**Fritz fits what UH needs**
Willie Fritz was officially introduced as head football coach at University of Houston today. IMO, this is a phenomenal hire. The man is a proven winner & he has strong ties to this area. Excited to see how he helps get the Coogs on track in the Big 12 Conference.

This isn’t the greatest photo of Connor, but it’s REAL LIFE…& also pretty funny! He was not thrilled about being photographed with the “kids tree” so he made a “Grinch” face rather than smile like Quinnie. Ha!

Bradford spend at least $2,000 of his own endorsement money to purchase & provide turkeys to the Lubbock community. Good work, Tony!
**Last swing at Olympic dream**
On this , I’m thankful I was able to share DeRae Crane’s story on ABC13. He’s a former U.S. Army Captain with an MBA from Rice University who is taking one last swing at his lifelong dream: being a member of Team USA. He will try to make USA Boxing history next month in Lafayette, LA.

**Generation Texas Week**
What an honor it was to talk TV in schools last week!
I had the pleasure of presenting at multiple Conroe Independent School District campuses (including Connor’s!) as the schools hosted various events to help prepare students for different options after high school. Every time I visit with our next generation, I’m excited about the future!

**No such thing as an ugly win**
A sign of a good team is being able to win when you don’t play your best. Today, the Houston Texans do just that as they survive a three interception performance from CJ Stroud + a crucial missed field goal to beat the Arizona Cardinals 21-16. The Texans are now 6-and-4 on the season, squarely in the NFL playoff picture & will host the Jacksonville Jaguars next Sunday for first place in the division.

The Grand Oaks Volleyball team finishes the season with a record of 50-and-1 (!!) and brings home the program’s first-ever state title...and the first team sports title in the history of the school (established 2018). Way to go!
**Football Friday**
The Houston Christian University football team has secured its first winning season since the school launched the program last decade. A key factor in the early success of first-year head coach Braxton Harris is one local player’s refusal to let his career end on anyone else’s terms. I hope you’ll enjoy this inspiring story on Xavier McIntyre.

**Astros announce Espada as new skipper**
It’s official: Joe Espada is the new manager of the Houston Astros. The 48 year-old has been the ‘Stros bench coach (No. 2 in charge) since 2018. I can tell y’all Espada is incredible well-liked, if not BELOVED, by his players. He’s also revered by staff members in/around the club. This hire made too much sense!

**Stroud, Texans magic continues**
For the second straight week, rookie QB CJ Stroud engineers a game-winning drive in the final seconds to propel his Houston Texans to a 30-27 win at the Cincinnati Bengals. The Texans are very much in the playoff race with a 5-4 record … and those 5 wins are their most in any full season since 2019. And it’s only week 10.

**Son of Master P signs with UH**
Today, the Houston Cougar Men's Hoops team signed Mercy Miller to a scholarship. He’s the son of self made music mogul Master P!
More than two years ago, when Mercy first announced his comment to the Coogs, I chatted with Master P about his son’s college plans.

**CJ Stroud’s “it” factor**
As we posted about yesterday following his NFL record-setting performance, Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud is doing things few, if any, rookie QBs have done. His comfort & confidence are wildly impressive.
Admittedly, I’m no NFL Draft analyst. But on the day we met CJ, his comfort & confidence was so apparent…we featured it in our ABC13 Houston reporting from the NFL Draft in Kansas City.

**Texans win thriller vs. Bucs**
Rookie QB C.J. Stroud breaks the NFL rookie record for passing yards in a game (470 yards!) as he leads his Houston Texans to a thrilling, comeback win in the final seconds. Stroud throws 5 touchdowns in the 39-37 victory. They’re now 4-and-4 on the season.

So many of us can appreciate a family football story, right?
Friday, when Tidehaven High School hosts Van Vleck ISD, it will be a matchup of father vs. son. Van Vleck defensive assistant Wade Birchum will coach against his son, Tidehaven defensive assistant Ryan Birchum. But as you’ll see in our piece, there’s another layer to this father/son cross-county rivalry game.

**Rockets new city edition unis**
Y’all, the Houston Rockets NAILED these! 👩🏻🚀🏀🪐
These new NBA Nike City Edition uniforms are beautiful. I especially love the SLAMMING SPACE MAN!
The team says these uniforms are a part of the overarching “Hometown Heroes” storyline which was developed to celebrate NBA teams’ unique connection to their respective cities. The Rockets will amplify Hometown Heroes through Hakeem “The Dream” Olajuwon, Clyde “The Glide” Drexler, and how their explosive, high-flying on-court performances carved out a place in basketball culture for the City of Houston.
They’ll wear these 13 times this season. Here’s hoping they play as good as they look!
