AGGIE BAND: Rice Drill 1989 - "Attack of the Owl"

[txwildchild]

Why is it that every time I watch a video of the Aggie band there's always some one from some other school bitching and moaning or trying really hard to make fun of A&M?

[callmezeus]

The Aggie band is really excellent. If North Korea ever needs another band to play for Kim Jung Il, I'll give 'em your number.

[DalonCole]

The other moral to the story is that aggy is only ruff and tuff and the real stuff when they can pick on someone because they have more people present.

Good bye aggy, the only thing that Texas, Baylor, SMU, Tech, and Rice, ALL agree on is that you are a jerk and we are glad you are leaving.

[DalonCole]

poor aggy

[BKWhitty93]

Oh yeah, and that whole thing you said about them resorting to "classless acts" because they're no good at football or band? That 1973 game with the infamous MOB performance? Yeah, Rice won 24-20.

[chauncy817]

When ur footbal team and bands suck u end up doing classless acts like the ricebowl band does. They will never be good in football or band. It is what it is

[americasnextopm0del]

@chauncy817 Seems like anything done against an Aggie is classless. MOB is known for making fun of everyone because they know they can't compete band or football wise, so they use their superior intelligence to get at others.

[iTrollJewTube]

@americasnextopm0del Yeah, because a mascot running on the field to mock a drum major signifies intelligence.

[DalonCole]

@chauncy817 What the heck does aggy know about being good in football? Texas has a better winning percentage on Kyle Field than aggy does.

[grungeworthy]

Do you have your '81 Rice show posted anywhere?

We've lost our copy...

About the whistle thing - a member of that FTAB was at my wife's high school reunion (they went to high school together) and he readily admitted that one rank of trombones just plain messed up, countermarching five yards too soon - it had nothing to do with whistles.

I've always enjoyed watching the FTAB perform - they are unique and very, very good at precision military-style marching.

[Oldag75]

The best thing in the world about Rice Stadium has always been watching the Aggie Band perform there. World Without End Amen.

[Neaptide184]

In 1973 the MOB thought that calling men and women who were training to defend the country Nazi's, a familiar, repetitive refrain from Rice's student body. While Rice's student body as a whole has found that amusing, most of the rest of the country has a much higher standard for humor. Must admit though, the Rice approach requires less training, less talent and less organizational skill. Sort of matches the personality of the institution. Good drill. BQ, class of 77.

[americasnextopm0del]

@Neaptide184 You sure? Most Aggie students wouldn't be accepted to Rice.

[turdnation11]

nothin like seenin this first hand

[mrbluto3]

Reminds me of when the Germans marched on Paris.

[warriorpoetbs]

Rice is only good at one thing at sports and at marching... Losing...

[BKWhitty93]

Doesn't matter if you get the MOB off the field. The reaction they got out of A&M in '73 was awesome. The MOB is forever the greatest troll band.

[chauncy817]

@BKWhitty93 when u have a garbage ass band u will have to use names such as the mob or owls or shit like that. never heard of anybody praising the Mass Of Bitches

[BKWhitty93]

@chauncy817 Ooooh, u mad brah? They're not supposed to be the best band ever musically. That's not their shtick. They perform comedic, satirical shows that poke fun at anyone they want. Call 'em a "garbage ass band." I think their mission is a success if they got your feathers ruffled.

[Tehwilburforce93]

Seriously? UT can put up with Rice's silly jokes year after year. The MOB even makes fun of themselves for cryin' out loud! Just take a joke instead of not allowing the MOB to perform or trapping them inside the stadium. This is coming from someone who could care less about either A&M or UT. Rice's band is truly something to be admired for what they bring to the world of college band. Humor. Being able to laugh at oneself is an ability as admirable as being able to march a great show. Loosen up.

[bostoncoog]

Rice > eATMe

[slwdsm]

@bostoncoog

keep dreaming you tard.

[wrx2surf]

somebody on bass rank messed up at 5:52

[cheermom83]

What are you talking about? The Aggie Band is the epitome of military marching. Where are you from?

[Htown75]

@cheermom83 Fake ass military....look like some fucking boy scouts...

[wrx2surf]

@Htown75 fake? when half of the band pursues a career in the military? get out of here

[kf8295]

When will the Aggie band start to play actual music and actual marching band routines?

[LookingAtYouFool]

"In 1973 the Texas A&M Aggies took exception to a MOB performance...After the game, the Aggies formed an angry mob outside Rice's own stadium, trapping the Owl band inside for hours until police dispersed some of the crowd and allowed the band to exit."

.

Most fans of college football in Texas can't wait for y'all to go to the SEC. We're tired of your whining, belligerent ways. You can't explain yourselves but from the outside looking in we understand you're a bunch of mindless dumbasses.

[slwdsm]

@LookingAtYouFool

did you really just go back to 1973? ... is that how long its been since the teams that cant stand us have been relevant?

[LookingAtYouFool]

@slwdsm

That was an incident involving Rice. I don't think they've ever been relevant. Their band is often irreverent though which grates on A&M fans because they take themselves too seriously. In 1981, a corpsman drew a sword on an SMU cheerleader. In 2005, another threw a shovel-full of horse feces on Longhorn band members. Speaking of relevance, that Longhorn team went on to win the national championship. A&M won their one national title in 1939. Their only Big 12 title in 1998.

@LookingAtYouFool

you should whine over the internet less... you are sounding really, really pathetic.

Aggies takes themselves to seriously ... so that means you should be disrespectful to them and then whine on the internet when they react? What a moron.

[LookingAtYouFool]

@slwdsm

I'm not whining, you are.

[slwdsm]

@LookingAtYouFool

You are trolling an Aggie ban video you tard... be less pathetic, no one cares about your garbage school or your whining.
