So what are you doing this Memorial Day weekend?
Enjoying a hot dog maybe?

Maybe throw a burger on the grill?
Sleeping late?
Perhaps attending a fireworks show?
Maybe a dip in the pool?
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!

Matt At Midweek!
So Super Bowl LI is coming to town? I am renting out my house in Kingwood in February 2017 for the low low price of..
The referee has already been assigned for the game..
Astros wrap up their series with the Royals tonight. For you George Brett fans...this is a classic!
Was she even born when that happened?
So San Antonio is now up 2 games to none in the Western Finals. She must be feeling very comfortable right now. The game however should have never gone to overtime!
