Ugly for the Owls or ugly for the Texans?

Correct answer is likely Yes!

What’s a masochistic football fan in Houston to do?

The MOB will be there.

A masochist should be happy--two primo options.

I will be there as always. 6 pm start for Rice, 7 pm basically for the Texans. The good news on a personal level is you can avoid some of the traffic issues with that hour start time difference (and of course that works both ways - folks going to the Texans game should be relieved to find out the Rice game starts an hour earlier :)

Happy, but torn.

I've been receiving Facebook posts of Rice fall practice photos. I've seen photos of McMahon, JJ, and another QB that may have been freshman Padgett. No photos of Wiley Green. I thought he was coming back -- not true?

He is on the roster (and I'm pretty sure I saw a picture or video that had him in it somewhere)

Has practice started?

They’re up to full pads, as of yesterday.

Wiley Green announced as starter for the USC game. I guess that's expected, right? McMahon seemed like the only competition and he only threw 21 passes last year. Guess Itraish still isn't ready after the redshirt.
