holding the Rice band hostage

I hadn't heard that one. That's too funny.

My personal favorite is when they kidnapped Rice's mascot/owl effigy (warning: Purdue-Pete-level creepy) in 1917 and Rice had to mount a literal heist to retrieve it. The only good account of the story was on Reddit here, but it really is worth the read.

Here you go, The Halftime of Infamy.

The MOB is a scramble band, like Stanford's, and in Texas it engenders a lot of the same love-hate reactions. I will say I think the peculiar anti-Stanford-band bias on that other site probably has more to do with the high number of "proper" marching band alumni in the sub.
