[Stop The Rain Dance!]

In all seriousness, if you want ponchos, buy them cheap.....because if it is more than a 30 minute rain, you will most likely be wet for the most part by the time the game is over unless you have really good rain gear. Most games I have been to where it rained more than 50% of the game, in the end, the poncho did very little good.

I bought some toothpaste-green cheapo ponchos at Academy for 79 cents each. "One size fits most". In its wrapper, it fits in a shirt pocket. Essentially disposable. I'm expecting they're thinner than the plastic bag I took them home in!

[Stop The Rain Dance!]

Anyone remember the game against Southern Miss on Oct 24, 1981 at Fouts? I call it the "Flood Bowl". It was raining so hard that day that Denton cable's weather channel "rain gauge" was ticking off 1/100th of an inch every second. There was a rumor that a player almost drowned with all the standing water on the field.

At the stadium mixer in Houston last month, I asked RV whether he was in that game, but apparently he had graduated from USM the year before.

Never mind the score, that was the Bob Tyler year...

I don't understand it - All that work - those awesome new facilities - and only 12-14K show up for the home opener?

Maybe if they didn't have to drive all the way to Bozeman, MT for their home games, the attendance would be better!

[Anyone Know Of A Watching Party In Houston?]

Come on down to the Fox & Hound, 11470 Westheimer. It's outside Beltway 8, just past Wilcrest, on the right (NORTH!) side. According to the Alumni office, we have about 30 RSVPs for Houston - I hope they all come!

Beware - Westheimer is being repaved - they've scraped off the old asphault, and it's bumpy as hell.
