Pick for Rice to end it.  Houston and Rice both win as double digit dogs today.  Guess there was something in the air.

How was the Rice game delayed 6 hours, but Coug High finished their game after an initial 45 minute delay?

Their stadiums are less than 4 miles from each other.

Lol Rice gonna beat Navy after firing Bloomgren 5 days ago

image.thumb.jpeg.63c2a2992d1febeac531ec9e46c89e11.jpegIndeed there was something in the air yesterday.  In the fall of 1969 when I was a lowly freshman at the Institute on South Main, we had a football coach named Bo Hagan.  You may view above the few tattered remains of a wallpapering job for the ages.  One fine inky dark night in 1969, intrepid Rice fans and students most precisely and completely covered the schedule bill board on South Main with hundreds (thousands?) of bumper stickers bearing the legend “FIRE BO HAGAN.”  Hagan was an alumnus and former football player at the University of South Carolina.  He was OC under Jess Neely until Neely’s retirement in 1967.  The Owls lost about three games for every one victory and the fan base, such as it was, had had enough.  The administration called out the ganomies, who removed all but a few of the more stubborn stickers.  If you embiggen the image a few stickers remain visible.  Tis only just that South Carolina and Rice were victorious again.  I searched in vaun for a good image of the fully stickered billboard, which I saw with my own two eyes.  That fall we did manage to crush the warmongering VMI Keydets, 55-0, in one of Rice’s all time most lopsided wins.  We also won at A&M.  So, we had that going for us.  There was a greatvlot of Led Zep II, Abbey Road and Quicksilver Messenger Service drifting across the yards at Rice that fall, along KLOL radio, weed smoke, hash smoke and way too much Judy Blue Eyes (hated that one).

Guess those 4 miles were all the difference.  I think the ncaa rule is no lightning within 8 miles of the stadium for 30 minutes before you can start back up.
