Alright, let me tell you about my little side project: trying to figure out what’s going on with the Houston Hilltoppers football team. I mean, you know, just for fun.
First off, I started by doing the most basic thing: Googling “Houston Hilltoppers football.” I wanted to find their official website, roster, schedule – the usual stuff. Sifting through the search results, I finally landed on what looked like the official athletic department page.
Next, I spent some time poking around that website. I was hoping to find some recent news, maybe game highlights, anything to get a sense of how they’re doing this season. The schedule was key; I wanted to see who they were playing, what their record was so far, and if there were any upcoming games I might try to catch.
Then, I dove into the roster. Figured I’d see who the key players are, their positions, maybe even some stats if I was lucky. Usually, college teams have bios for their players, so that’s what I was looking for.
After that, I tried to find some game footage. YouTube is usually a goldmine for that kind of thing. I searched for “Houston Hilltoppers football highlights” and started watching whatever came up. I wanted to get a feel for their play style, their strengths and weaknesses.
To take it a step further, I checked out some local news websites. Often, they’ll have articles about the team, especially if they’re having a good season or there’s some kind of interesting story surrounding them. This helps me get a feel for the local buzz around the team.

And that’s pretty much it. I still don’t know much but it’s been fun figuring things out about the team!
