Rockets Bounce Back Against the Kings. Now 8 – 6 on the Season.

A few games ago the Rockets went into Sacramento and lost to the Kings. They were looking for some redemption and a bounce back win after losing a heartbreaker the night before to Atlanta. It didn’t hurt that Tyreke Evans, who had a 20 in the last meeting, missed the game with an injury but the Kings size would still give the Rockets plenty of problems.

Coogs Basketball Can’t Get Out of an Early Hole Against Nevada…

The Coogs basketball team stopped off in Nevada on their way to Alaska tonight to take on the Wolfpack. Apparently the bus with the defense arrived a little after the rest of the convoy.

Coogs Stay Atop C-USA West Division with Win Over Memphis…

The Houston Cougars hosted the Memphis Tigers Saturday needing a win to stay in the hunt for the C-USA’s West Division title. They also needed a little help from SMU who was a game ahead of the Coogs at the start of the day.  

Rockets Beat the Terrible Timberwolves, 7 – 5 on the Season…

I honestly don’t even know if this game deserves to be written about. It was disgusting and painful to waatch. I guess I’ll just put out the sort of effort the Rockets did tonight; I’ll get the job done but it may be ugly.

Coogs Men’s Basketball Wins Big in 1st Game…

With the Coogs football team being toppled on Saturday and all hopes of a BCS Bowl game and a Heisman trophy for Case Keenum gone, we have to turn (part of) our attention to the basketball court. The Coogs opened the 2009 – 2010 season with a home game against Nicholls State and came away with a 90 – 62 victory.

Rockets Miss a Chance to Make an Early Statement, 6 – 5 on the Year Now.

The Houston Rockets hosted the 9 – 2 Phoenix Suns last night. Coming off a win in LA over the Lakers, this game was a great chance for the young Rockets to make an early statement to the rest of the league that they can beat anybody. A win would also have kept Houston within a game of the division-leading Dallas Mavericks but it was not to be.

Coogs Fall to #24 in the BCS After 2nd Loss…

I have to admite that I am surprised that the Coogs are still in the top 25 after losing to Central Florida on Saturday. That was a crushing loss for UH because they were poised for a Top Ten BCS finish. They were not going to get a BCS Bowl game because of TCU and Boise State but it would have given the program a lot of momentum for the future to get a big time bowl and a Top 10 ranking to start the season next year with Case Keenum and most of the starters coming back. Now it looks like they’ll have to start from the rear next year again and jump a few non-BCS teams to get that payday.

Rockets Salvage an Otherwise Dismal Weekend for Houston Sports….

The Houston Rockets went into LA last night looking for a win to stay above .500 and stop their 2-game slide. Not only did the Rockets need the win but I needed it. After watching the Rockets lose to the Kings on Friday night, the Dynamo get robbed of a win against the LA Galaxy later that night and the Houston Cougars fall to Central Florida Saturday, my blog and I were in desperate need of something positive to write about.

Rockets Have One of Those Nights Against the Kings. Drop to 5 – 4 on the Year.

The Rockets went to Sacramento on Friday night to take on the Kings who were on a 3 game winning streak. It would prove to be “one of those nights” as the Rockets couldn’t make a layup while the Kings were throwing up prayers with the shot clock expiring that seemed to go in every time.

Dynamo Get Robbed by Referee, Lights Out on the 2009 Season…

It was a misty, foggy night in LA on Friday and the Dynamo faces were destined to match the weather by the 120th minute of the match. The game was physical and hotly contested from start to finish but the Galaxy would escape with the 2 – 0 victory and a trip to the MLS Championship game.
