About Bryan »

I'm a lifelong Houston sports fan. Met my wife at Texas Tech where we both went to college. Father of two awesome kids. Guitarist for a great poprock band The Favorites! www.myspace.com/thefavoritesmusic Yes, I plugged it so you will check it out. I think you will enjoy it.

I get bored writing about game recaps and prefer to put some dry humor in my articles. I plan on writing more editorials in the future where there is more freedom to be me.

You'll see me writing about my favorite teams. Texas Tech sports, Houston Texans, Houston Astros, Houston Rockets, Houston Dynamo, Everton FC and the United States Men's National Team (soccer)

Bryan -

Read some of your reactions to the USA-Mexico match and couldn't agree more. El Tri are an arrogant team that play without class, win or lose. Also read one of your Dynamo articles, I really liked it.

It's good to see some more MLS (albeit Dynamo) writers on B/R. I was wondering if you'd like to guest prognosticate on my preview column (you may have seen it, maybe not). In any case, it would be nice to hear a Dynamo fan's picks and opinions on the following games:

Houston Dynamo at Real Salt Lake
DC United at Toronto FC
Seattle Sounders FC at LA Galaxy (Week 22 Game of the Week)
Chivas USA at New York Red Bull
FC Dallas at Columbus Crew
Chicago Fire at Kansas City Wizards

I'll post your picks (and comments, within reason) on my column. If you're interested, please PM me! I do need picks by Friday morning, though.

Thanks!

No problem, Bryan. And you've got me well-beaten on the guitar front. I'm still a learning novice, with only one lowly fender to my name.
