Houston Baptist (2/15/10)

[CMJ]

We step out of league play one last time for a return trip to HB. We've now won 6 of 7. Let's see if we can keep it going.

I'll be there.

I tried to call the HBU Athletic Dept. on Friday to find out about tickets - there's no info on their web site - and I got a voicemail system. No one called me back. Does anyone have any info?

Anyone want to get together after the game? How about at the bar at the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza (formerly the Embassy Suites) on the outbound side of 59, just after Gessner? I wanted to set up an Alumni Association "meet & greet", but just never had time.

The address for the HI Crowne Plaza is:

9090 Southwest Freeway

Houston TX 77074

Our game at HBU has no television (shocking, I know) and Houston Baptist doesn't appear to offer any sort of web stream or video. So this one isn't a candidate for ChannelSurfing.

But, the ASU/ULM game is at Arkansas State, and they do offer a web feed. I know I've seen a few games at Jonesboro on ChannelSurfing this year, so keep an eye out for it.

Odds aren't good for the upset... ULM is on a 2 game winning streak and beat WKU, but they may not have Tony Hooper (missed both games with an ankle problem and still questionable vs. ASU). Even if they do have him... They haven't won a game in Jonesboro in 25 years.

Keep your fingers crossed, but realistically, hope that ULM keeps it close and the Red Wolves have to play their starters for hard, extended minutes.

Can you PM me the directions to the Gym? Isn't Hou Baptist off of Fondren and 59 south?

I expect he's here somewhere. We're kind of spread out. I'm sitting near EdCollopy.

Tell Deep I miss him in the chat. Maybe give him a hug as well.

We started slow (like always) but we are really starting to flex our muscles right now.
