Going to the Texas Bowl!

Rice University is one of the elite educational institutions in the county. It is a small school, enrollment wise, and has a great deal of trouble fielding a competitive football team on a regular basis. But this year the Owls are 9-3 and have been invited to participate in the Texas Bowl on December 30.

I just called and got tickets to see the game. They have a family package that includes 4 tickets, 4 hot dogs, 4 sodas, and a program for only $89! So My wife and I will take the two youngest grandsons to see the game. The ticket agent just callled me back and told me that someone had backed out on tickets on the front row, so now we will be on the front row of the third level!

There is a possibility that the opponent will be Notre Dame. I would love that to happen! Notre Dame has such a storied history, but they are not particularly good this year. I think Rice can beat them. It would be the first ten win season for the Owls in nearly 60 years!

Track Or A Football Game?

I took two of my grandsons to watch the football game between crosstown rivals Rice University and the University of Houston, for the coveted Bayou Bucket. After six plays the Houston Cougars were up 14-0. Then they had a couple of misplays and the Owls tied it up. But by the end of the FIRST quarter, the score was 28-14 Coogs.

But the turnover bug bit them and they were trailing 34-26 at the half and went down as much as 41-28 in the third quarter. But the explosiveness of UH was too much for Rice and the final score was 56-48 in favor of the Cougars.

To say the least, a wild game!
