Cleveland won a pro sports championship.
The Chicago Cubs won the World Series.
Bama lost the national championship by the slimmest of margins.
Notre Dame went 4-8.
Donald Trump is about to become president.

Someone wished on a monkey's paw, didn't they?

Rice and Stanford will open next season in Australia.

I'm not sure why, though. Rice is going to get flattened (just like this year), and has a small fanbase that will neither draw a bunch of local alumni nor draw a bunch of traveling alumni. I guess Rice thinks they'll get a chance at name recognition for Australian students in the process of being flattened by a superior football team (and academic institution, for the most part)?

Also this was going to be a Rice home game, so that's one less opportunity for the MOB to make fun of the only other scatter-band school we're likely to play.

yeah but wasn't there that one time their band owned TA&M by insulting Reveille being dead or something? Rice will always own after that.

The time that angry Aggie fans surrounded the MOB in Rice Stadium was after a show that featured a formation of a fire hydrant (and a joke about Reveille pissing) and goose-stepping. There were no dead dog jokes that year.

Yeah but Reveille #whatever had died earlier that week or something right? And they were playing oh where or where has my little dog gone during the fire hydrant thing.

That show was in 1973; the Reveille at the time "reigned" from 1966 to 1975. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reveille_(dog)

Also :lol:

if you think the MOB had a "locker room" (they were trapped in the tunnel leading into Rice Stadium). The MOB since its inception has been housed in the basement of the student center, the basement of the Central Kitchen (which stopped being the Central Kitchen but continued to be the band hall for some time before the university decided they wanted to use both spaces for something), a basketball court that they only had part-time use of, and only this year did they get an actual purpose-built space (renovated from the old football weight room).

This would be great except the Falcons would go 4 and out and everyone in the stadium knew it

Yeah, even if the Falcons had gotten the ball, they'd have lost once the game got to OT.

I'd honestly rather have basketball-style overtimes where they play a full shortened period (10 minutes?) and forget the sudden death bullshit entirely, but I understand why that's not as feasible.

Rice has rebranded

and before you ask, yes, thankfully that rad old english "R" logo survives

I am vaguely surprised that anyone else posted about this before I did.

The wordmark has that "this will look incredibly dated in ten years" feeling, and I don't understand why they're using both the script R (which is indeed rad) and that loving wordmark.

The new owl logos look good, though.

The only thing worse than having your stadium named by a corporate sponsor is for the corporate sponsor to be as unglamorous as Kroger

Honestly, I'm not sure if a corporate sponsor is that much worse than just naming it for a booster with really deep pockets. You're taking money for it either way, and it's probably easier to terminate a sponsorship contract than try to erase some horrible racist/rapist/pedophile booster's name.

I could almost have been okay with Penn State fans complaining about the NCAA's involvement (because the scandal was mostly unrelated to the football team). I am not okay with them continuing to venerate Joe Paterno, knowing what we know now.

gently caress Penn State forever.

Haven't read yet but a few weeks ago on his podcast he had an interesting take on relegation: use it only among the G5 to fill a sixth power conference.

This is sort of awkward because it means those schools have a harder time maintaining regional rivalries, and travel expenses will vary year to year based on who's promoted. If Hawaii gets out of the dumpster one year, suddenly the Consolation Prize Conference becomes a much less lucrative thing for G5 schools.

I tried to demonstrate this principle at my sister's wedding (I was the man of honor because "well, [groom] gets to have his brother next to him, I want mine next to me"). 2 minutes, outlined and rehearsed but not scripted. Then the groom's brother made up for it by speaking for like 10 minutes.

Then there was a surprise flash mob because apparently in 2017 every wedding must have a flash mob.

Australians not caring about American football will be more taken in by the cynical hijinks of the Rice Band which will lead to the destruction of Stanford as an institution of higher learning within 20 years.

You think the MOB has the budget to go to Australia. The MOB barely has the budget to go to one bus-trip-distance road game per season.

The MOB got a new band hall (the old football weight room, its first in its entire history which is not a basement or a basketball court) and I have no idea who convinced the university to spend money on it.

The only problem with this game is that it's going to be a goddamn massacre, and I say this as a Rice fan. It's like how the NFL always sends the Dolphins and Jaguars to London: not the best representation of the caliber of the sport.
