I spent over a decade in Houston. And the rule of thumb I applied for travel time was 1 hour. It'll take 1 hour to get where I'm going. I have seen the worst, scariest traffic shiza of my life in Houston. I came within about two seconds of being killed one morning on the way to the station. As I overtook and passed a tractor-trailor rig on a nearly deserted freeway, his spare tire slid out from under the rig and bounced on the highway. I doubt I would have survived slamming in to a big tire, bouncing at windshield height, on a rim, at highway speeds. Just plain luck I had changed lanes to pull around him.
There was an infamous accident involving a cement truck that wound up killing several people. Based on the time he had clocked out of his yard, the investigation revealed the guy had to have been going 80 to get to the accident location when he did. In town! Any listing of congested American cities always has Houston right up there with LA, NY and Chicago.Last edited by Old Pio; 09-08-2012, 02:04 PM.2011 Poser of the Year & Pulitzer Prize winning machine gunner.

Re: All Things Denver XXXIII
Classes start tomorrow at DU, but most of the hockey team has been here for 2 or 3 weeks. Captain's practice? Can they work with strength and conditioning coach prior to formal practices? Do I remember correctly that the first formal practice was the day of the exhibition game last year due to some convoluted NCAA reg?
Another interesting tidbit... UW has a Captain and 3 alternates, the same as DU.
According to Paul Capobianco of the UW athletic communications office, the Western Collegiate Hockey Association currently mandates that only three players are allowed to wear "C'' or "A'' letters on their sweaters for each game. As such, one(Alternate) will wear the "A'' at home and the other will wear it on the road (And I add: The third is an "A" all the time??)
I don't know whether this is a new rule, but if not what has DU done in the past and if so I wonder how Gwoz will alternate the Crimson "A" .

2012-13 University of Denver Hockey Telecast Schedule
All times listed are Mountain and subject to change
Date, Opponent, Time
Sat., Nov. 17, Colorado College, 7 p.m.
Sat., Dec. 29, Boston University, 7 p.m.
Fri., Jan. 4, Cornell, 7:30 p.m.
Sat., Jan. 12, Nebraska Omaha, 7 p.m.
Fri., Feb. 8, Colorado College, 7:30 p.m.
Sat., Feb. 23, North Dakota, 7 p.m.
The remaining 12 home games will be streamed live on Pioneer Vision.
That means all 21 DU home games will be broadcast on TV or streamed live on Pioneer Vision. I assume the 2 games at Minny will be on FSN North and the 2 at UND will be on FCS. That leaves 10 away games we don't know about (SCSU, UMD, Bemidji, Mankato and CC). I know in the past CBS Sports has gone to Colorado Springs for DU/CC games.Last edited by du78; 09-12-2012, 01:33 PM.DU HOCKEY 1958 1960 1961 1968 1969 2004 2005 2017 NCAA CHAMPIONS
