Yes, I know we're not in the American yet, but I found this interesting.

"from all available research, the 74-year gap between Rice's appearances in the Coliseum is the longest in college football history. The previous best was the 72 years between appearances by Miami (Ohio) at Illinois Memorial Stadium (1941-2013)."

Wow, only 74 years? It seems like a lifetime…

Make it one to remember!

Also, I read the fine print, no official game threads for incoming members who are 30+ point underdogs unless somehow leading in the second quarter or within one score in the second half.

If that happens of course we’ll be rolling out a game thread mid-game just like we did for our little UAB upset last year!!

I was at that game. It was a great one.

I heard they are giving away free tickets for those who were at the first game if escorted by their parents.

We also pummeled the record 4-month long official game thread record that UH and UTSA set earlier in the day.

The official game thread on the Rice board went all the way back over 7 years to when the game at USC was first announced in 2015.

Coincidentally same length as our bowl drought, hmmmmmmm
