re: One thing I have to say about Texas A&M Cheerleaders

quote:

---

My father was a yell leader. Elected by the student body. Also served as a pilot in the Air Force before retiring to be a civil engineer. You can not understand the tradition all you want, not care that A&M was an all male military college for 80 years thus cheerleaders never were a thing, even call it super gay. Believe me, he’s heard it all. The fan base thinks differently and it’s typically a more coveted elected position at A&M than student body President.

So laugh if you want, really doesn’t bother Aggie fans. We get the tradition and enjoy the atmosphere it provides.

Congrats on being born in spite of having a gay father.

They look like they're jacking off.

Aggies are the worst.

Hell, we put more in the stands at midnight for Yell than several SEC schools can put in the stands on Saturdays.


We are also better at that marching music thing than the rest of you "baws".

It's a big tradition for them; I think it's great.

The USC Trojans had all-male yell leaders from 1919 until they were disbanded in 2006. They were the only all-male stunt leaders in the nation.

The USC Song Girls were formed in 1967 and both squads performed side-by-side. After 2006 when the male-squad was disbanded, it became just the USC Song Girls dance squad and a cheerleader squad comprised of both girls and guys.

Good for Texas A&M...keep the tradition alive.

USC Male Yell Leaders


USC Song Girls (yes, they're much prettier to look at!)

I think it was the 2nd guy in the video who said it's based off some former guy named "Peanut".

A&M has great traditions...don't let some of your rivals get under the Aggie skin...it's jealousy and they have to choose "something" about A&M to make fun of. This is all they have.

Every SEC school has MALE CHEERLEADERS, too. However, Texas A&M's are called YELL LEADERS.

Go A&M!
