Fan of Houston this week

[Bonehead]

Hoping for a 10-0 Houston next Saturday

Also has kick time implications. A Houston W brings a night game to the Rent, in all likelihood. An L, and it's 3:30, probably.

I thought the game was going to be at 11:11 am regardless of Houston's record.

In all likelihood, this is right. I'm also hoping for a night game that day. Fans and students can go to the hoops and football game and even tailgate before kickoff. Everyone wins...except Houston!

In all seriousness, I hope the game is at night. I work until 8 and if it's a 7 or 8 pm kick off, I'll talk to my store manager next week to be out by 5 or 6 or "get sick from lunch" so that I can make this game.

Colder the better

I was going to save my personal days for bball season but I think I'll make an exception.

Many decades ago, I turned down a ticket to a Whalers vs Montreal game despite really wanting to go. Instead, I decided to work my crappy retail job that I held in high school. I must've made a whopping $25 that night. Meanwhile, in downtown Hartford, Darren Turcotte buried a loose puck past Patrick Roy in OT to seal up a 4-3 win in one of the best atmospheres at the old Civic Center in years. I remember listening to Chuck Kaiton's call on the radio while I was driving home, hating myself for missing this game - when he got extra excited, his voice would crack like Peter Brady. Needless to say, when Turcotte scored and the place went bonkers, Kaiton's call sounded like an adolescent Peter Brady on PCP. I almost drove off the highway because I was so excited that the Whale won and from listening to the Civic Center behind Kaiton sound like a playoff atmosphere.

Don't make the same mistake I made many decades ago. November 21st is going to be special, with or without Darren Turcotte and Chuck Kaiton.

My only stipulation is it has to be a night game. If it's an 11:11 or a 3:30 start there's no way I can make it. I need that job because I'm closing on a condo on the 30th, so the money is my overpriced moving truck/pay all my friends in pizza and beer to help me move money. If it's a night game, then losing 12-24 bucks isn't that big of a deal. My friends will just have to deal with PBR, Coors light or Bud light.

This also reminds me of this quote:

"Breakfast, shmreakfast. Look at the score, for . It's only the second period and I'm up 12 to 2. Breakfasts come and go, Rene, but Hartford, "the Whale," they only beat Vancouver once, maybe twice in a lifetime."

That was uncomfortable like the back of a Volkswagen
