Rice game scares me a little

Postby Vitale » Mon Nov 02, 2009 12:17 am

They've had way too much success against us in the past, and they're something of a rival.

Talent-wise, we should kill them but I'm having nightmares about that winless TCU team a dozen (or so) years ago that kept us from being bowl-eligible. But they've had our number in recent years, to a degree, and as excited as we all are about the win over Tulsa, we're still growing as a team, and learning how to win.

We might be favored by 16, or by 116, but as long as we win by one point, I'll be thrilled.

I feel the same way. Rice scares the hell out of me. Irrational, but not unfounded. I just want a win, period

Padron will throw for 350 yards and 4 tds. not to mention 50 yards rushing.

Trap game.

They gotta stay really focused, and when they get a lead, they need to put a boot on Rice's collective jugular. Todd Dodge, while he was at SLC, once admitted in an interview that his strategy was to break the spirit of the opposing team by going up quickly and then stepping on their throats.

That approach is appropriate here.

They scare me because we have to suffer their co-eds being on our campus for a whole 4 hours.

They're a hell of a lot better than those at Tulsa, UTEP, Marshall and Houston.

Looks like we could use an upgrade in conference co-eds.

I tried googling Rice University hot girls but nothing comes up at all. So much for the Official Girls of Rice thread

I think after the Washington State game we will have a different mindset. But it does make you think.
