Houston's SOS is rated at 318 (played all bottom feeders apparently) and their record is still 7-4. Houston's RPI is 238 (UofM 139).

Houston's projected SOS is 133 so yea, they've played nobodys to date. Plus, they jack a lot of 3's (29 per game) and give up the ball just about as much as Memphis so this should be another pushover game....

Yeah, they are not anywhere close to a good team but we need all the wins we can get.....

I know that good forward they had, Thomas, transferred to Oklahoma and was granted immediate eligibility because Houston's coach was fired. He starts for OK, who is ranked 19th, so apparently he can play. I think I recall that 2 recruits decommitted too.

yeah, they got crushed which is why they suck.

Not the point. If they are going to schedule games in the middle of a work day, stop bitching about attendance.

We've done this new years eve thing for years. I'm guessing it hasn't always been on a Saturday.

We've done a lot of things for years that people gripe about. Nothing different here with the exception of who it's coming from.

Doubt it. We can't get people there on Saturdays. I hope I can be there but it'll depend on whether or not I get a half day and I probably won't know that until about noon the day of.

While I will not be able to attend the Houston game because I too have to work I have looked for you each game and have not seen you.

Hmmm, I've been there and the games I've missed there were buts in my seats. I do have friends with better seats that we use when they don't. And if you haven't seen me at all, maybe you're looking in the wrong place.

I thought your seats were a couple sections over from me. Maybe I am looking in the wrong spot. Of course I have a buddy with lower level seats too and I have sat with him a couple of games.

I didn't see ur buddy at the last game.

Is he okay? He's the last person to ever miss the tigers play

Hey boss I've got 102 degree fever and my Dr thinks I am highly contagious. I refuse the miss work so I will see you first thing in the am

9 of 10 times the boss will say that's ok. Get yourself well. No boss wants to get sick.

Unless she has had an occurance in the last quarter, then she would have to use short term disability for the sick day.

New seats this year after about 4 years in the same seats.

I don't blame you. Those rails could be really bothersome.

Yes, they were. No more rails, just glass.

If there are alegit 12k in that arena I'd be shocked.

Houston is a bad team and I expect to win, but they have some guys who can score. We can't overlook them, we aren't good enough...

We are damn good with Austin; Pookie; Burell Iverson ;King; Hawkins and Markel all emerging...These guys are starting to gel and Godfrey is being a beast in the post!!!! I( hope Shaq is still suspended....It's been gr8 seeing the platoon play with a new energy and sense of urgency!!!!!

Yes, all of James Dickey's highly touted players left in the off-season except LJ Rose, whose been battling injuries so far this year.

I thought that was the new policy, announced last year. I was under the impression that we were only allowed one occurance per quarter, second occurance within a quarter meant you had to use your short term dissability. Maybe I misunderstood. I rarely ever take sick days, much less twice in one quarter.

I hate the glass too as my seats are in the first row.
