Sorry I wasn't at the game on Saturday to see the first win for Coach Bennett and the 2002 Mustangs. But I got a post-game report from "Born Red & Blue" who said I would have been VERY proud of the students and alumni who were in Ford Stadium for their support and attitude both during and after the game. Way to go, Mustangs! It's time to start the winning streak!
Hope everyone is safe traveling to Houston for the Rice game next weekend. I-45 is a b*tch around Corsicana right now and it seems like the Texas Highway Dept. always chooses weekends to shut down at least one lane of traffic somewhere along the 250 mile stretch to Houston.
Also, there's LOTS of construction underway on Houston's highway system. Avoid Hwy. 59 and Loop 610 near the Galleria at all costs! Once you're past Conroe and cross the San Jacinto Bridge, I-45 opens up until you get to the Hardy Toll Road exit.
The best route to Rice Stadium is I-45 South thru downtown Houston and take the Hwy. 288 exit. Stay on Hwy. 288 to the Magregor exit and turn right on Magregor. Stay on Magregor until you see Rice Stadium. Once you're in Rice University, it's a breeze.
