LOL we kept a home gate? A&M kept it not any of you dildos posting on this board.

You guys played Texas State of the Sunbelt conference and you whine about UT and Rice, who we have been playing for a century?
It's a tradition game. You guys used to have traditions and then you became just another real and real rich state university

Let's see. NRG at 72 degrees. Rice Stadium, DKR, and Kyle Field at 95+ and humid. A chance for Houston area kids with no money to travel to see the team. I'll take "Why don't we do this every year" for $100, Alex.Muy said:
Think they're playing at NRG... because it's such a big deal.
1. Many can't afford to travel much.Bonfire1996 said:As already stated...OK_Sip said:Bonfire1996 said:
Who cares if it is at the big Houston venue. You split ticket sales, and gave up home gate and everything that goes with that for freaking rice?
I have no issue with Texas playing Rice in Houston. It's crucial to recruit there and Texas has a large alumni base there.
1. Do Houston recruits travel by horse and buggy?
2. It's a Rice home game. Sips can't give free tix to recruits.
3. Texas alumni are going to pay good money to go to this game. Too bad Rice gets to keep most of it.
Sips are too dumb to insult.

However, with low gas prices, 11:00 am kickoffs, and Groupon tickets, most anyone can do this day trip with a little planning and budgeting.Bonfire1996 said:As already stated...OK_Sip said:Bonfire1996 said:

2. I guess you don't know they just call Rice for free tix and see both teams. We don't battle Rice for recruits. Your five-star with a non-P5 offer list would run counter to that claim.
3. Our alumni and athletic dept. have enough money to afford getting to play in a stadium with ac once a year.We've been playing the pigs in Jerryworld every year. To be honest, we're trying to get out of this game because the gate sucks and both teams could make more money with a home and home.
Next.

That's where we misunderstood each other, kemosabe. I was speaking of us playing a road game against SMU, which was 2012...I know because I sweated my ass off with those entitled effers and then Tom Doniphon almost got us into a fight at the Dallas Pappadeaux'sABATTBQ87 said:BohunkAg said:He was a Redshirt freshman.

2012 (FRESHMAN)
Became the first-ever freshman and the second Aggie to win the prestigious Heisman Trophy, college football's top individual honor, by more than 150 first-place votes after a record-setting season
Aggies played rice August 31, 2013 the year AFTER Manziel won the Heisman. So it was his second season, which would be considered a redshirt sophomore season

A whopping 42,000 showed up for the Texas ricearoni bowl at nerg stadium and that was generous. I guess the hoodlum horn fans that overran DKkr the week before didn't follow the team to Houston.
The night before WSU vs UH drew 40,500 to nrg.

Looks like it was in Dallas in 2014 also . . . and on Mockingbird . . .

Too much money to be made on home games now, but I like being able to drive 30 minutes to see a game instead of 3-4 hours. I wish everybody would schedule series like that.Caesar4 said:Aggies also played SMU in Dallas, at Ford Stadium, in 2012.South Platte said:BohunkAg said:That's where we misunderstood each other, kemosabe.

Damn. I think it's my fault.Caesar4 said:
I think something got mis-communicated here:
- Bohunk: Ags played at SMU in 2012
- Platte: No, it was probably 2014
- Caesar: I think Bohunk indeed meant 2012
- Platte: I like short drives on gameday. ???

Texas has been scheduling games in Housto
There's nothing desperate about longhorn recruiting. Herman is dominating

Attendance at rice stadium normally runs around 17,000. So you can figure about 25-28,000 were sip fans, which figured into the rice take from the game. This was one of the reasons why the SWC dissolved and the teams went their separate ways!
