Last I heard, Texas was terrible.

Since then, we beat Rice 7-0, and Rice has now been caught cheating and has to lose 2 players of their active roster.

Haven't seen him on the baseball board since then, but he's been posting drivel about Texas football on the Rivalries board. Figures.

I missed the cheating story. Anyone have a link?

And to answer your question...no, he hasn't been here since Rice was swept at San Jose State a couple of weekends ago.

bassale,

Where in the polls would you rank Texas after last week?

Sounds like an honest mistake to me. I fully support them being penalized for it and I'm glad to see them accept the responsibility. But when you're leading the game by 11 runs, it's just an accident.

If you're up by one in the bottom of the ninth and you sub in Eric Gagne and pretend he's a college kid... now that's cheating.

In all honesty, it wouldn't be completely out of line for Texas to not be in the top 5, if we're going off potential for the rest of the season. A lot of pitchers got some work in tonight, and everyone but Buck Cody looked pretty good. Then again, we weren't exactly playing a good team.

I see no real reason for CSF, Tulane, or LSU to have dropped below Texas this week. I just think with the top 3 teams losing 2 of 3 games, some of the polls felt they couldn't leave Texas at fourth. I'd say Texas should probably be in 4-6 range.

It's not like they let Tiki Hardeman score 3 TDs in a 28-7 win. Oh wait...that was us.

I think the punishment fits the crime, in my opinion...

Got to love the bitter Horn fans. Still pissed that we sent you home crying from Omaha in 2003?

Rice cheating? That's really funny coming from a supporter of the most corrupt baseball program in college baseball -- UT. Rice inadvertently used a player not on the 25-man roster to pitch the last out in a blowout game (14-3). That is what the Whorn is referring to as "cheating". The punishment is that Rice must reduce their roster by 2 players for the Fresno State series. Get your facts straight, safety schooler.

Can't wait for UT to come to Rice. I'm going to be yelling "Put in Lecure" at the top of my lungs the entire game.

Yeah, Texas has only beaten Rice 5 out of 5 times since 2003. Longhorn fans have so much to be bitter about when it comes to the Owls.

And what does Sam LeCure have to do with Texas cheating or being a dirty program? He was eligible to play by NCAA standards. The university dismissed him because he did not meet UT standards, hence the lawsuit he filed against the school recently. Nice try though.

And I'll be yelling "Put in Townsend".

I'll be yelling "Herman Coachmen"

Hornfan's Rice envy is hilarious. Not as funny as LeCure or Huston Street's crying episodes, but entertaining nevertheless.

By the way, this is the Rice player in question:

He was a summa cum laude graduate of Episcopal High School, and had a 4.4/4.0 GPA.

I would not call Rice cheaters over that from what the tu program has done in recent years... Professional Mexican League Players.

Thanks, AusTxHorn, for illustrating the difference between UT and Rice.

Rice: Wade Townsend: Academic All-American of the Year 2004, 1st round draft pick, CWS Champion

UT: Sam Lecure: Failed out of school, sued the school, lost, cried his eyes out on local television, never won the big one

No, we just think it's typically pathetic that you talked all that smack before we beat you, then hide like a girl afterwards. How does it feel to have lost 5 straight games to us?

Since it has a significantly inferior engineering department, Rice was my safety school in case I didn't make it into UT's, Michigan's, or Georgia Tech's. Luckily, I made it into all four, so I didn't have to go to Rice and get a less prestigious degree.

Wade being an Academic All-American just makes his post-draft decision process look that much more stupid.

At least he has Cat Osterman to take on dates to McDonalds to buy off the dollar menu instead of that fat 2 million he would have earned by just writing his name on a line.

Texas has embarrased Rice over the last 2 years, and all-time.

CWS Championships:
Texas 5
Rice 1

5 straight scoreboards, most recent being 7-0. We even shut Rice out 5-0 at Reckling last year. There is no comparison between Texas and Rice.

Rice has spent years and years trying to become Texas. Hell, you even hired a Longhorn to lead your program to success. And you say Texas is "owned?"

since when has texags become a rice/texas dicussion.

please go to hornfans.com or the rice board.

Yes, God forbid one thread have nothing to do with A&M. How many threads on this board are about pro baseball? What's the difference?

Weren't you the one that started a thread on Texas right after the Baylor series?

AB2 made my point for me. Don't know why you couldn't figure out that brain buster.

Trader, I'm looking for Tim Henderson's home phone number. Could you help me out there?
