[Texas Bowl] Rice to accept bid

I had a great time at the game...

On one hand, it would've been cool to have a really tight contest going down to the wire, but I"ll certainly take a Rice blowout!

The announced attendance was 58,880 - it looked like there were maybe ~50,000 actually there...of course, I'm probably inflating my opinion a bit...

Also, great to see JD pass one to Chase...and still get to catch one himself later!

This was a special class of seniors, and I feel privileged to have been able to see them play as a student.

 

Congrats Rice !

First 10 win season in about 60 years...and first bowl win in about 50 years.

Well done !

Coming from a Texas fan, I'll say that I was really impressed with Rice this season. You could tell that they had a lot more talent than in previous years. To me, the 52-10 final score against them wasn't completely indicative of their ability. All in all, congrats to Rice for a fantastic season. It's nice to see them put it all together and have a season worth being proud of.

Congrats on the bowl win, Rice fans! You deserve it this year.....

 

I was there with three friends and we were choosing up teams to cheer for. Initially, I took Western Michigan, then most of the Rice team came out and kneeled down in the end zone for a pregame prayer. After that we all decided to cheer for Rice.

 

That makes a lot of sense, lol.
