So we should believe some random twitter post over the word of the Umass player?
"Random Twitter post", you say? Ha....you ignorant pissant! That is a Tweet by THE Commandant! He's kind of a big deal. Show some respect.

No offense but we can only hope there are more to come. The fake cannon being shot by fake soldiers is the least weird “zeitgeist” at TA&M.

I dunno, I think we’re pretty grateful too.

The situation is obviously not ideal, but the pearl-clutching in this thread is ridiculous.

The Spirit of ‘02 isn’t a fake cannon.

It’s pointless for me to discuss the Corps of Cadets with you; I feel your vibe and will leave you to it.
I’m not exactly sure why you’re wanting more Texas A&M traditions to be squelched—though I get there’s a segment of society that’s all about such steps—I’d simply suggest you not think too much about ‘em.

I think this wouldn’t be nearly as big of a deal if fans said something like, “there’s a marked safety area and this is a timed gameday tradition, but somebody should have held off on the trigger. That’s a little messed up”

Those weren’t my exact words, but I—and multiple others—have said as much.
Let’s be honest: Few (none?) of you GAF about this, beyond using it as a means to talk shite.
I get that.

Really not that big of deal, but ags thinking it’s awesome and defending it is why ags are so contemptible.

But…but…but…I said no offense.

What’s to discuss? It’s a cult

If you’re referring to my post … I said with undue respect.

A bit, yeah. This is like Bama fans defending Burton. This wasn’t some criminal act, in all reality, neither was. The defense of “they were warned” doesn’t fly these days. The video is a bad look for aTm.

I like how you use bold letters and links to articles and words 99% of this site can’t spell or define.
I meant no disrespect regarding the Spirit of ‘02. I should have stated the pageantry of firing blanks, not fake cannon, as it is real. The soldier comment stands.
Regardless of the reasons why aTm does what aTm does, forgive me if my observations of the entirety of aTm traditions on any given fall weekend do not elicit from me reverence for great patriots like Patrick Henry or Patrick Tillman.

Now you’re just arguing for the sake of it.
No where did I make that comparison.
But you know that.

Let’s stick to the subject at hand … at least we know how to aim our cannon…

Makes sense. You can’t find a bigger bomb than Jimbo.
