WBSKB- Rice vs Texas State, Rice wins 73-66. Rice moves to 5-5 on the season.

   This game had an interesting sidebar, coach against former player (Rice Owl Co Greg Williams and Texas State Co Zenarae Antoine, a first for Co Williams). It also marked the first game one Jessica Kuster. One connection banded them all together, basketball and of course Colorado State Rams. After coming into a situation where they only won five games last year. Co Zenarae Antoine has already got the Texas State Lady Bobcats at 4-4. The season is looking up.

Texas State Lady Bobcats- A Local Connection

  It's very seldom that you have a college come into town with this much local female talent. It's almost like they took home on the road. And at Texas State University that's what they did. The Lady Bobcats boast a bevy of team talent. With five players and a coach from this area, four from Houston and two from Katy, (including the new Head Coach). They each have a story to tell, here them out.

  By the way they are in Houston to play the Rice Lady Owls on Friday night.

2012 Homecoming, PV Panthers hosting Alabama A&M Bulldogs.

   Homecoming should be about family, friends getting together to have fun. And when it involves a school homecoming, in some ways it has special meaning to those involved. both teams got off to a slow start. First half ends with a 3-0 Bulldog lead. The Bulldogs start the second half with 14 unanswered points. PV counters with a safety, score is 17-2 Bulldogs, end of third. The safety gives PV life as they get 13 in the 4th qtr. But, it is no avail. A fumble by PV with 21 seconds left in the game finishes their chance of pulling off a victory. Final score 17-15 Alabama A&M.

Are the COOGS really headed to the Big East?

   Finally the Cougars have a football invitation. But it’s not to the BIGXII; it’s to the Big East. Where they become a part of a BCS AQ (Automatic Qualifier) conference. With that invitation, comes a whole lot of responsibility. Financial responsibility, time gather up the pride and start sending in those dollars. Talking time is over, Robertson and Hofheinz are now about to be put on as fast a renovation track as possible. Just because you’ve been invited, doesn’t mean you can wait around anymore. But wait, hold everything, Missouri has announced that they will be moving to The SEC. Doesn’t that leave only nine schools in the BIGXII. Somebody has to fill that spot, and soon, very soon. Well folks looks like 2011 is shaping up to put institutions of higher learning in position to have their BCS bowl affiliations contract renewals ducks in a row for the year 2014, or is it 2013. No matter, right now it is about conference survival. It’s who will have the allotted school numbers to keep their AQ status. Yeah, I hear my compardres talk about AAU (American Academic University) school affiliations. That doesn’t amount to a hill of beans. When it comes to the public, football is relevant, period. And now, I’m headed to a cattle call seeking answers and will probably leave with more questions. My head is spinning round and round.
