A furniture store owner in Houston has turned his stores into shelters to help evacuees.

Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale of Gallery Furniture said after the storm hit Houston, he gathered volunteers and his trucks to rescue people.

"We had several Penske rental trucks, 24-foot trucks that you can get in any flooded street. We sent volunteers out in Houston picking up people," McIngvale said.

I wonder if anyone has reached out to him and ask him to join the new Letterman's Association? 

It's a tough sell. UNT did their best for a long time to make Letterman unwelcome. Most guys I know are interested in the Football Club but not the Letterman's association. (But that's only for ex players, coaches, trainers, equipment managers.)

      What is this program missing?

      I hate to help you out in any way, but Houston had some pretty signature wins back in the 60's that got them noticed. They beat #3 Michigan State 37-7 in 1967, in 68 they tied #4 Texas and #7 Georgia, and beat Tulsa a NCAA record 100-6. Those were the days of Warren McVea and the veer.

      We can hate on him but I do think he makes solid points. It is somewhat helpful to have an outside perspective that isn’t drinking the green kool-aid. (Although it crosses a line if that person starts kicking us while we’re down-which I don’t think he’s done in this post). So this offseason/next year looks like the following: -give morris another year to see what he can build -hire a new defensive coordinator -hopefully hang on to Chandler Morris and Sheffield -pray for a healthy RB room Anything I’m missing? This year: Still think a bowl win gives the program some momentum going into next year. Maybe my expectations grew too large after that 5-1 start, but man there was a glaring need defensively that was not addressed. The offense has also just fallen off a cliff.

      My son likes the basketball games more than the football games because they are quicker and not an all day affair like football has become with the television time outs.
