The SEC will not stand for this ridiculousness.

Imagine if Texas A&M is in the national championship game.

Embarrassing

All TAMU fans I've run across are pretty normal. I'm surprised most of them sit back and watch these guys do this stuff.

I'll tell you what I've posted before and tell those who aren't familiar with A&M. The 48,000 normal kids that attend A&M roll their eyes at the corps. It's a shame that an organization of 2K speaks so loudly. Look, before some corps Aggie comes on her and chides me, I'll say they produce some solid military officers... the good stops right there.

When you think of the quirky, retarded, embarrassing A&M stuff it all ties back into the corps: yell leaders, homoerotic hazing, outdated traditions, nut squeezing.

When you visit, you'll certainly see what I mean. There's 2 worlds at A&M. The college scene with regular students that includes Northgate, Sporting Events, Tailgating, Greek Life, etc. and the Corps Scene which is confined to the Quad and includes homoerotic rituals that I don't want to begin to understand.

I am convinced some Ross Volunteers ran a train on Ball Gravy's girlfriend at A&M.

Male cheerleaders with crew-cuts, soldiers walking around the field with Lassie on a leash- should fit in real well wth the culture that is the SEC West.

Understand. I just would think most students would get tired of those assbags making the entire body look stupid.

Those kids are too young to realize that old bitter Aggies that had to go through being fish when they attended A&M will not offer them jobs when they grow up if they don't do it too.

Give them a few years of living a repressed, sheltered life away from normal people under the leadership of guys like Rick Perry. Under the tutelage of the former fish, they will learn their opportunities will be limited. Hell, they won't even let them be cheerleaders.

Even Hitler had minimum age requirements.

Out of the 330K living alumni, I'd say only 10% were in the corps, if that. Your statement was probably true in 1980, but not today, not even close.

It looks like tradition to me.

I don't think any of those guys gives a flying frick what anyone on this board thinks.

Texas A&M Yell Leaders are a big part of what makes the Kyle Field Game Atmosphere what it is, which was ranked #1 by Sports Illustrated in 2011. The Aggie Yell Leaders are a student elected position, not cheerleaders in the idea of what cheerleaders are at other schools. They don't do gymnastics or anything. Every one of your Universities has male cheerleaders, actual male cheerleaders.

Yell Leaders are not specific to the Corps, but it is traditionally Corps guys who are elected, but non-Corps members have been elected nearly every year here recently.

I don't see any reason to insult the founding organization of Texas A&M University, and when you've got 30,000 students doing various yells in unison with the Yell Leaders, just five guys, it's pretty cool and I enjoyed being a part of the 12th Man as a student, there is no better student section in the country.

Yeah, the Corps has a decent amount of hazing in it, and when some of it gets caught on camera it makes for nice message board fun, but the Corps does more good than harm. I knew a lot of good men and women in the Corps, many of whom moved on to military service.

Point is, A&M has many great traditions that makes the Gameday atmosphere, like the Yell Leaders and Aggie Band, and many great traditions that make the University, like Silver Taps and Muster.

Also, to those Aggies in this thread who are "apologizing" about the Yell Leaders, it's the ****ing Kids Yell Practice, there's nothing to apologize for, quit being such push overs about this stuff.
