You have grown men dressed like milkmen prancing around the sidelines doing stupid hand gestures. You have no room to talk.

I was wondering if the Aggies were still sawing off the horns?

I haven't posted my pics of LSU dudes with shakers in their pockets from Tuscaloosa in a while.

No more gay than all of the separate choreographed dances for every single play that occurs in 60 minutes of a college football game.

First downs =/= reasons for pelvic thrusts

I'll never understand the infatuation with the TOPIC of pom pom/shakers. I don't use one at the games, but I don't care if others do.

You havent been pom pomed until you go to a game at JHS and sit in that sea of cheerleaders in the lovely plains.

BTW the AU team has been called by different names and Plainsmen, War Eagles & Tigers are all part of their history. MSU used to be called Maroons years ago. Outside the SEC, Va Tech used to always be called VPI until late 1970s and were called the Gobblers....just a little bit of useless info.

I have to think OP was trolling but if not this is the correct answer!

Show me how you can stir drinks with a pom pom.

Our Corn dog sticks also serve as drink stirrers

interesting combination to stir bourbon with a corn dog. Sort of an organic reunion if you will.

Doesn't A&M wave towels? Shakers make more noise than a towel. You can't stir a drink with a towel either.

I just don't know any guys who are comfortable in their masculinity that judge male fans for shaking shakers. It reminds me of my friend's ex who was worried that certain positions weren't masculine, and he wouldn't do them. Naturally, all of us ended up thinking he was either secretly gay, which is fine, or else incredibly uptight.

Nothing! I was being snarky. It's just that some people think it's weird for the crowd to do it in unison at a football game. I don't think that. I think LSU fans are awesome for having all of their fun dances.

But then, I don't think shakers are gay.
