How Many Big 12 Students Does it Take to Change a Light Bulb?
At MISSOURI, it takes two: one to change the bulb and one more to
explain how they did it every bit as good as the bulbs changed at BIG TEN schools.
At TEXAS TECH, it takes two: one to change the bulb and one to phone an
engineer at TEXAS A&M for instructions.
At COLORADO, it takes four: one to screw in the bulb and three to
figure out how to get stoned off the old one.
At OKLAHOMA, it takes five: one to change it, three to reminisce about
how Bud and Barry would have done it, and one to throw the old bulb at an
NCAA investigator.
At TEXAS A&M, it takes 12 (of course): one to change it, one to choreograph the homoerotic and utterly baffling chant/dance, one to stand as armed guard over the floor rug, 3 to do some weird pantomime/hand jive thing, one to sing about the experience, and five to march in place.
At OKLAHOMA STATE, it takes seven, and each one gets credit for five semester
hours.
At KANSAS, it takes eight: one to screw it in and seven to discuss
how much brighter it seems to shine during basketball season.
At TEXAS, it takes ten: two to figure out how to screw it in, two
to buy an orange lampshade, and six to phone a radio call-in show and
talk about how much they hate OKLAHOMA.
At IOWA STATE, it takes fifteen: one to screw in the bulb, two
to buy the Skoal, and twelve to explain that Ames, Iowa really doesn't suck as bad as you'd think.
At KANSAS STATE, it takes one hundred: one to change it, forty-nine to talk
about how they did it better than at OKLAHOMA, and fifty to get drunk and
pretend they have tradition when finished.

discuss how this finally will be the year that they have a decent
football team.
At NEBRASKA: None. There is no electricity in Nebraska.
