Season opener is two weeks from today against Detroit. Here's a link to a story about the beginning of practice.

And here's a link to the schedule. More games on the road than at home, thanks to a 6-game road swing to start the season.

Lots of adversity and change for
This team. Hope they overcome it well! Go Rockets!

I'm heading up tomorrow....I'm pretty starved for for UT sports, enough to get me to drive to Detroit on a Friday

Rockets and Titans going to overtime tied at 2.

ESPN3 feed doesn't seem to be working.

Rockets win in overtime 3-2.

This link should take you to the live stats on the Detroit site.

Game is available to watch on replay on ESPN3, although for some reason it starts 5-10 minutes into the game. Really nice to be able to watch some Rocket soccer though. I hope eventually we will get the Rocket home games all on ESPN3.

Two beautiful goals from UT's World Cup player Isabella Echeverri, both headers off of corner kicks. The 2nd one in overtime to seal the victory. Rockets trailed 2-0 early in the 2nd but came back for the 3-2 win.

Notre Dame next on Sunday, who will be much, much, much tougher than UDM.

ESPN3 wasn't working for me at all. I haven't been able to figure out why.

Regardless, here's a link to the game story.

Here's a link to the game notes (from the Notre Dame site) for this afternoon's game in South Bend. Game starts at 3 Eastern and apparently can be seen online, though I don't know if Notre Dame charges anything to watch the game.

Start delayed until 3:30 due to weather. The feed appears to be free on the ND website.

Another weather delay 14 minutes into the game. Rockets trail 0-1.

ND has had no trouble beating their 3 opponents. Lets knock em off!

ND is ranked #9 in the country. Toledo down 2-0 at the half. UT being outshot 12-0. Watched the last 15 minutes of the half, ball barely left the Rockets defensive half of the field.

UT lost to the Fighting Irish 3-0. Next up is a game at Xavier on Friday.

Notre Dame has a steller defense and overall team speed we won't see the likes of the rest of the season. It was inspired play by the rockets despite being overmatched.

Kentucky will be another very tough one next weekend. They knocked off a ranked Washington squad this weekend

Here's a link to the Notre Dame game story on the UT site. It mentions that Sunday's game at Kentucky will be on the SEC Network and ESPN3 at 6 Eastern.
