The Houston Cougars are coming off a wildly-successful college football season that ended with a conference championship and a victory over Florida State in the Peach Bowl. Now the Cougs are being thought of as a potential playoff-caliber team heading to the 2016 season.
With the bar raised for Tom Herman’s team, they are still finding ways to lighten things up this spring. For example, two players just suited up in Easter bunny costumes to take part in the circle drill.

There is no word on which players were put in the bunny costumes, but it looks like those costumes were lacking in sufficient padding. Then again, who knows for sure. Either way, everyone had a good laugh.
What we would really like to see would be the Houston mascot, who is not one to back down from a fight, enter the circle drill against an Easter bunny.
