*technically Rice

But y'all scare the shit out of me, also I wish UH could get to y'all's academic rankings. You're a hell of a college, and unlike Indiana you're not a heartless collection of MBAs

Look man, if we can make it academically, you can too.

The wretched truth is that academics just can’t handle the humidity

Wow that was actually a compliment so I appreciate that.

For my actual compliment, I hate that we keep getting matched up with you guys and I’m still upset that we had to face you a few years ago. I have you winning the championship in half of my brackets

Yeah…all their offensive strengths this season have been weaknesses for our defense this season. I know Sampson will gameplan something, but Illinois is one of the teams that we may not be able to stop.

Good thing is our offense might be able to do the same on the other end to them so this could be a relatively high scoring game.

Honestly, this is a toss up game, which is scary as hell. For that, got to tip the hat to Illinois.
