The MOB does their halftime show. Unfortunately most of the time they were facing the other sideline so they were a little hard to hear.

After the MOB, the Western Michigan band did their show. It was pretty standard stuff. They have a large and loud band...at least compared to the MOB!

Carrie and me! Even though I look like I'm about to start drooling or something. Oh well.

Rice gets ready to start the second half!

Sammy leaped over the barrier to run through the stands. Woo!

By the end of the third quarter, Rice had the game pretty well in hand, and I even started to feel a little bad for WMU.

At the end of the third quarter, Rice had as many passing yards as was my room number at Rice! It must mean something!

Rice runs off the field after scoring yet another touchdown. Rout!

Carrie shows her Rice pride.

The game is nearly over, and a coach gets a Gatorade bath! (not the head coach, I think)

It's the last play of the game, and Rice gets ready to spike the ball.

The game's over! Rice wins the Texas Bowl!

The final score is Rice 38 - WMU 14.
