The third month of the year ends with a super-trifecta on the Rice campus: baseball (three games), men's tennis (three matches) and Beer Bike (three races).

The key Beer Bike info is here:

Go Owls!

Which begs the question: Is baseball, men's tennis, or Will Rice more likely to sweep?

Hopefully the first two. Nobody wants the third

And on top of all this, there's a little basketball at NRG.....

And on Sat 3/28, more televised men's lacrosse games than any other day of the year (NOT that that's a good reason to stay indoors):
11:00 am Siena at Canisius - TWC
12:00 pm Boston University at Navy - CBSSN
12:00 pm Syracuse at Notre Dame - ESPNU
1:00 pm Georgetown at Denver - Altitude
1:00 pm Marquette at Villanova - BEDN
1:00 pm Providence at St. John's - ESPN3
2:00 pm Rutgers at Johns Hopkins - ESPNU
2:30 pm Colgate at Loyola - CBSSN
5:30 pm Yale at Penn - FS1
(times Eastern)

Did a quick search, but couldn't find a schedule. Does there happen to be a football practice/scrimmage this weekend?

Friday afternoon there's a scrimmage around 4.

This remarkable at weekend at Rice kicks off a remarkable two-week stretch of sports in Houston:

Mar 27-29: NCAA Sweet Sixteen

And at least two (hopefully three) of those four are outside!

If anyone is interested in some pre-Beer Bike photos from campus, here are a few that I took this evening:

When you say (Field) for Beer Bike, does that mean one of the other ten sweeping, or just some combination of non-Will Rice and Jones winning all three?

Man, Jones nearly pulled off those 40:1 odds. Second, first, first. JIBA!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! :)))))

A pretty good weekend so far: two wins in baseball, two wins in men's tennis, a successful football scrimmage and a successful volleyball alumni game.

In the weekend finales, today it's tennis at 12 noon v ULL and baseball at 1 pm v USM.

Go Owls!

Rice Baseball 2:3
Rice Men's Tennis 2:3
LoL tennis 3:2

Our Men's Tennis was first to sweep this weekend!
Now, let's see if baseball can match that with a little come-backer...
