I got an update yesterday about the Texas Bowl I would like to share with you. If Navy beats Temple tomorrow in Annapolis, they will stamp their ticket to the 2009 Texas Bowl. While it would appear inevitable the Midshipmen will be playing in Houston in December, it is still important for them to book their tickets as soon as possible to start building momentum for this more...

A Clinical Season

This is going to be a real hard season to be a fan of the Houston Rockets. It's not that the team is going to be bad, quite the contrary.

If you want to get an idea of how bad things were, you can more...

I wrote two weeks ago that I was no longer a fan of the Houston Texans. I was being mildly facetious, but have still rather enjoyed the freedom of not having to think about the Texans over these past two Sundays. However, I got weak yesterday, and fell into watching another game in which the Texans exhibited everything that makes them exciting and, ultimately, more...
