Scripts

Here, you’ll find a list of past halftime scripts for your reading enjoyment. Long as the list is, it’s still not long enough! Former MOBsters who are hoarding old scripts that aren’t included here, please contact the webmagister or bands@rice.edu. We’re missing lots of good scripts, including many of the old ones, most of the early 00’s, and all of the early 80’s. Help!

Special thanks go out to John “Grungy” Gladu, whose hard work and tireless dedication make such a page possible.
