Yep. It might have been funny in the mid 90s, but it most certainly is geeky now. Sorry to poop in you and MadMax's punchbowl.
shastarocket, meet bigtexxx...absolute hater of anything that's not Rice. Don't dare say anything bad about Rice because he'll just turn it in to a referendum on UH and UT...regardless if you actually went there or if that school was even mentioned previously. I'm actually surprised he hasn't yet posted "Yeah, well Augie Garrido got a DWI!" or used the term "UThugs".
...meanwhile, the Rice president sends out a message warning departments about hiring the recently unemployed. Stay classy, Rice. Who [gives a *****]?
I was under the impression that all department were currently under a hiring freeze at the moment, due to the economy. That being said, I'm not really sure what you're getting at...? (probably my fault, not yours)
Rice University, after losing about 1 billion of its endowment during the financial meltdown, has a mascot that loses his cool and stares down an official! These are embarrassing times. As an alumnus, this will really affect the extent to which I consider giving money to my alma mater. It might be downgraded from slim to none.
