It would help introduce the team to the other 8000 students

It is sad though that those students are 1000x more enthusiastic than the average SMU student. Yes I know the student section was full the other night and stayed, but it is still a small portion of the students.

Barley House was packed, I understand, during UTEP game, with the game on little "big" screens outside.

Rice is a kick [deleted] school....good stuff!! I recently hired a Rice grad, IT stud, best hire I have made in YEARS!

It is a great idea. What exactly is wrong with getting students (international or otherwise) more connected with the team and the football program as a whole? These kids will have a better feel for the game they are watching and likely be much more enthusiastic fans than most of what we have because they have a personal connection with Rice football. Granted, it still Rice football, but I think anything that gets students engaged with the school, its athletics and its traditions is certainly a good idea.

when i was at the tamu game i met an international student watching american football for the first time. he had a great time. this is an untapped resource. at least they are not going to the house after the boulevard to watch another game.

Ya it's cheesy but I actually think this is pretty cool.

i remember that after going to my first game as a freshman i really felt connected to the university. instead of going to classes we were together for a common cause. most of these kids, us or international, have no idea what they are missing. i nominate klemm to get on this.

As if AK doesn't ahve any thing else to do. Great idea but need the athletic dept to do the legwork on this.

GO PONIES!!!
