I’m excited to be doing some fill-in play-by-play work this weekend for ISP Sports and the University of Houston Cougar baseball network.  The Coogs open their season at home against Texas State.  Both teams have rosters stocked with Houston-area guys that I’ve watched over past few years and it will be fun to watch them at the collegiate level.

My buddy Jeremy Branham is the regular play-by-play guy for Cougar baseball, but he also calls UH women’s basketball and is in Florida this weekend as they continue their conference season.  So I’ll keep the seat at Cougar Field warm for him.

You are invited to listen in…right here.
