    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.

    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.
