Who leaves a game going "wow how about that mascot dog?"

Not a soul. And thanks for helping make my point. Because Rev is not an integral part of the action. She's on the sideline, and not taking away from the best game atmosphere anywhere. If they were running Rev out to midfield during timeouts and having her go catch a frisbee or some other cheesy crap.....I'd have a big issue with that. So again my point....as long as they don't interrupt the flow of what's been going on for years, and what already make a game at Kyle great....no problem with a dance squad at all.

So, by having ADT on the sidelines we are further objectifying women. By showing off our prettiest (or some of our prettiest) women we are providing a visual example of what a women should strive to look like. Therefore, our best hope is that by having ADT on the sideline they receive airtime, and are seen by young impressionable girls on TV (or at the game). Hopefully the outcome becomes that those girls strive to look hotter by exercising/working-out more and in turn the 5's become 6's, the 6's 7's, and so on. As a result it is safe to assume that we would then see the female hotness levels on campus grow. Now not only are recruits benefiting, but so is the general student body.

When you think of the state of Texas you think of attractive women. How are Green Bay, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland going to round up enough hots to fill out a squad. It's something we are proud of down here.

If you don't enjoy looking at hotties on the sidelines then you are at least one of the following:

1) Gay
2) Blind
3) A heterosexual female (still some debate on this one)
4) Stupid
5) Repressed
6) A eunich (a word real men have no idea how to spell)
7) Mike_Honcho315

The seemingly endless commercials, promotions, and introductions on every play stoppage at Kyle Field has really hurt our game atmosphere, IMO.

We need more FTAB and more yells during breaks. If we can add some on-field eye-candy in some manner that doesn't take time away for yells or for the band, that'd be fine -- not sure what the girls would do though...

But I don't want a dance team or cheerleaders further reducing time for two of the things that make the Kyle Field atmosphere great -- the yells and the band.

Or a terrible speller! EUNUCH!

I know that it was probably disregarded in my earlier post but there are 5 teams in the NFL who do not have cheerleaders!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League_Cheerleading#Teams_without_cheerleaders

They have a total of 11 superbowls between them!

OP, there are support groups for folks like yourself. They may help you accept yourself for what you are.

I really don't understand how some people are so dense as to not be able to understand: it's about marketing and tv. That's it. None of us are clamoring for cheer leading routines.

Senator Larry Craig supports the OP and not have hotties on the sideline. For the record, T-Bone do not support this position. I am not gay nor have I ever been gay.

I've seen a similar comment several times in this argument and it cracks me up. Yeah, if those 10-12 Dance Team chicks were in the stands I'm sure they'd spend the entire game just going around making out with TexAgs posters. Would it really improve your experience at the game if there were a hot chick in a t-shirt dress and boots 3 rows behind and 12 seats over from you?

How can we make this happen?!

Worm....LOL like they'd ever get with my fat middle-aged azz......just saying, staring slack-jawed at those girls is like driving by the Ferrari dealership.....nice to look at, but you and I are never gonna have one, so what's the point? Wouldn't you much rather have an actual female companion WITH YOU that you might actually stand a chance of hooking up with? Maybe that's just me...dunno.....

[This message has been edited by dixichkn (edited 2/21/2012 12:50p).]

Dude, don't short change yourself. You're probably stupid AND gay! See how things are looking up?!

So you never look at and appreciate seeing a Ferrari driving past you dixie? You just pout and say "oh well I'll never own one so what's the point of even looking?"

Yes.

Agree with OP 150%. Dance teams are beyond stupid. They contribute nothing. If you want to see dancing girls, go to a strip club.

And I'm no where near gay

Always a good sign when Sea Bass agrees with you.

No, I don't go to football games to hook up with chicks. In fact, it has hindered my efforts at least once when said chick got mad that I "ignored" her the whole game. If I'm looking for female companionship, Kyle Field is probably the very last place in that town I would go.

More so than the same chick wearing a sparkly tube top and mini-skirt on the jumbotron?

OP, you are wise!

because boobs.

I honestly cant see why ANYONE is opposing this.

When cutting in or out to commercial on a National TV broadcast would you rather see

Exhibit A:


Or Exhibit DD:






We're in the SEC now. Image is everything.

Call me new army or whatever you want...but honestly, by and large the corps is pretty ****ing embarassing.

There. I said it.

I don't stand there looking at Ferraris and pout....I'm already driving! That's my point! OK so I'm driving a 2010 pickup...... doesn't mean I don't WANT a Ferrari.

I just know my limitations.......(cue Debbie Downer music) LOL

ANYWAY..........YES to the dance team as long as they don't mess up the good thing we've already got.

So if it is about marketing the school, how or why did those who support ADT come to A&M without one? If that is so important , why not go to UH or UNT who have dance teams?

dumb, just dumb. dance team or cheerleaders on the field. dunno why you think a school with 50K students only has enough hotties to make a dance team...there's thousands upon thousands of hotties

I don't see the argument for it either way. Can't really see hot girls on the field from up in the stands anyway. By the same token who cares if they are there. They aren't hurting anyone. Non-issue

Whatever helps with recruits. I don't like the change, but if it helps get better recruits, then go for it.

Put the hotties in every section. Eye candy must be moved ever closer for us old Ags.
