Welcome to the 20th century

Welcome to the 20th century

I'm not sure what is worse this post or calling beating Wyoming a huge win....

By the way, like 10,000 OLD AGS (over 60) had a hat on at the game, where is the not hat crap coming from??

uncovering is a recent "tradition."


meaning...it is NOT a tradition, despite what some morons like to say.

Only "uncover!" I like is at Mardi Gras and I have a bunch of beaded necklaces.

Franchione had the #1 defense in the nation in 2000 at TCU and the #3 defense in the nation in 2002 at Alabama.
THE WRECKING CREW IS COMING!

If the so-called tradition means something tow you just take off your own hat and stop worring about everybody else.

Hey, did anyone notice the white facemasks ... or Reggie's ankles?

that's what the 12th man towel is for

Nooooo, the 12th man towel is for waving in the air while screamming your head off to support the Ags. I usually do this with a hat on my head to shade my eyes from the sun so I can see my boys on the field while said screaming and waving of the 12th Man towel is going on.

It's really simple: when you're on the wood, the hat can stay on since you're not standing off to show respect for anything. When I'm on the wood I'd like everyone in the stands to have a killer mentality and yell like hell. I take my hat off when we have to get off the wood for something, i.e. spirit of aggieland, war hymn, national anthem, injuries. People try and scare me into thinking they'll yell at me the entire game, but they usually never say anything to me after that. Usually I just tell them, 'quit making **** up undergrad'.

This - I call it a huge win because of the score. This team needed a win like that and most people were expecting it to be close. As far as getting this young team (especially the D) confidence heading into Clemson - yes it was HUGE if you dont think so you must have forgotten 4-8.

PC version of UNCOVER:

Uncover has got to be the STUPIDEST new tradition ever.

Please ban the jack hole who started this thread.

My god, we had a nice game today, played something like football, and I log in to see what people were/are thinking and some a$$ clown is *****ing about hats....

How about you stay home, and suck on a cold one next week you limp noodle.

By the way...I will be in my hat, and I will uncover during the War Hymn, Spirit of Aggieland, Anthem, and Texas our Texas....thats all though.

What a piece of work.

I left my hat on for one or two yells today. When someone noticed it they got my attention from a few rows up and asked me to take it off next yell. I obliged just to avoid a stupid confrontation but thought it was ridiculous. What was really funny is the guy 3 seats down from me was never told to uncover, I guess his maroon hat blended in with the shirts so no one noticed.

What was also funny is how they don't yell at anyone for standing up and not doing the yell, as long as their hat is off.

my eyes are very sensitive to light...i have to wear sunglasses and a cap even on overcast days and my eyes still water..i take my hat off and shade my eyes with my hands at appropriate times.. i've had two cornea rransplants and numerous laser surgeries ..so take "your uncover"orps and shove it...by the way i was the last compulsary class and last to wear the amc brass i attended when there were no women on campus so don't give me that tradition bullsh*t '' i bet i'm a bigger aggie at heart than you!

i'm sooo glad that you guys agree with me. i really hope that uncovering for yells dies off soon...along with skyrocket.

Next week I'm thinking of saying I had skin cancer on my head and cannot expose it.... although this may not work in the dark.

Part of the problem I have is that I never attended A&M, although maybe I could just say, hey I don't go here.

Anyone who yells uncover needs to have their a** kicked. Why the hell would you talk about "respect" while not showing any yourself.

This ruins the game day experience, theres nothing worth starting fights in the stands with people wearing the same color.

Maybe we should all just make a lot of copies of this thread and hand them out to those yelling.

The thing I've realized is that most do not understand this was never really a tradition and they seem to truly believe it is an absolutely horrible thing.

Yelling "uncover" at those wearing hats has to be a new tradition.

While I was in the Band, the only people who wore hats inside the stadium were the officials (because it's part of their uniform), visiting fans (because they were uninformed), the Corps (but ONLY during the march-in), and the Band while doing the half-time drill.
We were told as fish that those 52 American flags were to honor Aggies lost in WWI, and that made Kyle Field a memorial.

But we only had 11k back then, who really knew what it meant to be there (except for what we called "2 per-centers" ).

If that's more like 20% or more, now, then so be it. I realize that a lot has changed, and it's not the same University I went to. But I have my memories, good and bad. I'll keep them.

One Southwest Conference band director of the (Adams) era reportedly said "I dread going against the Aggie Band...It takes two weeks to recover from the trauma."

A close second would have to be the "Wrecking CREWWWWWWWWW" yell that the yell leaders tried to do a few years ago. They just couldn't stand that the crowd was doing a yell without them being a part of it.

I think it finally died because nobody would do that yell.

Kyle field is a memorial to WW1 veterans and the 12 Aggies who lost their lives to bonfire. I choose to uncover out of respect just as I would within the MSC. Gig 'em 83.

Amazing……

A "rookie" reaches back 21 years and brings back a thread for his first post. Sure would be a shame to get the ban hammer for trolling with your very first post, wouldn't it, "rook"?

D- troll

Huh??? I've been wearing a hat or a cap to our games since 1985.
