    Bigtexx is about rice football, so there's nothing to talk about that's why he trolls the big schools

    Yeah I forgot about that.

    The biggest football game that was ever played in Rice Stadium was over 40 years ago and the Owls didn't even play in it.

    How many Super Bowls has UT-Austin hosted?

    or any Ut-system school?

    Could you imagine Rice throwing a Super Bowl party. "Hey guys and gals, I have a fun Super Bowl game we can play! Let's imagine if there were actual gals here!"

    the man makes a fair point...Texas can't hold a candle to the institution that is Rice football

    Actually, it seems like he was more insulting the size of Austin and the location of your stadium rather than the actual football program.

    I find it hilarious that your response to my post implies that because Rice University hosted a Super Bowl back in 1974 their football program's legacy and stature in the college football landscape is greater than that of the University of Texas.

    My point is that your football program's home stadium hosted 1 big game in it's history. That your team wasn't even a part of. A Super Bowl that no one outside of Houston, Miami or Minnesota remembers.

    I wouldn't go around bragging about Rice Stadium's one Super Bowl 40 years ago when the University of Phoenix has hosted 2 in the last 10 years.

    Actually that was a home run for me. Dayton Mack did in fact make an official surprise visit to UT that weekend...and....guess when Kyler Murray made his announcement on Twitter? That would be about 11 pm on Thursday night.

    Thanks for playing though.

    Melt butter
    Add marshmallows
    When melted, stir in Rice Crispies
    Form into football shape
    Throw ball into the proverbial shortbus of athletic talent that is Rice
    Give everyone a participation ribbon when mallowball is gone

    AKA Rice spring practice.

    kudos for strong going after them, but it's ridiculous they that post all these stuff on their twitter /instagram accounts to screw with the fans.

    seriously, its not a hard decision after you visit UT, either you like it or you don't. they should just tell coach Strong yes or no instead of dragging this crap down to the wire.

    I guess I basically agree with that but they don't bother me. For many this is there 15 minutes of fame. It must be hard for some who are surrounded by so many that have there own agendas. I don't mind if they take it up all the way to signing day. They can sign with whoever they want, I just hope the take advantage of the oppertunity they have.
