LOOK: Rice's marching band provides epic troll job of Texas' team GPA
Rice may have lost to Texas, 48-13, but its marching band made sure to troll the Longhorns before leaving NRG Stadium in Houston on Saturday.
Back in June, the Longhorns shared on Twitter that they had just achieved their highest semester GPA in team history, and it was a bit lower than some may have expected to earn that honor — 2.89. And while that announcement came a few months ago, the Owls’ band brought the number back to the forefront this past weekend.
During its halftime routine, Rice’s marching band created a “2.89” formation, as seen here courtesy of The Roost on Twitter:

So, while Rice’s football team may have fallen to 0-3 to start the season, at least its marching band gave fans a top-notch troll job.
That is brutal but hilarious. I know there are some schools here in the SEC who could definitely be embarrassed in that way. Only Vanderbilt, Florida, and TexasA&M are in the AAU. The rest of the schools are barely eligible to be calling themselves schools in the first place.
UGA is the #16 public university in the country by US News & World Report and the #23 public university by Forbes Magazine. Its entering freshman average a 3.9 GPA and a 1281 SAT.
But go on.
Being in the AAU has nothing to do with the football team. They aren’t held to the same standards by any means.
Gromit you are a clueless idiot.
They don’t call the Marching Owl Band the M.O.B. for no reason.
I just checked the 2019 Forbes list if best colleges. I filtered it for public universities only.
As info Vandy was 27 overall
Below were ranked in top 100 public univ.
Florida 70 overall/ 17th public
Georgia 99 overall/ 25th public
Texas AM 103 overall/ 26th public
Auburn 166 overall/ 46th public
S Carolina 201 overall/ 69th public
LSU 212/ 73
Missouri 219 /76
Tennessee 224/ 80
Alabama 252/ 91
Arkansas 271/ 98
If youre interested, the rest of the sec
Kentucky 308 / 112
Ole Miss 401/ 141
Miss St 432 / 155
The 5 service academies are public and all are rated ahead of Fla. So if you consider only the public universities that dont require Congressional support for admittance, you can subtract 5 from the public rank numbers above.
Ahh. A quality t-sip troll. Love it.
I had to google t sip . Love it. 70 year old grudge still strong
