September 30, 2024 By Matthew Bartlett

Rice football fell to 1-4 on the season and heads to the bye week reeling after a crushing loss to Charlotte.

Four FBS games and four FBS losses. It’s been an abysmal start to the Rice football season which reaches a bye week in desperate need of a reset. What went wrong against Charlotte and can any of it be fixed? We discuss and commiserate.

The Roost Podcast | Ep 186 – Another sad recap: Rice Football loses to Army

September 23, 2024 By Matthew Bartlett

Rice football fell to 1-3 on the season, dropping their AAC opener at Army. Next week’s game at Charlotte is officially a must-win.

Rice football “got Army’d” on Saturday afternoon as the Black Knight ran all over the Owls who weren’t able to find any sort of rhythm on either side of the ball until it was too late. Carter and Matthew recap the debacle and share a few brief thoughts and updates on the latest in conference realignment which reared its head this week.

The Roost Podcast | Ep 185 – What went wrong for Rice Football vs Houston?

September 16, 2024 By Matthew Bartlett

Rice football followed up a big win with a crushing loss, barely getting on the scoreboard in a Bayou Bucket loss to Houston. What went wrong?

EJ Warner and the Rice Football offense were held in check, the special teams turned it over and the defense did its best to pick up the pieces. That’s not how the Owls’ hopeful defense of the Bayou Bucket was supposed to go. After rewatching the game, Matthew and Carter attempt to wade through the muck and determine what went wrong and discuss what is salvageable from this performance for the future.

The Roost Podcast | Ep 184 – Rice Football routs Texas Southern

September 10, 2024 By Matthew Bartlett

Rice football bounced back in a big way, taking down Texas Southern for their first win of the 2024 season. Let’s reminisce together.

Everyone is feeling much better after Rice football got back into the win column with a complete dismantling of Texas Southern in Week 2. How much can we take away from a win over an FCS opponent and what questions do we still need to be answered from this team as they prepare to defend the Bayou Bucket? We talked about it all on this week’s show.

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

September 3, 2024 By Matthew Bartlett

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.
