We now get to play the FPI bottom-feeder. Wow. So, what do you say? 40-50 point win depending on how many snaps our starting rotations play?

Hopefully, Rice will play better than they did vs PVAM. If not, this game should probably not have odds, imo.

Only question is will we feel bad about the near assault that is going to happen this Sat?

I won’t feel the least bit bad about an absurdly mean beat down on Rice.

IM READY! LET’S GET IT!

The Rice defense runs like they are running in sand.

I vaguely remember this kind of optimism some time back going to UTEP having beaten #5 okie state and Texas Tech. We ran into some guy named Buckram.
Any given Sunday boys and girls.

if keith jackson was with us here today he would say …

WHOA NELLIE!!!

Rice has scholarship players as well. I watched the game and it appeared to me rice may have been practicing a little rope a dope. rice could have lost that game, no big deal, people would have stopped laughing if they upset UH and that would be an UPSET.

I remember guys on another board saying they would gladly go 1-10 if the one win was against texas. Never agreed or understood that mind set.

This is the mindset at schools with a serious rivalry like The OSU vs Michigan, Army vs Navy, etc. The thing with a rivalry is that the feeling has to be mutual. Otherwise, it’s just one team trying to beat someone they don’t like for whatever reason.

92 degrees, good chance of storms, guaranteed blowout. Between heatstroke and lightning, I may pass on this one, save a few bucks. Certainly I wouldn’t disparage anyone who watched on the tube whether or not I drag my elderly carcass to Rice stadium.

I’m back after my offseason hiatus. Currently in Turks and Caicos on my honeymoon. Already have the concierge working on a place to watch the game! Also rocking UH Golf in the pool.

Rice went 1-11 last year, fired its head coach, lost a number of graduate transfers, and had to mount a big comeback to beat a SWAC team last Saturday.

And some of y’all are seriously playing the “any given day” card? Come on.

agreed. if we worrying about a potential loss against rice then it’s gonna be a long season.

I don’t care if they have to haul me to the stadium in an ambulance and carry me in on a stretcher I am going to be there.

Let’s beat Rice…badly. I would be very pleased with no injuries more than anything, and a ShutOut would be great great great for the D…
Go Coogs !!!

My prediction is the final score shows a closer game than the tape. A comfortable halftime lead coupled with plenty of new faces getting playing time in the second half leads to us getting gashed for a couple long runs resulting in Rice TDs. But it won’t ever be close beyond the first 10 min.

First Half
UH-24
Rice - 3

Final
UH - 38
Rice - 17

I think it is more of a 52-10, and all 10 points are scored in the 4th when backups are in.

Haha, I love it. They’re very improved, we’ll only beat them by 4 TD on the road. :grin:
