Astros Announce 2016 Houston College Classic

[DocCajun]

I'm pretty pumped about this. Sounds like a great weekend trip next year

[Square Head]

I'll be there, warm or cold, roof open or closed.

As an Astros fan, it pains me to say it but why bother heating the place. It's not like they are gonna be playing any baseball there past September anyways.

I'm just glad I have the "Root" so I can watch them this season. Also, all the games from the Houston Classic was on the channel this past weekend as well.

Glad most of my brethren ignored your lame ___… but I can't help myself. GFY

Ok, I see what he did. Just thought he was being redundant and stupid. Actually he is both.

I know some will object, but LSU easily had 10K+ fans, especially on Saturday and it created a great atmosphere.

I know we can create a "Tigue-West" atmosphere or greater next year. With all of the schools located in the south, I expect attendance to be better...and a huge RPI bump.

With Houston and Rice both in the tourney the crowds should be pretty good. Also, Texas Tech has a massive alumni base in Houston.

As much as it pains me to say it… UL, Texas Tech, TCU, and Arkansas will ALL most likely have better attendance than UH and Rice. I go to UH's midweek games quite often as it is just down the street from where I work and the ole lady is a UH grad/fan. I was at the LSU vs. Houston game this past Friday before driving down to Lafayette for the Saturday and Sunday games against Troy, and LSU out numbered UH fans probably close to 20 to 1. That isn't an exaggeration either…

It makes sense when you consider the number of LSU fans in the area who do not get to watch LSU baseball live that often.

U of H does not draw well in any sports.

The football games aren't terrible now with the new stadium, at least in my experiences they seemed to have close to 30k at a few this year, although they have been pretty bad in the past from what I have been told… but you are right that all other sports get NO fan support whatsoever...

That's what happens when you have a commuter school. That's what most of these large market schools are. Commuter schools that really have no school spirit.
