People go to fucking Sugar Land Skeeters independent minor league ball because it’s cheap and geared towards families. No one gives a fuck about the team. You’d think that Rice would have a leg up playing FBS football with local alumni here as well.
I’d like to see Rice do better as a program. Rice has a huge endowment, they can afford spending some money on upgrading Rice Stadium and their facilities. They could at a minimum add some food trucks and try to offer something other than an empty sea of asphalt parking during their games at Rice Stadium. They have a ton of young families in West U, Bellaire, Meyerland, Old Braeswood and other neighborhoods close by. TCU built their attendance by making their games affordable and fun for Ft Worth families. Rice doesn’t seem to spend any effort into promoting or investing in their program. There is zero buzz anywhere during their games. They could be creative and make Rice Village fun for pregame. You wouldn’t know a game is going on.
They’d be a better opponent for SOS purposes for the playoff, fan interest and value for a home game as a season ticket holder. I don’t have any connection to UH. I just pull for teams that are from Htown when they don’t play the Horns. I’d like to see Rice do better as a program too.

Can’t watch ACC network on the ESPN app either. The bastards block it because I don’t get it at home. Reminds me of the suck of no Longhorn network. Us sucking on the field plus having to find an illegal stream a few years ago was a terrible combo.
I have Xtra too. I was told I’d need to add the out of market RSN package which is worthless because Texas is not an ACC state. No ACC network on Xfinity either.
I wasn't a fan of the Rams blue and white helmet paired with their regular white, gold and blue unis they trot out. Just looks mismatched. The blue and white helmet with their throwback blue and white unis are sharp as fuck.
