So the Comical runs this story on the upcoming Rice-UH snoozer with the caption Barbs Fly At Luncheon For UH-Rice.
But after reading the story, I’m surprised that anyone actually stayed awake during the luncheon. And staying awake during the actual football game will probably be nearly as tough (I, of course, am taking my friend Dave’s advice, who wisely warned when I mentioned I was trying to decide between Caitlin Cary and UH-Rice that I could catch mediocre football anytime). Certainly I wouldn’t call what transpired barb laden.
Barbs would be what come flying out of Bob Stoops’ mouth during OU-Texas week, or Jimmy Johnson’s mouth when referring to Jerry Jones’ cosmetically altered dome.
These weren’t barbs.

De gustibus non disputandem est and all that. You can have your battle of the Enormous State Universities. I’ll take Rice versus anyone anyday. Between UH’s air game and Rice’s option, this ought to be a great game.
Fair enough. But that was a very polite lunchtime exchange (not that we need Darrell Royal vs. Barry Switzer in this city).
I will concede that these two teams seem evenly matched. But neither one can compete with Caitlin Cary. 🙂
Especially since the storms are set to roll in. It’s UH’s home opener, after all — it has to rain. Natural law or something at work.
