Could we use more intimidating yells?

This is centered around the statement the yell leaders put out about booing and cursing. Link here I like the horse laugh and always enjoyed doing it (and that's a hill I'll die on). I think it's individual and rare and lets face it, a bit cultish. But intimidating it is not, I think very few of them are. Are the yell leaders right? Should we remain civil and "nice" or join in the SEC hate and collectively tell LSU to eat a bag of dicks?

Horse Laugh didn't used to end with "let's give em the horse laugh."

It used to end with "the ref is a horse's arse" followed by a Bronx cheer.

The most intimidating yell is always "Sit Down Bus Driver!" but it's entirely situational and best with basketball.

Is this because of the "frick Joe Biden" chant?

Tbqh, I never viewed the yells as being meant to intimidate. Other than "Bus Driver," they're rarely actually directed at the opposition. More about just loud, coordinated support for the Ags.

As far as "Horse Laugh," I think the hissing tradition is fun, but ultimately pretty hokey. Never understood how it's supposedly "classier" than booing. The intent is the same, it's just harder to hear/officials opponents don't really ever understand what's going on Also kinda weird some can yell "SOUNDS LIKE HELL!" but clutch pearls over booing/profanity.

I was wondering if I'd feel different about the environment when I brought kids to Kyle Field, but honestly I didn't. Maybe partly because Aggiebelle and I both cuss like sailors semi-regularly, but also because I simply expect some edgy stuff in a sports stadium environment. People of all ages are there--I think it's silly to expect the same behavior from geeked up college students letting loose at a high stakes football game as I'd expect when taking my kids to see something like PAW Patrol Live!

BTHO of whoever is one of my favorites. Loud, distinct, and short.

However nothing is more intimidating than just the sheer volume of noise after a great play. Nothing is more intimidating than the roar after the defense makes a play. That stuff is truly intimidating

Kyle field is not intimidating unless we have a big time defense. When we do it is deafening at times.
