Another iffy "rivalry" article. No significant evidence to establish a "rivalry" in the very sense of the term. These teams do have some history, but again, that alone isn't enough to warrant a "rivalry" Wikipedia page, per Wikipedia policy. Texas is a premier college football program, while Rice is merely the Vanderbilt of the state of Texas. Texas would not put Rice alongside Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Texas Tech or Baylor. Rice, if they were honest, probably wouldn't include Texas alongside Houston or SMU, although they may wish they could. Unless there is significant coverage and/or evidence that Rice and Texas are actually rivals in the real sense of the term and not just two teams with some history, I believe this article needs to be deleted.
