Nov. 14
THEME... ARTHURIAN REPRISE
FORMATION: 57
ACTION: The Rice Athletic Association presents The Geriatric Years - When Rice Was Great (At Sports)
ANNOUNCER: We are here today to honor blah blah blah Rachel blah blah blah etc. blah.
ACTION: Class of fifty-seven ushered off field
MOB: GO RICE
FORMATION: Sword in Stone
ANNOUNCER: Once upon a time, in Camelot, life was dull. The Knights of the Round Table had found the Holy Grail. They needed a another impossible quest. What could challenge them? This quest for a quest led them many places, including a Waco library, looking for Madonna's new book .
MUSIC: Roundabout
ACTION: SAs have a round table and some knights. They joust, they sword fight, they do line dances; song ends and MOB scatters to...
FORMATION: pair of feet
ANNOUNCER: Arthur sent some knights to find purity, but since they arrived after the EIGHT p.m. curfew , all they could find were unmarried bears and dancing females working on their M.R.S. degrees.
MUSIC: Twisting The Night Away
ACTION: Feet move on letters in song as SAs in pajamas dance with teddybears; song ends and MOB scatters to...
FORMATION: saxophone
ANNOUNCER: One knight, Sir Gallup of Polls, went to Whitehouse-on- Potomac to discover why a rural pig raiser could occupy this nation's throne. When asked how this could happen, the raiser's backers said that Clinton's success was due to his promising change -- pocket change -- and even if he didn't inhale, he did stop to smell the Flowers.
MUSIC: Tush
ACTION: Clinton-type gets smothered in flowers while other SAs hold musical notes for the saxophone
ANNOUNCER: Since the Knights of '57 used the rest of halftime, the MOB will finish with ITS impersonation of a modern knight with a quest of his own: (pause) George Rupp.
ACTION: MOB runs off field
MUSIC: Louie
EPILOGUE: Good crowd response for nearly everything. The Baylor crowd (vocally) liked the Madonna joke. The M.R.S. bit was a little predictable, and the response was weak. The Flowers joke got a good laugh, and the Rice students really liked the Rupp exit. This was the undergrad-written show, with some major mods after Saturday practice to punch it up...
Halftime score: Final score: (we WON)
Overall grade: B+.
