Good morning. I know this week was a slow one, with only one game. I advise you to get all of your holiday shopping done this weekend, though, because there are three home games next week on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday!

What else are we mixing into today's Brew?

🏈 Freeman and Mackay join Houston
​🏴‍☠️ And much, much more!

🛥 MORE, MORE, AND MORE

Grady-White Scores Again! The new Canyon 386, a 37-foot center console boat, is another winning design from our friends at Grady-White! As fellow pirates, we know you love to ply the waters for fish, fun, and relaxation; and this new boat delivers all that and more. An extra wide beam gives the 386 the most spacious layout of any center console boat of its size on the market today, providing room for four deluxe seats at the helm behind the wide integrated glass windshield, a huge fish-fighting cockpit, and a luxurious console interior, featuring an enclosed head with sink. That means plenty of space for the captain, first mate, and a crew of lads and lassies. Contact your dealer to learn more about this exceptional boat. 

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Warm Welcome. Head coach Mike Houston is making a lot of changes to his staff for the upcoming season. So far, we have added John David Baker as the Offensive Coordinator and Matt Mattox as the Offensive Line Coach. Next, we have Rodney Freeman II to coach the running backs and Hunter Mackay to coach the tight ends. Freeman was just at Utah State coaching the running backs, and Mackay was coaching the tight ends at Ole Miss.
