The Roost Podcast | Ep 183 – Rice Football falls to SHSU

By

Rice football began its 2024 season with a dud, falling to Sam Houston State at home. Is the sky falling or can this team right the ship? We discuss.

If you need some audio therapy, give this week’s podcast a listen. Carter and Matthew work through the disastrous showing Rice football put on display in its opener on Saturday night against Sam Houston. How much of the fault falls on a poor game plan? Could Sam Houston actually be good? Why wasn’t Rice prepared? We sort through it all this week.

By

Former Rice football offensive lineman Lavel Dumont joins The Roost Podcast this week to talk about his transition to coaching and help preview the Owls’ offense in 2024.

The Roost Podcast | Ep 180 – 2024 Rice Football Defensive Preview with Coleman Coco

By

Former Rice football defensive lineman Coleman Coco joins The Roost Podcast this week to talk about the end of his career and help preview the Owls’ defense in 2024.

Coleman Coco won’t be suiting up for Rice football this fall after the NCAA denied his petition for another year of eligibility, but he’s still around the program and doing all he can to help the Owls succeed. He was kind enough to stop by the podcast this week and talk about his experience at Rice and shed some light on what players will take up the torch and succeed on the field this year.
