Why is A&M planning on conducting Midnight Yell at 5:30 pm for the t.u. game? I mean, it is kind of in the name. I can't even imagine the traffic on Wellborn Friday between 4:30 and 5:30. Yikes!

Because Bonfire is the same night

Yeah, calling it 'Midnight Yell' at 5:30 does feel a bit off! Lol But I'm guessing they're trying to manage the crowds and logistics with it being such a huge game. Wellborn traffic is already a nightmare, so maybe they're hoping to avoid a total gridlock. Still, it's going to feel strange yelling at sunset! Whoop for the early birds!

It doesn't really matter, and we can get to bed earlier.

Tell me you're not still a student without telling me you're not still a student.

I saw a post that said Elko wanted the team to be at Yell that night. I have no idea if this is true or not, but it was on TexAgs ( not from TexAgs staff) so it HAS TO BE TRUE! Right?

This is true. I know some people on the inside of that decision and for multiple reasons, including Elko wanting his team to participate without sacrificing sleep, they decided to move yell practice to an early evening time slot. It also give you the chance to go to bonfire or the concert right after.

If we dont make Lubbys before the riff raff dinner crowd, we might sleep in and miss the chance to loudly open and close every door on our suburban at 4:15 am.

Still seems like a pain but if you are going to do it, I guess that is probably the best reason. I like the idea of getting the team involved. Otherwise, I'd say leave it alone.

So, the University recognizes the "unofficial" bonfire? Hmmm.

Because 'new Ag' said "dark:30" like 10 years ago, and it stuck.
Thanks and Gig'em!

Just give up. We could call it Maroon Yell Practice to conserve the MYP brand new TLA…

Young people who turned 12 or so after 2011 know not much at all about the tu/Ag rivalry! Maybe Elko is trying to acquaint them with some of it .

Did anyone click the link from the university? It's just called yell practice. We did this pre-SEC when we played the sips.

Traffic won't be like a normal Friday because of the Thanksgiving holiday.

No biggy, ain't nothing same anyway. We called it MIDNIGHT YELL PRACTICE, that's even changed. I'm glad I'm to old to go!

The big question is, why not hold it at midnight??!!

Because there's more to this decision than your personal wants and you can't take the time to listen to the reasons given.
