Explain the Pom Poms at SEC games

I love the SEC but never have quite understood the pom poms. They do not make noise! Do not get it.
I have travelled to Ole Miss, Auburn and headed to Alabama. I have seen grown men walking around campus with pom poms tucked in the back of their hat, in their belt, in their boots etc. I have been to many LSU games and do not recall pom poms there.
While I am at it, I do not think I have seen baton twirlers in any other conference either. Auburn must have had 25 baton twirlers and someone told me they are all on scholarship. Baton twirling scholarships?
Trying to learn and fit in but drawing the line at pom poms.

Youre still allowed to make noise with one. As much as you don't understand them I don't understand folks who point out the obvious that they don't make noise. Should we all get cow bells?

pom pom's at lsu maybe passed out 4 times in last 10 years. Auburn is pom pom nation. some like it, some don't. don't feel like you HAVE to fit in, do what you want.

Use them for mixing drinks and don't worry about it.

Whats the deal with your 'yell leaders" wearing ice cream pedal cart clothes?

I made a similar comment to my wife about MSU, something to the effect of "what kind of pussies need cowbells to make noise?"
Her immediate reply was "Kinda reminds me of the A&M towels".
So I shut up.

I wish the SEC would have gone after the steers of Texas....

Michigan has them too. It's an old school thing.
There is really nothing more stifling than a man who is scared to shake a shaker for fear of looking gay. It's the equivalent of a man who thinks it's gay to have sex doggie style.

Why do the Aggy fans have a bunch of homosexual men tell them when to yell?

You have grown men dressed like milkmen prancing around the sidelines doing stupid hand gestures. You have no room to talk.

I was wondering if the Aggies were still sawing off the horns?

Shakers? This really concerns you?

Doesn't A&M wave towels? Shakers make more noise than a towel. You can't stir a drink with a towel either.

Drink stirrers

We prefer the term man poms.
