U.S. Naval Academy vs. Rice

Rice Stadium – Houston, Texas

October 10, 2009

Shortest Halftime Ever

Boring Stuff

[Band enters the field, faces the home side.]

Formation:

M O O N

Field Action:

NASA presents a moon rock to Rice.
Rice inducts former players into the Rice Hall of Fame.

Announcer:

Ladies and gentlemen, we're almost out of time. The MOB now presents the world's shortest halftime.

Music:

Theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey (abridged)

Announcer:

[voice over music]
The MOB would like to take this opportunity to once again salute NASA. However, we do need to let everyone know that, to be perfectly honest, Rice does NOT play Texas because it is hard.

We do it for the money.

But We Just Started

Formation:

Band continues spelling "MOON", but now facing the visitor side.

Announcer:

The MOB would also like to salute our fine young seamen in the Navy. The Navy SEALs have been awesome lately. Fighting pirates! So the next time you see a sailor, thank him. And the next time you see a SEAL, give him a herring. Seals love fish.

Music:

Anchors Aweigh (abridged)

Field Action:

The two Os in "MOON" join together to form a butt.

Announcer:

And one final note:
In case you weren't paying attention during the last fifteen minutes, we have been mooning you. This whole time.

Music:

Louie, Louie

Field Action:

Band exits the field, "M" and "N" first.

Announcer:

Remember folks, it's not the length of your show. It's how you use it. If your halftime show lasts longer than four hours, please consult a physician.

Attention please, the previous halftime is under review.

Ed. note:
There had been an "official review" of nearly every touchdown in the first half.
