Let me start by saying that I am not here to troll. The title of this column is not some smart-ass, cynical plea for someone else, anyone else, to get Kurt Roper the hell out of Columbia.
I genuinely think Rice should hire Kurt Roper. He may not be the sexiest name in the country, but let’s be honest. Rice isn’t even the sexiest name in Houston.
There are a lot of reasons this move makes sense. Let’s start with the fact that Roper is a Rice alum. I know the days of “Mama calling you home” are over in college football.
