BEAT THE HELL OUT OF ARMY!

I really don't see how showing/not showing respect for the Army has anything to do with a football game with a bunch of spoiled brat, brown-nosing west pointers. Take it from someone who has served with them.

If you want to honor our military, hang a flag, shake a veteran's hand, or send a Soldier a care package.

eff USMA. [/rant]

Beat the Hell Outta Yankees!

Beat the Hell Outta Arrogance!

Beat the Hell Outta Army U.!

Beat the Hell Outta USMA!

Does anyone know what will be written on the participation ribbons the players will get after the game? We want everyone to go home as a non-loser.

Geez! It is a football game and a yell about beating the hell out of the team on the field. Just because I want our football team to stomp a mudhole in their football team does not mean that I don't respect the young men who are suiting up. Even Mark Dodge is ready to BEAT THE HELL OUTTA ARMY!

While we're at it, scrap "military". We don't want to offend anyone by endorsing friendly fire.

paul, that's funny

i think you guys need to get some perspective - its a yell that we will alter for one game

BEAT THE HELL OUTTA ARMY!

Torcano, where does it end?
?remember that we play Air Force

for me, it ends with the service academies

also i just want to emphasize - this is purely a personal decision, i dont care what you choose to yell - for me i dont feel comfortable with it when playing against Army, Navy, or Air Force

if you feel comfortable with it, then by all means yell it loud - i dont think anyone will be offended or get the wrong idea

choose

feel

comfortable

offended

As I stated earlier, I agree with Torcano, but not because of any personal feelings on my part. This is just one more thing that if we are yelling "BTHO Army" that the media can point out and take jabs at us for. You take the risk of bad PR with absolutely no reward other than appeasing a few posters on internet message boards.

Many of you will say that you couldn't care less what the media or the general public thinks of us, but I guarantee that the Athletic Department does care.

you got me Mole, i used all those evil words in one post, i must be a communist

No. Just wet.

I don't know about you, raptor, but I'm not actually ON the team.

You're not the 12th man on the team?

My daughter is in the Army, spent a year in Iraq, she's an Aggie and her commander went to West Point. She says, "BEAT THE HELL OUTTA ARMY!!!!"

Texas showed class and respect when Bonfire fell by raising Aggie flags in 1998

im very suprised no one corrected this. Even more suprised you don't know that Aggie Bonfire fell at 2:42AM on November 19,1999

obviously, the game was played days later, remarkably without losing a year.

BEAT THE HELL OUT OF ARMY!!!!!!

Thanks and Gig'em

as i was reading this i kept waiting for someone to catch that.

BEAT THE HELL OUT OF ARMY!!!!!!

Without doubt, every opponent we face has alumni in the armed forces. We shouldn't be beating the "hell" out of any of them.

I propose we change it to "We desire very much to defeat you, but by that, we mean ONLY during this football game. We do not otherwise wish you harm in real life in case there was any confusion. We thank you for all that you have contributed to our society and we wish you only the best in the future with of course the notable exception of any athletic matches that may take place between our two school in the future at which time we will express a desire for victory ONLY in regards to said matches."


Or could it be that people in the military aren't idiots, and realize we don't hate them?

Do they call themselves the West Point Black Knights or the Army Black Knights???..............BEAT THE HELL OUTTA ARMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTHO ARMY!!!!!!

more importantly, we should uncover to show respect as the Army team takes the field.

BTHO ARMY!

Just yell BTHO Army and think of the Children

beat the ever livin' hell outta army!!!

beat army like a rug!!!
