Help me out here, and correct me at any point I make a factual/historical error here...
You're a Rice fan, correct?
Uhm....
I don't know how to say this....I really don't want to break your :heart: or crush your fan status/ego, or anything like that...
It's just that...
well...
Last year's NCAA WS was a tourney between Florida, Tennessee, Nebraska, Arizona State, Oregon State, Texas, Baylor, and....who was that last one again?
That's right....TULANE.
Does the name "TULANE" ring a bell with Ricefan, per chance?
That name sound the slightest bit familiar?
It probably should, since it was the team that
eliminated (a word they apparently don't teach at Rice) Rice in the Super Regional last year.
So, I'd say predicting a victory based upon Rice being the "only returning team from last year ," just
miiiight be a little short in the "logic" department.
Maybe some Rice postgraduate refresher courses are in order?
You are correct on one thing, though -- there is only one team returning from last year's WS...they just happen to go by the name "Oregon State," rather than "Rice."
And since I'm generally a hater of all things Beavers, I'll just say "GOOOOOOO Everyone BUT Oregon State."
They have some serious arms on that team, though.
