I can see it now...Says the C-USA and NCAA, "you MOBsters will be sanctioned. Next year you have to spend two weekends in Tulsa instead of just one!"


Well played, 13thOwl...and please, no!

All Tulsa Fans should realize that this was Todd Graham's first return visit to Rice. After the way he left here, he deserved a "public flogging."

I would have performed today's show even if Todd Graham had been standing in front of me the entire time -- so firmly do I believe that it was not "over the line." And had he been standing there, I firmly believe that Graham would have "taken it like a man" (and laughed at the surprisingly ridiculous "your mom" joke).

It's a pity that more people cannot "take it" in the same spirit. But don't worry...we're done with you (and him) now. By next year, we'll be concentrating on ridiculous politicians or re-enacting an epic pirates vs. ninjas battle.

Here's a reply from Chuch Throckmorton that was in the game thread.

I sure hope the MOB will keep the edge that it demonstrated yesterday. I realize it's hard to get better material than Todd Graham, but I sure hope the MOB doesn't revert back to "re-enacting an epic pirates vs ninjas battle"......because that type of show is what has made the MOB almost irrelevant and embarassing the past 10-15 years. The support the MOB has received here and from the crowd yesterdayis evidence enough that what the Rice fans want is that edge...the humor directed at the opposing school or perhaps A&M or UT.
