That game HURT. :frown: The boys put out one hell of an effort, but... *sigh*. And yes, Southern Miss got tough when they needed to -- props to the Eagles.
I liked how it looked like we weren't playing for overtime (despite the recommendations of the announcers, who were morons!) But dammit, those penalties (among other things) really bit us in the arse.
It's a dumb cliche, but this team really is better than the record indicates. (However, I still say Briles must've let Coach Noble set up the schedule this year, because it's insane.)
One more thing -- I was poking around Coogfans today, and it was all I could do to not say "yeah, I know how y'all feel... try being a Rice fan sometime". I swear, the Owls could put a patent on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. But somehow, I didn't think the sentiment would be appreciated.
Anyway, it's time to stomp some Froggies. Here's to Houston schools going 2-0 against DFW teams in the upcoming games, eh?
