Congrats

Congrats to Rice, for winning what I think is its first National Championship in any sport tonight at the College World Series.

As a testament to the strength of college baseball in Texas, the University of Texas won the national championship last year after losing the first game of the UT Super-Regional to Houston, and then going on to win that series.

This year, Houston beat Rice in the first game of the Rice Super-Regional only to lose the series AGAIN to the eventual National Champion.

That's some consolation to this Cougar fan, but we really do need to clue the NCAA in to the fact that there are several good programs in Texas, and it would be nice if they don't all knock each other out before Omaha.

Again, though, congrats to Rice. Wayne Graham had what may have been one of the most talented college baseball teams in history this year, and they got it done convincingly most of the season.
