Okay, so today I wanted to dig into something that’s been on my radar for a while: the Rice vs UAB football game on November 23rd. I’m not a huge sports fanatic, but I like to keep tabs on these things, and I figured this would be a good one to look into.
First things first, I needed to find some basic info about the game. Who is playing? When? What are the predictions? I started by just googling “Rice vs UAB football November 23”. Boom, got a bunch of results right away. Most of them were just previews, predictions, and betting odds.
I spent some time looking through the info. It looks like this game is part of the NCAA College Football season. I saw a few mentions of a player named Jalen Kitna who apparently threw for two touchdowns in some game. No clue if that’s related, but hey, it’s a name.
Then I tried to get a better feel for the teams themselves. I searched for things like “UAB vs Rice head-to-head record” and “Rice football championships”.
- Rice, as I found out, has won eight conference championships.
- UAB, according to what I dug up, has an all-time record of 173-191-2.
Just for kicks, I also looked up the record for another team, ULM, which is apparently 329-465-8. Not sure why I did that, but I did. It’s interesting information anyway.
After gathering all this, I started organizing my notes. I wanted to see if there were any clear patterns or interesting tidbits. The stuff about the point totals going over in some games caught my eye. Apparently, Rice’s games have gone over the point total three out of ten times this season, and UAB’s have gone over six out of nine times. I’m not sure what that means for this particular game, but it’s something.
My Thoughts
So, what did I actually accomplish here? Well, I got a decent overview of the upcoming Rice vs UAB game. I learned a bit about each team’s history, and I have a vague idea of what to expect in terms of scores. Did I become an expert? Not by a long shot. But I scratched that itch of curiosity, and that’s what matters.
Honestly, this whole process was more about the journey than the destination. I started with a simple question and ended up down a rabbit hole of football stats and team records. That’s what I like about these little research projects – you never know where they’ll take you. Next time, I might dive into something completely different. Who knows?
