We sure couldn't beat those bastards in previous years. ... http://www.ricerugby.com/index.cfm/1,102,327,-1,html#c31 ID 29 Posted by Playa - the current team is on its way to a good season if we get our shit together. ... http://www.ricerugby.com/index.cfm/1,102,327,-1,html#c29 ID 27 Posted by Greg Byrne - Best team ever? '85, no contest. A great bunch. ... http://www.ricerugby.com/index.cfm/1,102,327,-1,html#c27 ID 25 Posted by Matty Blunder Bayaz - I would like to clarify which team we are talking about. Dr. Darling, I believe you are refering to the 97 team, not the 96 team (unless you played for us a senior in high school). I prefer the 96-97 notation system, to avoid any confusion. Unfortunate ... http://www.ricerugby.com/index.cfm/1,102,327,-1,html#c25 ID 21 Posted by Dr. Darling - Just to show I am not biased, the alumni team did indeed lay a whoopin on us in 99-00, kent was right. However, anyone that watched us that season could tell you that the team that played the second semester of that year was FAR better than the one that ... http://www.ricerugby.com/index.cfm/1,102,327,-1,html#c21 ID 19 Posted by The Manager - I disagree, it's a very good game, but i think Donkey Kong is the best game ever. ... http://www.ricerugby.com/index.cfm/1,102,327,-1,html#c19 ID 18 Posted by Dr. Darling - I mean, can anyone really tell? First off, yeah, when I was a freshman in 1996 that team was pretty awesome. The pack consistently dominated, roscoe was was widicuwous (asian american phonetic) and we did win Texas and put up a great fight in Westerns. ... http://www.ricerugby.com/index.cfm/1,102,327,-1,html#c18 ID 17 Posted by Bhutch - I'll be the first to actually elect a team that I was only a small part of. The 1992-1993 Fightin' Owls side was ridiculously dominant. They not only won all their cup matches but I think they may have allowed only 3 points over the year in doing so. To t ... http://www.ricerugby.com/index.cfm/1,102,327,-1,html#c17 ID 15 Posted by CJK - Injuries: Your argument the 2000 team isn't better b/c an injury would have hurt them..... Are the Patriots not the best team this year b/c if Brady got hurt they wouldn't be as good. Were the Bulls not as good b/c if Jordan got hurt, they wouldn't have b ... http://www.ricerugby.com/index.cfm/1,102,327,-1,html#c15 ID 10 Posted by Joe Shifflett - First, Kent, I'm pretty sure that the undergrads beat the Alumni in the fall of 1999. It's possible that the Alumni got a couple late trys when they stacked the field with 17 or 18 players, but in the first two periods, when Rice was playing their first ... http://www.ricerugby.com/index.cfm/1,102,327,-1,html#c10 ID 9 Posted by roscoe - well said kent...when was the last time that was attributed to a bayazitoglu. Is that "joe" shifflett? Additionally, the 97 team set up the 2000 team getting them the experience in nationals as freshmen. I must put in a word for the 1996 team as well. ... http://www.ricerugby.com/index.cfm/1,102,327,-1,html#c9 ID 8 Posted by kbayazitoglu - The 1997 team was the best ever. The 2000 team had a great run to Nationals, but all in all the 1997 was better. The 1997 team was the first Rice team to play in nationals, and the first and only team to beat an Academy team (Airforce in Westerns) and c ... http://www.ricerugby.com/index.cfm/1,102,327,-1,html#c8 ID 6 Posted by Joe Shifflett - The 1999-2000 Rice Rugby team is the best that Rice has produced. The team was the first from Rice and the Texas Rugby Union to rank in the top 10 based on USA Rugby’s ranking system. After a disappointing 3rd place finish in the TRU, the 2000 team beat ... http://www.ricerugby.com/index.cfm/1,102,327,-1,html#c6
