One of the all time Rice greats.
Growing up and going to Rice football games, Stahle Vincent was my first favorite player. After he graduated, my favorite player was Rodrigo Barnes.
I think they were in the same class? Maybe Rodrigo redshirted. But agree on both....
Yes, Barnes redshirted in 1970.
Got his book and got it signed. Haven't read it yet though, lol.
I almost drove down just to get the book. No interest in staying for the game, but the book would be worth my time and money. I'll just get in touch with Roy and get a copy.
I was on the far side of the course at the Houston Open following the Scheffler group. I walked all the way back and made it to the Rice game at halftime to get the signed Rodrigo Barnes book.
I sat down to watch the second half of the Rice game and started reading the book. It was very good, so I went back and bought 5 more for Christmas presents.
(I also went to the Houston Open on Sunday, and again followed the Scheffler group. Matt Wolff was playing in his group, and I vowed not to watch his swing. However, I could not not watch, and did see his hole-in-one on 9).
