But not as weird as being so triggered by it that you poison said trees.

Making Petrino call the Hogs on national television in a small room of about 40 people was awkward as shite. LINK


We did that to Dana Altman too. Way more awkward. He was back on the plane getting the hell out of Arkansas as soon as they had it gassed up.

As awkward as Bielema & his wife when he was hired ?

Illinois kid, played at Iowa.
He and his wife were doing the chant while thinking "they're paying us a lot of money, they're paying us a lot of money"

The cringiest tradition is LSU fans spending so much time trying to think of ways to insult A&M fans.


Don’t really have to think up ways to insult when you give them so much ammunition. You frickers are the weirdest of the weird.

Number of Tree Poisoners - 1
Number of TPers - Gonna guess 100k+ but that is probably an absurdly low estimate

You seem to be confused what constitutes a "tradition".

As bad as the Aggies Yell and milk man stuff I have to say the worst is Mississippi States cow bells.

All other SEC schools are banned from artificial noise makers so why do they get to use them?

Don't forget the tree arsonist a few years after the tree poisoner.

That was after Auburn beat LSU (the one that got Miles fired). A city with a lot of angry drunk LSU fans... I wonder who could have done it...

Surprisingly, I think he was actually a German national with no ties to any school.

I’m embarrassed that my family members were part of the crew that started it back in the 50s

Singing fight songs. It's really gay, cringe worthy and cultish.

Didn't a drunk Georgia fan light one of those trees up one time as well?

Interestingly enough, I never knew this was a thing with the Corp and yell leaders until a few years after I graduated and they showed those CTs on TV against Texas Tech. Tradition for very few, I would say.


I graduated from A&M twice, and never heard of the squeeze until I stumbled onto it on message boards years later.

I honestly think it was just that one group of dumbasses decided to do it once in front of a fricking camera, and now everyone thinks it's a thing.
