Rice comes out clicking

Rice doesn't scare me. Ever. Why? Because they are Rice. That is all.

I think if you go back and check the old southwest conference records over a period of time that Rice is the only team that had a consistant winning record against SMU.

Over what period of time? Rice, along with the rest of the SWC, destroyed us every year from 1988-1994. Prior to that, from 1977-1986 we beat them every year. We lost a few to them along the way, but I think it's a major stretch to say they had a "consistent" winning record against us.

After 1988, unfortunately, just about everyone did.

SMU played Rice for the first time in 1916 and lost to them 146 to 3 and did not beat them till about 1924 or so and down through the years Rice won more games than they lost to SMU

146 to 3? what is the source of that information?

[Stallion]

No SMU had a commanding lead in this series until the DP. You are correct about 146 to 3 though.

[PonySoprano]

I believe the all-time series vs. Rice has us ahead 45-39-1. Last win against Rice was 2005 at Ford Stadium. Last win in Houston was 1986.

smu sports historical records. Some more trivia. Matty Bell a long time SMU coach and late AD came to SMU from aTm he was fired from aTm because he could not beat SMU in about 5 years he got 1 tie and 4 losses.
