Thanks. I never knew that. Good useless trivia that I'll never use because nobody gives a shit about either team.

Rice is a baseball school

Serious question: Does Houston have a rival? I know they hate Texas and they all say Texas is afraid of them and won't schedule them (). But do they have a true rival?

Well, apparently somebody gave enough of a shit to ask.

Wish I could go to this game. Reliant Stadium is a good venue -- went to a couple of Texans games and the Texas Bowl one year there.

Yep, Houston and Rice are the two closest FBS football schools in the country, just 5 miles apart.

Definitely a great trivia question that nobody ever gets right. Most people guess UNC and Duke.

I don't ever expect to be asked that question, do you?

My guess would have been University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University... they are 6 miles apart

Closest FBS football schools are Houston amd Rice. Closest FBS and FCS football schools are Florida State and FAMU which are only 3 blocks apart. Closest D1 basketball schools are Drexel and Penn located only a few hundred feet apart.

I used to walk across both the Drexel and Penn campuses on my way to work.

This will by first attempt to watch a game this season online. I can subscribe to ESPN for a day (10 Euros), but is there a better way to watch the game online? I wish I'd brought my Roku3 on vacation.

You Mormons sure have dirty mouths. I'm pretty sure that's against the Honor Code.

@D_Lowe11: 2 AM fire alarm... I love it.

Nice, Houston High. Next they steal Cosmo.

[Uncle Ted]

There really isn't that much to do here, really, there isn't.

Yep... I rolled into H-Town last night. This place is dead.

Tripledaddy I venture to say they will about 35-40K give or take (we had 35k for Rice game and Rice poeple don't go to football games, both schools in the same city) mostly UH people there, keep mind we are not playing 2013 games on campus while our new stadium is being built now if BYU supporters show up, could be much better crowd. We use to play games in the Astrodome back in the day talking about the late 70's early 80's, we averaged about 45k consitently in the dome and it only held about 52,000 people, and this back in the late 70's and 80's w're talking about here ...when we played UT, A&M, Arkansas they would be sell out games. Considered by many sport historians the greatest college basketball game of the 20th century UCLA vs UH we played in the Astrodome, 1st BB game to be played in such a venue of that size with the size crowd with a attendance record that lasted for decades at 52k plus attending If you don't believe it, check your sport history.

It looks like your new stadium will hold around 40,000. Y'all are not thinking big enough.

I don't ever expect to be asked that question, do you?

Good thing that you're preparing yourself for impossibilities, then. Time well spent.

I really don't get the douchebaggery on display in this thread. Okay, it's a relatively insignificant football program these days without a fanbase. Well, if that's your argument, what does it say about us that we scheduled them? Geez, I don't see the point in treating the two lonely UH fans who happen to wander on our own little board with such derision.
