Desmond, LeBron,and the UT/OSU game....
ESPN College Game Day Radio crew arrived promptly a half hour late on Friday afternoon. This meant that I was unable to meet up with them until the BIG DAY-SATURDAY!!!!!
Fast forward to Saturday:
2:30 p.m. arrive at Scholz's Beer Garden and go straight to ESPN Radio set-up. Met by Patrick Ferguson (Marketing for ESPN out of Dallas), Lonnie-production man, Daryl O'Neal (ESPN Radio local media guy), Keith Goralski (Senior ESPN Radio producer-aka my brothers "handler"). Go to ESPN Radio area and hang out all day....
3:45 p.m. (approx) Desmond Howard (Heisman Trophy winner for Michigan) comes to make commentary on ESPN College Game Day Radio- talk with him briefly and he congratulates me on having twins....err....what?!?!?!? Then he asks me if I'm Dave Revsine's wife. I said no, I'm his sister......anyway, then he apologizes and we talk about the upcoming game. Really nice guy and shorter than I though he';s be.
3:45-6:00-Hob-nob, pick on OSU fans and throw out general ESPN swag.
6:30-arrive at game and have great seats in the 4th row of the student section (great view of the Longhorn end zone) and field.
7:30ish-notice that LeBron James (Cleveland Cavalier player) is at the game with no less than 5 other people in his posse!!! Scary that he gets on the field!!!! Evidently he is from Cleveland or Toledo or somewhere in Ohio and stands on the Ohio State side.
9:00ish-notice that Matthew McConaghey is on UT side-line -appears to be "under the influence" of something.....stupdity? general whatever? Who knows.....
10:00ish game mercifully and sadly ends and go meet up with friends to drown UT sorrows.....
BTW- Did anyone know that a "Buckeye" is a giant poisonous nut and that the team mascot name is "Brutus the Buckeye". Still not as cool a mascot as Bevo or Bucky the Badger (my alma-mater from Wisconsin who by the way beat Western -Illinois!!!!!)

I'd have to come to Houston for that to happen. The thing that was so cool , was this was a college game.
But sure when basketball season starts up again...love those Houston Rockets.
