Blindly following and supporting mediocrity should not be an Aggie tradition in either academics or athletics. Just because my buddy jumped off a cliff doesn't mean I have to follow him just because he was a "good Ag". My education at A&M taught me to think critically for myself. If this makes me a 2%-er, I'll gladly accept the moniker.

Why not these



+1

Definitely time for us to come out of the dark ages. Sorry to say that the tradition of male Yell Leaders only has outlived its time. Adding female cheerleaders to what we already have would be tremendous.

The YL youtube video was TOTALLY embarrassing and the sponsor / leader (Rusty T. - who is also seen in the d*mn thing - in the back seat of the vehicle) should be dismissed immediately....ugh

A LOT of things would change if you get female yell leaders. A lot of PC stuff that won't be avoidable. Like when the yell leaders are chased around after a win. Those pimply tennage fish are going to be groping at every bit of her body. You just can't have that.

I'm class of '72 and it would please me to no end to have female yell leaders. It would add so much to the atmosphere of Kyle Field and anything that looks like the USC cheerleaders is a welcome sight. Go for it.

I was in the Corps and I like girls. Yes to cheerleaders.

+1 for the ladies!

def need a change..+1 on the girls also!!

I actually think that the cheerleaders uniforms should include some type of hat that would never be removed during cheers.

Nice lips.

Holler house--

Rusty Thompson has been relieved of his Yell Leader advisor position. Happened either yesterday or today.

Why not keep the yell leaders, and add the Aggie dancing girls?

Really? That seems a bit much.

really????not doubting your word but do you have a link or anything

if that is the case...wow...i really didnt see that happening...yeah the video is a bit embarrasing but IMO not to the extent for someone to lose a position over

How are we like other universities? Aren't we the only school in the country that is having a debate about whether or not we should elect females to lead fans in yells? The fact that the "keep male yell leaders only" faction is winning says we are quite unique.

HCraider, I actually know those girls...

So is there actually a rule that a female cannot be a yell leader? If so, I'm surprised no female has ever filed a Title VII discrimination suit--I think they would probably win.

Them telling you to get lost or they will call the cops every weekend on NG doesn't count as "knowing" them.

thank you Jim for the update, I had not heard the news. Rusty is a nice enough guy but this was NOT his first mis-step. sad but appropriate accountability in my opinion.

That one girl has a smile like JAWS from James Bond...looks like she could chew through cable

"I am part of the solution"

Some of you forget how our Yell Leaders are selected--

We vote on them.

In almost all other places you have to have some gymnastics or dancing ability, you have tryouts, then some faculty member or advisor picks.

I think it's better for them to be elected. Any time a woman wishes to run for Yell Leader, I would wish her well. It would take a lot of courage to do that at Texas A&M. I am a former Yell Leader and I would have no problem with a woman being elected. I would support whoever was elected.

So would we get real pretty yell leaders or the bull dyke type that can really bark out the yells? I have a feeling whoever chooses will choose wrong.

All this support from texags, where every Erin Andrews thread has a bunch of idjits chiming in to say what a dog she is!No female yell leader would be good looking enough for the crowd on this forum. I'd predict a thread, with photos, within the first week, saying, "Why didn't we get this girl for a yell leader?" Much like the endless i wanna new coach threads. Just back slowly away from your computer....you can do it....good.

Yes to a Song girl outfit.

Once there is one hot women yell leader wearing this...say goodbye to male yell leaders FOORR-EEE-VVERRRRR

Class of '69 and in the Corps and I have always preferred female cheerleaders and to hell with the icecream man uniforms. Get those women out there before I kick the bucket. Come to think of it there has been no risk of that happening at Kyle since frannie showed up so this would at least add a little risk factor for me. I'm too old to skydive anymore so bring on the ladies.

We cant do those Redskins Cheerleaders outfits unless we get the corresponding "Female enhancements" to go with them.

Having looked at the Tech hotties thread this week, it looks like enough girls at Tech have store bought female enhancements to fill out those uniforms .. are there a lot of Ag girls with fakies?

so long as we keep the tradition of throwin em in fish pond after a win. how's that for a recruiting tool

I've seen 'em lose, I've seen 'em win, but I've never seen 'em quit

Thoughts...?







No seriously +2

Step 1:
Bring out the basketball dance team, have them work with the YL to coordinate cheers, and then do routines in between cheers. 5 Yell Leaders, 15 dance team members = 1 YL leading, 3 DT mimicking and supporting/encouraging. When the YL are under the goalposts, the DT is still on the sidelines with the crowd. There can't be a drawback to having more people exhorting the fans.
Step 2:
Make like General Rudder and force integration with the YL. Have elections for 4 male and 1 female YL.
Step 3:
New Army gets over it the first time a CT scores with a dance team member after a touchdown (or FG in our present situation).
Step 4:
Old Army gets over it when... after A&M gets more recognition for being less homoerotic, gets that 4 star recruit, gets a couple more wins, and gets more tv exposure... the ticket price goes down $5.
Step 4a:
Old Army would also get over it when they die off; whichever happens first.

Female Yell Leaders has gained a lot of traction. What say you Ags:

A.) 1 FYL to 4 Tra-la-las
B.) 2 to 3
C.) 4 to 1
D.) 5 FYL
E.) Stick with our time worn tradition

One more choice


F.) > 5 FYL, or song girls, or whatever they're named
