Hope all our Rice and Houston pals are staying safe during Harvey.  This storm is a biatch!!  Things are getting worse every hour in Houston, it sounds like it is turning into a Katrina like situation with flooding all over. I have seen some estimates of 50" plus of rain, that is just unreal. Please stay safe, Owls, and update us when you can

First and foremost safety concerns.  But also wondering about Lamar and all football teams down that way.  Could there be impact as in cancellation or postponement?  

Right now seek higher ground.

prayers.

I'm gonna let you slide on this one Mr. Southern Miss postbot because of the positivity of the post and the fact that my family stays there. I'll be back on your case after the storm passes.

The coastal bend needs some prayers too. The last few days have been awful. We had to evacuate Portland on Thursday and made it to my brother's place in Pflugerville. The power could be out for another week to 2 weeks, still don't know the status of our home, and our church was pretty much destroyed.  Thanks Harvey.

Ya some of my immediate family live about 20 min north of galveston. They decided to ride it out at home. Thankfully they are ok, but most of the area is majorly under water. Prayers for all involved as they still have several days of rain left to come.

Cancellation or postponement of the Lamar game would not surprise me.  It's a mess down in SE Texas, Beaumont-Port Arthur, etc.

That would mean a first week bye on the schedule again. Thanks RV.

All of my family is down in my home town of Dickinson. Everyone of them is stranded where they are, but they are all okay. If Harvey gets back to the gulf and follows the predicted path, things will probably get much worse. Thank you to everyone praying for those down on the coast.

Prayers for all impacted.  This thing is treacherous and far from over.  Small potatoes in comparison of course but after reviewing Emmitt's photos, I'm starting to wonder if this Lamar game will even happen...

I'll be praying for your family in Bacliff. As  everyone from that region knows, nothing like this has ever happened in the Houston area. Although it appears things are getting better right now, this is far from over , and the worst could still be on the way.

"The Rice football team is currently waiting to board our flight from Sydney, Australia, on the first leg of their return from the Sydney Cup football game. Per our original itinerary, we will fly to Los Angeles, arriving at approximately 8:30 am (central) Monday.

Upon our arrival in Los Angeles, we will receive an update on the situation in Houston and evaluate our travel options back to Houston. We will post additional information once we have arrived in Los Angeles."

My player down there said water has receded on campus, but they're suppose to get another round of storms in the next few days.

  • With all the problems that this thing has presented - and will present - the cancellation or rescheduling of ball games is way down on the list of importance.    Having said that I saw the post about the Rice football team being unsure about their travel plans once they reach Los Angeles.    The Rangers and Astros are coming to DFW instead of Houston after their games today and are unsure about their series that is scheduled to start on Tuesday in Houston.  The Houston Texans cannot get home and are practicing in Frisco with their game in Houston on Thursday night maybe being moved.    I hope that Lamar can get out of their area in order to play our game on Saturday but I THINK both teams are open on October 7th so moving the game might be an option if it can't be played this week.  Let's keep all these folks in our prayers and hope for the best.

My dad lives in Rosenberg. I don't remember cemetery right off 36 but Davis Greenlawn is right at the corner of 2218 and 59. Is that the one?

I'll bet it's the Gooden Funeral Home and Cemetery.   That's just off 36 just past some railroad tracks.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Here’s the thing, I don’t think even you believe they would have lost the way SMU did. Penn State won by 28, but they could have made it more…SMU was NEVER in that game competitively…and they never should have been in it at all. They dodged the only two “decent” teams in a VERY weak ACC during the regular season and lost anytime they played a decent team.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Look, as for SMU….they’re 30 minutes down the road. You can say “why are we talking about them” they’re in the top 12 playoff. We have to get over it. We’re college football fans. Of course SMU being in the playoff is going to be discussed. But as for their performance….it was expected. They got super lucky with their schedule this year. Just like Indiana. If you plugged Memphis or Tulane in their spot, they would’ve done the same thing. Their QB is no better than most QBs we faced in the AAC this year. Our QB was as good as him. That’s just the truth. so they were a really good AAC team this year that got a super lucky schedule in a bad conference. I don’t hold anything against them for that. BUT We can’t really discuss them for much longer because the current college landscape is set up to make them a national powerhouse. They have a good coach. He is. And he got them in the national discussion. And they can take that with their money and go on an unbelievable run. Their QB won’t be here next year. Of course he won’t. They’ll pay a better one. Their NIL will dwarf every team in the ACC. I would bet their NIL will be top 10 in the country. Maybe top 5. They’ll have more $$ available than Bama. Arguably UT. What do they need? 4 star DE? 3 top OL? QB? 2 WR? There’s no cap to what they can pay. So we have to move on from SMU. They will be in the playoff a lot. So of course we’ll talk about them because they’ll be in the playoff. But we have to get over it. Are they scum bags? Yes. Of course. They have too much money and they will win. The landscape has changed. And they will succeed because they can pay. We have to hope we break off and do our own thing

      My post was sarcasm. Not only would they have to install a new system, but as I said, they would have get to know the players as well. It’s ridiculous to think it should be done or even could be done.
