You seriously need to find a new routine. The old one is boring.

It's your tradition though
Don't get all pissy at us because the Big 12 accepted that shite. You in the Bible Belt conference now.

Looked at the article. Read a few of the pages on this thread.
Not understanding what's so funny? Guess this troll passed over my head.

It doesn't bother anyone but aggies, I don't think there's anything that weird/gay about them. Most school traditions are weird.
The only reason anyone brings it up is because most aggies get mad, fast. This is probably the easiest grind State fans will have all year.

Well that and the fact they seem to make a tradition out of everyday mundane stupid shite.
It seems...............manufactured.

I haven't seen any aggies the least bent out of shape in this thread. 
What a weird post.

Given that most of degree programs from the Mississippi schools are a joke, this should not be surprising.

lol... a cowbell shaker would know all about tradition. Please, tell us more about how our traditions(some of which are older than your school itself), are manufactured.
I'm genuinely curious.

Cool so yall tried to cheat. Instead of hiding from the world that aggy are terrible cheaters, lets remember forever that time that we broke the rules (yall so naughty) to remind bertha in section 12 how much she should care about the game.

Yells
Everyone yells. Aggy decided that yelling was too hard for the average student and keeping with the ritualistic destruction of fun embedded in aggy history yall had to set times so that the student body could practice these yells at nothing like complete maniacs.

Privileged words For much of its first 100 years, Texas A&M was a small, all-male, military academy. The school became coeducational in the 1960s, and membership in the Corps of Cadets became voluntary. In military tradition, privileges are meted out as one climbs the ranks, and Texas A&M has several such traditions. The most obvious are the uniforms worn by the Corps of Cadets. Corps members wear different uniforms for each year, culminating in the prized Senior boots.[66] Vocabulary is also restricted by class. Freshmen may not say the word Pisshead, a nickname for sophomores.[44] Juniors are known as "Serge Butts", so neither freshmen nor sophomores can say any form of either word. Juniors are also the first class to be allowed to say "Whoop!" Seniors, known as "Zips" for the black and gold braid on their garrison caps, which resembles a zipper, have reserved the word elephant and all forms of the words "death," "dying," "shoot," or "reload" in reference to the traditions surrounding Elephant Walk.[38] However, saying the phrases "pass away," "decease," "fire," "load again," etc., are all acceptable substitutes. Students caught "pulling out", or saying words that are reserved for other classes, are forced to "push."[38][111] Traditionally, this means the students must do a "class set" of pushups, one for each year of their class. The Class of 1945 did only 45 pushups and an extra pushup has been added for each subsequent year; the Fighting Texas Aggie Class of 2012 now does 112.[111] Pulling out privileges of the class directly above is considered "Good Bull", but pulling out two classes or more is "Bad Bull."[38] Members of the Corps of Cadets generally take privileged words more seriously than non-reg students.[78] See also

Slippery Slope I like you but you are trying to hard. We really really really don't give a shite about what anyone thinks of our traditions, and the sad part is you don't know the full story.
If you are going to do this, you have to go after the really embarrassing traditions. Problem is, the Rant covered those like two years ago and now we all accept the worst and internalize it ("nice jizz jar.")
If you really want to grind us, say something like "Jackie Sherrill and Emory Bellard were better at MSU" or something football related.
Our wagons are so circled around our traditions its not funny. Like literally not funny or fun.

Thanks for your thought out response. I can see why some think our traditions are "weird, cultish, silly, etc;" But I don't understand your claim of "manufactured." It's not as though we were sitting around thinking, "hey we need some tradition around here, let's find something to do." On the contrary, I believe you've pointed out why they mean so much to us, because they conserve what sets us apart.
I'm sure every school has had some guys/gals who for some serendipitous reason came up with something special to them, but along the way it was dropped for whatever reason; I find that sad. They succumbed to people telling them their tradition is weird/gay/whatever and appeased their peers instead of keeping what was meaningful to them.
I understand y'all have the cowbell tradition, but what else? Is there even a good story for it? Any Ag can tell you the origins of why we wear our ring and what it symbolizes, the story of EK Gill, the first Aggie Muster, Silver Taps, Gig 'em, etc.
In my travels, I've met Aggies all over the world and have great stories to tell strictly because of the rings we wear.
What stories do you have to tell? Assuming you went to State, what makes you love your University?

On the 12th man thing:
They essentially made a statue and named a student section after a dude who sucked at football and wasn't good enough to be on the team.
That's unique alright

yeah, brah... that's it. You totally nailed it. smh
Posted on 9/30/14 at 1:17 pm to OBReb6
It's like you read the history of the tradition directly from the plaque, adjacent to the statue.
Freaky.
Freaky.

They took that Rudy shite to a whole new level.
I feel like A&M students do a lot of LARPing.
