Western Michigan University vs. Rice

In the beginning... there was football.

It was divided into halves, and the Lord said, "Let there be marching bands!"

And they were good. As the years and the bands marched by, a void formed in the minds of the fans, for they were bored. And lo, in the year nineteen-seventy, there appeared a special group of performers to fill this void. Pledging to entertain the masses and rid halftime of evil commercial marketing, these crusaders ventured forward courageously. This group was called: The MOB.

And there was much rejoicing.

Ladies and gentlemen, please stand as The Institute presents Rice's Honor.

At this time, we would like to thank Western Michigan for making us aware of your existence. We are excited to play you today, even though some of our fans would prefer to face a more familiar foe.

This is an awkward compromise, but... Western Michigan, may we put a bag over your head and pretend you're Irish?

Thanks.

The Rice Marching Owl Band is directed by: Chuck Throckmorton. Drum majors are: Julia Scheevel from Wiess and Jamie Sammis from Brown. Our executive producer is Brian Leake from Will Rice, and I am your announcer: Kathy Beauregard.

Join us for half-time and we might reveal which two state felonies we violated in this pre-game presentation.
