The Baylor Bears travel to Houston to take on the Rice Owls in their final non-conference matchup of the 2016 season. The game between the two teams will be aired live nationally on ESPN at 7 p.m. CT.

RICE SERIES HISTORY

  • Baylor and Rice will meet for the 81st time Friday. Winners of seven straight against Rice, Baylor leads the series 48-30-2. Rice is the second former Southwest Conference rival on Baylor’s 2016 schedule (Baylor defeated SMU, 40-13, on Sept. 10). Prior to Baylor and Rice leaving the Southwest Conference in 1996, the series with the Owls had been played continuously for 71 years (with the exception of World War II) as conference rivals.
  • Since moving into the Big 12 Conference in 1996, Baylor is 10-0 in non-conference games against former Southwest Conference (non-Big 12) rivals -- 6-0 vs. SMU and 4-0 vs. Rice.
  • Friday will be just the fifth series meeting since the Southwest Conference disbanded.
  • In 2010’s last series meeting in Houston, Robert Griffin III passed for 268 yards and three touchdowns to lead Baylor to a 30-13 win over Rice on a rain-soaked Saturday night that included a weather delay of about an hour. The Bears outgained Rice 456 to 296.
  • Baylor’s coaching connections with Rice also run deep as former defensive coach Larry Hoeffer (2003-10) is the Rice safeties coach and former director of operations Jerry Pickle (1986-2007) is on the Owls’ operations staff.

Time to say F the media and bring Art down from the stands. His staff looks pretty damn weak without him.

This is terrible.

I want to blame it on Art being in the stands but I'm smarter than that.

Blaming this on Grobe is asinine. I'm more inclined to point the finger at the asshat that just got fired and thought it would be a good idea to come check on his old job than Grobe.

So many distractions. The sunshine pumper in me thought we would still win 10 games, but now logic is setting in. Just try to fight as hard as you can and then pray we make the right call in December.


If you had hired a brand new staff the hangover from the old staff and bad attitude would not be here. We talk about getting rid of Briles but kept his staff on for this year?


We get it. We understand how you feel. You don't need to keep telling us over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. And over. Move on to beating another dead horse.

We may not get 6 wins this season.

It is really starting to seem that way. Kansas still sucks but it's the only obvious win.

You're operating under the assumption that Morris would've just come. I know what was said, I read the same insider tidbits as you. I still am just not buying it. I'm not happy with the situation either, but I also don't believe there were any better options unless you wanted to go wayyyyyy down the hot board and find your coach there.

I don't care how many points we have in the first quarter. As long as we have the most after the 4th.

That's fine if you're looking to go 6-6. When you expect to play for championships...well scoring in the first quarter does matter. You can't watch this team right now and think it's good.

Y'all want KB to be the head coach? Clearly the offensive staff doesn't give AF.

Couldn't they call a penalty on the laser pointer? But who to call it on? Probably impossible to sort out.

I am amazed at how bad we look. Just Shocked. No energy. OL listless. Seth looks bad. WR's look bad. So far after 2.3 games the defense has far outclassed the offense.

The o line is not good and the qb is worse than that. Offense looks better when the guy throwing the ball can get it in the vicinity of the guy catching the ball.

They just tweeted an upset alert and Rice hasn't even scored. You tell me.

Baylor needs to change something up on offense... I vote for the WildBear.

First road game of the year. We've started slow on O this year. We will be fine. 4 quarters make a game.

Looks like KB doesn't care about his coaching career. Collect that free money then. If Baylor dumb enough to pay it, might as collect it.

Briles pulls out his laser pointer from the cheap seats trying to help out the team.

This level of play continues I say good freaking riddance to the coaching staff. They appear to be going through the motions. Hope I'm mistaken and just angry posting.

I'm not ready to panic. Obviously we are looking pretty terrible right now.
