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
the electricAlan
