That would, of course, be Lance Armstrong, speaking at Rice Stadium in support of Proposition 15, which as you know kicked off its campaign this week. TV coverage of that event can be found here (with video) and here. More pictures are beneath the fold. Oh, and look real closely at the scoreboard in the background. It both asks and answers the question “Why does Rice play Texas?”
(The picture above, and the subsequent one of Rice President David Leebron, were taken by Jeff Fitlow. They were sent to me, with permission to upload, by Greg Marshall, Senior Director of University Relations, Office of Public Affairs, Rice University.)
