Great quote from The Parliament (the Rice message board)...
"I never give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it's hell."
-- Harry S Truman
And a letter from the Director of the MOB...
All Tulsa Fans should realize that this was Todd Graham's first return visit to Rice. After the way he left here, he deserved a "public flogging."
I would have performed today's show even if Todd Graham had been standing in front of me the entire time -- so firmly do I believe that it was not "over the line." And had he been standing there, I firmly believe that Graham would have "taken it like a man" (and laughed at the surprisingly ridiculous "your mom" joke).
It's a pity that more people cannot "take it" in the same spirit. But don't worry...we're done with you (and him) now. By next year, we'll be concentrating on ridiculous politicians or re-enacting an epic pirates vs. ninjas battle.
Thanks,
Chuck Throckmorton

Pirates vs. Ninjas....how sad. I'm still waiting for them to do a Dungeons and Dragons or Harry Potter show.
A WoW show perhaps?
Ugh. If they do, I bet I could get half the guys at work to show up for that crap. Nothing worse than hearing geeks talk about WoW.
