Rice Vs. San Jose St.
October 16, 1999
Rice Stadium
MOB: GO RICE!
FORMATION: EH?
ANNOUNCER: San Jose State! (yawn) I'm sorry, that's all we've got? San
Jose where? Do you know the waay too easy. It says San
Jose C-A. C.A. C.A? The west coast? No! The north
coast - now there's a place that's just begging for a MOB
hit - Canada!
MUSIC: Rocky & Bullwinkle Tag [:22]
ACTION: Moose wanders onto field. Tag ends and MOB scatters to...
FORMATION: Mountain Tops (with snow)
ANNOUNCER: O, Canada, our perky little neighbor to the North. They
have forests ... and fish... and igloos ... and penguins.
But they don't have cops! Instead, they have Mounties, who
ride horses, wear funny hats and chase moose-es.
MUSIC: William Tell Overture [2:05]
ACTION: Canadian Mounties chase moose. Song ends and MOB scatters
to...
FORMATION: Hockey Rink
ANNOUNCER: Long ago, a bunch of Canadians were sitting around on a
bunch of ice, looking for something to do. With no one
else to pick on, they decided to beat on each other.
Hockey was invented. Leave it to Canadians to combine
the Ice Capades and boxing. Of course, the Canadians
would probably have kept hockey a secret, had they known
that the best hockey teams would some day come from Texas.
MUSIC: Far From Over [1:17]
ACTION: Boxing meets the ice capades. Zamboni cleans the ice.
Song ends and MOB scatters to...
FORMATION: Pizza Slice
ANNOUNCER: Of course, Canada has done some bad things. Who could
forget the Canadian missile crisis? Or the never-ending
battle with the Canadian drug cartel? Well, maybe those
are things we can forgive, but Canada, <yelling> KEEP YOUR
STINKING BACON OFF OF OUR PIZZA!
MUSIC: Come On Eileen [1:32]
ACTION: SA's gzilch bacon at a giant pizza. Song ends and MOB
scatters to...
FORMATION: Shield [like pregame]
ANNOUNCER: Maybe we've been a bit too harsh on Canada. After all,
where else would we get all of our ice? Besides, Canada is
the only thing keeping Alaska from becoming contiguous. To
end our show, and as a sign that this is all in fun, we
ask: Ladies and gentlemen, will you please rise for the
playing of the Canadian National Anthem.
ACTION: SA's unveil small Canadian flag in center of shield.
MOB: "Cinq, six, sept, huit..."
MUSIC: Louie
EXIT.
