ESPN Matchup Predictor has MT's chances at Rice 9.8%

BTW, the highest chance ESPN gives MT of a win the rest of the season is when Charlotte visits. MT's chances of a win against Charlotte is 16.1%.

 

[MT Glenn]

ESPN Matchup Predictor has MT's chances at Rice 9.8%

So they're saying there's a chance!

 

[FranklinRaider315]

Been in that old stadium a few times. They played Super Bowl VIII there in ‘74. Watched Rice play TCU there in the early 90’s when I lived in the Houston area. Rice was actually pretty good in those years. Not a bad seat in the house.

ESPN Matchup Predictor has MT's chances at Rice 9.8%

The lowest so far, if I remember correctly.

Why even play these games? Why risk the virus? Why waste the jet fuel?

We are 1-5 with zero hopes of doing anything meaningful this year. Cancel the rest of the season and spend that time looking for a new coaching staff, a new athletic director, and a new president for the university.

 

[MTLynn]

and a new president for the university.

When mcphee is gone, THEC will replace him with someone similar... or worse.

Why do I say that? They have repeatedly given him extensions and raises because he is doing what they want - just as massaro is doing what mcphee wants.

Weekly press conference is currently live on Facebook. CRS is already making excuses for a game that hasn't even been played yet.

Weekly press conference is currently live on Facebook. CRS is already making excuses for a game that hasn't even been played yet.

That's because the whole usual schpiel of "all our goals are still within reach" is totally out the window now.

I’m going to save myself the time. I’m sure we face a “really good football team this week” even though there isn’t really any way to know that since they haven’t played a game. Oh and I bet we have a bunch of guys injured. How did I do?

You forgot they are well coached.

 

[MT01]

Damn. So close.

 

[MT Glenn]

He also threw in the we don't have any game film to prepare for them, but they have 6 games of us to prepare with.
