It is both an Honor and a Privilege to be in the same conference with Rice. Truly a prestigious institution of Higher Learning. Now, could we play them at least once in Football? We see the Owls about as often as we face ODU.

I think Rice deserves to be in the conversation. The academics and endowment alone make them worth a look.

Maybe you guys need to all start a conference and call it the Big 12 Presentation List conference. Haha.

It Tulane gets a look, then by golly Rice certainly deserves a shot.

If NIU is getting a look then my high school deserves a look lol.

How dare you make such a nice message board comment about another school in the conference. :)

(Seriously, thanks for the kind words.)

Yeah, that is weird that they just flipped then conference schedules from last year instead of taking care of the several school pairings that have never played. Hope we can get to you when we're doing a little better!

If Houston and BYU go to the Big12, I think Rice goes to the AAC.

there is no denying the heritage and pride that is Rice University.....

...on the feild o' play today?????



having said that, southern miss would hop, skip, and jump to the 'lou' in a heartbeat....

I'm done with this stupid shtie and how the hierarchy of espenis/corruptshite-'murica is ripping the soul from those that can kick arse....

I wonder if the Big 12 reserved the Big 29 name

Why don't we just chill until something is announced? Next, we'll hear about how Univ of Phoenix is going to be in the Big 12... and so will Pellissippi Community College. It's great that Rice is going after it, I guess I just don't like hearing a new "breaking" story every single day. If only it was only CUSA teams considered then I'd be a lot happier, LOL!

Hell we all just need to make a presentation...

Univ of Phoenix does meet the stadium requirement! They just lack a team to go in it!

Really? This is so ridiculous it's insane. Texas and Oklahoma willingly sharing their money with Tulane? Mid Tenn? Arky St? Rice? This is pure fiction. Ain't happening.
I'm telling you all....hell will freeze over first.
