4-0?? for Rice!

But of course,...now the score most probably won't be cardinal numbers!

[j.frank.dobie]

My point, exactly. What a year!

No doubt about the loss to OU in football. Not much shame in that. Look at the football final top 10 in all the polls:

AP Top 10
1. Ohio State (71)
2. Miami (FL)
3. Georgia
4. USC
5. Oklahoma
6. Texas
7. Kansas State
8. Iowa
9. Michigan
10. Washington State

Bottom 6
Rice has 2nd and 3rd, nobody out.

[j.frank.dobie]

Moose pitching. Rice scores two, oops, four runs.

How 'bout them Horns!

Go Rice!

[sinkspur]

8 to zip now.

What was the Stanford coach thinking, intentionally walking a guy with nobody out and a man on first?

Rice 8
Stanford 0
Stanford can't stop the bleeding.

[hole_n_one]

Made absolutely no sense.

[unbiasedtruth]

Here in Omaha and pulling for the Owls. I spent ten years in Houston and another five in Austin before being ship to Nebraska. And though I wanted Texas to repeat, I'm a Rice fan now.

[j.frank.dobie]

Classic Rice cheer:

What comes out of a Chinaman's a**?
Rice! Rice! Rice!

How 'bout them Horns!

Go Rice!

[hole_n_one]

Stanford has 1 hit (double) thru six.

If they have a rally monkey, they'd better uncage him now.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

They need more than a monkey. They need a zoo.

Rice 9
Stanford 0
a slow, miserable death.....

[j.frank.dobie]

Well, there's a pretty nice one across the street from Rosenblatt. Don't think it will help the Indians tonight.

Rice 11
Stanford 0
STILL bottom of the 6th.....

[Captiva]

PING!

sorry.

[hole_n_one]

1's are wild.....

[j.frank.dobie]

This game notwithstanding, a great CWS this year.

No home-run derbys. Good pitching and fundamental baseball.

The new format is great. I'd love to see them go back to a true double-elimination format, but I understand the problems with TV, etc. This is a good compromise.

I know the innocent looking farm girl brunette rates higher on "who you prefer" surveys, but I think that glamour puss actress is HOT!

Kick some California a$$ .... GO RICE!

[socal_parrot]

You would think that NoCal sports teams would be getting tired of getting their butts kicked when it counts.
