    The Chinese President and George are going to be in College Station tomorrow I believe. He's giving a speech at the Bush school.

    Yao to meet Chinese president

    In the latest unprecedented and monumental turn in Yao Ming's life, the Rockets' rookie center was invited to a reception for Chinese president Jiang Zemin today, an honor that clearly moved Yao.

    "I am very honored to be invited to his reception," Yao said Wednesday. "I just found out this afternoon. It is a very big honor."

    Asked how unusual such an honor is in China, Yao said: "It happens every four years after the Olympics. But then, all the athletes visit. The fact that I've been invited individually -- I don't know if that has ever happened before."

    Jiang is speaking at the George Bush Presidential Library at Texas A&M beginning at 11:30 a.m. today. The timing of Jiang's visit and Yao's arrival was coincidental.

    "I don't think," Yao joked, picking up a reporter's straight line, "he is following me around."

    Bush: "I heard that if he lies down on his back, and he gets aroused, it's up to here...?"

    Leave it to the longhorn; that's the kind of class I would expect from football fans that cheer when their qb gets hurt. (XII championship)
