The 2012 Rice Baseball alumni game has been cancelled because of the heavy rains that hit the area this morning.
The autograph session with the 2012 Owls in Fox Gym as well as season ticket pickup will take place. We will introduce all the alumni who came in for the game at 11 a.m. so you'll still have a chance to catch up with some of your favorite Owls from the past.
Rain or shine, this Friday & Saturday (Feb. 3-4) is the weekend for Rice Baseball Alumni. Here are updated items for the weekend, including the ones that are contingent on the weather.

One look at Darik Dillard's extracurricular activities and you wonder when he slept.
