Rice University is pulling out all the stops this weekend as it hosts North Texas in what could be a pivotal moment for the team's bowl eligibility. With Rice's students already planning to head home after Thanksgiving, the school has come up with a creative plan to get its fans back into the stadium.
The promotion includes free beer for those 21 and above who bring their valid student ID, while the first 500 students will receive T-shirts. But don't expect the beers to be flowing like rivers – there are strict rules in place to prevent over-serving. It's one beer per student per trip to the stand, so servers and campus police will be keeping a close eye on things.
Despite the precautions, it's clear that Rice wants its students to stick around for this game. With bowl eligibility on the line, the stakes are high, but so is the incentive: get your friends back to the stadium and you might just see some historic moments unfold.
The Owls will face off against North Texas at Rice Stadium, a team ranked No. 22 in the country. The atmosphere promises to be electric, with free beer and T-shirts adding an extra layer of excitement to what could be a game-changing moment for Rice.

I'm so stoked that Rice University is getting creative to get its students back into the stadium! Who doesn't love free beer 
? But seriously, I gotta appreciate the school's effort to make this game feel special. The T-shirt thing is a great touch too - it's like they're giving their fans a little something to remember the moment by.
. I get it, safety first and all that, but come on! It feels kinda like they're treating their own students more like responsible adults than college kids. Still, I trust Rice to make the right call. If there's one thing I know about Rice, it's that they always bring the heat 
. Bring on the Owls vs North Texas, this is gonna be EPIC!
Still, it's awesome that Rice is putting in so much effort to make this game special for its students. Can't wait to see what happens! 
I'm not surprised they're pulling out all the stops to get their students to come out. With Thanksgiving being a major holiday, it's already tough to keep everyone engaged on campus. But bowl eligibility is HUGE for these kids and the school - it could mean so much more than just a fun game 
! As a parent of a Rice student, I know how hard they work to get to this point, and I'm rooting hard for them to make it happen 
. The free beer and T-shirts are just the icing on the cake 
. Fingers crossed that their fans come out in full force to support them! 
. But seriously, it's great that Rice University is trying to encourage its students to come back and support their team. Bowl eligibility is a big deal, and I can see why they'd want to make this game special for them. The rules about beer limits are probably necessary to keep everyone safe, though – you don't want anyone getting too rowdy or over-serving the young folks 
. Still, it's awesome that Rice is thinking outside the box (or in this case, the stadium!) to get its students excited and engaged. Fingers crossed for the Owls! 
I cant even blieve this! Rice Uni is doin everythin it can 2 get its students 2 come 2 the game 4 bowl eligibilty!! Free beer and t-shirts 4 those who bring their student ID? Yes pls!!! 
North Texas is lookin good tho, ranked #22 and all... should b an epic game! Fingers crossed Rice pulls it off!! 
i mean its cool and all that free beer and tshirts but wat if ppl get caught up in the moment? shouldnt just give them a free pass lol... also, isnt this like 2 days after thanksgiving? shouldn't some of those students be like "nah, im good" already? still gonna be hyped tho, thats for sure 
. They're trying to get those students drunk so they can't leave? Like, what's the real motive behind giving away free beer to underage students with valid IDs? Are they trying to cover up some shady deal? And 500 T-shirts for the first 500 students? That sounds like a recruitment plan to me 
. Mark my words, something's cooking at Rice University...
️
. still super stoked for the game tho! rice vs north texas is gonna be EPIC 
So they're trying to get their students back to the stadium by offering free beer? That's cute, but I'm not sure it's enough to convince everyone. I mean, some people might just show up because they're obligated to go home for Thanksgiving anyway 
Still, it's better than nothing, I guess. Bowl eligibility is definitely at stake here. Whoever wins this game could be headed to a big bowl. The Owls are gonna need all the luck they can get against that ranked No. 22 team 
. The Owls got this! 
still, it's rice uni against no 22 ranked north texas tho! this could be a game-changer for the owls and i'm all about supportin my underdog uni squad 
let's go rice!!!
