They got modified features with software brains, but that’s what the girls like. The geeks were right.
Want to catch your Houston Cougar practice highlights? I highly recommend turning to the interwebs where Coach Sumlin is on a one man PR spree. Twitter, YouTube, AshleyMadison.com; he’s got it all. Sumlin’s been uploading some videos of practices up until this point and even some stuff from Fan Appreciation Day this past weekend.
Even when you’re away from the action you can be deep in the thick of it. Who cares if all you’re seeing is running drills for a minute and a quarter. It’s more than nothing. Right? Now you can criticize before anything even happens on the field. “Oh, that number 17… He doesn’t have a quick first step, but once he gets his shoulder down, he’s unstoppable.”
But, in all honesty, I need to see some of the special teams unit. Nothing gets me more pumped than seeing some kicking practice. Wooo! Kick that oblong spheroid!
Add Coach Sumlin to your varied social media sources at twitter.com/CoachSumlin and www.youtube.com/user/CoachSumlin. My personal mission for you all is to comment “FIRST!!1!!!” on all of Sumlin’s youtube entries. Nothing shows red and white spirit more than some internet heckling.
Also, while we’re on the topic of the Houston Cougars:
There were a couple of articles/posts/paraphernalia on ESPN about the Coogs. It’s about as insightful as you would figure any national source would be, “You’re Coach Sumpter?” “No, I’m Coach Sumlin. S-U-M-L-I-N. Not a fallen fort in the Civil War.”

On to the rest of your Houston sports updates:
ASTROS – Actually signed some of their draftees this year, unlike last year’s nothing for anything draft. Congratulations ‘Stros. [Chron.com]
ROCKETS – I’m not gonna lie. I didn’t watch this video. But, I read the prompt at the bottom. Let’s be honest, that’s enough. Get to the sentence about T-Mac changing his number to “3″ to promote his documentary (for a good cause or not) it’s just sickening. Really? Because changing your number is going to get you so much exposure as you sit on the bench in a suit. [WJTV.com]
RICE UNIVERSITY – Unlike TRG yesterday, Orville Redenbacher Ed Zaunbrecher actually does “the mathz.” He’s going to use fancy “statistics” to choose the starting QB over at our rival. OOOooooOOOO!! Stats? Like “percent complete” or “yards per attempt” or “uggos over hotties?” Sounds fancy, Rice. (Someone tell me when it’s time to retire the Redenbacher joke) [Chron.com] Because I had two items about the Coogs I’m going to add another about the Owls. They’re getting a piece of art. No shit. Art. [Hairballs]

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I’m probably playing in this on 8/29. I’m a GDI but it goes to scholarships.

I hope so.
And by “scholarships”, they mean “bribe money so the fire marshal doesn’t condemn the next rental house again”.
Geez, you guys are harsh. It’s not like they’re still on double-secret probation… :o
To say this politely, the Phi Kaps didn’t play nice with others. In fact, they were responsible for the biggest rumble we ever got in. The upside to the rumble is the Legend of Goldfish was born. He broke up the fight by tossing Sigma Nus around like they were ragdolls, only stopping to occasionally adjust his glasses.
So you’re not playing in the tournament?
