The Houston alumni club is meeting at a place called Calhoun's near the arena. Yes. Calhoun's.
Indeed we are. The place is called Calhoun's Rooftop. How great a name is that for a UCONN alumni event?
We've got probably 30-40 UCONN alums and fans that will be there tomorrow. 22 of them have to show up because I have their game tickets. Calhoun's is at 4701 Calhoun, across the street from the UH Law School. We had a lot of UCONN fans at Hofheinz last season, even though it was a New Year's Eve game.
Next Sat. the Houston Alumni Network has a trip to New Orleans scheduled for the Tulane game. We've already got 14 people going, and Tulane has offered me additional tickets if anyone is interested. We are meeting at a place called Cooter Brown's in NOLA before the game. The week after we're having an alumni event in Dallas before the SMU game on Valentine's Day. Go to the UCAA website to register for the pre-game event if you'd like to attend.
Having a down year is not going to stop us from partying at every UCONN game in our part of the country. We rocked the Lot 13 tailgate at the Final Four in Arlington. There are probably several thousand UCONN alums living in Texas, and the UCAA has e-mail addresses for a few thousand of us. We have UCONN Alumni Networks in Austin, Dallas and Houston. We have won three men's and one women's Final Four here. Texas is UCONN country!
