I was not at those games you reference, as I live in North Texas, so listened to them on Broadcast.com. I used to show up late to games on campus as a student due to work reasons. LSU, UT, ATM, Arkansas, etc. The games where Rice pulled in big numbers, such as you reference, were because those teams wanted exposure in the Houston market and their fans would come out to watch them beat up on Rice. No one has to do that now because of cable and satellite TV. They would rather save their sports $$$$ for legitimate games which are important to their teams' playoff future. Games which mean something. Rice is irrelevant.
