The Rice Band's Halftime Performance Mocked Baylor's Sexual Assault Scandal
…
THE MOB. How about the balls on these band geeks? Safe to say they’re Not Afraid To Go There.
Chron – The MOB, the Owls’ band known for its humorous halftime shows, dedicated Friday’s performance to poking fun at Baylor’s sexual assault scandal, which led to the firing of football coach Art Briles.
Then, they took it up a notch. On the screen, the announcer said “There are nine judges on the Supreme Court or is it?” The band proceeded to align in a formation to resemble the Roman numeral nine representing Title IX – poking fun at the multiple Title IX lawsuits Baylor is facing over the school’s handling of sexual assaults.
The band then aligned in a star formation meant to represent former Baylor president Ken Starr and his exit, all the while playing the song “Hit The Road, Jack.”
Briles was in the stands too – pure savagery from the Rice band. He says he left before halftime, but who knows, when’s the last time he told the truth.
And is it just me or is this more outrage from Baylor fans over a bunch of band geeks and their trumpet formations than there was about rape and assault?
PS,
Can’t forget this burn.
The MOB took a parting shot before finishing by lining up in an “N” formation. The announcer said “N stands for knowledge if you get educated in Wacky Waco.”
