Rice wins!

The Rice Owls football team finally won a game! They had a fourteen-game losing streak, which was the longest current losing streak in the country. But on Saturday, they beat Tulane 42-34. Yes, it's always good to pick on the team without a school.

After the game, Coach Hatfield commented, "It was a great team victory. Some of the guys even remembered the words to our victory song afterwards."

Congratulations! It was a great weekend for UW Huskies football as well, with their first win in a conference game since, I don't remember when, sometime in 2003? I see Rice jumped from #117 to #113 in the Sportline poll (Tulane was ranked #99 before their loss to Rice), and Washington jumped from #107 to #96 (because the team they beat, Arizona, was ranked #69 before their loss to UW). What a pair of sorry excuses for college football teams. :(

Tulane doesn't have a school?

Classes start next semester, actually. Tulane is in New Orleans.
