The Streak
All good things must come to an end. To end it to an honorable opponent, on their field, on a play at the plate in the final game - that's the way to go out. To all the Owls who were part of it from that day in Lubbock in 1996 to today - all of us fans can't tell you how proud you have made us!

+1000! 04-rock

And the current players left everything on the field, fighting to the very end.

You could not have said it any better. It has been a fantastic ride, and the fact that it's ended don't change my expectations or excitement for the future a bit...

RE: The Streak
It really has been amazing. Enormous thanks to coach Graham and all the players and coaches who accomplished so much.

Also, I'd be more than willing to amend "Championship streak" to include the National variety. Make it happen, Owls!

CUSA is currently good in baseball with 4 teams making the NCAAs. Only the ACC and SEC placed more teams in the NCAAs.

RICE OWLS baseball have won a conference and/or national championship in 21 consecutive years (and counting)...rumors of "the streak" being over are premature!

Question RE: The Streak
It could have gone either way. They did a great job fighting back from a 4th seed to overcome LA tech and get to the championship. The Streak will always be remembered as one of the truly great accomplishments for Rice sports.

Some of the details grow fuzzy.. But I seem to recall quite a few "could have gone either way" plays over the years that kept the streak going.
Starting with: what if they hadn't expanded the field in the SWC tourney, we wouldn't have even won the first one!
