North Texas is a finesse team. Rice is being built around offensive power and defensive speed. Enjoy it while you can UNT. You guys are too small. It showed badly in the New Orleans Bowl. You guys were manhandled.
That is what McCarney did when he was coaching North Texas. It worked for one season, and then it didn't. If Rice can bring in the right recruits for the system it could work, just like it has for Stanford. But, Rice will have to do a good deal of recruiting outside of Texas in order to get most of the players needed. Most kids of the kids in Texas come out of spread systems.
Both FAU and Troy were bigger, faster, and stronger then us last season. That didn't go unnoticed by our fans our athletic department, and is being addressed through recruiting and juco transfers.
In two years our current #1 ranked C-USA recruiting class will be contributing on the field, so I don't know that Rice will be pushing us around. But, I certainly look forward to attending our match-ups.
I’m not sure about pushing UNT around but we are definitely going for the Stanford model and have the academic pull to get the next 20 kids each year Stanford doesn’t want. Bailiff exclusively recruited Texas pretty much, with 1 or 2 from Louisiana or Canada.
Bloomgren’s short time filling the 2018 class:
TX, LA, FL, MO, NY, CA, SC, MN (mr football)
2019 class so far (9 commits)
TX, OH, NJ, CT with offers out to guys from several other states + Belgium
So good to see a wider net being cast.
15 days until kickoff against Prairie View A&M. Football is in the air!

Rice also won a conference championship in the last 5 years. This is not that Rice.

Add North Carolina to the list.
There is no use in pretending
Your eyes give you away
Something inside of you’s feeling like I do
We’ve said all there is to say
Why does Rice get to start the season early by a week?
When you play @Hawaii you get a 13th game and the privilege of starting the season early. We play them in our third game.

True.
Which is why Clt has my vote for any elective office for which he were to choose to run for.

clt says rice is a vehicle for sauce and protein. Use cauliflower rice and avoid evil carbs.
Lane might mess up Hawaii before Rice even gets to them:
