Neck is one of the most unique college football traditions for a school. Gives the tigers some sass and attitude for their competition

I don't think it's a coincidence that they didn't play Neck once on Saturday night. That likely didn't help their performance

Everyone else does mo bamba. Our yells are good but we need something more aggressive

"If you ain't wearin my jersey. **** you" is pretty great.

But we need something like Neck. Maybe yell leaders can come up with something

What say you?

Neck also isn't a unique tradition as many HBCU bands also play versions of it. LSU is probably the largest school that their band plays it though

I like the high energy dance music at games, but wish that we didn't play songs with lyrics that contain sexual innuendo. There are too many kids at the games for that to be played.

Lyrics that don't contain sexual innuendo? Bout the only song I can think of like that is Sandstorm.

just support LSU if you want to be LSU

Never understood why people want A&M to be more like other schools. You had the option to go to other schools, you chose A&M likely because it was different, right?

Garbage. I hope we never stoop that low. How anyone can want that type of stuff going through their head... much less their family's... baffles me.

Have some class and self respect. Seriously.

I have to assume this was a morning troll post from boredom.

It's not a morning troll post

It's rabid and it's SEC. It's awesome even if I don't condone the language the students added to it

Do you think "if you ain't wearing my jersey, **** you" is somehow more moral?

Kids in the stands don't hear the tunnel chant.
Don't really hear mo Bamba lyrics either.

But Neck?? There's no way to not hear that.

Be better.

Yeah I'd say it's just an expression of the deep-seated cultural ambiguity that Louisianans feel, being both so different from the rest of the South and being a collection of so many different influences.

On the one hand that ambiguity gives them leeway to embrace catchy pieces of culture from the margin like STTDB. On the other hand, it means they have much weaker filtering of what they identify with, and overall end up with their fanbase's (well-renowned) trashy character.

As Aggies, we've experienced about as little collective ambiguity about our identity as any major university. It's a nice place to be. Look how many college programs have co-opted icons from our culture, such as "link with your neighbor & sing while swaying back & forth." (That one's almost as broadly copied as "Cameron Crazies" is in MBB). We had trending recruiting pics with players wearing cowboy hats 10? years before Deion Sanders ever remotely considered wearing one. Don't get me started about the NFL's attempt to co-opt the 12th Man. And now, in 2024, (despite the many justifications for BAS) we have unquestionable claims on **being** college football.

The point is, being secure in your identity pays off big in the long run.

Better off creating a singing chant and jumping to shake the stadium

definitely didn't choose A&M bc the one tradition that everyone mocks. But I agree that Neck is goofy AF and trailer-park like LSU.
