:: Hoot Hoot! Rice Owls battle it out with KSU ::

Submitted without comment. Stay classy, Owls.

There were many candidates for this award but Rice All-American wide receiver Jarrett Dillard just stood out above the pack.

...except for tomorrow, of course, when UT comes to town to attempt to avenge their defeat in the College Classic at Minute Maid last week. Last year's closer, Cole St. Clair, is rumored as the starter, and tickets are going fast: we even found people trying to sell them on Craigslist!

Texas schools came out of Saturday's college basketball action with a collective 3-2 record, spread across two different conferences. (Big XII and Conference USA)

Ok, ok. We listened to you. We DO do that sometimes. And you've said that even though you can't live without really enjoy the Daily-ist everyday, a feature that picks out one kick arse event each day from the thousands, um, ok, lots and lots of things going on in the city, you are busy people. And you would like to plan ahead. Ok, we hear ya. So it's back: The Weekly-ist List. We'll...

It's an annual rite of fall, the one time each year that people in Houston care about Rice football. Yes,tonight in Austin, the number 8 ranked Texas Longhorns will play the Rice Owls in what promises to be a blowout football game. Longhorn fans and alumni from across the city will descend on the sports bars in droves, ready to feast on the blood of the Owls, who are just happy for the national tv...

After nineteen hits led to a win on Friday afternoon in Omaha, the surging Rice Owls baseball team scored fourteen runs on as many hits on Sunday to remain in the winner's bracket, and now gets two days off before playing again, which should put Rice's already deep pitching staff in great shape. Friday's star Danny Lehmann, who led the offensive attack in the earlier game, hit an early double and anRBI single, and...

Happy Friday, Sports Fans! We are watching our Rice Owls kick off the NCAA College World Series. We are addicted to sports - local sports - all of them!

Come on out and get...

The eyes of Texas will be upon Houston this weekend as the No. 1 ranked Rice Owls (52-12) set to battle No. 6 Texas A & M (48-17) at Reckling Park for a birth in the College World Series. These two Texas baseball teams have been doing battle since 1914 with A & M leading the all-time series at 173-86-2 and also a 2-0 record to sport this year against Rice. But don't let...

Roger freakin' Clemens, y'all. Don't even get us started. But even if you want to call him a traitor, you gotta admit the man can pitch, and so can the guys up for the award named after him, the Clemens Award, which is presented annually to the top pitcher in college baseball. Three Rice students are on the official watch-list for the award this year. ESPN Top-100 prospect Joe Savery (with a record of 6-1...

The 10th annual Silver Glove series is set and ready to go. This year's three game series starts tonight at 7 p.m. at UH's Cougar Field as Houston (18-14, 5-1 C-USA) sends Aaron Brown (4-2, 4.62 ERA) to face the fifth-ranked Rice Owls (27-10, 8-1 C-USA) and Ryan Berry (5-1, 2.58 ERA). Both teams will be looking to capitalize on each teams errors as they shoot for C-USA positioning. Rice and UH both currently...

The Rice Owls suffered a devastating loss Monday, after freshman Dale Lloyd (a Lamar High School alum) collapsed during a light workout. Though he was conscious when taken to the hospital, Lloyd declined quickly and died around 9 AM Monday. Autopsy results are pending for the 19 year old defensive lineman, who voulenteered in high school with the Mayor's Youth Council and was elected to the National Who's Who of American High School Students. While...

In case you've forgotten or planned to watch America's Got Talent (David Hasselhoff is alive?!), remember that the Rice Owls will be playing tonight in the CWS semifinals against Oregon State. If you're not a college baseball fan, or baseball fan for that matter, consider that Oregon State's mascot is a Beaver. We're not sure what our point is, but hopefully this helpful reminder will be enough to get you to tune in. For more...

This interview comes to us courtesy of Austinist Co-Editor Matthew Odam. As you are probably aware, Longhorn football great and friend of Austinist Major Applewhite recently moved back to Texas to take over as the Offensive Coordinator for the Rice University Owls. He has been busting his tail recruiting and helping to put in place a new offense that coaches hope will make Rice a very competitive team in the upcoming years. With national signing...

Residents near Dallas started noticing a major change in the water color in a section of the Trinity River -- burnt orange. Since the river flows to the east of Houston as it empties into the Gulf, should we be worried? Not necessarily: Officials with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality said more tests will be done, but potential dangers appear to be minimal. Also, authorities said people in North Texas should not expect burnt...

With the Texans' and the Rice Owls' seasons in the basement and the UH Cougars possibly headed to a baby bowl, it looks like the most football excitement in Houston this weekend is the Big 12 Championship. Though the game itself is sold out, there'll be plenty of events in town for you Longhorn and Buffalo fans — and everyone else: The Big 12 Championship Fan Fest kicks off at noon today and 9 a.m....
