It's a chick holding the marriage proposal sign. It's not for real. Jordan Taylor is Rice's really good [apparently] WR.

Dang nashdog. I never realized that Rice has a small fanbase until I read your scathing assessment. My life is a sad husk of what it was prior to the incisive, erudite revelation you've bestowed upon me.</sarcasm>

Rice has fans. Not many, but they are the best. Just like Rice students.

I've got a degree from both schools and you can take that holier than thou ******** and go 17 yourself. Rice has a few fans. And most of them think they are smarter than everyone. News flash. You aren't. And your football isn't that good either.

Missouridawg,

Forgive me if I came on a little heavy-handed. Upon reading what I said again, it is obnoxious. As a former Rice student (and possibly fan?), you of all people should understand how tired the old "Rice has no fans" BS gets. I don't need you to tell me I'm not smarter than everyone; I have a wife for that. I never said I was smarter than everyone and I never disparaged Miss. State as an academic institution. I think you are a) making some broad generalizations about a fanbase and b) interjecting some of your personal misgivings into this situation. Maybe I pressed a button but your response seems like a bit of an overreaction to me. Maybe I should have just let nashdog's jab lie, but that just seems to reinforce the "no fans" stereotype. I am going to support my school and my team because that's what a fan does. As for our football not being good, I guess we'll find out on New Years' Eve.

P.S. Can somebody explain the significance of 17? I don't get it.

Rule 17 on the lengthy and insignificant rules on the six pack. Actually it's the only rule that's been enforced since the great purge of ought 13. Rule 17, no F words on the pack!

17...it's the average number of fans at your home games.

Dawgbite,

I got the gist that missouridawg wanted me to go fornicate myself, but I wasn't sure how that related to the number 17. Thanks for clearing that up.

17...it's the average number of fans at your home games.

HotMop,

I would have guessed it was the total number of teeth in your family...maybe your combined finger and toe count. Apparently I was mistaken. I didn't know you had our attendance numbers handy.

This board can be a lot of fun, but we get enough of that "holier than thou" from Ole Miss. No need for you guys to do it. I hope you stick around here and have a little fun, but lets call a spade a spade. Rice won't have 5000 fans at the Liberty Bowl. Making jabs at their attendence on an MSU message board should be expected. Not sure why that caught you off-guard. You can address that "no-fans" stereotype in many different and more constructive ways than you choose to do here.

In regards to fandom, I don't think I could call myself a fan of Rice. As a baseball guy, I go to a few Rice games a year, but I usually sit there while listenting to MSU play. My fandom lies in with MSU first and foremost. Mizzou second, as I grew up a fan of them. And then, if there was a 3rd team, it would probably be Rice (or Baylor, as I've grown to like them the last 4 or 5 years). I've tailgated at Rice, but only watched the one quarter of actual Rice football (last year against U of H at Reliant). I can't force myself to watch Rice play when there is quality football on the TV.

And for your notes, when you use the word erudite, it means you think you are better than someone. Even moreso on a sports message board. Save that elitist grammar ******** for someone who gives a 17.

If it makes you feel better, I think we had a similar smack exchange with northwestern last year, and they beat us. However, UVA tried the academic smack in post-season baseball and we "beat that ***", if you will.

Good luck December 31.

Well folks, looks like my Bulldogs and your Nocturnal Birds (?) will be matching up New Years Eve. It looks like it should be an entertaining and competitive Game. Just wanted to wish you all luck (you'll need it ;-)). Also, I hope you all show some class.** College Football going to be on display as our two great teams match up. Let's make this look good.
