[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 428258, member: 4015"] I know it is ancient history and still hard to believe but there was a time when Rice was a power in the old Southwest Conference. We went to play them in 1962 a decided underdog as they were ranked (in those days that went only to the top 10) and beat them in typical Dodd fashion. It is noteworthy in that shortly thereafter, Rice simply could no longer recruit in Texas as they once did and the way down went a lot faster (as it often does in both football and life) than did the way up and a once proud football tradition became an afterthought. This COULD happen to us if we are not careful. The football landscape is littered with once storied programs that did not tend to their knitting (recruiting, infrastructure, etc.) and paid the price in becoming mediocre or in the case of Rice and Tulane homecoming fodder. It is possible to make a comeback with huge infusions of cash, smart coaching, revived recruiting (OK paying players is the quickest way) as seen with TCU, Oregon, and Virginia but it is difficult and costly.
