Corrected it. Thanks
Come on man. Part of being a fan, means āfanaticā. Your opinion is no more valid than his.
I was at the 2011 CUSA Championship game. He deserves every last boo that rains down upon him for that travesty of a game.

Remember when we were undefeated and lost to UConnā¦
Seriously, thoughā¦ Ruck Fice!
So you skipped over the facts part to pick on the next part? Iām pretty sure if one opinion is based on facts and another is based on conjecture, the first one is more valid. Itās not like a debate on if Ed or Bryson is the best athlete on the team.
Sumlin deserves the boosā¦he cost the University a ton of money and cost the Program some prestige with his act during the week before the Championship Game.

I think there will be some excitement with the new Rice staff and would guess the crowd would be 50/50ish. Weāve thought we were going to spank them at Rice Stadium before and didnāt do it. They have played us really well there. Of course, the recent examples of that was in the Todd Graham and the best part of the David Baliff era. That said, no one expected them to be good in 2006 either.
Yeah, itās not like Iām predicting Rice to win. Iām just saying, Rice fans that have been around probably are not going into this game with the sense of hopelessness as was predicted by one. Now if Rice loses or struggles badly to PVAM, those feelings could change.

If Bloomgren stays for more than 2 years, Rice will eventually be a tough out in their league.
And Sumlin deserves every bit of whatās coming to him. Every farking bit of it.

Diehard, this is an honest question. Why canāt we enjoy Sumlinās winning ways, but think heās a complete A-hole for how he left this team? He had a chance to be a fan favorite into eternity by putting A&M off until the season was over and sticking with his current team through the end of the season. He chose to put his career ahead of a boat load of seniors on the precipice of a BCS game, completely crapped the bed, and then wasnāt even man enough to stay for the bowl game. On the other hand, the coach who beat him (Larry Fedora) was also on his way out, but somehow found a way to be a man, prepare his team to beat us and then coached his team in their bowl game before moving on to UNC. So I donāt want to hear any crap about recruiting, blah, blah, blah. Yes Iām glad he put us back on the map with some significant wins and an exciting offense, but because of the way he left (and without any discernible remorse, I might add), he will always be a Grade A jackass in my mind. I may not boo him in a few weeks, but I will NEVER clap or cheer for that man.

Who would UH fans boo moreā¦Sumlin or Herman?

Both, equally.

Letās put it this wayā¦if both were sitting side by side ON FIRE and I had just drank a gallon beer, I wouldnāt piss on either one of them to put them out !!!
Although, I might fan the flame on Herman more because he took his coaches before the bowl game.

Please donāt take Rice lightly. Do we not remember that UTSA game?

The difference is I donāt think thereās any chance our players will take Rice lightly. Doesnāt really matter whether we do or not.

I think you havenāt been a Cougar fan long enough. Most Cougars i know despise A&M with almost as much vigor as UT. Also, the way Sumlin left (mentally), the week of our conference championship blowing that game and a chance at our first ever BCS bowl was way worse than Herman in my opinion. Add how Sumlin bragged about how recruits that never answered the phone while he was at UH are answering his phone calls now.
