Show Assistants: Action

To the Closet, Batman!

Back

2003 Season
It was a good year to be an SA! We managed to reorganize the entire Texas legislature when we visited the Capitol, and we honed our skills in mad science by bringing giant cans of shaving cream to life. It was also a time of internal change, though; we finally got some SAs into the NFL, although we had to sell our souls to the devil in order to do it! Some SAs seemed more interested in hockey, but with so little ice around Houston, they had to make do as Dairy Queen employees. We were also the most badass people at the MTV Rock n Jock Superbowl when the real Superbowl came to Houston, but we still manage to blend in with engineers when we need to. Despite our party-hard lifestyle, we're always on top of things!

Right: 2003 also brought change to Houston, when the Metro light rail system finally opened. Little did we know that one of the routes would tear right through our own Rice Stadium!

2002 Season
First things first: we celebrated Rice's ranking as Seventeen magazine's coolest school by drinking as much as possible as quickly as possible. But beer wasn't enough! Next the girls wanted their very own boy band, but the plan to have them permanently playing the Rice venue was thwarted by some quick- thinking NASA crew, who sent them on a trip off-planet in the newly rocket-powered Astrodome. With our beloved Astrodome gone, there was a time of great sadness, until we realized we could build a new prop--- bigger, better, and with a working cannon! Thus was a massive pirate ship, the likes of which had never before been seen, sailed during the freshman show! As the battle raged on, not even an army of squirrels could stop us!

Right: Alan, NSTM, Raymond, Adam, and Tall Mike prepare for MOBover by gathering in front of the SA Closet for photos. C'mon guys, the band is waiting!

2001 Season
Where else but in the MOB can you find Smurfs standing proudly alongside Roman emperors? For that matter, where else can you see chariot races? Never before had such an amazing group been so opinionated, but there's always time for change in the future!

Right: Don't worry, folks! Even with all of the downpours and standing water, 11-foot-long mosquitos are still an uncommon occurrence. That is, except for flydowns from the top of the stadium during halftime!
