Texas Governor Rick Perry is currently one of the best known A&M alumni, having graduated in 1972 with a 2.4 grade point average and a degree in animal sciences.

“This was not the brightest guy around,” a former classmate told the Huffington Post. “We always kind of laughed. He was always kind of a joke.”

Now Rice’s Marching Owl Band has taken a shot of their own at Perry’s intelligence, telling a stadium full of cheering spectators, “The next time you go to the polls, ask yourself, ‘Is your candidate smarter than an Aggie?’”

4. Perry has perfect qualifications to be the republican nominee

"This was not the brightest guy around" ... That's what they're looking for.

5. Texas Dumb!

As a native Texan, it's always gratifying to see something
like the MOB at work. We're not all red-neck, born-again,
anti-evolution, know-nothings. It just seems that way. Seems
that way to me, and I live here. But kudos to the MOB! You
guys rock.

[Enthusiast]

7. It's encouraging..........nt

6. Former MOB member. Most fun I ever had in a "marching" band.

Rice is a rare place in Texas where being smart is considered a virtue.

8. Their band did a show at Michigan once that was the talk of the town

I wasn't there, but some friends were and they just raved. They started out asking the crowd to stand for the State Song of Michigan. Michiganders being friendly, they all rose, and the MOB played "Oh Canada". On their website they stated, "crowd got it".
