History repeats?

Postby ALEX LIFESON » Tue Feb 26, 2008 10:06 pm

The last time the Mustangs beat Rice in Houston, was the season opener in 1986. I watched the Stangs plucked the fiesty nightbirds 45-3, it's time for history to repeat. The is a big risk-reward game, but the reward is HUGE if we win........
National TV, and it's the only game on that night.
Win a road game.
1-0 in CUSA.
Get that 1986 monkey off our back.
JJ's first game.
1-0 for the home opener.
Lots of chips on the table folks.......let's go get it!

Agreed. That would be awesome.

We owe them a serious [deleted] beating! As guys start settling into their positions, they need to be eating, sleeping, breathing, living, and thinking about cooking the Owls.

You have to think that SportsCenter would include lines like "looks like they hired themselves a good coach" if we could pull off a national TV beating in the opener.

What a great way to begin the season. Beat the team that kept you out of a bowl two years ago.
It begins now!

I remember that we had a really nice turnout for the tailgate at Rice last time we played there. Since my pee wee football season starts the next week I might see if my team is up for a road trip and we can break out the RV again. Should be a good place to try out the new portable cooling fans I am adding to the tailgate package we have.
