It's time for a change. I'm all for embracing our traditions, but this is just embarrassing. Time to modernize, reassess and move on.

They lost me long ago with the tra-la-la video.

Never could respect their tradition after that.

If you're set on keeping them like it's always appeared the powerful people will, then at least add FEMALE cheerleaders to the sideline for the TV cameras.

Stop showing up to yell practice and that would go away. I don't mind the game day yells but the fact they go overboard trying to look weird as hell doesn't make sense to me. You can keep tradition and not be weird about it. When yell leaders started, all they did was lead yell. They didn't do all that other weird stuff. That was added later

Have you ever been to a yell practice??? It's supposed to be dumb.
I'm sure t.u. has a slam poetry meet up you can attend if that's more your style.

Who gives a **** what people on Facebook think. They have an opinion. Good for them.

Not sure how you're identifying? The point is that it makes A&M look soft!

Yell leaders used to read off jokes from playboy at Midnight Yell. Now they read off jokes from popsicle sticks.

Make Midnight Yell for Adults Again.

It's my opinion as well. I want to attract the best players and want players to want to be here, not just because of money. Kids aren't identifying with that. You guys that want to be successful on the field but don't want to change the silly aspects of the university are stuck in neutral.

Can you name any recruits who saw the yell leaders and said that's why they weren't coming here?

The sooner that people realize that yell practice is supposed to be quirky/corny the better.

The anti-cheerleader group think is such a weird hill to die on for a school that prides itself on conservative, traditional values.

I see no reason why a cheer or dance squad shouldn't be on the sidelines along side the yell leaders.

I also drink beer while watching football. CLUTCH THOSE PEARLS

Graduated mid 80s, corps and band. For a long time I've thought we should have both the yell leaders and a squad like USC song girls (maybe our dance team) on the sidelines. Represent all of A&M. The last few years, it seems the yell leaders have done hardly anything as they've been largely replaced by pumped in sound. Plus what seemed quaint but loveable 30 years past the 50s now seems downright archaic another 40 years on. I'm with those who say they should be respectfully retired. Gig 'em!

Old Ags give money. Old Ags like cornball ***** No matter how embarrassing Yell Leaders are, they aren't going anywhere. My vote would be for them to be sent to elementary schools and old folks homes only. Nobody else thinks that **** is funny or normal.

C/O 93 here. The yell leaders have gotten weirder and weirder over the years. The spinning around like twirlers without a baton looks ridiculous. Just need them to lead yells and do away with the ghey theatrics.

They shouldn't be retired. They should just go back the their roots. Just lead yells and leave the intentionally weird stuff behind. It's not funny to anyone, and really serves no purpose.

People complaining about college students doing harmless college things can't even write in proper English.

Tells me all I need to now about declining culture. With all the vulgarity and perversion around us, and the abject filth people consume in entertainment and the media, and some *******s like to call Aggies "ghey" and "cringe."

Fine by me you degenerate juveniles.

Every time the football team fails to do its job, stupid *******s flock to Texags to blame anything traditional about our culture. These simple minded ******s seem to think that if we just act more like our low IQ conference mates, then our football success will follow.

Exactly

Old Ag from the 90s here

They have devolved to something embarrassing
They used to be more red ass. And told better stories.

That ghey little hop was as stride with a pause holding their leg behind their calf (as if to Whoop) as they changed direction to pace the other way with some "alpha male presence"

I like showing nonAgs our uniqueness and traditions but I now skip the yell leaders.
Can't defend what it's become

But alas my donations are mid range so my vote and opinion is treated like a fart in the wind

Those that want over sexed college coeds to gawk at are the same ones who obsess over high school boys...

Do you know how I know the yell leaders aren't ghey? Because no self-respecting ghey man woukd put on a performance void of any artistic value.

This thread reeks of a horn troll job. Congrats to the Aggies who broke cover and admitted to looking at some dumb post on Facebook and being embarrassed.

Keep the yell leaders but adjust a little on the corniness
Maybe add some dancers on the sidelines
Sure as hell don't want cheerleaders leading a high school chat: VICTORY, that's the Aggies battle cry

In the 90s the yell leaders seemed more edgy and badass.

Never would've thought Aggies would want to change tradition due to TikTok. Pretty soon, they will be advising Kirk Herbstreit on how we should become like everyone else.

I'm all for adjusting for the times a bit, but to wholesale turn A&M into Ol Miss is baffling.

But hey, when you have the majority of the student body as valedictorians and the socially awkward, this is what you get.
