When did it become a thing to yell YOU! after "...the eyes of Texas are upon you"? Link to the reel below for reference

Fish Camp is where all the changes get anchored, whether intentional or not. I know I'm getting old and cranky because changes to our long-standing yells wear me out.

"Farmers, fight!" turned into "Farmers, FIIIIIIIIIGHT."
"A.g.g.i.e.s!" turned into "A.g.g.i.e…EHHHHHHSSSS."

And for God sakes, learn the first verse of the War Hymn again so we don't sound obsessive over one team. We're in the big leagues now.

It's one thing to change the way a letter or a word is said, it's a whole other deal to change the lyrics

The shifting with "Squads left, Squads right" is stupid too….but adding "YOU!" Needs to stop now.

That is true. Or even the 12th man song. Damn I sound like the old man yelling at clouds!

It is not a good addition.

Of course, some complaining went right along with the singing of "Hump it Ags" before the yell in Spirit.

OP'e gripe pales in comparison.

New Army has F'd up the yell Locomotive too.

Instead of a loud whoop to simulate a train whistle, now it's goofy high pitched whoooOOOOoooo that's more representative of Marilyn Monroe getting her dress blown up

I blame the addition of the second YOU for the L we are about to have

Current students own the traditions and modify them and always have. Deal.

Thst was a branding decision likely initiated via Jason Cook then embedded in our system seal by the system chancellor.
