What a bunch of crap. Nichols did a great job.

You mean the one who referred to SMU as a longtime "laughingstock"?
That Kate?
She thinks SMU is a joke - hated covering us.

Ben Baby did the story today on SMU. SMU actually got a nice article on the front sports page about how well Brown and Milton are playing.

Looks like they may be going to a "committee" approach on covering SMU. I picture them drawing straws each morning and the short straw has to write an SMU article.

Nonetheless, a good read and it was on the front page:

Could be worse than having to cover a top 25 team.

We're probably right above "obituary duty".

Fire Kate and bring back Nichols! Just use whoever will bring the love. Don't need any Oklahoma or non-TX Big 12 coverage.

tristate,
I've been meaning to ask you about the home attendance at UH games. I am shocked how bad it has been against the high profile bball schools in the AAC. UH has a great bball tradition, a really good team, a really good coach (slimy but good lol) and I figured with your rise in football, the students and alums would be all in both revenue sports. what is the deal?

UH is about to go through what we went through. They're current stadium is old, dark and hasn't been updated since it was built. Thy're about to gut the whole thing and pour 60 million dollars into it. Nobody went to SMU games in the years before renovating it, so hopefully they're attendance will go up once that is all complete.
