • The Cougars at one time held 78 individual and 31 team NCAA records. • Former cougar quarterback David Klingler still holds sev- eral individual NCAA passing marks such as most yards in a game (716), most yard in an 11-game season (5,140), most attempts in a season (643) and most touchdown passes in a quarter (6), game (11) and a season (54).
