I think it's pretty dang cool, and I'll join in.

When it's sung, perhaps the A/V people can put your video it on the jumbotron.



(and I think this would be cool at Kyle Field too)

jayhawk you do realize they are not going to be playing taps during the chant right?

i said my final words. but i must say more. yes, i do realize taps will not be played. come on. good luck with it fellas.

^
Glad you're done with your useless opinions.

jayhawk_sandwich, who are you exactly? Why are you here?

Just wondering.

wow. top grade aggie calling my opinions "usless". as if any of these opinions are "useful". i am here because i am here and that is all you need to know. why are you here?

Guys, come on. I appreciate Jayhawk's concern, and if anyone should comment on a chant, it should be someone from KU.

Jayhawk, believe me, everything you have talked about on here has been taken into consideration. We know that there is a good chance of it failing, but from what we have seen here, this has chance, albeit maybe not as good as something else, but it has a good chance of working because of it's history.

Having said that, Jayhawk, regardless of your stance, it has been put in motion for this to be implemented. So thank you for your concern, but that is all. Everyone else, don't turn this thread into a flame fest, he's obviously on here for a reason as are we.

That and TexAgs is really the only real message board that you can have intelligent conversations on, so I can understand why he is here. (yeah I said it.)

thanks rag, obviously you dont take these things personal. i have not been in support of this because i do not believe it is going to be that empowering of a chant. i am sorry i cant come up with something more constructive, for example, offer an alternative idea. rock chalk was established way before my time and i had nothing to do with it, obviously. but like i said before, make a fool of me and make this work and make this awesome and i will happily come to this thread and eat a lot of crow.

If a jayhawk eats crow?? Isn't that cannibalism?

I appreciate Jayhawk's opinion. It's always fun to have some other fan base to tell us how drunk we are on the maroon koolaid.


And, don't eat me.

ttt

Anyone remember the last yell TexAgs tried to get???

Bleacher stomp.....man what an epic failure that was. All we need to do was just stomp out feet o the bleacher while we yelled AAAAAAAA on defense.

of course the silliest thing on this thread is some dit from an opposing school opining on whether our ideas would "work". Especially given that we are Texas A&M and probably giveless of a rat's ass what other schools think than any other school in the land.

The jayhawk dit sounds like some passerby at a sidewalk cafe leaning in to opine on a diner's conversation.

There are some things you just ought to kindly excuse yourself from.....

get out jayhawk

blah blah blah... dont use me as the scape goat for your shortcomings.

ttt... any updates for the game tonight?

yeah, get this going for tonight. It'd be fitting to start it again on Big Monday against t.u.

the last yell texags put together...

me and a few other guys: macaggie, palooza and others organized the Watermelon Yell...

I would say that was fairly successful!

It seems it would be too late to get together before tonight, unless they already plan to show a video to the crowd before hand.

unfortunately guys, we have not had the time to be able to get this implemented as of yet. I have been trying to meet with several different people for quite some time now about it, but it apparently is an extremely busy time right now. I would love to see us do it, but I still want to try to make it as official as possible. I promise that I will update everyone and get information as fast as I can so that this has the chance of happening.

the "farmers fight farmers fight" you were just doing, just now, is the one you should go with. that has potential. in a silent building thats a nice cadence. sounds good.

fyi.. it was with 11-12 minutes left to go in the second half.

it did sound good

So did the Farmer's Fight/Taps actually happen?

no

the fast paced farmers fight stomp yell was pretty good

Farmers Fight is too awesome

Agreed!

2nd half, 11:57

Watch that possession, that's where the farmers fight chant is. Liked the stomping and clapping, good sound.

what the hell was that? And where did it come from? It sounded really cool....

wow you guys get your panties wadded easily, for what its worth by reading about it I think it would sound pretty silly too, in fact I'm shocked so many people jumped on with the idea I figured it was just gonna get mocked, maybe when I hear it in person I'll think otherwise but don't act so shocked people disagree that it would sound good

Some guys just started chanting Farmers Fight to the We Will Rock You beat. You know the stomp-stomp-clap thing. While I think this would be cool to do during the game as an extra cheer/chant/whatever they are (like Texas Aggies clap-clap-clapclapclap), I still think the Farmers Fight chant to Taps has the potential to be something powerful and retro for us b/c of its history. IMO.

I'm ttt this one b/c I still believe this could be something powerful and two I think that the summer or early fall (aka the offseason) would be the time to try to implement this. I hope that we could still get enough support to try to get this going. Thoughts?
