Head Coach David Bailiff, on top of it as always, checks in again from his overseas trip. We received a postcard from the Coach on July 6th. Bailiff is joined on the trip by new Army Head Coach, Rich Ellerson, Bobby Hauck of Montana, James Madisons' Mickey Matthews, and Rob Akey of Idaho.
This will be Coach Bailiff's third installment as he offers his impressions of the trip. Last Wednesday, Bailiff, along with the three other head football coaches, departed the country to visit troops abroad for a USO tour.
"We were back up at 3:30 and moved up to some higher elevations, and it's not as hot as it had been. I met a sergeant from Katy and we talked a little Rice Football. One thing I have found out very quickly is that you don't need to find someone from Houston to talk about Rice. Whenever I am introduced to troops, it's great to hear how much they already knew about Jarett, Chase and James and last season. And they know their Rice Baseball for sure. It's a great feeling when you can have those kinds of conversations. I can't tell you enough about how humbling it is to be surrounded by so many dedicated young men and women who love their jobs and are dedicated to their mission. We met with some medical personnel who were so proud to show us photos of some of the newborn local babies they were treating and to see the excitement in their eyes as the told us about how much weight they had gained. Every man and woman here says the same thing over and over, they believe in what they are doing and that they are making a positive impact with their mission."
Thanks to the Rice Owls Sports Information Department for this information.
