Houston saw an unprecedented construction of sports stadiums in the first decade of the 21st Century. Other cities can now boast three "new" stadiums for baseball, basketball and football, but no city opened them up like Houston did from 2000-2003. It was because of these three new buildings Houston was able to host some of the country's most important sporting events. more...

Tournament of BCS

So another slate of bowls has been set, and the debate continues on how to fix what many believe is a broken system. I have my own thoughts on the BCS. For the most part, I think it gets it right, however the field isn't even for teams that are not part of a "BCS Conference".

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...

I don't know if you are aware, but Houston has quietly built itself a very respectable collegiate bowl game in the Texas Bowl.

If you want to get an idea of how bad things were, you can more...
Houston, we have a legitimate Bowl

For the past two years, I have had the honor of volunteering my time to the Texas Bowl. As you can imagine, a Houston bowl game would be something that is right up my alley. Every year, it is an amazing opportunity for the city to strut its stuff for a national audience. It also gives us the chance to show other cities exactly how a bowl should be run. I know, I know, more...

Just received an email from an official with the Texas Bowl. I will write more when details appear in the Chronicle. Just want to thank everyone I worked with on this exciting event, as well as, the great people of Houston for making it such a success. Some great news – we are making a donation to DePelchin Children’s Center today at noon – we hopefully will get more...
