[champion110]

Awesome job by the DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PawDawg]

We broke out the grill and had a good time out there behind right field today.

Was that y'all with the Tent?

I didn't realize until this morning that this series sweep was the first sweep of Rice since they joined CUSA in 2005. That's quite a feat.

Yes. burgers, brats, beers, baseball... can't beat it!

I need to get your number because I would have definitely peer-pressured you to come hang for at least an inning or 2.

Our baseball SID understands bad juju in baseball and did not dare mention it prior to the final victory. Good job A.C.T.!

Thanks for the thought. I was walking past as some of you were unloading and setting up. Sorry I didn't see you.

I hope Goff takes advantage of what the RR company allows in RF and we turn it into more of an event.

We should also consider doing something more organized down the RF line.

My family tends to enjoy the fellowship more than the game itself so that's a good place for us. As long as it stays kid friendly and people clean up after themselves, it is a neat option. I appreciated them for bringing a trash can out there.

I agree and glad to hear about the trash being picked up and a trash can being place out there.

You know your baseball program has arrived when trash cans become an important issue! Yowza!

I realized you were joking, but just in case some others see the comments and don't understand...

The area in right field has not been used much in the last several years. We had a slight run a few years ago and the crowds began to increase. Our idiot AD, BVDV decided to run them off since they were not paying to watch. He actually bragged about it and made the statement in front of other Athletic Department employees. He was later straightened out (as he was many times) by his bosses, but by then it was too late. Those who wanted to have fun in right field were gone. In typical BVDV fashion, he blamed the Railroad and said he had been contacted by the police to remove them (he was such a liar). When the police and RR authorities were contacted they called BS. I have copies of the emails.

HD, are you missing Bruce yet?

Relics of the days when the area was used still remain, with a couple of old BBQ pits. Most, if not all, the trash was and has been picked up, but having a can in the area keeps fans from having to take the trash away to another container like we had to two the times we were out there this year.

ThE RF RR track was our favorite place to watch the games in the mid 70's. There were a ton of good practice balls behind that fence as well. I assume there still are these days as well.

I have no idea how we count attendance.

Not sure why somebody would argue what we announced. If anything, I'd say we under reported this weekend assuming capacity really is 3000.

And I seriously doubt Rice suffered too many "sweeps" in the WAC prior to joining CUSA in 2005. Afterall, Rice won the national championship in 2003. From 1997–2008, Rice won 12 consecutive regular season titles in its conference or division. Nine of the championships came in the Western Athletic Conference, while the final three came in Conference USA.

Let's just win our last game of the season, starting right now!
