There is too much Texas talk and not enough about Rice this preseason.
I’m partly to blame. I fan the sparks in hopes of a full blaze anytime playing Texas is mentioned.
But at least for a few minutes, turn your attention to the Owls, the scheduled season-opening football opponent for Arkansas on Sept. 4.
It hit me that there was potential to overlook the Owls last week as I drove to a Fayetteville studio for a recording session. The interview was about the history of the Texas series.
The questions were predictable. It was pretty mundane stuff to me because I’ve rehashed this stuff most of my life.
