There are too many fresh faces, too many moving parts seeking cohesion for nights like Tuesday to be avoided. It was bound to happen and, in truth, Rice is better off for the experience so early in the season. Every step the Owls take in this season of promise won't lead the team forward. That's a guarantee. But if they can avoid the catastrophic while occasionally stagge... read more...

The score could have been named at any point during the evening thus the final tally was largely irrelevant. Coming out of a 10-day break for final exams, what was of critical significance was how Rice performed. Would the Owls appear lethargic following their lengthy layoff, or were they chomping at the bit to take the court for the first time since Dec. 3? Would they pi... read more...

HOUSTON - It was important to pay rapt attention to exactly what Rice senior guard Connor Frizzelle said in the moments before the Owls boarded a charter bus to catch their private plane to Memphis, the host city of the 2012 Conference USA Men's Basketball Championship. It is too easy to lose the details in the hysteria of this breakthrough season, to forget just how low ... read more...

Remember this guy? This clip (uploaded in November of 2006) brings me back to my high school days sitting in a computer lab flipping through the four cool YouTube videos I knew of (the others being Jason Williams highlights, Mike Tyson's best knockouts, and that awesome Earl Campbell run against the Rams). I remember hearing that this YouTube sensation, Sam McGuffi... read more...

David Bailiff is fired up. No, make that FIRED. UP. That's closer to how he says it. And David Bailiff is FIRED. UP. because he is the Rice football coach, and it is almost time for Rice football season. "I am fired up," Bailiff said on Saturday, the first day of fall practice. "I really am. About two days ago you get, as a coach, where you really don't sleep, because yo... read more...

It seemed just for the 2011 season to end like this, with Rice senior quarterback Nick Fanuzzi playing the role of Sisyphus, laboring to move an offense that had sputtered far more frequently than it had succeeded. The Owls' defense, good but not great, provided an opportunity by stopping SMU one final time midway through the fourth quarter. The Owls' special teams, solid... read more...

It was difficult to predict exactly how things would unfold on Wednesday evening for Rice giving the gaping hole in its rotation. Junior forward Arsalan Kazemi strained his back against Northern Iowa last Friday at the South Padre Island Invitational and played through the pain the following afternoon against Iowa State. He exhausted his resiliency this week during practi... read more...

 Jayson Carter was recently brought on to Rice University as a walk-on, and he's walking into the campus as a popular figure now. Now we've seen Darren Sproles and how short he is, at 5'6", but Carter excelled that range, as he is 4'9" and 130 pounds, playing running back for the Owls. He was recently named a legalized midget and qualified for dwarfism. But that doesn't st... read more...
