RGM, Chad Owens, Lafaele, Etc.

Here's a picture of Ryan Grice-Mullen from Day 3 of Houston Texans minicamp, which comes from this Houston Texans minicamp photo gallery (link may resize your browser).

Chad Owens had a good game for the Colorado Crush in a loss.

WR Chad Owens led all receivers with 11 receptions for 114 yards and one touchdown. Owens would also add a rushing touchdown; his fifth of the season.

Dave Reardon writes about upcoming college football rule changes, and has an update on Michael Lafaele:

Mike Lafaele says he’s “kind of bummed” nothing has shaken out for him yet for at least a tryout with an NFL team. But the all-WAC defensive tackle is liked by at least one team — the Seattle Seahawks. Coaches have viewed a highlight tape put together by a scout, and they like it. Problem is the Seahawks don’t have any room at DT right now, even for a free agent, and something such as an injury has to happen for Lafaele to get an invite. It could happen, though, and Lafaele might get his shot, probably around the time fall camp starts.

Ferd Lewis writes about the challenging stretch of games for the UH football team spanning the end of last season and the start of this one.

Between the final three games of 2007 — when UH played Boise State, Washington and Georgia in succession — and the first three of 2008 — when it opens with Florida and Oregon State on the road wrapped around Division I-AA Weber State — the Warriors' gauntlet will feature four teams from Bowl Championship Series conferences and at least three nationally ranked foes.

Thank goodness for Weber State.

What we have here is the confluence of two kapakahi schedules, the one UH should have had in 2007 and the one it needed for 2008.

Stephen Tsai writes about a good thing UH coaches did, which possibly led to the loss of a QB recruit.

Happy Mother's Day!
