    not trying to debate you. Just offering some facts. Berkman has more experience than none. Former players including some he has coached speak highly of him. But I don;t think its Lance, Im hoping Hallmark, or VanHook

    Berkman was the hitting coach at Saint Thomas this season, he has his much head coaching experience is Tony Gwynn did before San Diego State. Berkman is mentioned as in the mix at Rice ,but he's likely going to take the HBU job( a much better cultural fit). Theres no surprise that Braggas gone, some surprise it was now. As mentioned Hallmark has a lot of support from former players and some donors ,Again with Berkman theres a chance maybe as hitting Coach. Childress was unexpected but from what we hear the is mutual interest

    Thank for the thought, I'm improving but as with a stroke it's very slow progress. As to the issue at hand. The falloff with baseball preceded Bragga, and it was predictable. He wasn't a fit to the culture. The donor base wanted a Rice guy and those that fit the criteria either weren't available ( Piece) or lacked enough experience ( Hallmark) or the PC police would object ( Berkman) . Add Childress in the mix because he's proven and available now might explain the suddenness of the move. Or it could be an assistant that they had their eye on and the AD feared the window was closing. They need to get this right, the frmr players seem to rallying to Hallmark/Berkman. Maybe Petite joins as pitching Coach

  12. I don't like the way he treats women. Although I sadly think his mother reminds me a great deal of mine. And his father my father.
  13. Happy for my Bear friends, not the hairy gay ones. Well Im not excluding them
  14. I have 2 both involve food. Played in a softball league in Harris County for years and you know if you've ever done something like that you get to know people well but only play softball against them every week. So you don't know much about them. Well there was this guy we all called Mike a real friendly sort very blue collar kind of rough around the edges but extremely friendly in we had heard he had died in a car accident and me and a couple of guys really wanted to pay our respects and found out when and where the funeral was gonna be in Humble. Show up at the Funeral Home day at the funeral tell one of the attendants with Eastman that we are there for Mikes funeral and they directed us to one of the rooms and we walk in CLOSED CASKET . The crowd is significantly older than what we expected but we're trying to show all respect so don't want to interrupt family so we just don't talk to anyone but they have do have appetizers laid out for those in attendance. So we gnosh, so there we are standind around eating finger food just gonna waiting for the proper moment or for someone we recognize .Then a woman a little older comes up to us starts talking to us and asking us how we know her father Mike. We tell her we know him from softball we're really sorry to hear about the news and he was a good guy she asks who is this a few years ago like 10 years ago were you all very young at the time ? and were like no it was just a few weeks ago. She tells us I think you're at the wrong funeral my father Mike was in his mid 80s and passed away at all old folks home and I don't believe he ever played softball. So we apologize for the interruption she says no no problem she helps us find an attendant and it turns out our Mike was actually named Miguel all of us white privileged males were just calling him Mike because that was his white nickname. We are told there's a service is at the other end of the home. We apologize again in 2 of us head out the door to go to the right place. the other fool turns back around to get another plate of food for the trip. When we get to the right room and see people we know they ask where we got the food of course several of them in it up making a trip down to the other end of the Funeral Home to pay their respects to Old White Mike.

  16. McMurtry's freshman roommate, Douglas Milburn, We called Rasputin ' til we knew his name
  17. Yeah ,Rice mathematics has taken many a lesser mind but none greater that McMurtrys . I know a few older Alum that recall drinking at Kays with him when he was teaching. The old Texas shaped table there had all the Mercury astronauts names scrawled into it .When I would drink there i was easy to imagine them or a drunk Dave Ward at the bar. Well didn't have the imagine Dave
  18. He just wrote " Texas women" so well. And not just Jacy although who of us haven't known a Jacy. But others in countless books. That can shoot a gun, skinny dippin' getting drunk, and washing up to wear an evening gown all in the same day kinda gals that are as Texas as BBQ and two-steppin
