I mean it's a balance of tradition and annoyance but largely depends on who you ask.

The corps of cadets is generally seen as an over glorified ROTC program, although we do understand it's A&M roots and most traditions stem from the all male military college days.

I had good friends in the corps and probably knew as much or more than most 'non-regs' about the happenings and everyday life of the corps.

I would say on-campus, the corps is mostly ignored. People cheer for the band at half time and some of the sayings used in the corps are on occasion carried over to non-reg vocabulary. Others straight up despise the corps presence and think they shouldn't get the attention they have during football games due to some embarrassing scenes over the years.

It's a mixed bag really but generally I would lean on the side of the corps mostly being ignored outside of the half time performance.

I find it funny/interesting by just explaining what I know about the history of A&M's traditions that I'm getting down-voted.

frick me for explaining and adding context to the content you're seeing, right?
