TAMU Commandant Twitter

Looks like both players were warned, I still think the people firing the cannon should’ve waited for them to move.

Like many things these days, not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things but people will pretend to be outraged because everybody likes drama.

Everything Aggie does is amplified to the N’th degree on this site. It’s unreasonable.

Not sure why I waste any time here.

This has already been debunked as some laughable justification from an Aggie fan on twitter.

Fair enough.

And it is cannon, not canon (second and subsequent tweets).

Imagine being such a shitty program with a shitty fanbase that you manage to make LSU into God's Team and the favorite of the Rant this week. It's impressive how awful they are

But nobody told Aggie the war at the Alamo was over , therefore someone had to be stationed at the cannon.

One of the players was quick to respond that they were not warned. Interesting…I’m sure there will be a comment from the SEC office tomorrow.

The only right they used was to make an idiotic decision.

So we should believe some random twitter post over the word of the Umass player?

Look at the video.

Notice their teammate praying at the goal line. Seems he understood the warning.

Notice their other teammate praying at the 10 yard line. Seems he understood the warning.

Now look at these two idiots going to the absolute back corner pylon, as close to the cannon as possible.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

It shouldn’t have happened.

That said, there isn’t an Ag in Kyle Field who doesn’t understand what happens re: the cannon firing. There are multiple signs/warnings surrounding the cannon. It’s anything but an arbitrary occurrence.

Of course, the UMass players weren’t familiar with the routine and—despite warnings—obviously didn’t anticipate/appreciate the sound and smoke produced by the cannon.

I don’t think the two players were trying to be problematic, nor do I think the (scheduled/formulaic) firing of the cannon by the Cav was intentionally directed at the players. The cannon sat precisely where it always sits and was not moved to strategically offend UMass.

Not unlike a worksite, safety precautions must be idiot-proof—even (particularly?) if the “idiot” in question is a visitor. Whether the cadets were right or wrong, it’s obvious additional stopgaps will be put into place.

Unfortunately, like most good things in life, one negative incident could very likely put an end to something that’s been a great part of a school’s celebratory zeitgeist for ages.

I’m sorry it happened and am grateful no one was injured.

Great! Then more fans will be disappointed at the outcome then.

And again, if someone warns you not to step in front of a moving train, but you do so regardless, then that’s on you for being stupid.

Y'all are still going with this weak arse line? Again, stopping a train before it hits someone is damn near impossible. Choosing to not fire a cannon in someone's face is just that......a choice. Well, apparently it isn't a choice because the insane aggy cult indoctrination makes it, apparently, punishable by death if you don't fire the cannon exactly three seconds after the weird milkmen finish acting like they're sucking dick or whatever.
