I had a whole comment written out in my head.

Grudges? Let's talk about the coin flip ahead of the '84 draft & what might've been. Olajuwon & Drexler in Rip City? Yes please!

Then I got to the end, and none of that mattered. I'm sorry to hear about your friend. We really never know, do we?

Sorry to have read about Brian, but as a fellow Houston-area compatriot, I can certainly feel the pain of past Oilers/Astros/Coogs misadventures, Glenn! I hope you don't mind, but I think you, and possibly others, might appreciate a little creative scribing I did literally SEVEN years ago to the very minute...March 23, 2016....in this piece where I compared the '16 Astros to the high-flyin' Phi Slama Jama hoopsters! I think I called them, "Phi Slama Homa"! Enjoy, and start the damn season, already! Enough spring training! https://therunnersports.com/phi-slama-jama-astros-style-seems-like-a-slam-dunk/

You just never know. I'm terrible at picking up the phone, but I sure do appreciate the calls. In reading about Brian, all I can see is the bubble gum wall in a small, humble dive bar. Rooting for UH.

you are so right-“because you just never know”. Thanks for sharing this, it is a reminder that I needed.

It is a strange year with no NC team still in the tournament
