The Rice marching band is in midseason trolling form

I’m not quite sure why you did it, Rice. But I love you for it. Top-notch early season trolling.

During Thursday night’s halftime performance, the Rice marching band decided to make a statement. Perhaps it’s because they were taking on UCLA and getting some Pac-12 eyeballs, or, maybe it’s just because they were feeling frisky (like all of us)on opening night.

Either way, they took aim at USC and took to the following formation on the field. $$$

FANTASTIC INDEED. Now, time to sell some more tickets, eh?
