A Pretty Reliable Inside Leak For Our Owl Luminosity!

My goodness! Seems that hell has indeed frozen over and our prayers have been answered! I have to reluctantly take back everything I've written about our AD. Thanks to some slick inside maneuvering by good ol' Slick Rick Greenspan, all that remains for the B1G move is the final Rice BOT approval! (You don't think they'd possibly pass this chance up do you?)

Rice will immediately begin with a $237 million facilities upgrade, to include a compete renovation of HRS, including finally resolving all electrical/mechanical issues in the North End Zone stands!!! a new indoor practice facility!!! new modern bathrooms on both upper and lower concourses!!! new concessions!!! the sine waves will be repainted around the lower bowl (well, no big deal on that one.)

And also, along those lines, a long-awaited partnership with Hooters to place a fully operating Hooters restaurant in the East lower grandstand which will remain open year-round to promote Rice Football and spotrs, along with extra Hooters Cheerleaders before, during and after games. Rice sports will immediately begin to be co-promoted in all Hooters in the greater Houston area, a Monday night wing special of 1"0 wings for $2.99" will begin in the fall, and Hooters girls will compete annually for title of "Miss Rice Hooter", with the prize a full scholarship to the University, and a Malibu-style Dream Dorm Room located on campus at Brown college.

Said President Leebron, "I just couldn't stand being on the NCAA committee anymore without doing something great for Rice sports in general."

Added Rick Greenspan, "I told you I was working clandestinely undercover. Everything else I've done has been a smokescreen to this. All my relatives had to be sworn to absolute secrecy and I just couldn't say a word to anyone until it was a done deal. Please forgive me, Rice alums, for not being more outgoing and forthright."

Said FB Head Coach Bailiff, "Yabba Dabba Doo!"

Said Basketball Head Coach Braun, "Daymn!"

Said Joey Ramone, "Gabba, Gabba, Hey!"

Said the OG, "Man, what a downgrade for baseball."

Said a typical Rice undergrad, "Rice plays sports? Really? At that big hulking building in the parking lot? I thought it was a garage for paying customers at the Med center!"

And for all those "journalists" out there, you might want to read the inital letters of the first sentence of this post.

Go Owls! Fight on into the uncharted waters of the B1G!

I'd understand, if it had been posted two minutes later.

April fools perchance?

That was very cruel....to make us think Joey Ramone was still alive.

RIP

Hooters = Owls: I get it!

I think you've mis-heard your source when he said "Big" conference.

Rice to the G16.

Talk about road trips!

This is an April Fool's joke, right? I mean, right?? See, UH, that's the problem with being the academic cornerstone; now the rest of us can't tell when you're kidding and when you're merely advancing linguistics.

[ARTICLE QUOTE:] “I’ve always thought that the word ‘of’ did not get the respect it deserved,” Levine said. “When you look at the way we speak and form acronyms - for example, the United States of America being U.S.A. - ‘of’ always gets excluded. And as I’m sure most people have, I’ve often times wondered why ‘of’ is spelled o-f and not u-v.”

“There was an outpouring of support for the addition,” Levine added. “Not only will our students and alumni be excited, but of-lovers will be thrilled to see their word finally incorporated into our brand and to see it start to get the respect it deserves.”

pronounced uh-oh.

Thanks for indulging me on this one. Had saved this in "draft" mode for several months. Admittedly not as much fun after the recent unpleasantness hit the mass media, but still wanted to do something for the holiday.

Hope ya'll had a great AF day. And Opening Day in MLB to boot!

Go Rice!

Go Braves!
