THAT. JUST. HAPPENED.

81-73. The University of Houston is your 2010 C-USA Tournament Champions. FUH-mazing. Now, they’re off to the dance to be at 14 seed and walk into the clutches of, say… a Villanova. I’m a bit speechless… Then again, FaF has been completely speechless since January 15th. First NCAA Tournament since 1992. Congrats, Coogs.

Memphis PWNAGE

Praise the baby lord jeebus! The Cougars beat Memphis twice this year?! TWICE!?! If only we can streak through the tournament and make it to the big dance… Oh, what joyous times those would be. Our first tourney appearance since 1992? I’ll take two. Then, we can get what we have always wanted… A long [...]

Google Dun It Wrongz

I’m not talking about the already-annoying Google Buzz that just launched… Seriously, though… Google, I do not need another social media site in my life. Twitter/Facebook/MySpace/Livejournal/Friendster/LinkedIn/Blogger/Tooter, they all have a place in my heart. I have no space left for you. No, I’m talking about the fact that Google missed the boat on their “Parisian [...]

Song of the Day: Queens of the Stone Age – “In the Fade” Have at it, you heathens.

Jan. 29th Houston Sports FaF Smear (a Retrospective)

Song of the Day: Among the Oak and Ash – “Bigmouth Strikes Again” We pretty much suck at following up with some of the big ideas that we have at Fourth and Fifty. That being said, we absolutely suck at trying to brag about our accomplishments. Yes, I know what you’re thinking. We brag all [...]

Song of the Day – Fruit Bats – “The Ruminant Band” My fellow FaFtonians, I stand in here today to tell you that the state of Fourth and Fifty is STRONG. We have more swagger than ever. There are more than five people that read this site daily. Three and a half people write for [...]

The Most Awesomest Awards Ever…

… and be “awesomest” I actually mean “illegitimatest” Let’s clear up a little bit of auxiliary news. From El Rat (JBJ’s one-time manager) came this little nugget… Case Keenum will be honored at the UCF vs. UH Basketball game tonight at Hofheinz. If you remember correctly, there was a time when all the writers for [...]

1/18, 1/19, and 1/20 Houston Sports FaF Smears

Songs of the Days: Lonely Island – “Like a Boss” Awwwww, did you guys miss us? Did you think that we left you under the cover of night like the Colts from Baltimore? Trust me, we considered it. We’re coming up on our Anniversary for Fourth and Fifty and none of us have seen the [...]

1/15/10 Houston Sports FaF Smear

Song of the Day: The Raconteurs – “Carolina Drama“ Consider this your open forum Friday. You guys tend to hijack the masterful posts that I write anyway, unappreciative mofos. So, here it is… Straight from the horse’s mouth (if you consider a sports radio host a horse): Yeah. That just happened. Discuss.
