Was wondering what the clap clap clap one was.

BUY A TICKET!!!!

Do we still yell "Touch is butt!" when the coach goes out to talk to the pitcher? Opposing team, of course.

I heard the "Whoop" and "Whoooo" yesterday, done when opposing reliever comes and is warming up with catcher.

Used to do the "Whoop, Whooo and pick it up!" when there was a foul ball into the netting behind home plate...

That is all I can remember; it's been too long since I've been to a game!

I recall the "walk is cheaper" being introduced during Daylan Holt's monster season.

Touch his butt

Followed by dirty old man or tease still happens

"LEAVE HIM IN!" "TAKE HIM OUT!" "LEAVE HIM IN!" "TAKE HIM OUT!" etc etc.

Loved that. And I've heard a few times recently so it is still around. But not many kids probably know "TASTES GREAT! LESS FILLING!" anymore, so....

God help you in my day if you walked up on the phone.

Also the old right field bleacher chant for late comers.

Variation on "Walk is Cheaper" is mixing in "Don't Be Cheap!"

When did we start singing the war hymn every inning after the ninth? By the 15 folks were so worn out it sounded pretty dejected.

Have always sung the War Hymn before the last half-inning. Some games have more "last" half-innings than others.

As long as I can remember we sing the War Hymn before every Aggie at bat in extra innings. I am certain it was done in the '89 season.

Edit: tonytx phrased it better in that the War Hymn is sung before every potential "last" half inning of a game.

Also, if everyone was singing instead of whining it wouldn't have sounded so dejected as you put it ...

Davidson fans starting their own "Durin" chant when he started cruising was pretty effin funny as well. Props to all 26 of them.

TSO!
TSO!

When and why did "It makes me feel so good" get added to the ended of the rifelman?

At some point in the years since Dan Campbell made his famous comment at Bonfire, A&M started embracing a diversity of sexual orientations.

I'm nowhere near that old and remember the days before that little addition was made sometime in the early to mid '90s.

Swish swish swish every time a Diamond Darling would prance out to grab a foul ball or take some balls to the home plate ump

Only when wearing pants.

Legs legs legs for shorts.

It's still pretty great. The snowflakes are more likely to get their little feelings hurt these days though.

We had much better material back in the days before political correctness.

What we called Pan American (UT- Rio Grande Valley) in the '80s through the early '90s would not fly in today's PC world. Heck no one was safe, we were not above heckling the oppositions version of the Diamond Darlings.

Indeed. Some of the stuff I used to yell would send a Snowflake into 6 months of therapy and it was PG (most of the time).

I always wondered if people still yelled this and just confused the he'll out of people.

Back when Jason Tyner was playing there was the "a walks as good as a double" chant.

We always yelled "walk is cheaper" with bases loaded.

twoses!!!!

on a 2 out 2 ball 2 strike count on O or D, rub the bill of your hat with 2 fingers till the pitcher goes to throw, then take your hat off and hit the rail if its there, and hold it upside down, like a bowl if we are on O or right side up if we are on D and wiggle it back and forth for good luck from the baseball gods....

Where did this one come from?

The fact that you don't know the "Two-sies" rule makes me weep for the future.

My apologies. I've seen it since I was a teenager. I'm just curious as to the origins of the tradition. It is indeed extremely impressive and elaborate.

Twosies (or "twos") isn't exclusively an Aggie thing. It's an old, old baseball tradition. You can see it in a few baseball movies. Different clubs will do different things though.


I'm also surprised nobody has mentioned tapping 6-4-3 with rings.

When I was there in the late 80's and early 90's, we didn't have phones...

I remember a player for tcu named whose last name was Glasscock. Every time he came to bat we yelled "Don't break it!"

Every heavy player got "1 cheeseburger, 2 cheeseburger, 3 cheeseburger" on their practice swings.

A very tiny player for Arkansas, we slowly chanted "puberty" every time he came to bat.

Any player who had made an error became "Stooooopid", and we called him that for the rest of the game.

We would make fun of everything about everybody... and keep it clean.

There was one game during our spring break tournament where the other teams 1st baseman was named Bubba. We wailed on him the whole game, and chanted his name. Then we would switch to high pitched voices and chant it again.

The Aggies won the game, and afterwards the guy standing beside me on the front row yelled " Don't worry Bubba, I'll buy you a pitcher at the Chicken"

Sure enough, about an hour after the game Bubba, and several of his teammates showed up at the chicken, and walked right up to me and the other guy and said "where's my pitcher". So we bought the beer and they sat down and proceeded to tell us about how much they loved our fans, and wished they could get that kind of support at home.

Dude, that was Bubba from South Alabama. We probably shared more than a few brews at the Chicken and Olsen parking Lot.

The phone thing was when we moved back to CS for.the wife to get her masters. Early 2000's
