Congratulations to our football teams
The Thresher would like to congratulate the football team on its successful season, in which it finished as the Conference USA champions and earned the opportunity to play in the Liberty Bowl. Although the team did not win the bowl game against Mississippi State, the players put in a great effort, and it was an accomplishment just to be invited to the game. We hope to see continued success next year.
Further, the Thresher was happy to see a show of support from students who traveled to the game to cheer on their team. We encourage students to continue to show their Rice spirit and support their athletic teams this year.
