Rice, Rice, Rice!

I suspect they all have great personalities & are great dancers!

They’re probably a lot better at multi-variable calculus than our wives.

Sam Ehlinger is currently No. 12 nationally in passing, per CFB Stats
And only one of two quarterbacks in the top-15 without an interception.
One spot below at No. 13? SMU's Shane Buechele.

And he has actually played a real team...

Below are some very good Rice players in a generally historically sorry program (other than under Jess Neely):

Tommy Kramer QB mid 1970s

Trevor Cobb RB early 1990s

Dicky Moegle RB 1950s (most famous for being tackled by a Bama player coming off the sidelines in the Cotton Bowl--yes Rice used to make the Cotton Bowl sometimes under Neely)

Aaron Stanley S early-mid 1990s (led Rice defense in beating Mackovic's Longhorns)

"Ah, but I can explain. It was a very rainy field."

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

Michael Downs, who played a number of years for the Cowboys after he left Rice.

Cool helmets - with the screechy bird owl, instead of the fancy "R".

I like their Athenian owl logo, too. My stepson was in grad school there. Nice campus.

And here's the slightly more sinister version.

Little known fact: those 1,000s of gorgeous huge oak trees on Rice's campus weren't there when the Institute was founded. Back then it was a prairie with few trees. Goes to show that with 30 feet deep topsoil and 50 inches of rain per year (sometimes less, sometime a LOT more) you can grow some enormous trees in not too much time.

I'm not much of a gardener (to say the least), but growing up not far from Houston, I thought you could just plant a seed anywhere, do nothing much else, and huge plants or trees would just magically grow in short order (of course they come with huge weeds). I later learned it's a bit harder to grow things in most of this State.

And now DeMarvion Overshown is out with a back injury.

Finally some good news

I just checked, and my Direct TV package does not include CBSCN. Any help in getting the fame?

Wanna win Heisman, better be a QB.

It is a QB beauty pageant, now.

Cosmi in this early projection at 1.22

 

[Joe Fan]

And now DeMarvion Overshown is out with a back injury.

Sounds like Tyler Owens and/or Chris Adimora to take the Overshown role

Well, admittedly, the voters became wary of the slashing running backs getting the award after OJ...
