This may make me sound like a huge douchebag a-hole(which I am), but I imagine the types of people that go to a 4 day camp with no alcohol upon entrance to college are huge losers/pokemon go players. Like I said, I realize I am a douchebag a-hole, but I also speak the truth


If you need alcohol to have fun, I'd imagine you aren't a fun person to be around drunk or sober.

From a good source... old school thing from the days of all male campus "to focus" & "feel the intensity the team needs". Lost in the shuffle for the most part aside from the current corp. I guess there's a yell that pops up on occasion "squeeze 'em" but most don't know the back story.


Your source sucks.




I'll let each of you take on the debate, especially when it comes to things A&M & testicle squeezing. You can share your thoughts with a pre 70's Ag, but remember.. the old guys have knowledge & value.

Sorry, I go to sporting events of all kinds to watch the sport in question. I have friends that went to A&M and I have been to a few games in College Station. I was even persuaded to go to midnight yell practice one time to see what it was all about. I just never understood the need to do all of that extra stuff when a game is going on that should command your attention.

I've been to 95% of a&m home games going back to the mid 90s.

Never heard a "squeeze em" yell pop up "on occasion". In fact, I've never heard it at all.

No, it's just a current group of A&M students gazing into each others eyes with arms around each other as two gay porn models/A&M students squeeze their manhood.

But no, you are correct.. it's not a yell.

You can characterize it however you choose; no skin off my nose.
But you said, "I guess there's a yell that pops up on occasion "squeeze 'em" but most don't know the back story."

There is no "squeeze 'em" yell.
But carry on.

Did you mention gay porn? Because there's only one school in Texas famous for that

Do A&M folks secretly, away from rivals, kind of shake their head at it or is it a serious, deeply held tradition? Also, do all of you who are alums know all the cheers by heart? Is that a thing you learn as an undergrad and never forget or do you quit paying attention to it once you graduate and are out of the student section?



1. I love it. I wouldn't trade it for anything anybody else has. You bring a hot girl with you to watch the game to kiss when the team scores, you don't go to a football game to watch cheerleaders. You go to watch the game!

And Yell at the opposing fans/team. That's what Yell Leaders are for. What's the point in going to a football game if you're going to watch cheerleaders and be quiet? You might as well stay home or at the tailgate.

2. I know all the core yells by heart, every few years one group will bring back an old school one, but generally I've heard that one, too, and just need a little refreshing.


I've never heard "sky rocket" or "fifteen for team"... my personal faves are:

1. Spirit of Aggieland(the yell at the end)

2. Locomotive.
