ABOUT US!

SarCoog (aka “Sam”)- The least likely words you will hear come out of his mouth are “I understand that X athlete is struggling right now, but I appreciate X’s effort for my school/team”. He has been writing since his days as the sports editor and editor-in-chief of The Eagle at St. Thomas High School.

He loves fashion, Perez Hilton, Elle Magzine and the word ‘fabulous’ He has friends who still believe his coming out and continued advocacy of marriage equality are an elaborate practical joke since he “doesn’t act gay”. Currently he is in enrolled in the C.T. Bauer School of Business (he knows that the “T” stands for Ted) at the University of Houston with an intended Accounting major.

He has been referred to as “Jesus” and “Rainman” when it comes to College Football and can name all of the 120 Division 1-A coaches in less than 10 minutes (thanks ’sporcle’). Also, he’s a fan of all the Houston sports teams (including the Dynamo) and sometimes the Yankees. He plays for the Houston Predators Lacrosse Club and attempts to golf in his spare time. Oh and he hates jorts. God how he hates them.

Bobb-o (aka “Bobby”)- See the thing is he is a sudent at THE University of Houston. He likes yelling obscene borderline obscene things at opponents of the UH athletic teams. He invented the soon to be international dance craze known as “Crank ‘Dat Pelican” and can also be applied to other mascots (see: “Crank ‘Dat Miner” et al). Besides the Houston Cougars he is also a fan of Dallas teams like the Cowboys, Mavericks, Stars… and yes Rangers. So don’t accuse him of not being a true fan.

He is the target of SarCoog’s Mexican jokes even though he takes as much pride in his Mexican heritage as Taco Bell does in their authenticity. He is also a former junior journalist and was the editor-in-chief of The Champion: China Spring High School’s student paper. His offseason home is in Waco, Texas where he enjoys the Cheddars and the goings-on at New Road. He tried to introduce the “Crank ‘Dat Pelican” to the town but they aren’t so hot on dancing in Waco. He likes all pop music and even enjoyed a Miley Cyrus song once… that he was suckered into enjoying okay?!?!?!

At UH he is majoring in sports administration and has aspirations of being the next greasy haired agent that Skip Bayless is bitching about. Oh and his dad dressed up in a panda suit one time for a Baylor basketball game.

ElViento (aka “Dustin”)- Above all else he is the elder statesman of this S&H blog triumvirate and is by far the best basketball player. When he is not playing with and watching  your ill-behaved animals like a boss, he splits time between his two residences: one at the University of Houston campus with his girlfriend LaVienta and his shared pad with SarCoog in the Museum District.  Outside of sports, he lives life by the word and teachings of John Stossel and aspires to have a mustache as awesome as the Stossel does. Also, he has a deep-seated hatred of Joe Morgan.

Besides his undying and passionate devotion to Houston Cougar athletics, ElViento is a St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Bulls, Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Penguins fan. Why? Because he’s from Orange County, California… duh! Did I mention he really hates Joe Morgan?

Much to his own surprise he has also recently become a fan of the Dutch national and Houston Dynamo soccer teams. But he hasn’t reached the level of being able to curse at soccer referees… he’s getting there, okay? That pretty much sums it up. Oh and he secretly thinks SarCoog and Bobb-o look like huge tools in their colorful plaid shorts.
