Rice fires Mike Bloomgren after 1-5 start. I know this will come as a surprise to some as it did to me.

Surprised Rice still has a team.

No kidding. They simply aren't competitive and really never have been other than an occasional year against C-USA level competition. Not sure what they expect to get by firing a coach who just took them to two straight bowls.

Hello? Is this the Rice University Athletic Department? This is Mike Norvell at FSU. Can I speak with your Athletic Director?
My name again? Mike Norvell….

I wish we would schedule them. It really bothers me that Alabama is 0-3 against them.

Well... when did we last play them? Like 1955 when Ears was losing badly for us? Ha!

Wait... I actually looked this up and yep...

We lost to them 6-28 in 1953 with a 6-3-3 Cotton Bowl team. Then Drew left after a losing season the next year.

Then we played them back to back in 1955 and 1956 under Ears! Ouch.

The 0-10 team in 1955 lost 0-20 and the 2-7-1 team in 1956 lost 13-20.


We definitely need to schedule them.

The saints fired their coach today. Could they look to college for a coach?

If this happens and Brent Vennables gets fired, we may have an opportunity for a huge upgrade at DC.

Or call Jim Leonard
