I do have one more question. I've seen a number of y'all's "two percenters" and others on TexAgs (who may have caught too much shite from their friends) complain that y'all's current yell leaders have now gotten way too cringe, feminine, and prancy

First, "cringe" is a verb. You and I are both too old to speak like uneducated punk kids. The word you seek is "cringeworthy."

Anyway, I don't think that the Yell Leaders have gotten "feminine," but the gestures HAVE demonstrably gotten more exagerated and (yes) cringeworthy. I saw a video maybe a year ago that showed Yell Leaders from different decades leading the same yells, and the differences were stark, with each successive generation getting worse.

I think that each year's new Yell Leaders learn from the previous year, and the signals have just gotten a TINY bit worse each year, such that you do not notice it from Year 47 to Year 48. But when you see Year 48 alongside Year 8, Year 18, Year 28 and Year 38, trust me when I say that Year 48 is embarassing.

The solution is NOT to get rid of the Yell Leaders. The solution is for the new Yell Leaders to look at old film.
