It will definitely not be a cake walk. We showed some good things against a very good team in Clemson; but Rice performed better, at least on the scoreboard, against a better team in Texas. And whatever Kool-Aid I want to drink is offset by the memory of 20-77 against Rice in '08. I am optimistic this time around, but very cautiously so.

Good point Plumm. One thing that makes me nervous......

I hope our team isn't reading their press and getting the feeling that they've "arrived".

I hope the coaching staff is doing a good job of keeping them focused this week.

We can beat Rice. But we can't have a bunch of mental mistakes.

Good gosh this is going to be a looooong week. I can't wait until Saturday!

Why would ANYONE think that ANY GAME that we play this year would/might be a cake walk????...... :huh:

That is what I was wondering... Western shouldn't even be considered a cakewalk!

Will we put in the old 'power outage in the opponent's dressing room' play like we did for Baylor? Fouts could easily obllige with freaky stuff for the visitors.

Rice's performance was very similar to UNT's, however, if you look at the score they scored a trash TD in the last few seconds of the game which scoreboard to scoreboard makes them look better, but the one thing to note is that they were playing a top 10 team and we were not. Also, I dont know why anyone would even think that Rice would ever be a cake walk. Sure they had a bad record last year but so did we.

Rice had less than 200 yards total offense.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      Are you pleading for the student body to show up or alumni? A 6:30 game on a Wednesday is a B for someone that doesn’t live in close proximity. I live in Allen and could never consider that drive. We go to Americans hockey games as they are in our back yard. They aren’t very good but more of a deterrent for us to go to more, is no one is there….on a Tuesday night. If there stands were filled, it would feel more legit and we’d probably go more, even if the quality of play wasn’t there. I suspect the student body wants that same ‘experience’. When I was there so many years ago, we wanted to be where the action was, even if it was dash riprocks. So I see a bit of chicken and egg here. People don’t go because people don’t go. If people would go, more people would go. football games are so much easier to plan for. 1 game a week, generally on a Saturday. You can make a day/event out of it. Weekly, more frequent basketball games, on weeknights, don’t offer the same advantages. All that said, I applaud your plea and hope that the tides change. Would love to hear that the Pit is packed routinely.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      According to Burton, and I'm sure it's the same with some men's teams, some of the intra-TX teams that you'd think would bring more fans will only come play us if we give them a check. I think investing more in our schedule would be worth it for the larger crowds (plus extra tickets/concessions sold). Stop scheduling Mississippi Valley State. Get a UTA, Texas State, SHSU, LA Tech, UTEP, or SFA in here. Renewing rivalries with WKU and MTSU would also be fun. Agreed, I feel like there was more in the concourse a few seasons ago? But now it is mostly bare and dead. I would like to see somewhere on the concourse a spirit shop you walk through, like the Hangar at the AAC in Dallas. Perhaps it could be the on-campus NIL Store to provide an easy opportunity for our athletes to make more NIL earnings.
