Rally around Rice

After practicing cheers in their respective residential colleges, Rice’s newest Owls put their game faces on and received a crash course in Rice athletics Tuesday evening at the Rice Rally, as head football coach David Bailiff encouraged them to show their support during all Rice sporting events. The Owls’ football season opener is against Texas A&M University. Kickoff is set for noon Aug. 31 at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas.
