It was just my luck that Rice University, my alma mater, made it to a bowl game for the first time since 1961 the same year I happen to be in France. Merde. However, thanks to ESPN2 and the internet, I was able to watch the game online. I didn't get up at 3AM to watch it live, but I did catch the game the next morning with Adam Baker, a fellow Owl (Will Rice '94), who is working here for 3 months by way of NASA and the beautiful city of Houston. I'm kind of embarrassed to say I didn't bring any Rice gear but fortunately Adam was representing with his football jersey (this year's, no less). Well, I did have the fight song and the alma mater on my iPod. Let's go Rice! The picture shows our pathetic setup. Don't know if you've ever watched a game online, but the picture is tiny... about 4 inches. I think you could literally fit hundreds of pictures on a large screen TV. Oh well, at least we could see the game which in the end turned out poorly for the Owls. My only other complaint is that ESPN didn't show Sammy the Owl once! Go Rice!
And in case you're music collection is missing this classic, click here. I highly recommend tracks #19 and #3.
