Praise to the team and coaches for coming on with a strong finish to this season. The last few games were a full team effort with great performances by all. RFND!

I didn't get to watch many games this year but I followed every game and I was very proud of this team, their effort, their intensity, and their level of play this season. Our team represented us well. Thanks to all who put in all the hard work!!

+1000

Great effort, and never give up.

Agreed. Really pleased to see how the team battled back from the early-season adversity and late-regular-season adversity. Team showed plenty of fight and grit and was entertaining to watch. Poche pitched brilliantly yesterday and Alex Box is a very tough place for opposing teams. Lets build on the good vibes at the end of the season toward an even better 2017! Special thanks to Blake Fox on Sunday and Evan Kravetz on Tuesday for giving my daughter a baseball. Evan was a little skeptical at first, but he relented.

Great job guys! Would have been easy to pack it in after the way the regular season ended, but the mental toughness and grit put on display in both the C-USA Tournament and the Regional were inspiring.

+a bunch

I would like to give special recognition to Willy Amador, who pitched the game of his life under huge pressure, and to Hunter Kopycinski who started the year in a horrendous slump and finished the year as one of our most productive hitters (and was a darn good catcher the whole year).

The end of the season felt very much like the good 'ol days -- they ended up playing at a very high level.

Yes, major thanks to all the players and coaches, and everyone else. A very exciting, albeit disappointing, end to a memorable season.

Let's get at it next year and start a new streak. And now we have some targets: this time, let's make it 21 straight and _two_ of your sons donning the R!

I'm going to spell it out to make sure that everyone gets further exposed to the correct version:

Rice Fight Never Dies. (More specifically, Rice Baseball Fight Never Dies.)

Needs to be three sons donning the R to one-up this year's team (with Fox and Gray).

Yeah, I wasn't clear - referring to father/son combos winning championships on the same streak (Jason and Tristan).

But not at all meant to discount how awesome it was to see Blake tear it up for the Owls in the tradition of cousin Matt, father Mike and grandfather Jim. Nor the brothers (Cruz, Skaggs, Baker, others I'm sure), in-laws (Berkman and the Bakers, others I'm sure) and other relations we've had over the years.

Hugs to the Owls
