Lunch with Coach Bill Yeoman

This is not about basketball. It's about football; and since blogs can be free-wheeling and creative, that's what this about -- college football; and, more to the point, Bill Yeoman, a Houston Cougars' Living Legend.

I attended today's kick-off luncheon of the Inaugural Cougar Classic which promoted the upcoming Houston Cougars versus Grambling State Tigers football game on September 16.

I arrived at Drexler's and sat at a table with two of my media colleagues. We were a little early; so, we caught up on old times a bit. A few minutes later, Coach Yeoman arrived. He shook our hands and sat down with us at our table.

Then, the learning began.

I was the youngest man at the table; so, I just kept quiet and listened to Coach reminisce and tell stories of the glory years of UH football when he was the head coach. As a proud Cougar alum, I truly enjoyed myself.

Today was a good day...
