Homecoming 2018: Nov 2-3 ... Football vs. UTEP
Someone had asked a while back about our 2018 Homecoming date/opponent ...

Rice just announced that it's Nov. 2-3, which means our football opponent will be UTEP, a game that SBNation writer Bill Connelly gave us a 65% chance of winning, second highest for the 2018 season (Prairie View: 83%).

Hmm, if we are only 83% for PV, that tells you how far we have fallen.

Agreed.

As discussed in another thread, was pretty much the only choice.
There are only four home games in October/November.
Oct 6 is no good because that's the weekend of midterm break.
Nov 24 is no good because that's Thanksgiving weekend.
That leaves Oct 13 v UAB and Nov 3 v UTEP as the only realistic options for Parents Weekend and Homecoming. Parents Weekend always comes before Homecoming. So Nov 3 was it.

I'm only going to go if I can crash at George's house, get him to get me invited to a party at his neighbors house, and scarf his homebrew.

Yep. I remembered that discussion and tried to find that post/thread to build on it ... but it didn't show up in the search results ... possibly because it didn't seem that any 2018 posts were covered by this site's search function yet.
