From Cole St. Clairs Dad

quote:

---

Rice baseball continues to rack up its impressive list of conference championships, tournament appearances, Regional and Super Regional victories against the largest schools, budgets and reputations in Texas baseball, and it achieved its unprecedented third straight appearance in Omaha, a distinction that it shares (only) with UNC in this decade, to once again go up against teams from State Universities with ten times the student body, media coverage, aspiring ballplayers every fall, and one-tenth the academic expectations.

you should post just this part on the rant

Wow....what a bitch.

quote:

---

And it is Cole telling the LSU coach to “go sit down” when he comes to argue. How perfectly inappropriate, just as his Dad would have done.

---

cole really did that?

i remember him spouting some shite to the lsu side, but didnt know that it was directed at mainieri

Or as John McKay once told his USC football team after a loss in the Rose Bowl to Ohio State,

well judging by the responses so far in this thread I doubt the Rantards would appriciate the accompplishment.

I love how lsu fan thinks being bigger is somehow something to be proud off.Lower standards,more $$ to prop up the efforts.Big State schools have a huge advantage.

After RICE loss I just congratulated the Tigers, their fans and took some heat and playfully responding with appropriate trash talk.

I posted this NOT because it was from a RICE dad but because I thought it spoke to anyone that had played sports and made all the effort and sacrifices only to fall short or for a fan that rooted with all their heart only to see your team that you love so much lose.


and not unexpectedly,we see the response.

You say it does, but in my opinion it is too specific, and anecdotal to have any significance for anyone outside of its context, specifically Rice fans like you, and perhaps fathers who had to deal with this before. It might be beautiful because of its sincerity, but the writing was fairly terrible. He shouldn't give up his day job.

so in short you and Cole's dad are both pussies?

you think that journal on philosophical babble after losing a CWS game, which he so subtly blames on officiating and ego's, is something that would be appreciated.

everyone knows how hard loss is, whether in REAL life or sport. Everyone has experienced it in some capacity.

I feel for Cole, and the entire team. Just like I now feel for the Tigers. But I dont need to read a bunch of Machiavelli from St. Clairs overheated poppa to understand that it happens everywhere. I knew right when the game was over what the feeling was the was in Cole's stomach.

His dad just seems like a bitch. Thats all.
