In our Rice tradition of ultra-super-secret promotions, this probably hasn't been well publicized, but for the Rice-SMU game:

Throwback Saturday against SMU. The promotion is $5 gets a general admission ticket, game program and soft drink. They also promise fireworks after the game. The only catch is that tickets must be purchased in advance by calling 713-522-6957.

Please spread the word to your Houston-based fans and anyone who wants to make the short jaunt down I-45.

Ill be coming down. Hopefully we'll actually have some wins on record by the time we play you guys

Sounds like fun however I'll be attending my 12th straight Red River Shootout (Boomer Sooner). Go Ponies.

Can any longtime followers of either SMU or Rice validate whether the attendance between these schools has been different based on the conference affiliations.

Since these 2 schools have competed as both members of the SWC, WAC and soon to be C-USA.

I am trying to decide whether conference affiliations affect attendance, if all other factors are the same (mainly schools playing being the same).

Therefore would a SMU-Rice game have a higher attendance if both were in the Big 12?
