After the last weeks whirlwind of stories, I've been lacking in my blogging duties. So when I looked at the last week's worth of papers, a story from our wonderful sports desk caught my eye.
Jimmy Watson, wrote a story April 30, on LaTech playing Houston in 2011.
Be still my heart!
I am a proud Houston alum and when my alma mater got to go to the dance this year, I was elated. And when they got into a bowl game again this year...my heart was full. This will be a good match up. Of course we can go back and forth on player and team stats but it's an education blog so let's talk education...
A football game does so much for a school's recruiting effort. Studies have found that a winning team means more applications for the fall-- more viability and warm fuzzies for the team. It piques interests from would be freshmen and transfers.
So this match up is good for both schools since they'll be exposed to groups they aren't usually exposed to.
As far as the game, I'm not choosing sides on a game that's going to be played next year but I will say this ...I am a devoted alum.
