Open Thread: Rice-Pitt

7 pm, ACC Digital Network/WatchESPN

Big game for Pitt. A must win.

At least as far as I’m concerned. My sister and brother-in-law both got post-graduate degrees at Rice. Have settled in Houston and are big Rice supporters overall. Needless to say, family bragging rights are on the line.

Rice is 8-2 on the season. After a slow start that included a loss to Texas Southern, the Owls have shown improvement from their usual residency in the basement of whatever conference they have been in (presently, Conference USA for those keeping track). They lost by one at Texas Tech two weeks ago.
