Sam Houston State (11/20/08)

CMJ · November 18, 2008

SHSU is almost a conference member for us this year since we play them home and away. I sure would like to win both. I'll need to do some research on them, but I figure this should be a tough road game for us(those old Southland rivals usually are).

Anybody from Houston gonna make this trip? I think I might be going, gotta check the schedule.

where is sam houston and how far is it from denton?

MDH · November 18, 2008

It's in Huntsville which is little over 200 miles away towards Houston

And yes, these games won't be easy.

My son and I are going to the game. We live only about an hour away in Kingwood. We are meeting my cousin who was a big booster for Sam from his day as the local Chevy dealer. They beat tech at home last year and lost to them in Lubock last night,

I'm thinking about it; I won't know if I can take the time off until tomorrow. Anyone else from Sugar Land or SW Houston going?

The last time I tried to head north on I-45 was the Friday of Homecoming weekend. I left Sugar Land at 2:15 and didn't get to Huntsville until around 5:00. Needless to say, I didn't make it to Denton in time for the bonfire. I took the Hardy Toll Road, and that was OK, but the traffic on I-45 from the Woodlands through Conroe took forever. It was still a bit slow past Conroe until after Huntsville. Who knows how long it might take during rush hour?

Take the Beltway to 249 which changes to 1173 (I think) in Magnolia. Follow this north to Plantersville and turn east on 105 into Conroe. Then head north on 45.

Alright fellas...game is about to start.

Alright fellas...game is about to start.

CMJ - sorry. I just started a "gametime comments" for this game... I scanned the topics and didn't see anything... I should have used this thread.

CMJ · November 21, 2008

It's alright...just figured it'd be better to keep it one thread. No worries....we'll use the other one.

TheTastyGreek · November 21, 2008

Unusual starting five...

White and Dennis not a surprise, but McCoy and Hogans are. Odufuwa starting at 5 rather than 4 this time.

chrisfisher · November 21, 2008

Just keep this thread going.. No problem....... BTW, McCoy the the start... everyone, including me, thought he should.... hopefully he'll produce.

CMJ · November 21, 2008

15:43 1st half

NT 9

Bad Guys 5

McCoy with 3 fouls already.

chrisfisher · November 21, 2008

McCoy doesn't seem to take advantage of his opportunities... he finally gets the start, and picks up 3 quick fouls... aside from his 1 "perfect game" he seems to have some bad luck when opportunities come his way... we know he is a superior athlete but he just cant seem to put it together on the floor.... I hope that this changes this game.

No surprise to me.... the good players always have a great game following a lousy one... I think Johnson could end being a great one for us... time will tell.
