UH > Rice (and all other Houston sports)

The joy of the zoom out?  All the seats look filled. Kinda. It’s the little victories that count the most.  The moral victories are the most satisfying.  Not the “duck mascot face-banging yours on the sideline of a nationally televised game” defeats (those don’t really matter and quite possibly proved scintillating for Furries across the [...]

Rice Offense Now Lighter, Fluffier.

Head coach Buddy Hackett David Bailiff has hired Orville Redenbacher Ed Zaunbrecher as the new offensive coordinator of the Rice Owls. Rice, who lost both their offensive coordinator and their receivers coach this off season, hopes to continue Rice’s offensive inferiority to the University of Houston this season. Redenbacher, who came from Purdue, has coached [...]

Rafer, Wafer Get Job Done

T-Mac and Artest seem to be on the verge of coming back in the next week just as Rockets are playing some of their best basketball.  They’ve won three in a row, the last coming against the hated Jazz.  There’s a possibility that Jerry Sloan is solely responsible for my personal bias against the Jazz.  [...]

Penders Asks For a Lot… Almost 50% Attendance

“Let there be students!!!” Being that Fourth and Fifty is a Houston based sports blog it only seems appropriate that we post about said topics.  The national sports scene tends to garner much more attention and Houston hasn’t brought in an ex-con to play safety, linebacker, right field or forward in a while (wait… do we [...]

Reid’s Legs = Strahan’s Turn-on

I wanna eatchyo legsth, Andy! There are a few things that turn out to be more cumbersome than turning a possible hall-of-famer (or otherwise) into a talking head.  Just ask Sean Salisbury… actually, don’t do that.  For the most part, there’s a reason why these guys have made a living on the field, court or [...]

Exclusive Interview – Brenda Warner

To help kickoff Fourth and Fifty, and to talk about her husband’s return to the Superbowl, I would like to welcome Brenda Warner (or at least what I think she would say).

Happy Conference Championship Day!

Well, it will only be a happy day for you if you happen to root for either of the two teams who win today. For everyone else in America it means that there is only one game of football left until August, and your team sucked this year. So pop a Prozac, and crack a beer and lets get this thing started!

Half Time and a New Beginning

As we sit here watching the waning minute of the first half of the NFC Championship Game it’s hard to imagine that the Eagles have much of a shot of turning the ship around.  Apparently, they forgot the defensive playbook at the hotel and McNabb forgot that he doesn’t have a premier receiver lining up [...]
