It's some jailhouse action that they practice out on the prairie.

Apparently a gig is a pronged spear for hunting small game, such as frogs. The Ags were set to play the TCU Horned Frogs, and someone said "gig 'em," and it stuck for everyone.

It's a Texas "'em" thing.
Hook'em was taken, and so was Sic'em.
F'em looked to feminine.
Someone bulched, "Hey, that'll work".

Yep, hook em and sic em, which didn't start until almost 35 years later, were already taken.

It was versus tcu and a yell leader at yell practice (1930s) said "We are going to gig Em"(paraphrased) in reference to gigging a frog. Then, in the motion of gigging a frog he stuck his the up in the air

Because, unlike any good Southern boy, the Aggie brain trust at the time didn't understand that you don't use a frog gig on a lizard even if one variant on the lizard's name includes the word "frog".
