Watching the Armed Forces Bowl in FTW. The play by play guy just said something very close to:

"This is Rice and Texas State. Rice is a leader in Texas in academics. And Texas State knows how to have a good time."

I love it. No make-believe that there's quality higher-education to be had in San Marcos.

Yikes. Rice player carted off

Tiki Hardeman's son plays RB for Rice.

Bowl season was in full swing in Fort Worth on Friday, as Texas State took on in-state foe Rice.
There were plenty of pre-game festivities, including a fighter jet flyover and parachutists dropping into the stadium.
One of those parachutists, however, had a harder landing than he probably would have liked. Video shared by San Antonio Express-News beat reporter Keff Ciardello showed one of the five parachutists falling to the ground. Bowl officials told WFAA the parachutist walked off on his own power.

Well, all of them fell to the ground. One of them just hit the ground harder.

Do any of y'all actually think that Wake Forest vs. Mississippi State in the Mayonnaise Bowl is meaningless?

might be the most meaningful game this season

Not sure why Lashlee didn't think he was ready for a bigger job. He must think he has a chance to be a big dog in the ACC.

I am free…free fallin'

Texas State. Home of the t-shirt sips not quite angry enough to find themselves at Texas Tech.

And not getting it. (maybe)

That giant mayonnaise jar rerunning around on the sidelines looks very excited.

In future years, how could they restructure the bowl system to make the games more exciting and potentially minimize the opt-outs?

Have fewer bowl games to make it more of an honor to participate? 7-wins required to participate? …8?

Add clauses to NIL deals incentivizing players to participate? … or pay back if they don't finish the entire season voluntarily?

Went to the Armed Forces Bowl

Texas State fans are on par with Tech fans
