Students, faculty and staff gathered around the walkway between Cougar Village and the Moody Dining Hall on Wednesday during a pep rally to get the University riled up for the football game today against rival Rice University. The Cougars look to avenge last season’s 34-31 loss to the Owls. UH holds the all-time series lead 26-11. This will be the last Bayou Bucket played at Robertson Stadium, as it will move to Reliant Stadium in 2012. | Paul Crespo/The Daily Cougar
