Yea but that was the year we tied the aggies and kept them from a national title and then Rice came back and beat them the next year.
Rice has never been our friend, rice tryed to keep us out of the SWC but failed
I have family members that went to rice too but they donât deserve to play us

Like most things involving the FB scheduleâŠIâm in the minority but I love playing Rice just for that H Town based away game.
Another thing Iâm in the minority on:
-Wanting a â1 and doneâ every year vs a select group of ânational power teamsâ w a huge stadium.
For ex:Ohio State, Penn State, etc
Also
-I really like the trend of the majority of our non P5 away OOC games vs a rotation of Texas schools like UTSA, North Texas, etc.
Great for recruiting & travel.
I understand/like playing Boise but @Georgia Southern?
Iâd rather keep playing @ UTSA or North Texas.

Iâd be down to play rice every year if they tried to be competitive in football. Thatâd Make a sweet in town rivalry. It was cool when we were in cusa cause it added an extra âawayâ home game every other year. But now. Not much interest.
If UT wont play us, why are we helping their sistersâŠNo to UTEP, UTSA, UT Rio Grande, UT-Pan Am, UT-Dallas, UT-Arlington (moving mavs undefeated since 1985), UT-Tyler, etc!!!
Iâd play UH-Downtown, UH-Clear Lake, UH- Victoria, UH-Sugar Land before those UT clowns schoolsâŠ
It could be awhile. Its start over time.
From this article:
âRiceâs 2018 teamâŠposted a 2-11 record and played 21 true freshmen throughout those 13 games.â
âRice received quite a haul in the transfer market this offseason. The Owls brought in 40 new players, including seven graduate transfers (2 from Harvard) and three JUCO transfersâ
I agree , no UT related schools

I think thatâs silly. Those schools are entirely different schools and teams and canât help being under the thumb of the evil empire. Iâm pretty sure that UT will make sure they are kept in their places much like UAB and Alabama.

Whatever marginal gain comes to UTSA for UH playing in San Antonio is far outweighed by the gain to UH having its area recruits there.
Its also a fun day(s) for the UH crowd in the general area & from Htown

My point is: I donât like playing UT or aTm sister schoolsâŠAll I said was, if we a going to play âsister schoolsâ, lets play oursâŠwhen/if they become D1A. True to UT making them like UAB to Bama.
Ut-pan am and ut-rgv. Same school

Believe theyâre off the schedule for just one year. Pezman wants them on the schedule every year and I believe the Rice AD wants the same.
They finally get a win 31-28 @Mid Tenn.
