The MOB
Kudos to the MOB, the Marching Owl Band from Rice University. They have a reputation for irreverence comparable to that of the Stanford Band. Their halftime show last week remembered the former Rice football coach Todd Graham who left the program after one year to become the head coach at Tulsa. At halftime of the game vs. Tulsa, the MOB show descended through the 9 circles of hell looking for Paul Graham. A sampling of the narration:
Very clever. And yes, I noted that you find Tulsa, Oklahoma in the 9th Circle of Hell. Why couldn't the LSJUMB come up with something like that for Tyrone?
"We thought we might find Todd Graham in the fourth circle with the greedy and the avaricious, but he was nowhere to be found. However, we did find his shredded Rice contract — leading like breadcrumbs into the inferno — and there, gathering the pieces, was Dennis Franchione."The entire show is available at Todd Graham's Inferno
