RiseAndGrind Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 That's a solid home game. 21-11 last year for Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kshoe Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Good stuff. Exactly the type of team we should be adding given it's nearly impossible to get P5 teams to play you home and home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I like it. A home and home with a top 50 team and a coach who has been in trouble with the NCAA. Sampson will have that team in the tourney next year. A great matchup for a heckling student section as well. Totally unrelated, but that Mario fella is still working for Xavier and is still their DBO. He has to be by far the longest tenured DBO in the country. I remember giving him hell as a student and that was 11+ years ago now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has offered me tickets to an X game on multiple occasions if I'm ever in Cincy. Was a pleasure to speak with the last year we played them in conference at Chaifetz. We talked about the flag incident and he looks back on it fondly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Ok ok ok boytoy and I got a lil more of a logistical challenge on Houston but it just means the party bus ride from ATX aka Heaven with Beer will provide more time for us to "prep" for the game. Once again I got dibs on GD13's mom. Phi Slamma Jamma KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prebilliken Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 There will be a fairly large contingency of Bills coming down from Dallas. Plus, I know quite a few guys who live in Houston. I go down to H-Town quite a bit for business but admittedly don't know it as well as I know San Antonio or Austin. I'll do some recon before the season starts.

brianstl Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 This is a nice series to start up. Good program in a similar conference and in an area that Ford would probably like to recruit again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally speaking as well, the Texas Triangle is a fertile recruiting ground for SLU students as well. Good series to get going on so many levels.

AMDG-Unit Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 This is awesome! I'm in Houston and know about 20-30 other alums who live in town that would all be super pumped to go. Hofenheinz Pavilion is a dumpster fire of an arena, which is why it is being remodeled this season and turned into the Fertitta Center in time for the 2018-2019 season. Maybe we will be the inaugural game in the fixed up place. UofH probably tried to get an old SWC rival to usher it in, but got the shaft from them so they had to settle for an old Conference USA rival.
