Re: Game Thread Unofficial

Congrats on great W...

You guys are the bi-polar team. Either really good or really bad. The team I saw play last night and against Houston is not the same team that got blown-out by Rice, lost to Tulane and folded their tents up against A&M, Baylor, and UCF once things got tough in 2H. Hope June ...

Re: OT: Rice v Air Force in Armed Forces Bowl

Appreciate the good wishes. We are excited. Team is finally living up to its potential.

With one-week to prepare against AFA, I would be nervous but with three weeks.we should be ok as it is all about discipline and assignments and I think we have more talent. AFA lost to Army by 3TD's and Fresno ...

Re: How Can Rice Look Bigger and More Physical?

I watched JJ on that particular call. He saw Rice kicker coming out and did not want/need another FG at that moment as it made it a two score game vs. a stop/punt which could have made it one score game.

JJ said after the game about Rice kicker (Boswell), 'I voted for him for All-American and now ...

Re: How Can Rice Look Bigger and More Physical?

We have gotten much bigger and more physical over the past couple years and expect to be better here given only 8 guys on the team are Seniors and another year of weight room and development for most all of the redshirted guys. We now average ~300lbs up-front and receivers and RB's look more like ...

Re: Official SMU Rice Thread

From a Rice Fan who was at the game today...what I saw..

a) This was not Rice's Super Bowl. That is arrogant. We had to win to keep bowl hopes alive and we came to play whether it was SMU, UAB, Marshall or whoever..it did not matter.

b) Takeaway the garbage TD at the end-of-game and it was two ...

Re: DMN: Very important for SMU to beat Rice

I do think you are going to have to show-up in a big way to get a W.

Rice believes they are a better team in Houston than SMU. Barely lost last year in Dallas w/ a worse team than on the field now.

Team is confident, playing better of late, and healthy.

IMO, will be a very close game. Rice has ...

Re: Rice

GiddyUp- I am excited to finally see our big TE's on the field. They have been hurt most of year and has really hurt the passing game.

Key for Rice O will be to get running game going to open that middle of field. Since McHargue does not throw a great deep/outside ball but does throw a good ball ...

Re: Rice

Ponyte-

The Rice message board (Parliament) is full of same rants... Regardless of thread topic, there is no thread that can escape some connection back to the one or more of the following posts:

- Fire the Athletic Director
- Fire David Bailiff
- Marketing stinks and is inept

The only thing ...

Re: Rice

Thought Pony Fans would like a scouting report on Rice. Big game as IMO don't think SMU beats Tulsa and thus both teams need W to get to a bowl game.

Both teams frustrated w/ their results and disappointed with their coaching this year. Expectations on both sides were much higher than where we ...
