Handwritten note to QB recruit’s cat nets Rice a verbal

First, this. And now, this.

Apparently, we’re becoming a nation of felines. The latest example of this?

According to Mark Berman of FOX 26 in Houston, Rice has been making a significant push to garner a verbal commitment from quarterback J.T. Granato. The Houston Kinkaid High School product is a three-star 2015 prospect and the apple of the Owls’ recruiting eye.

So much so, in fact, that David Bailiff and/or his coaching staff sent a letter to the player’s cat. And, yes, the letter was addressed to the player’s cat. Kitty Granato, to be specific.

A minor league baseball team has asked her to throw out the season's first pitch. Not sure how that will happen; cats aren't known for their pitching skills. They are better catchers.
