The Roost Podcast

It might be a slow time in the college football calendar, but the Roost Pod's back to keep you locked in on Rice football! Matt and Carter run through the Owls' handful of additions during the February Signing Day, then run through a position-by-position look at the roster as it stands right now. Which positions are we bullish on? Which are we nervous about? What are we looking forward to in the spring? Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe!

One last pod to put a bow on the 2022 season, because you can't talk college football anywhere (including here on the Roost Pod) without talking a little 'crootin! Matt and Carter are here to break down the class that Rice signed in late December, from high school prospects to junior college players to transfer portal travelers. How much does bringing in JT Daniels raise Rice's ceiling in the AAC in 2023? What positions of need were filled? Where might the Owls look to shore up this class in February or through further portal additions? Plus, the underrated but massive news that for maybe the first time ever, Rice was able to have a few high school signees enroll early. All that and more, and thanks for sticking with us this season!

The 2022 Rice Football season comes to an end, in much the same way it existed for most of the way: brief, glorious moments of excitement and optimism, surrounded by inconsistency and frustration. Matt and Carter are back for the season's final Roost Podcast, breaking down the Owls' 38-24 loss to old conference foe Southern Miss in the LendingTree Bowl. Were there are bright spots in a game that featured Rice giving up an all-time bowl record in rushing yards to Frank Gore Jr? Does this change our outlook on 2023 at all?  Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe!

It's official—Rice is headed to Mobile for the LendingTree Bowl! But before we dive into that, Matt and Carter are back on this week's Roost Pod for the 4th Annual (?!?!?!?!?!) Roosties! Forget traditional postseason superlatives here: we're not talking Team MVP—we're talking MVT (Most Valuable Transfer). And Favorite Plays! And Plays We Maybe Wish Hadn't Happened Like They Did! Those categories (well, along those lines) and more, all in this episode. Don't Forget to rate, review, and subscribe!

The Owls dropped a tough one in their regular season finale, playing competitively despite a depleted offense but unable to hang on at the end. It's a story we've heard too many times this year, and Matt and Carter are here to help you swallow the bitter pill of Rice's final C-USA conference game in this episode of the Roost Podcast. Where does the team go from here? Is bowl eligibility at certainty at 5-7 thanks to APR? How does that affect the calculus of whether to retain this coaching staff in the AAC in 2023? These are complicated, confusing questions . . . much like this Rice football season was. Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe!
