Those counting Rice as a win next year need to hold their horses. They look pretty good and have a lot coming back.

Yeah, after watching them deftly start to wrap this up and wear out AF, I looked up their roster...

...only like 7-8 SRs, 4 of them starting this year.

They're going to be really tough next year.

Who's the team with a R on their helmet? They should totally "spell out" the name of their school...so we know who's playing! Ha!

BTW Rice looked pretty salty with the win. 2nd half shut out.

Speaking of helmet talk, if you look close, the pattern on the AF helmets is made of stealth bomber silouettes. Pretty cool.

Impossible!! We all know "young" teams can't be competitive.

FFRick and I were also at this game. I was impressed by what TCU did to their stadium. I still prefer Apogee because of where/how we have our seating but it is a first rate facility.

At 44 degrees at kickoff this morning the chill factor was nearly 30 degrees warmer than the last time Emmitt and I attended this bowl game.

I'll never concern myself over access in and out of Apogee ever again. For all of the big money brewhaha TCU spent on stadium improvements...their access and parking is still absolutley pathetic, and that was for just-over a half full stadium.

Rice is disciplined on both sides of the LOS. I like how they dont waste time or timeouts, especially on short yardage downs. And they still know how to use the TE as a weapon.

Their fanbase is still tiny, saw high school games with more fans in the stands this year than they had today. Still, they will be tough next year with so much talent returning. It was good to see a C-USA team dominate one from the Mountain.

      Is this the best team UNT has ever had?

      Can We Get the PA Fixed Before Tulsa?

      Didn’t show up. We noticed early on that it looked like Tulsa was going to have more students in the stand than NT.

      Good Game for Caponi and the Defense

      If you're going to only use 3 down linemen, it makes sense that a defense that uses 4 linebackers is more effective than one that uses 3. I get that the star position is supposed to be a hybrid safety/LB but it just hasn't worked here for whatever reason. We stopped the run because we had four linebackers in position to fill run gaps past the line of scrimmage. And, unfortunately, I think having a really complex backfield with a mix of 5 safeties and corners only works if you have the best personnel AT OTHER POSITIONS NOT IN THE BACKFIELD. For a 3-3-5 to work, the front 3 and linebackers have to be perfect and that is asking a lot. Happy with the 3-4 and multiple D change.

      But didn't the band sound great playing Mr Brightside!!... a "hype" song that came out before many of our students were born. It sucked when it came out, and the hold that it has over people 20+ years later drives me bananas. Why our band plays it either demonstrates they have bad taste in music, or don't care to learn anything more contemporary and less awful to play during games.

      Speaking of... $cam Rising dressed and didn't play another week for Utah. Utah fell at home to Arizona by two posessions. Cam could teach a Masterclass on how to collect NIL checks and poison your team for multiple seasons.
