Rice Game vs, UNT on Halloween - National TV!

[CaliMeanGreen]

According to a few players on social media the Rice game was moved to Halloween night on National TV.

That would be great if on National TV! Think of the costumes folks could wear to the game. Little ones are often allowed to "stay up late" on Halloween anyway, so bring 'em to Apogee for the game....could even "trick or Treat" with the little folks early...it is dark at about 5PM that time of year, and then head over to Apogee...a win-win perhaps. Let's see if this becomes official...could be interesting.

Think of the great halftime show that could be developed as well.

How about we set up "trick or treat" tables at Apogee before the game...safe and fun way to grab some sugar!!!!

These are all brilliant ideas KRAM! I'm hoping this is true.

Imagine what the MOB (if they traveled up here) would do for a half-time show? Something like the "Thriller" video?

Maybe the Green Brigade could all dress up like Zombies for the night. Since they wander out on the field prior to lining up for their pre-game show anyway, dressing up like Zombies would make it look much more natural.

Good ideas!

The dancers could dress up like Elvira.

[Green P1]

Sexy nurse cheerleaders for the win!

And this would likely go over EVERY SINGLE STUDENT's head because Elvira is not relevant at all anymore. You'd stand a better chance of recognition with the Bride of Frankenstein or something.

Yes, sexy vampiress in a very low cut outfit should still go over regardless of if they know whoo Elvira is.

Wow great news!! Can't wait!

Here's some RICE MOB scripts --- pretty funny stuff. Wonder if they come what they will do in Denton?

The AD needs to start working on ideas to get the students out for this. The alumni side, like the ULL midweek game last year, will take a hit.

Funniest MOB show I ever heard about was one called "The ANNUAL salute to the new football coach." The coach at the time wasn't amused. Of couse, Revelie peeing on a firehydrant didn't amuse some of the Aggies either. (Actually a some of them thought it was the funniest thing they'd ever seen. They aren't all insane about how they handle traditions.)

Here's an excerpt from the script to their UNT show in 2008:

Announcer:

Of course, we'd like to recognize the wonderful folks from U-N-T. Did you know that they have the largest school of music in the country? They provide thousands of graduates whose talent and creativity allows them to truly serve our community.

So, the next time you meet a North Texas grad, please remember to tip your waiter.

A Halloween game promotes itself.

Zombie apocalypse at Apogee. It would make for some great TV.

The students will be at their Halloween parties instead of the game.

You know who won't be invited to any Halloween parties?

Prediction:

If we're 5-3 at that point (3-0 at home) the crowd will be bigger than if we're 3-5 (1-2 at home)

Despite trick or treating parents or students going to Cougar King's awesome Harry Potter Halloween extravaganza....

I'm all for hating on Cougar King but you leave Harry Potter out of this.

Who goes to Halloween parties at 7:30? The game ends just in time for people to partake in the Halloween festivities. Though I predict a drop off in attendance after halftime

Post-game Halloween event? Fried rice promotion?

Yup, just like the ULL game last year. And there weren't even Halloween parties to go to that night. Poor saps missed an amazing ending.

Am I the only one that thinks this is a bad idea...

Im not a parent, but how would you tell your kid that youre going to watch a football game instead of trick or treating...

I think the attendance will be like a thanksgiving weekend game

That's the beauty of KRAM's idea... you include trick-or-treating in the pre-game festivities Maybe have some student groups/alumni association/etc... at booths around the Apogee concourse 3-4 hours before the game. Register the kids when they come in, and have a halftime contest for best dressed kiddo for a $100 pro shop certificate. Something like that. The possibilities are endless.
