Rice v UNLV
11/14/98
Homecoming x 8
version 98.2.2 - release date 11/13/98, 11:31pm
MOB: GO RICE!
FORMATION: Viking Helmet
ANNOUNCER: Ahhh, Homecoming. The time of year when we all stop and
reflect upon those people and events from our past which
have shaped the world we know. There are some things that
you might not want to reflect upon - but your roommate is
here too, and sure to remind you... So - in this time
of reflection, the MOB would like to pay tribute to those
special years which have touched our lives: years ending in
the number "eight".
ACTION: During the intro script, SA's enter field with a ship
reminiscent of the Columbus-era (but not reminiscent in
size of the Titanic).
ANNOUNCER: Perhaps the most famous "eight" year of all was the year
1498, when Columbus discovered America...
Huh? That's not right Who wrote this?
Hey! You! With the ship - back in the tunnel until I...
<pause> Eight... eight...
ACTION: Ship turns back toward endzone
ANNOUNCER: Uhh... aaaactually, it was in NNNNine ninety eight when
Leif Erickson discovered America... yeah! That's the
ticket! Okay - bring back the ship!
MUSIC: Tubthumping
ACTION: SA's spend the song transforming their Columbus ship into a
Viking ship; song ends, MOB scatters to...
FORMATION: NASA
ANNOUNCER: 1958: NASA is born, and the U.S. leaps into the space age.
Soon after, President Kennedy comes to Rice, announcing
plans to put a man on the moon before the end of the
decade.
1998: President Clinton announces plans to put a man on the
sun before the end of the millenium. <pause>
We think that man might be Ken Starr.
MUSIC: Walkin' On the Sun
ACTION: Ken Starr is hog-tied to a rocket which Bill Clinton
lights, sending Starr off to the sun; song ends, MOB
scatters to
FORMATION: RICE (script)
ANNOUNCER: In 1918, William Marsh Rice's legacy, the Rice Institute,
turns out its first PhD. In 1988, a group of students, who
were later threatened with being turned out, return the
favor by turning Willy's statue to face west. The
administration did not agree that "turnabout is fair play"
Their feat was not meant to dishonor our founder, but to
honor him, with a tangible and award-winning display of the
learning and ingenuity that his "institute for the
advancement of letters, science, and art" promotes...
Where there's a Will, there's a way.
MUSIC: Rice's Honor
ACTION: SA's enter field with a box on wheels. This week, it is
disguised as the base of Willy's statue. On top sits Willy.
Or if we can't get him, then someone dressed as Willy,
sitting as still as possible to hide the fact that it's an
actual person.
At end of song, MOBsters fall down one-by-one, domino
style, starting at the "R" and ending with the "e". When we
reach the end, the last person hits the gong.
After a couple of seconds, Willy stands up and strikes the
cowbell.
ANNOUNCER: The MOB - future captains of industry and leaders of the
free world, would like to thank each and every one of you
who sat on those splintery seats and watched our shows this
year. No need for applaud - just throw money - we need
lots of mula to go to Hawai'i next year. We'll take
checks, but we'd prefer small, unmarked bills...
MUSIC: Louie2
EXIT: probably a good idea...
NOTE: This not whole sentence.
