A number of us posted on the old Owl Zone (I think that is what it was called) and migrated here about ten years ago when the Owl Zone went defunct. Does any of the old timers know what happened to the OZ?

Mike, I guess I meant, why did it become defunct. I never understood.

Sorry... Owlzone vanished on us a few years ago, and (AFAIK) no one around here *still* knows what happened there.

Wasn't that about the same time that the Rice and UT locker rooms were burgled on the eve of the super-regionals in 2002?
Authorities suspect the incidents were related...

???? 2002 Super-Regional: LSU at Rice
Rice and UT played in Omaha (Vince Sinisi thrown out at home in a 1-run loss).
Vaguely recall the locker room story - - you're saying locker rooms were burgled in Houston and Austin simultaneously?

I don't recall (which is happening more often, these days)...

I'm reasonably certain that Owlzone died in 2005. Finding this forum here was memorable to me because I was living out of the country then, and trying to get updates on the 2005 baseball playoffs. I remember that googling owlzone kept turning up links to some other fan site - I think a rugby or Australian rules football team.
But at some point, a search on "whatever happened to owlzone" or similar got me here. I think a Lauramac post.
