Amazing hire..this year is going to be interesting

**Omaha Cy** · 01-03-2009, 09:05 PM

I had an evil plan to watch the Texas bowl on espn 360 replay to get a look at Rice, and then i remember the damn thing was on NFL Network.

Now the NFL network is even screwing over those of us who that dang channel!

Will he bring in an offense that will take a year or 2 to learn? Will be tough and interesting to see how well AA and Co can adapt over the off season into next season.

I think all of our talented offense of players will adapt very quick!

That is because nothing makes you happy and you are against everything regarding ISU. How about you go back to the EIU board where you belong.

I have no information with regard to the committed players, but according to Rice.Scout.com, there are at least three players that both Rice and ISU were recruiting for 2009.

3 star QB Kenneth Guiton
2 star OG Hunter Hogan
2 star QB Shane Ros

Go Cyclones

Oh, by the way, that Jamie Pollard is some kind of rascal, isn't he? Going for the Sunday paper announcement again! Way to go, Jamie.

hopefully we can get a little D.

Don't worry. Ditka is interested. He is getting tired of dressing up for the booth.

I asked a Rice fan about Herman on another college football board. Here is what he had to say:

Dude is a very hard worker and, no joke, is a member of Mensa. Worked under Brown at Texas and was under Randelman at Sam Houston for their two long playoff runs. Then with Bailiff at Texas State and Rice. He just directed a 10 win season at RICE. We have run the spread for the past 5 years. Our graduating QB and WR have combined for more TD passes/catches than any duo in CFB. If it can work at RICE with "our" athletes, it should work well in the Big XII. Think a combo of Texas and Mizzu with a little Tech sprinkled in.

I think he is a great OC and I am sad to see him go. No one will out work him, and he calls a very smart game. Not sure how recruiting will go since most have not heard of him.

Wish we still had him.
