A lot of Rice students "like sports" too. Intramural athletics is still popular. If SMU students "liked sports" in the way that you mean - attendance - then they would go to the games. Things are what they are.

OK. Then why when I’m on the Boulevard at SMU does every tailgate have College Gameday on and when I was in a college commons at Rice on a Saturday morning I was more likely to see anime.

To me, the only sport that has far more untapped student interest at Rice than attendance shows is basketball. People love the NBA but don’t like Rice basketball (for all the obvious reasons).


i think you may have noticed something key. Rice students like cartoons. Back in the 50s/60s with the classic cartoon game program covers -- turnout was great and we were nationally relevant.

so... Put the new original Sammy The Owl anime series on the scoreboard during timeouts. And watch Sammy vanquish all comers as the crowds steadily grow...
