[Hitman Hart]

[jeffro151]

This is JUST. SO. PERFECT.

Yeah, my team lost to VT. It's still an LOL moment.

 

[dcZONAfan]

Yeah, my team lost to VT. It's still an LOL moment.

It's ok, my team lost to ASU two years in a row. There's nothing more embarrassing in all of sports.

[TDs3nOut]

About a month or so ago I posted in here that I thought Houston had a shot at having a pretty good team. Their win over Tulane last night ran UH's record to 13-2, including 3-0 in conference, with two road wins.

The next three games -- at Cincinnati, v. UConn, and at SMU -- should be a good test of just how good Kelvin Sampson's squad might be. Really hope they win at least one of those.
