After making the trek to Ruston last year for that thrilling game, my buddy and I are heading down to Houston the first weekend of February to see the Green duke it out with the Rice University Screaming Peras. Would be nice to see an even bigger UNT crowd there than LA Tech last year. The game starts at 7 pm so you can wait until Saturday to make the drive. Anyone else planning on going?

Interesting that UTA tickets start at $8 for their nice, new arena while Rice starts at $15 for their dump - before Ticketbastard fees. If you wait until game day tickets start at $18.

I'll be there.

There usually is a good number of Mean Green fans at Rice - both alumni and family & friends of the team.

I bet Rubin's Mom and family are there.  I used to follow her on Twitter, but haven't heard much from her lately.  She is a great fan and I would love to meet her some day.

pregame. 

How about Little Woodrow's?

Actually...  I'll check with Claudia at the Alumni association to see if an event is being planned.

I was planning on grabbing a bite across the street from Woodrow’s pregame. I enjoy several spots in rice village when I drive down from kingwood. Will head to dinner early so we can walk over and grab a drink with the fellow fans.

With tipoff being at 7pm, I think meeting around 5 - 5:30 is about right, with plenty of time to walk over and buy tickets if you leave Little Woodrows at 6 - 6:15.  Here's the google map for walking between Little Woodrows and the Tudor Fieldhouse:

There's really no parking in front of Little Woodrows or along Morningstar drive, and you have to pay for the parking garage in the shopping center anyway, so I usually park in West Lot 5, as close to University Blvd as possible (for whatever Rice charges - $10?), so that I have the least walk back to my car after the game.  But to each is own...

As for tickets, as @UNTLifersaid in the game thread, nobody ever checks your ticket once you're in. 

Here's the link to the tickets / seating map page: https://riceowls.com/sports/2018/7/17/tickets-m-baskbl-tickets-html.aspx?id=13.  Sometimes I've bought the GA tickets, and sometimes the "Upper Side" tickets, and usually end up siting in the mezzanine "seats", behind our bench.  When I say "seats", they are plastic "seats" fastened to the concrete, with no backs.  Only the $30 & $35 "Chairback" seats are real seats.  I don't remember whether the GA seating, which is essentially a balcony, even has seats.

For those who go for the first time, the Tudor Fieldhouse will give you a whole new appreciation for the Super Pit.  They say it fits 5,000, but I don't think so...  Here's pictures I took last year - I guess the GA section does have "seats":

Is any of the parking free?

In the Rice lots, I don't think so. On the streets in Rice village, well, you'd have to drive around and see if you can find something.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
