Those yell leaders do not scream "football" to anyone


They don't have to. They have 40,000+ students yelling back at them the yells that they are leading.

It is really not that hard to understand people. Put down the crack pipe, let your head clear and maybe it will make sense to you.

If not, come to a game in Kyle Field sometime. You can witness it for yourself. Love us or hate us, you will enjoy a game at Kyle Field. You will be well fed and a little drunk before the game even starts. The 10,000+ tailgaters will happily invite you to their tailgates.

I actually think it’s likely that a woman or women gets elected to be yell leaders sometime in the near future.
I would have no problem with it, but I think it is unlikely, given the bloc voting by the Corps.

I was at Kyle Field last weekend. All that milkmen stuff is really weird, but the fans were into it. Seemed all sang the school song together too. That's good for keeping the fans into the game.

Still don't know why they can't have female cheerleaders.

We parked at Lot B close to the stadium and didn't see any tailgates. They must be away from the stadium.

LOL. You know all that ghey stuff must be kind of embarrassing for somebody that’s never been indoctrinated to it.

Do you want to give up the cow bells?

I'm guessing no. It's tradition. And that's what makes it special.

Show me just ONE school where cute girls in miniskirts get 40,000 people yelling complex chants in unison 40-50 times per game. I don't think you can do it.

Yell Leaders accomplish that. Every game. And they have been doing it for 100 years.

You think that looking at the miniskirts is important. We think that the yelling for our team is more important.

You do you, and we will continue to Yell for our team.

I think most of the students would enjoy it too. Would not be surprised to see them take on a more active role in football games in the future.

Nobody ever mentions our Civil War cannon we have at home games

School spirit unmatched at any major university.

Cue: "But has it gotten your football team any hardware since WW2?"

No, it has not. Neither would miniskirts.

Oh ffs. Makes it a fun gameday experience? Separates us from NFL corporate sterile games? Links us to our past? Passes down traditions to our kids?

Lighten up. We have Yell leaders bc we didn’t use to have girls at A&M. The stadium tradition stuck, and we embrace it.

Actually a pre-WWI cannon. Manufactured in 1902, as I recall.

Why do you care? I don’t give LSU’s traditions a second thought. They’re for LSU students and fans, not for me.

quote:

The LSU pics are dumb

The ridiculous photos posted about my university far surpassed the level of absurdity long ago; we rarely (never?) respond. Yet you’re calling out “dumb” LSU pics in one post in one thread?

quote:

Now the better question is why those ATM chicks are not front and center on gameday?

Why? So you can stare at “hot arse,” as you described them? Those young ladies are at the games; it’s not our fault the media chooses to focus on other more unique aspects of our game day.

quote:

Until you just posted those pics, I would be willing to bet that every non ATM fan had no idea that they even existed.

Then to be frank, you’re ignorant.

quote:

This has helped promulgate that you all are bunch of homosexual cult.

Grow up. A tradition of five young men doesn’t equate to hundreds of thousands of students and former students being a “homosexual cult.”

quote:

Less promoting of yell leaders. More promotion of hot arse would go a long way to changing perception of your program.

I mean this in complete sincerity: We do not care what your perception is of our university. Many of you are concerned with what others think of you; we clearly differ in that regard. Our traditions are important to us, and we aren’t dropping 100+ years of meaning simply to make opposing fans happy.


To answer your question: No, the new head coach will not demand that the university get rid of the Yell Leaders.

Based upon his screen name, Buster is Class of '82.

We did not have EITHER a Dance Team OR a Cheer Squad in 1982. It isn't that surprising that an older Ag has not kept abreast (teehee) of all the specific changes in the last 40 years or of the differences between those two groups of ladies.

Literally everywhere:








I guess if your response is "yea but those aren't complex chants they're saying in unison" then, sure, I guess you're right about that.

But I highly doubt anybody is jealous or reveres those "complex chants" outside of college station. In fact, most people think that's another weird cultish thing of y'all's that is creepy and out of place in college sports
