Those are UT Longhorns games (college).
The Rice-UT opening game is being played at Reliant Stadium which has a capacity of 71,500. Last I checked, there were only about 5,000-10,000 tickets remaining. That means at least 60,000 people are showing up to the college game. Reliant is also where the Houston Texans play. That just goes to show that college football is pretty much as popular as the NFL (although it is probably more popular).

Mark, the spread probably moved because we lost Scott Solomon, our best defensive player. It's a shame because the only way we're going to stop UT from blowing us out is defense, given that they lost a chunk of their offense to the NFL.
