I didn't say make it like all the other ones

So many are quick to think
"THEY WANNA TAKE YELL LEADERS AWAY GTFO"

that isn't the case. They should continue doing the job they signed up to do

What they need to change is how they're being used as an extension of A&M in the media outside of their yell leader duties

Its a lose-lose for all of us. The world isn't laughing with us they're laughing at us


Who gives a **** if they're laughing or not? Like seriously. This sounds like a personal problem where you are insecure in who you are.

I don't know why you guys think yell stories not making a lot of sense is new. I remember a joke spot with some of my friends was when someone would tell a story that didn't really hit or make sense, someone would say, "And that's just what we are gonna do to them Aggies!"


We still use that one in our house for when someone says some nonsensical *****

Corny, but harmless.

If we give in, we could be waving Pom-poms in the stands like the Alabama men. Could be worse things.

Its hip and cool to late 20s and early 30s folks.

Did you think about walkability to bars or "live music scene" when you were 17? Or tech startup investment capital? Because I promise NO ONE HERE DID.

Arch picked them because he likes Sark. End of story.

Oh because 18 year olds don't go to bars and drink. I forget, have you ever been to northgate?

No thats what why. Its because 18 year olds can't differentiate between a keystone light readily flowing anywhere and special batch of Pliney the younger that a fancy Austin bars might have.

So many here clearly don't know how to build a brand or business. Stick to what you know.

Don't eliminate the yell leaders, stop live streaming this nonsense, stop saying these dumb jokes, just do the yells and that's it. Stop corps block and put some women cheerleaders on the sidelines

I guess you and your ilk waving dildos, screaming cocks not glocks is the image every school should have. Gotcha.

It doesn't matter. I know the boring "Austin is cool, so it impacts recruiting" argument. I've heard it a million times. And I get tired of hearing the same inane garbage over and over again.

I grant that it might impact recruitment to English PhD programs against the sips. For football? Its nothing. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Some of y'all young ags need to realize that Aggies are going to get hated in regardless bc we aren't cookie cutter random state U, the faster you realize that the faster you'll get over yourself. The fact that our society finds a couple of yell leaders telling stupid dad jokes cringey, while Oregon students are shouting "f the mormons", Colorado students yelling to TCU fans that Jesus isn't real, LSU fans singing a song telling opponents to S a tiger D, is what's wrong. I'll choose our culture of being one team that cares about our fellow ags every time, even if it's corny.
These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.-Thomas Paine

Tired of seeing cringe yell leader **** blasted out on tv and social media week after week after week.

Yell leaders need to continue doing what they do best. Lead yells.

At some point over the last 15 years, it's turned into a look at me fest. Tired of it. Flame away





Are you new here? This is what they have been doing since the beginning of time. With the exception of being toned down slightly to adapt to political correctness.

I could give a f*** less what most folks think of me personally. The point is, it's a widespread perception whether deserved or not. Do you not think this could have any affect on recruiting whatsoever? Don't think this won't be used against us in the day and age of EVERYONE having a public platform.


Oh here we go with the "it effects recruiting" argument. Been hearing that one for years, yet we continue to recruit at a very high level.
You know what effects recruiting? Winning, losing, coaching and facilities.

Yeah! Let's be more like Florida State and just keep repeating the same racially insensitive gesture and sound for the whole game!


Bunch of pansies in the thread.

Aside from me, of course.
That is hilarious! Well done! You appeared to not understand the very simple point I was making, you pretended that the sarcasm I was using to make said point went over your head, and then came over the top with a personal shot at my masculinity. That's the best impression of a Texags jack hole I've ever seen!

I want to party with you, dude. (Bring your daughters.)

It's too bad your ignore list is as big as it is, can't even defend yourself here

They're an embarrassment, always have been. The defenders are cringe as well... why even bother defending them? People will defend anything labeled "tradition" it seems.

As long as the checks clear we're good.
The competition has money too and 17-18 yo kids are impressionable. Why give them any reason and why give social media platforms ammo? Did you not see the videos and commentary from folks like Barstool Sports?
No one is asking to eliminate traditions. Maybe just make things a little less cringe worthy.

Since all traditions were brand new at one point, why not start new ones

Self ban sounds appropriate

Funny thing is facilities didn't become a big thing up until about 10 years ago when Oregon and Phil Knight made that change. Now NIL and the transfer portal are changing the landscape.

Nah, nothing ever changes. Just keep doing the same old thing. But don't complain if you get the same old result.

4 starters out for violating team rules the day before a game, thats the recipe for a meltdown and if this happened under sumlin we would get drestroyed. Im used to watching us put up embarrassing performances when our backs are against the wall, but Im glad we won last night eventhough it was ugly

Yell leaders are gay. Painter overalls is gayer than Boy George. They are an embarrassment and hate this and the constant shots of the the core and people doing horns down. Show the hotties in the stands not red neck dorks. Less hicks more chicks!
