Rice Loses All-Conference Dt

[island eagle]

Rice lost its star DT and returning All-Conference honoree for the entire season due to a foot injury. This is a major blow to Rice's rebuilding efforts.

That's a huge loss! Sorry or Not Sorry depending on who they are playing!

This happens all the time to many different schools. Sometimes it happens to our school. Sometimes it happens to other schools. When these things do occur, it is time for someone else to step up. It is their time to shine. They will never be a better time for them to show a coaching staff what they can do. So, it's important that they use their time on the practice field wisely. When game time comes there won't be any excuse for unpreparedness (only for asterisks if they are at the University of Texas). And, time keeps flowing like a river, on and on, to the sea, to the sea, 'til it's gone forever, gone forever, gone forevermore. Goodbye, my friends, maybe for forever. Goodbye, my friends, the stars wait for me. Who knows where we shall meet again, if ever. But, time, keeps flowing like a river, on and on, to the sea, to the sea, 'til it's gone forever, gone forever, gone forevermore.

Thanks for that post. I think.

The game is NEXT week. I think you started tailgatin' a little too early.

And...this is why one might want to think a bit harder before quiting a team due to perceived playing time! Gee, could that message have been sent to a few Mean Green players who decided to leave the team because they were not going to get enough playing time or they were not in a starting role, etc., etc. In football, as in many sports, one play and the whole landscape changes. Seems to me that if you quit the team your chances of playing really decrease! You think???????

Good luck to the Rice DT...hopefully he will get a medical waiver and be able to play next season. Certainly not what he was looking forward to, but I'll bet the kid doesn't quit on himself or his team. God speed for a fast a full recovery for this young man.

You have been slowly progressing to this point since Coach Canales was hired.

Has he sent you completely around the bend?

Put a little classic *Alan Parsons Project music as a background to TFLF's post at a reading and we may have our first Grammy nomination in the category of: College Football Message Board Post With Funky (yet sexy) Background Music. Hellsbells! I think I'm feeling this post even more as I whistle the instrumental part of Eye in the Sky. Superb post, The Fake Lonnie Finch!

* Even some of those "what the hell are they trying to tell us now" mysterious Moody Blues songs of the past would work, too, with your prose postings.

GMG!

Our starting QB is a shining example of not quitting and being rewarded.

It's good for everyone that he decided to stick around.
