Congrats, Rice football
The Thresher would like to congratulate the football team for its upset victory against rival University of Houston (see story, page 11).The season began with a solid performance against the University of Texas Longhorns, the #5 team in the country at the time. The Owls followed up with a close victory over the University of North Texas but were then held disappointingly winless in their next four games until this past Saturday against Houston. The win puts Rice at 2-5 overall and 1-2 in conference play. More importantly, the Owls were able to defeat their rivals, capture the Bayou Bucket for the second time in six years, and do it all in front of a spirited homecoming crowd. The thrilling victory and offensive explosion certainly creates optimism for the remainder of the season; the Bayou Bucket victory could very well be the staple win in the Owls' season and provides reason for the student body to support the team as we attempt to ride the momentum into the season's home stretch. The Thresher encourages all students to support not just football games, but all athletic events on campus.
