    The only time there's people at that stadium is when Rice plays the Coogs or when that stadium hosts the Strake Jesuit / Kinkaid game. Someone needs to redo that rendering with 2-3 people per row.

    ^^

    Hahaha worst analysis I've ever seen. The Chronicle is a complete joke. They've turned into clickbait pumpers.

    Litmus test for you - where would you rather walk at 3am - through Rice's campus, or UH's campus?

    If that same article was written about UH you would have placed it in the Cougars thread. Go sit down

    Meh, I worked at Rice (event staff stuff) for a while and never felt it unsafe, even when I did the occasional overnight shift for some special event. Although I do remember being advised to not walk alone from the other side of the stadium back to the main part of campus (through all those parking lots), but I did that when necessary anyway.

    The stats are what they are, but I'm just saying IMO no one should have any special concern for their safety while on that campus.

    Gotta talk about campus safety win poor team can't even beat a bad UTSA team the last 2 years. I feel sorry for those Rice fans because nothing in their football future looks bright. Good luck against PVAM.

    0-6 and the most crime ridden campus in the state.

    What a s***show.

    Have known Blain since he was about 8 years old due to our mother’s working together. Absolutely heartbreaking for his family.

    Does Rice have an HPD precinct on site asking black undergrads for their ID every time they go to Navy Seafood or the UC? If not, then that and the lower overall enrollment is probably why they're less safe per capita than UH.

    Rice still has a football team?

    Good for them. It's important to have a PE program for your students.

    Ex-Rice player charged in the death of Owls DL Blain Padgett

    A sad story that played out over the spring and on into the summer has taken another twist.

    In early March, Rice defensive end Blain Padgett was found dead in his apartment after he failed to show for a football workout and a wellness check was performed. In late June, the Harris County Medical Examiner’s Office determined that the 21-year-old’s death was caused by the toxic effects of carfentanil, which was described as being designed originally as an elephant tranquilizer.

    Friday, it’s being reported that former Owls defensive lineman Stuart Mouchantaf has been charged with manufacturing or delivery of a controlled substance in connection to Padgett’s death. Authorities allege that it was Mouchantaf who sold Padgett the pills that directly led to his death.

    The charge Mouchantaf is facing is a second-degree felony that carries a penalty ranging from five years to 99 years or life in prison.

    Padgett, who had undergone surgery a few months before his death, believed the pill he was taking was Hydrocodone. Carfentanil, the drug the pill Padgett took was laced with, is 10,000 times more potent than morphine and 100 times more potent than fentanyl. KTRK-TV in Houston wrote that “[a] lethal amount of carfentanil is so small, it’s invisible to the human eye.”

    “Buyers need to understand that when they buy these pills on the streets instead of pharmacies, they are literally playing Russian Roulette,” Assistant District Attorney Paul Fortenberry said according to the television station. “These pills look like the real deal, but they in fact are far more dangerous than even cocaine or heroin and are far less expensive.”

    The 25-year-old Mouchantaf played at Rice from 2012-15 after beginning his collegiate career at Blinn College.​
