The Marching Owl Band

RICE VERSUS HOUSTON

HALFTIME

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In honor of the newest member of the Southwest Conference, The MOB would

like to salute the "other" university in town - known affectionately by

its intials as "UH" or "You Hoo"!

(BAND RUNS ONTO FIELD FROM SIDELINE FORMS BUCKET)

The MOB would like to congradulate the Bougars on their fine record this

season-its about time somebody's team got LUCKY! The winner of today's

game will receive the Bayour Bucket. We're not sure what comes in the

bucket-maybe enough (breast and thighs) drumsticks and coleslaw to feed

the winners. Speaking of chicken, the loser will play the Houston Oilers

to determine who will receive a map of La Grange autographed by Maaaaaarvin

Zindler!

(BAND PLAYS "FOOTBALL HERO". FORMS 3/4) OF DIAMOND)

The MOB took a trip to the Cougar campus to find out more about our sister

school. Unfortunately, we were unable to find a place to Park! So we took

a survey and found there were 2,500 more cars than students enrolled on

campus. We suspect that the U of H campus is where they store the cars

used to clog the Gulf Freeway in the afternoons! To salute this mess, the

MOB has formed and empty parking space.and plays "It's Impossible".

(BAND PLAYS "ITS IMPOSSIBLE" FORMS 2 OVALS)

We stumbled upon registration which seems to be a recreation of Napoleon's

Retreat from Russia. In a huge oval room, the masses file in endless circles,

the silence broken by cries for water and the screams of deranged

students who find themselves with 5 8:00 classes. Under the

watchfuleye of friendly,

efficicient, and helpful administrators, students and the computer play

a "friendly"version of the Match Game. Watch now as the MOB reenacts what

it saw.

(BAND MARCHES IN CIRCLES TO VOUGA BOAT SONG GOEA INTO DOME)

Today's game marks several historic first, one of which the MOB finds

quite remarkable. How often have YOU played and away game in your

own stadium?

The MOB has pondered this curious situation for at least thirty seconds

and we feel there are two answers: one-we want the parking receipts, two-

playing in Rice Stadium would enable The MOB to perform its show in a safe

and secure setting.without andy worry of outside inter----- "RIP" Silence

DEEP VOICE "The band will now play Dragnet"(wait 10 seconds) "Ladies and

Gentlemen, the Mob is finished, You enjoyed it, and you wil now clap.

GOOD DAY!!!

Gnote: the parking space that we formed was a diagonal - a big,

tilted and inverted "U" ___

/ / The alert driver of the UH

big-red-football-helmet-on-a-golfcart drove

right into the center of the formation and parked. They showed us up

on our own joke, but it got a good laugh from the crowd.

The final bit is in reference to Judge Hofheinz having our script

pulled during our '75 UH show in the Astrodome.
