59 Points, 10 Words, One Rice Legend

from Against the Grain

After witnessing the highest scoring NFL Week 1 ever, the crew came back and analyzed what really went on in these matchups. How on Earth did the Bears score 59 points? How did the Texans' defense let up 36 points? Will Neil ever have a correct take again? All the questions will be answered in our Week 1 NFL Recap! Following the NFL theme, we split the crew into Neil & Andrew vs. Seth & Joshua for the game "Ten Words or Less," where they attempted to describe 5 players from across the league. In our first-ever edition of "Keep or Sell," the crew went through seven key NFL Fantasy players that underperformed this past week. There were definitely a few interesting takes and some areas of concern for players drafted in the first rounds of your draft. We concluded our episode with special guest and Rice Legend Gus Gannon! Holding several school records in indoor and outdoor long-distance events, he went behind the scenes on what it means to be a D1 athlete at Rice. He shares several of his best memories from his time at Rice and offers an outlook on the upcoming season! Tune in to listen to his story!
