The 2026 Rice Football season previews march on. This week, we’re joined by the hosts of the Uptown Update to look ahead at Tulane.
One of the most curious coaching hires of the offseason has led to turbulence in the long-held belief that Tulane football was a plug-and-play operation. The program will look a lot different when Rice football meets them on the gridiron this fall compared to their most recent meeting in New Orleans in 2024. Our friends from the Uptown Update Podcast walk us through those changes and help us sort out which expectations should (or shouldn’t) be adjusted.
We talked through it all. You can find previous episodes on the podcast page. For now, give a listen to Episode 233.
