Eh...don't ask me why just pity me.
My Poke family is going nuts because Garth Brooks is going to be in the parade. I couldn't care less, but I guess I'll go.

My condolences.
I'll try to take pics of anything overly bizarre. I just hope it's not as tacky as I think it's going to be.
Also, I'm not sure my eyes can survive seeing that much glo-orange. :shudder:
Oh, it will be. Tacky, that is.
... that's not food.
Last year's parade.

Okay, this was the first time I've been to another school's homecoming. I hate to sit here and criticicize (actually I don't), but it was every bit as tacky as I thought. For one thing, I was actually surprised by how bad the floats were. At Baylor, the frats and sororities spend an entire year secretly building MASSIVE sized floats that look like something from the Rose Bowl parade. I thought this was pretty typical of most schools. I don't know what OU's is like but OSU looked like a high school homecoming parade compared to ours. It was actually kind of sad. Here are some pics with comments. They were taken from my phone from a slight distance so they kind of suck, but you'll get the idea.
Here are some Aggy loitering about prior to the parade:
This is some old dude in the parade pulling a trailer full of old *** bicycles that looked like they came from the city dump. I have no idea why this guy was in the parade or what he represented. Nonetheless, he got some pretty big cheers.
This is a cement truck. Yes, a cement truck...festooned with OSU paraphernalia.
This is just a typical "float." Again, very high schoolish.
One of the best entries in the parade was the Boy Scouts who marched with a huge assortment of traditional American flag from the Gadsden Flag to the 50-star flag. It was actually pretty cool.
Tandem bicyclists. I have no idea why.
This one really took the cake. It was one of the frats (not sure which) pushing orange painted lawn-mowers in some sort of synchronized dance routine. I kid you not.
Oh, I almost forgot the gas truck.

"Pulling for the Pokes."
There has to be a joke somewhere in there...

When all else fails, get a bigger hammer.
Oh. My. Lord.
... that's not food.
And yes that dude pushing the lawn mower was wearing jean shorts and boots.
How the hell can you compete with a parade like that? The Tournament of Roses Parade really needs to start including more cement and gas trucks.

Just imagine there's a really obnoxious graphical sig here
Oh, I almost forgot. I didn't get a pic, but they had that guy who sings that horrible new OSU song on the back of a trailer with a microphone and he sang it the ENTIRE parade route.
And none of the upstanding Aggies thought to bring some 'maters to pelt him with?
Guh.

holy crap.
"I'm a mother****ing party all by myself."
The orange lawn mowers stole the show!
Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.

Sometimes I think I drink alot, then I see, like, the Motley Crüe behind the music, and realize I'm a huge *****.
