We're looking to answer that question by conducting research on college football rivalries across the country. Please take our survey to tell us what rivalry means to Rice fans, and we'll come back to share the results later in the year. As an added incentive, we'll give away three Amazon gift cards ($100, $50, $50) via a random drawing on or about September 10.

Thanks in advance for helping with our research!

I said my biggest rivals are Texas, A&M and LSU. Texas and LSU have had some great looking female cheerleaders in the past. I can not say the same for Aggie yell leaders since I am not interested in that sort of thing.

I said that in the old days of the SWC conference I would be for other SWC teams over their non conference opponents.

I started to take your quiz and stopped. The difference between our football and academic rivals are far too vast to use it as a basis for questions like "hiring" people. In the simplest, though no necessarily true example... I would be less inclined to hire a UH grad than a Rice grad because I would put more value on the Rice degree, all other things being equal, and not because they root for UH.

I similarly said UH, SMU, UT and A&M. I've dated cheerleaders from all but A&M, lol.

You KNOW THRILL's reply - "Is the cheerleader Asian?"

Yes.


But my wife of 28 years might not be pleased.

I married an Aggie, and then I converted her to become a Rice baseball fan!

I bagged me a Cougar. She normally cheers for Rice unless they play against UH.

Deflower yes - date - meh - probably not. Who wants to interact with all of her friends. :-)

I married a UH beauty first who had been in love with me since she was 14, but got rid of her because she was CRAZY!! [Learned the HARD way to analyze the mother and family before comitting!!]

Second, I married a TWU beauty who had been a T$MU Sweetheart briefly in college; until she met the CORPS!! We've been estatically married for over 37 years but she hates Rice sports [after the ring......]. Actually she generally hates all sports except TEXANS football!

If he's hot, sure.

Ridonculous question. Rhetorical. At my age I would be lucky to SEE a cheerleader (Aggie Yell Leaders excepted.)
Where do I apply?

Ditto

I cant call a hot cheerleader a rival, a lot of things I can, but that is not one of them.

Since I married a Rice cheerleader, I guess I would have to say no to the original question.

I married an Asian cheerleader and I think that's why I'm THRILL's idol.

well done. hitting above your weight will do it every time.

and then there's that libertarian streak....

I married my high school sweetheart. We dated through high school and then while I played football for Rice she was a cheerleader at U of H. Good times. We pull for both teams, but when Rice and U of H play she has chosen Rice as "her" team in the name of marital unity...At least that's what she claims.
