why do they have to practice yelling?

Cuz their Texas Mamas "tanned their butts" for yelling when they were growing up.

In Louisiana, yelling is just another form of communication and used as a sonic weapon by LSU faithful in Tiger Stadium. I've been to a couple games at Kyle Field. It gets about as loud as an NSU game at Rags Turpin stadium. The Aggies can use the yell practice.

To make things sportsman-like and even, LSU fans should be nice enough to allow the Aggies to have microphones during the game.

Why the hell would we want to show up at their Yell Practice?

1. I'd rather be at a bar... enjoying our LSU fans.

2. I'd rather not be around a large group of Aggies.

3. I'd rather not show up with the sole intention of pissing off a large number of Aggies. Kind of makes you look like a trouble-making biatch.

Yell practice is a good time for Aggies, but I wouldn't drive all the way over to Fort Worth to see it if I was a Tiger fan.

Now, in '94, when we played at Baton Rouge and all the Aggies spent Friday night in New Orleans (like tourists, I know) then that yell practice in the French Quarter was a hell of a good time. No way a Fort Worth yell practice is as good as that one.

As far as the whole Yell Leader / Gay thing goes, I think the effeminateness is a factor of the sororities voting "pretty boys" into the position (Yell leaders are elected by the student body).

When I was in school, Yell Leaders were Cprps guys on their way to becoming men, not "pretty boys."

I lived in the dorm next to 4 yell leaders: one roughnecked during the summer, one worked on a ranch, and two disappeared to Ft. Benning and elsewhere and came back with Jump Wings and a Ranger Tab. One of those guys ended up wearing a Green Beret for a living, so definitely no case of the "ghey" there ...

I guess I'm just an old fart
