"Whenever we disagree with something, especially at a sporting event, we have always expressed our
disapproval in a unique way — by hissing."

What is going on here?
Howdy, Ags!
What an awesome weekend we had in Kyle Field…it is great to be back home in Aggieland!
The 12th Man showed out in an unbelievable way at Midnight Yell Practice and our home opener as
we BTHO Kent State!
We made Kyle Field extra beautiful as we painted the stands in red, white and blue to show our love,
passion and respect for our great country and remembered the tragedies of Sept. 11, 2001, and we
honored all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defending our freedom.
I hope this weekend reminded everyone how lucky we are to be back in Aggieland, which we had so
greatly missed. It reminded us how special Texas A&M is because of the love, loyalty and respect
Aggies embody.
Texas A&M is a cut above the rest. As Aggies, we show and live out our core values of excellence,
integrity, leadership, loyalty, respect, and selfless service in all that we do. Sporting events are the
front porch of representing Texas A&M spirit and tradition, and our core values should be shown to
the millions of people watching worldwide.
As Aggies, we do not boo, we do not chant obscenities at the officials, others, or each other.
Whenever we disagree with something, especially at a sporting event, we have always expressed our
disapproval in a unique way — by hissing. This is a way to distinguish ourselves from every other
fanbase in the country, another tradition that has set us apart from all the others.
Let us be sure that the tradition of good sportsmanship and Aggie hospitality are alive and well
throughout this year. Let us strive to constantly embody our university’s core values and have our
opponents leave Kyle Field knowing that Aggieland is a special place, and that the 12th Man is a
world class fan base unlike any other.
Thank you for your constant love and support for Aggie Football and our student athletes and for
making Texas A&M the best university. It is an honor that is second to none to get to lead you, the
12th Man, the greatest fanbase in college sports. I look forward to seeing you in Colorado and yelling
with you at Yell Practice and on Saturday at Empower Field at Mile High when we beat the hell outta
Colorado!
Thanks, Gig ’em, and God bless Texas A&M!

I, and many other Aggies, think this letter is bullshite.
Don’t fricking care what the admin says, don’t care what the athletic department says, don’t care what any other pretentious / holier than thou “Old Army” Ags say, and I sure as frick don’t care what the yell leaders say.
frick the horse laugh - the students in the stands on gameday run the fricking show.
If they want to yell bullshite and frick JOE BIDEN, then I support them in doing that 100%.
Trying to police the behavior of others will only foster resentment and rebellion.

Yes, it's real. A lot of Aggies don't agree with it, though.

Of all things Aggy, IMO, this is the worst thing they do.
When I heard the hissing when a just graduated 22 year old school teacher was introduced, I wanted to ...

Funny thing is, that's the toned down version. Used to be "the ref is a horse's arse!" but I'm sure someone clutched their pearls about it at some point

Most of the weird stuff is a result of said pearl clutching followed by self-righteous Karen bitching.
Some people just love to frick everything up.

Is this where the phrase hissy fit started?

TBH, that's the worst yell of the lot. Needed to be retired about 40 years ago.
I gladly chanted "bullshite" -- because, well... Curles was doing Curles things.

He's getting rightfully destroyed in the replies, the majority of which are from former players.
The horse laugh used to end in "the ref is a horse's arse!" followed by a bronx cheer, not a hiss.
100,000+ fans in unison basically making fart noises would intimidate the frick out of people.

The "sky rocket" whistle and attempt at "Wrecking Crew" yell were worse, but they were killed quickly.
