    Rice prez wants to fight Foreman in charity boxing match
    May 1, 2004
    SportsLine.com wire reports

    HOUSTON -- The president of Rice University plans on fighting former heavyweight boxing champ George Foreman in a bout for charity.

    "I look to come out of this with nothing but the satisfaction of having been in the ring with a world champion," Malcolm Gillis told the Houston Chronicle. "I'm trying to show that old people can do these things. We can dust off old skills and use them again."

    Gillis, 63, has been negotiating for a few months with the 55-year-old Foreman for a bout in the ring.

    Foreman's last fight was in 1997, when he lost to Shannon Briggs.

    I wish Foreman would beat the $hit out of Rice president Malcom Gillis and say, "That's for screwing Louisiana Tech over."

    Again, I see where we are coming from, but the fact is, we have to understand that the only screwing was what we did to ourselves.

    Sooner, you are taking too much responsibility for this mess. We may have some culpability but not nearly as much as you think.
    I'm an asshole! What's your excuse?

    Again, it is a mindset. We have to find our own culpability first. We have control over that. We do not have control over what others do. Once we come to terms with our own shortcomings, then, and only then, can we deal with what others are doing.

    The truth is, there is no way we deserved to be in CUSA. We might should have backed into it, but we did not deserve it. The fact that we did not deserve it was the administrations fault, and if they are allowed to think any other way, we will not fix the problem.

    Our facilities suck.

    Our true fan base is small.

    Our athletic teams are mediocre.

    The wants of an influential few override the majority.

    No vision for our athletic department.
