I am taking Monday off (Lance Z is filling in) and will return Tuesday at the Hard Rock Cafe with James Casey.
In case you need a snack...enjoy this..
Or enjoy a piece of this eye candy...she's smiling after Saturday's game in Norman..
What's on Matt's Mind?
I'm really excited about my return to Houston and SportsTalk 790. We haven't been together since October 2004, and I've missed ya.
For those who don't know or remember me, I was on the Houston airwaves from 1991 to 2004. I was the "Voice of the UH Cougars," my alma mater, for two years and later called Rice Owls games for six seasons.
I also had the pleasure of being the Rockets' arena announcer during their two championship seasons. Remember "All right Houston, on your feet and prepare for a Rockets liftoff!!!!" or "Hakeem Ooooooooolajuwon"? And I spent many Sundays at Reliant Stadium during the Texans' first three seasons and witnessed the dramatic inaugural game win over the Cowboys. Unfortunately, I still remember the Oilers epic collaspe in Buffalo like it was yesterday.
Favorite Houston moment: Being courtside as the Rockets public address announcer for game seven of the 1994 NBA finals and their win over the Knicks.
Most embarrassing moment on the air: Having to do a broadcast the morning after the Rockets won the championship. If anyone remembers, I was in no condition to be on the radio.
After leaving Houston, I spent two years broadcasting games for the University of Utah and am now wrapping up an enjoyable three-year stay on the Minnesota Twins' flagship station, KSTP-AM in Minneapolis. But Houston is home, and so is SportsTalk 790
It'll be great to reconnect with you noon-3 p.m. every weekday!
