This is great news!!! Now I can attend the SWAC Football Championship and the Basketball tournament because it is right here in Houston! What makes this even better is that it is being held in two world class venues.

There is NO reason for us TSU fans not to be there now! What would be even better is if these championships don't have to travel more than down the street to go home to TSU!
