I'm really surprised at how close this game was. With two minutes left I PM'd Coop to get his thoughts and UH was only up by six. Now, what else blows my mind about this game was the attendance. 1,175 people watched UH and the Rice Owls who both call Houston home. I can't believe there isn't more support for a school like UH. They have been to 5 Final Four's in the history of their basketball program.

Don't believe me, here is the game report per the UH athletic website.....

I don't really think there is any excuse, but ticket and parking prices had a lot to do with this.  Rice students got in free, but tickets were $20 for everyone else.  And parking was $10/car.

I can buy that as a excuse for the UH students but Rice no way. Those nerds have money or they wouldn't be attending Rice University. (Before anyone gets upset, everyone calls students at Rice "nerds" and student's at Lamar are called a certain name to) It's all in fun and I would have died if I could have attended Rice so please know my comment is all in fun.

Now back to the game, I still can't believe they didn't have at least 3,000-4,000 there. Lord how many people live in Houston? Coach Wilson is done after this season at Rice. There is no way he'll be back will that type of student support.

Houston's always been a fickle sports town.  They'll turn out if a team is winning, but otherwise they don't care too much.  Rice is renovating Autry Court and can't play there, so they've been alternating between the Merrill Center and Reliant Court.  You know that can't help much.

      He's steadily improving rapidly. Not that your opinion matters much based on some of the wild projections you've made on this site

      Cohen……a lying, backstabbing pos who does nothing but lie every time he opens his mouth. Let him utter words the prosecution wants to hear, and we can convict. Cohen told his ex advisor that he wanted to kill himself. What a worldly loss that would be. Let anyone on this board be put through the wringer with false charges and lies like Trump has had to endure, and you would be screaming at the top of your lungs how illegal all of this is.

      It was and remains perfectly timed and choregraphed Kangaroo Court, whatever Cohen just said or lied about.  Face it, under Soros installed Biden and Merrick Garland, the USA is now officially a Bananna Republic with a Goverment that weaponizes itself against and destroys its political rivals. Putin and Xi are SO proud!  Dang I miss Democracy.

      I haven’t been watching closely, but even the liberal sources even tell the story as “the defense really took apart Cohen’s testimony on Thursday.” It sounds like sloppy work from the prosecution to point out a specific call as being “the one,” when it was easily concluded that this particular call could not have occurred the way that Cohen (and the prosecution) claim it to have happened.    The bad news is that I doubt that it matters much-I suspect that most jurors minds were closed before testimony started.   I don’t see Trump leaving with anything less than a conviction based on the venue (NYC).

      Governor Abbott pardons Daniel Perry for murder during protest…

      Tough case all the way around.  The guy had a lot of online activity come out where he made racist statements and statements about killing BLM protesters and looters.  So when he then goes out and does it, it looks really bad.  I've seen a lot of videos where people have driven through protestors, defended themselves against them, etc., and didn't bat an eye.  This feels different, but that doesn't necessarily make it murder, either.  His account of the events that happened vs. the witness accounts were both very different, but I'd also expect both sides' accounts to be self-serving and inaccurate to fit their narrative.  Not really sure what to think on this one.
