A 5-7 Rice could still make a bowl

We probably hold 1st place in NCAA for going to bowl games with losing records at three. We also lost all three bowl games.

Kind of confirms we probably shouldn’t have been there in the first place. Lol.

I am thinking this might be a bowl game we could win.

If so, I'm thinking something along the lines of 52-42.

I know it’s petty, but I couldn’t stand the UH band.  I have flashbacks to their drums just endlessly blasting noise during the game. Again, I know I’m being petty.

Rice will probably surprise us this weekend.  Isn't that how it plays out here?

We went as a 4-win team.

No way. UTSA stomped them on the ground just running the ball.

Well it is suppose to start raining tomorrow-thrusday morning.  40% of rain Saturday morning, west wind 10-20 mph. high 54 degrees.  You know if a drop of rain drops Saturday at 7 am we lose 25% of the fans that were going to attend.  It won't be pretty with the Thanksgiving holiday and the students not there.  The students showed up for the last game.   

Side note I went to the Fresno BB game and the students were well represented but the Season ticker holders were missing.  Even the guys who sit on the floor weren't there.  The first game I went to there were a lot of season ticket banners on the seats and I thought this a lot better than I recall.  The Fresno game I could see a lot of those banners.  I bought an extra seat because I wanted to support Mac and the team.

Oh right. 2020 doesn't count for anything in my book. I watched maybe 20 minutes of college football that year. It had 1994 MLB strike replacement player vibes I couldn't get over.
