I have been involved with Houston's annual collegiate bowl since its inception in 2006. The Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas is a celebration of the Culture, Heritage and Football Tradition of the Lone Star State. Over the past five years, it has become one of the most successful post season games in the country. This is a great testament to the people who have been more...
Lions and Texans and Bills, Oh My!

Three games into the season, and I am ready to roll with the Fire Kubiak Bandwagon. I know, I know, losing to the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome is rarely a cause for concern. However, in all three games this season, I have seen the same lethargic, impotent play that has been the hallmark of Gary Kubiak's tenure as coach of the Houston Texans. I was not more...

Texas college football is in serious trouble. It's heart and soul, the rivalry between the University of Texas and Texas A&M is in serious jeopardy. The Aggies are heading to the Southeastern Conference, likely ending it's in-state rivalry with the Longhorns. Just when their annual match-up returned to Thanksgiving, it's over. It's a shocking move by a school that more...

I apologize for the delay in getting you my final report on the Houston Texans season. You see, during the 48 hours that included the end of the NFL regular season and the Fiesta Bowl, I lost everything in football I hold dear. There are three moments in my personal sports history when I have been reduced to tears. 1. "The Comeback" (Buffalo Bills rally from 35-3 to more...

This is how I opened last week's post about the Texans' playoff chances. So the Texans won yesterday, beating the St. Louis Rams 16-13, and kept themselves in the hunt for a playoff spot. Yes, it’s true, the Texans still have a shot at the playoffs. I’ll be honest, I’m incredibly doubtful, but let’s break it down. Now for this week's post. So the Texans got more...

So the Texans got lucky won yesterday, beating the St. Louis Rams 16-13, and kept themselves in the hunt for a playoff spot. Yes, it's true, the Texans still have a shot at the playoffs. I'll be honest, I'm incredibly doubtful, but let's break it down. Currently, there are 6 teams, including the Texans, with a record of 7-7. Any of these teams will have to win their final more...
Monday Night Flop

Truth be known, I missed the first half of the Texans Monday Night Football game against the Titans because I was catching up on Grey's Anatomy on my DVR. Say what you will, but I'll tell you, this season of Grey's has been a helluva lot more entertaining than the Texans season. Apparently I was one of the few people in Houston who wasn't heartbroken over the Texans loss more...
