Hey Man,
The F1 season ended today in Brazil. Webber finally got a win, Vettel still got second with a sick car and Button managed third. Bernie said all the Austin Texas GP lacked was money and a pen. F1 in the USA for 2012 looks bad.
Now for your Houston Cougar baskeball. TCU beat us at the buzzer in the Hof. The team is getting better and I think we will be a lot better before we start conference play.
How about that football win in Tulsa! That was a blast. We had a watch party in here in Houston. Our friends that went reported that the Tulsa fans were gracious and wished us well in the BCS.
But to get to that BCS Bowl we have to beat Southern Miss. Since the foundation of C-USA Southern Miss has been the most successful team. The C-USA Championship games is this next Saturday @ 11a.m. in the Rob. We will be there tailgating early. All the projections are still favoring Michigan winning out to improve their ranking so they can go to the Sugar Bowl. If they don't Houston will probably face K-State in the sugar Bowl. Of all the possible bowls Houston might get a trip back to New Orleans sounds best.
Your Houston Cougar defense has really improved as the season progressed. Look at how Houston beat Tulsa compared to OU,OSU, or Boise.
See you at the game!
cheers

College Sports Wrap Up Nov 20th
Hey Man,
What a week to be a Houston Cougar!
The basketball team is undefeated in it's first three games. Friday night the Coogs beat Arkansas up there!
Houston Cougar basketball is back in a big way. Alandise Harris is all over video with his dunk.
Houston Cougar football is back in a big this season. 11-0 ties us for the best record with LSU.
The Houston Cougars are now 8th in the BCS standings. We need a playoff in college football and even Houston hater Craig James used Houston as an example tonight if we had a top 8 playoff.
This Friday afternoon your Houston Cougars face Tulsa up there to finish the regular season.
A win puts Houston in the conference championship game at home in the Rob. A win there gives Houston the conference championship and a BCS bowl berth.
The fun factor around town is great all season. This week College Game Day broadcast from UH for the first time. The Corso "aw ****" video is burning up the internet.
cheers

Motor Sports Wrap Up For Nov 20th
Hey Man,
NASCAR just finished and it was great. The points were the closest in NASCAR history. Smoke thanked the Man upstairs and his crew. Tony Stewart got up on the wheel and drove it old school. Tony talked about how he asked his hero AJ Foyt for permission to use his number 14 on the car. Tony Stewart as partner in Stewart-Haas became the first owner/driver to win the championship since Alan Kulwicki won in 1992. Richard Petty is the only other man to win the championship as an owner/driver in the modern era.
Carl Edwards showed resolve and in the end showed championship class. Stewart got track position with a risky pit strategy and Carl could not run him down. Carl Edwards was the first to congratulate Tony on his win. You would not see that from Havrick.
The F1 season has one race left next week. But now most of the actionis the politics of F1. F1 got it's deal in NYC so they are snubbing Texas. That will carry over in the statewide elections in 2012 if the F1 race and track don't happen.
It's Thanksgiving week in Houston and that means AUTORAMA.
cheers

Houston Cougar Sports Wrap Up for Nov 13th 2012
Hey Man,
What a great weekend to be a Houston Cougar. We drove up Thursday morning and had a great time. We stayed in a small hotel near the Quarter and found many of the guest to parents, in-laws or spouses of team members. Cougar fans appeared to out number Tulane fans buy a large margin in the Super Dome. We got half price tickets from an older man and they were real. We met a surprising number of UH alumni who live in the Big Easy, both at the game and out in the Quarter. The Cougars won 73 to 17 and our coach played everyone but me.
So on 11-11-2011 we were 11th in the BCS and after the win we still are. BUT now ESPN & CBS project us to play Alabama in the Sugar Bowl! That is a big change from the Beef O'Brady Bowl a few days ago.
It is a good thing we went for the weekend. We have found new to us places like the Erin Rose & Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Pub. Everybody was friendly and the food was great. After the game bar owners, whiskey reps and future Big East opponents bought us drinks for being Houston Cougars.
All we need now is for our Cougars to win out and have our first perfect season.
While we were driving back, The Houston Cougar basket ball team won their opener against Grambling State.
What is next?
Monday night Utah Vally comes to play the Cougars.
Tuesday night The Pulse radio show with Kevin Sumlin will have it's last scheduled broadcast of the season from the Ragin Cajun on Richmond.
Then ESPN Game Day before the Technology Alumni Tailgate and the game against SMU.
At the SMU game the Cougars will have a shot at breaking the record for the most consecutive 700+ yard games. The current record belongs to Hawaii under Coach June Jones.
cheers

Motor Sports Wrap up for Nov 13th
Hey Man,
The F1 race was too early this morning. But I caught the start live. After Vettel cut a right rear tire and spun off track on the first lap things got racy. The race ended with Hamilton, Alonso and Button on the podium.
Williams admits to talks with Raikkonen and is urged by some to sign him.
The NASCAR CHASE continues. Kyle Petty said today this was kind of a throwback battle. That is because Edwards and Stewart are racing each other with respect like his father The King and David Pearson did.
Next week in Florida for the championship between Edwards and Stewart should be a great race.
Kahne won today in a hard fought win. The Red Bull team is up for sale and their crew isn't quitting, they are working hard. That deserves respect. Let's hope the people at NASCAR Team Red Bull find a new owner to save their jobs.
The NHRA finals are still going on.
cheers

Happy Veterans Day belated post
Hey Man,
Happy Veterans Day and thank you to all our Vets.
I just got back in town so please forgive me being a couple of days late.
I spent Veterans Day in New Orleans, home of the The National WWII Museum.
It was a wonderful day long experience. My late father was in the Navy in WWII. His cousin was a civilian POW on the Bataan Death March. It was a moving experience. I recommend visiting if you can.

Nov 7th Sports Wrap Up
Hey Man!
It was another great weekend for your Houston Cougars. The team is now a school best 9-0. Case Keenum passed Timmy Chang for total yardage and now may have the record for the most records by a QB.
I watched the game @ No Label Brewing in Katy. What a great time. The UH Technology and communication Alumni had their watch parties there. The BBQ fund raiser was by Crosspoint Church and it was terrific.
Thank you No Label.
After the Coogs game and during half time I saw some of the so called game of the century, ZZZZZZZZZZ. Early poll show most do not want a rematch.
In NASCAR we saw Tony Stewart dominate most of the race from Texas. He is now only three points behind Carl Edwards. The race from Texas was much more interesting than what I saw of the game of the century.
Oh well time to hit the road.
cheers
