The first graph shows what an outlier we are in CUSA. And some good Rice mentions in the comments.

Are you referring to these:

Quote:"One of the coolest projects we did in grade school was our teacher brought in little chunks of owl poop and we dissected them and pieced together the skeleton of whatever poor rodent was inside. It was a great hands on anatomy/ecology lesson, and we were pretty excited that the teacher actually wanted us to play with poop.

Point being, owl poop is awesome, thank you for your contribution!"

Quote:"Owl pellets are actually vomit, not poop. I've been trying (unsuccessfully) for years to get Rice to incorporate that into chants at football games:

EAT THEM WHOLE! VOMIT UP THEIR BONES!

Still waiting for it to catch on."

or this:

Quote:"In all seriousness though, if the Pac-12 does expand (which may be highly unlikely) I could see them inviting Rice along with UT, TTU, and Houston. They would give the conference a 4th team in Texas and a 2nd team in Houston, which would grant the existing members twice as many opportunities to recruit where they want to be most. A guaranteed trip to Houston every year could seriously make up for not getting a trip to LA every year (which teams in Oregon and Washington only get half the time now anyway). Out of all candidates in Texas only Rice is both secular and has the type of academic profile that would assuage the California schools' worries over adding TTU and Houston. Rice should be a serious option for the Pac-12."

Reddit and The Parliament have collided.

For those who don't frequent r/cfb, it is a pretty fun community during the college football season. Rice generally receives a lot of praise from those who participate in discussions, which is great.

Some of that praise is likely helped by the user Owlcatraz who has become a bit infamous on that subreddit, due to their impressive knowledge of Rice football. Actually, who am I kidding, it's mainly due to their outstanding and hilarious rants on the regular Trash Talk Thursday threads. I think the one for Baylor last year is my favorite: https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/3m...ay/cvclqa1

IF BAYLOR'S DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR HAD AS MUCH EXPERIENCE AS BAYLOR'S DEFENSE ATTORNEY, THE BEARS WOULD BE UNBEATABLE.
ART BRILES PROMISED TO RAISE THE BAR ON BAYLOR FOOTBALL, AND BOY HAS HE DELIVERED. DEFENDING BAYLOR IS NOW PART OF THE TEXAS BAR EXAMINATION.
WACO IS SO BORING THAT BAYLOR'S ASSISTANT COACHES VISIT OKLAHOMA ON THEIR WEEKEND OFF.
THAT'S OKAY, LOOK AHEAD TO OKLAHOMA, BEARS. AFTER ALL, IT WOULD BE COMPLETELY IMPLAUSIBLE FOR THE TOP 10 RANKED BEARS TO LOSE AT HOME TO RICE.

Wow! Can we get Owlcatraz to write a few MOB halftime shows? Maybe we've gotten realignment all wrong. Maybe the institutional commitment that the P5 conferences want to see out of Rice was not just relegated to facilities, coaching salaries, and on the field performance. Maybe these conferences want to know that the MOB will be properly funded, manned, and ready to roast the...umm....crap out of everyone. Commit to the MOB Owlcatraz!

I'll let him out himself if he so chooses, but Owlcatraz is a long-term member of the MOB and one of its stronger proponents on here.

I had a feeling that was the case, well, at least about being a contributor here as well.
