Remember when the Aggie cadet held the Rice cheerleader at saberpoint? That caused quite a flap!

No, a senior charged at the SMU cheerleaders in 1982. In 1974 the corps surrounded the Rice MOB (Marching Owl Band) and they had to be evacuated by food service trucks. The previous summer of Reveille had died, and the MOB formed a fire hydrant during their half-time show and played "Where Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone".

That may have been the funniest moment in the history of the Rice band(and there were many).

You are right. My memory fails me. There was another incident when the MOB goosestepped down the field. That really enraged A & M. I've forgotten exacxtly what they did, but it caused a ruckus.

But it was an SMU cheerleader. As I remember, the saber wielder was suspended for the rest of the year. It made a great picture, however. I think it ran in every newspaper across the country.
