Turned 50 today. One of the great athletes to represent our city. They've been showing some old Rockets games on the NBA channel.
I finally got around to reading his autobiography. Finished it in a few days last Fall. It was a terrific read and great insight on his upbringing in Nigeria with all the hurdles he had to cover just to get to U of H! The rest was history, a great man and awesome inspiration for the immigrant wanting to find success in this nation of ours.
anyone see that Brian Cushing is selling his home in Houston? Not sure if that means anything though.
The rockets beat utah by 45 points last night. I can't figure this team out; their either hot or cold.
Setting the record for Utah's worst home loss ever makes this season an automatic success. Anything else they do this year is gravy.
That raping that occurred last night is only legal in specific Utah counties. Harden would have gotten arrested in Houston for that. Lol
It turns out that J.J. Watt is not only a bad ass on the football field, but a pretty cool dude as well. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-s...iage-proposal-six-old-fan-150358259--nfl.html
New Orleans pulls a LA Galaxy by forgetting to pay the electricity bill. BTW, Jacoby Jones still sucks. He fumbled that punt last year against Baltimore and now he's leading the Ravens to winning the Super Bowl.
The Superdome is over 40 years old. Can we has Super Bowl now? Vonta Leach got a ring. That's cool. Jacoby sucked here, but some of the fan reaction was way over the top.
Was it just me or did Alicia Keyes rendition of the national anthem remind anyone of Bill Murray's lounge singer bit from Saturday Night Live?
Houston Hurricanes FC President Brendan Keyes has announced that his NPSL team will play their home games at Lutheran South Academy for the next five years. "We are delighted," Keyes said. "It was our first choice right from the beginning. Lutheran run a great program and soccer is big part of the private school." "We are happy to work with such a prestigious club as the Hurricanes FC with a rich history in the game of soccer in Houston and Texas," Lutheran Academy Director of Athletics Rob Psencik commented. "Bringing them in can only help our guys get better." "When Brendan told me the news I was elated, it was our goal to play here and it’s always great to get what you want," Head Coach Thiago Reis stated. "I am very happy to be playing at Lutheran South Academy, a school with a fantastic academic program and a man in charge of the Athletics Department that has the vision we share. The facility offers 2,000 seats for fans and supporters of the Hurricanes. "The buzz is great at the moment and we can’t wait to get started in our new home," Keyes added.
Our old NASL Hurricane lasted 3 pro seasons. Our old USL Hurricanes lasted 6. Get 'er done Keyes cuz this version better last 7+. The sport has advanced that far. DALE HOUSTON! btw......our old Supporters Group, ALICIA'S BOYZ, was called after our famous Hurricane Alicia in 1983 that tore the shit outta whomever is in its path! We all know, Hurricanes in Gulf Coast USA can rip the shit outta your town. Our old school logo was a skull WWII fighter pilot with a soccer scarf staring down his fighter plane's crosshairs. I will look to dig that image outta my archives.
Rockets raped tonight. I was there to witness the 23 3 pointers. GS didn't allow us to break the record though.
