FB game @Rice rescheduled to 2029

Now hopefully they cancel it altogether. There is no universe or parallel reality in which LSU should ever be playing AT Rice

I mean we use to play them every year between 1932 and 1983. In fact we've had more match-ups against them than Georgia or Tennessee historically.

I'm also pretty sure we would be playing them at NRG stadium and not at Rice Stadium.

Yeah probably this.

Game was originally scheduled for 2024. Likely part of the switch to the 9-game conference schedule.

Agree. Probably see more of this from SEC schools in the next few months. Sankey wants the new schedule format in place by the SEC spring meetings.

I live in Houston and would enjoy attending that game. Would be fun. Keep your snarky comments to yourself.

I second this.

As convenient as it would be for our Houston posters I’m glad they’re kicking it down the road and assume it will be canceled completely once UT and OU join

What a stupid game




Thanks fraudward

If at NRG it would essentially be a home game for LSU with 60000 LSU fans

It might be good for the recruiting as Houston is loaded. Also, there are MANY alumni there. I attended two games in the '60's when Rice had a good team. They haven't been too good of late but you can't tell how good ANYone will be in 2029. LSU LOST BOTH games in Houston so there's that!

And for many of those years Rice was a legitimate top tier program.
