Really excited for this Houston lineup. Haven’t seen Boyer, Pangelinan, or Labuschagne take the field in a few weeks and Hidalgo I think since last season. #GoCatsGo
Oh that sucks, but that’s why the Free Jacks are at the top of their conference.
Fox Sports allows 1 hour of free streaming online. Use an incognito/private window, then at half time close the window (you must close all incognito/private windows) and open a new one to reset the timer.
I really miss having Balekana here in Houston.
Oh that was just a careless giveaway.
Sorry about your Houston SaberCats @Baron Von J
Well it was still our best season ever so it’s good!
I can only hope the Chicago Hounds continue to improve. I am just happy to finally have a team
The Hounds really started to find their stride at the end of the season. That upset against Utah was awesome!
Yeah I agree hopefully they keep that momentum into next year. Yeah that upset vs Utah is a big difference compared to the home opener I attended at the start of the season.
