I was skimming through the CBS coverage (they had a couple of their own performances -- "For Good" from Wicked and something representing Spelling Bee -- and John Tartaglia was there with Rod). They did provide background on the float, making me think that the best parade might be one cobbled together from both stations. (CBS had none of the parade performances.)
The float was in honor of Oklahoma's 100th anniversary.

Well, I live in Oklahoma (only until I graduate, of course, then I'm out of here), but I like to think the float was built in honor of me. 
Seriously, we don't have much to look forward to in Oklahoma, so we apparently have to put a float in to commemorate our centennial two years before it actually happens (2007). But hey, I love me some Kristin Chenoweth, and she's from Oklahoma, so yay for that.

Posted: 11/24/05 at 12:52pmYeah Oklahoma! I just realized that OCU is older than the state. Our centennial was last year!

Posted: 11/24/05 at 1:19pmHaha, as much as I like to make fun of the state, it's not that bad, despite the fact that the general trend is hardcore conservative. When people from other states come here, which I mainly see during football games, they always say that the people are very nice and hospitable, so that makes me feel good! Granted, there is not a lot to do here that's just being offered, you have to get creative and make your own fun, which makes having crazy friends a very good thing. Someone coming from a big city like NYC going into Oklahoma might hate it, but it's home and always will be. ::end Oklahoma commercial::
