Rice
Vs. Fresno State ANNOUNCER:
Do you remember your last history class?
Well forget it, it won't do you any good. The MOB
is here to tell you what really
happened - since the bookstore won't stock the new textbook until December. MOB:
GO RICE! FORMATION:
RIP
ANNOUNCER:
65 million years ago, dinosaurs ruled the earth.
But their reign came to an
abrupt
end when the MOB came along and introduced something called "humor".
The dinosaurs, like their close relatives, the Aggies, couldn't take a
joke. The riot that ensued set many
a precedent, and, as a result, today The MOB
exists and the dinosaurs don't. MUSIC:
Jurassic Park Theme ACTION:
Gzilching of Barneys, SAs dressed
as dinosaurs being pelted by MOBsters. SA Riotage ; song ends and MOB
scatters to... FORMATION:
Block "T" a la A&M ANNOUNCER:
A few million years later in Italy, the band left another scar across
history. MUSIC:
A&M Fight Song in a minor
key FORMATION:
dissolve to Flying Gamma ACTION:
Giant Tower of Pisa starts leaning,
SAs try desperately to keep MOBsters
from marching in step, use duct tape to try to keep the tower from falling over;
Song ends and MOB scatters to... FORMATION:
Zeppelin ANNOUNCER:
No one knows the real cause of the Hindenburg disaster - no one but the MOB.
Some of the MOBsters aboard
the famous zeppelin got bored, and wanting to talk like this [inhale
from balloon], replaced the helium lift gas with hydrogen.
Oh, the humanity! MUSIC:
Great Balls of Fire ACTION:
SAs fly down model Hindenburg from
upper stadium, dance with balloons,
inhaling contents; Song ends and MOB
scatters to... FORMATION:
Earth ANNOUNCER:
More recently, the MOB wreaked
havoc upon the Russian Space Program. `
We secretly replaced their vodka
with genuine, dark, rich Folger's coffee crystals to see if they would notice a difference.
Recent communications with Mir
Cosmonauts included the following exchange: [SNL David Lee Roth]
"WOW!" "WOW!"
"Boz moi!" Mir
- good til it last drops… MUSIC:
Rescue Me ACTION:
Box-On-Wheels Mir, stuff keeps
falling off, SAs duct tape it back on. Orbits
the earth, highly-caffeinated cosmonauts run along behind ANNOUNCER:
Of course, we don't dare show you all the ways the MOB has impacted today's world. Let's
just say we've had a hand in everything from the Big Bang
to socks lost in the drier. No one
but the MOB itself truly knows what we'll be up to next, but we'll give you
a hint... Hey, Fresno - remember Atlantis? MUSIC:
