Go Coogs!

We had a going-away lunch for a co-worker today. This guy is possibly the biggest UH fan I've ever met. He sticks with his team no matter how they're performing. He has season tickets for football, basketball and baseball. For his farewell party, he chose to have lunch at a local Cougar hangout. Mandola's Deli is down the road from the campus and is filled with Cougar memorabilia. Lunch was great and everyone had a good time. But the icing on the proverbial cake was when we realized who was sitting at the table behind us. Members of the UH football team were having lunch, including quarterback Kevin Kolb. It was an unexpected present for our co-worker to be able to meet them and get autographs on his last day of work on the UH campus.

For anyone who's interested: Kevin Kolb has carried the team to a 9-3 season. The Cougars will play in the C-USA Championship on Friday night. Their win over Memphis also gave them homefield advantage, so the championship game will be right here in Houston.

This season, Kolb has thrown for 3,165 yards and 25 touchdowns, connecting on 68 percent of his passes with only three interceptions.

You wouldn't know Kolb's quarterback rating, by chance, would you?

According to my calculations, his rating for the '06 season is 115 and his career rating is 97.

His stats are actually BETTER than that silly Quarterback man the Texans didn't pick up for their #1 spot. What was his name again? The one that got away, or something?
