FC/OT: Weirdest cheer in college football?
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
No, but remember the A&M yell "leader" wishing JoePa was one before the Alamo Bowl? Stay classy, College Station!They’re corpses?
As far as I can tell the most recent A&M graduate to hold a three or four star flag officer post in any branch of service is 1987. They have a few in the pipeline but nothing close to the service academies.
Old snobbishly entitled UVA cheer when they were losing to plebian schools like VA Tech:
That's all right, that's OK!
You're going to work for us someday!
OK, so not really a cheer but this classic deserves its annual referencing somewhere so ...
Every word of this post is inaccurate.
The Corps of Cadets at A&M, like The Citadel, VMI and a few others are designated by the Department of Defense as Senior Military Colleges (SMCs). I have no idea where you got the tremendously stupid idea that the A&M Corps of Cadets is not an ROTC unit. ROTC is their source of commissioning and they all have documentation to prove it.
You might want to consider pulling your head out of your *** before you post again.
A&M is a weird place but still a great gameday atmosphere. Living nearby I've been to several games and wish we'd have a home and home with them. Every little thing is a tradition to them, and they do suffer from little brother syndrome with UT a bit, but I root for them over the insufferable Longhorns and their fans. That said, the cringe is strong. Even in business meetings here when someone says they are an A&M grad people yell out "WHOOP" in the conference rooms. It's weird.
Their first home game against UT as members of the SEC is going to be a crazy environment.

Since I think it’s funny enough for the bother,
“Fly’s open, let’s go Peay!”
I respect Texas A&M as an academic institution ( they are AAU) and I admire their spirit, but if every little thing is a tradition, then in my humble opinion, nothing is a tradition.

Thanks a lot Midnighter. Now I can't get this stupid "yell" out of my head. It's like a plague.
It could work for NW as well, as long as they use it when they play Iowa.LOL, I thought that was a Northwestern Cheer.

A cheer common among Ivy league schools, save one, "What's the color of shlt? Brpwn. Brown, Brown!"
I was going to retort that this school is a pile of cow patties compared to PSU but then I remembered there are actual cow patties in our parking lots.
“We’re not dumb! We’re smart. We can take your car apart! Goooooo Pitt!”
TAMU is definitely a different animal.
My first experience with their gameday traditions was at the Alamo Bowl in 2007. Unusual and a bit strange, to say the least. And I'd have to agree that the Yell video is a bit cringy. They have their traditions, that's for sure. It was fun beating them in '99 and '07
The campus is ginormous, the biggest in the country. More of a small city than a college campus. My son graduated from there last year with a degree in Computer Engineering. After an internship this summer, he returned to TAMU with a full fellowship to get his Master's degree.
TAMU has a top shelf engineering school. Check out: https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-engineering-schools/eng-rankings. The main engineering building (Zachry Engineering Education Complex) is state of the art facility (thank God PSU is finally going to demolish the pathetic Hammond building).
As a PSU engineer working in Texas for the past 33 years, I've worked with more TAMU engineers than from any other school, by far. I can personally attest that the school produces a very fine product.
TAMU began as a military school. The Corps of Cadets is no f'n joke. 45% of the Corps members go on to become commissioned officers upon graduation in all branches of the military. Nothing fake about it.
A big money school for sure. It's a bit mind boggling that they can't seem to field a consistently good football team. They'll be a formidable force in the SEC if they ever get a real coach and put it all together.

I gotta imagine this is what the USC song girls are like for gay guys. Glad there's something out there for them too.
Goofy indeed! I knew from the subject line that this thread would be about Texas A&M
I experienced an 80s iteration of these guys up close at the 87 Cotton Bowl… Ohio State vs. A&M.
Our high school marching band had appeared in the Cotton Bowl parade that day, and we had field-level seats for the game about 25 yards from this weirdness. It kept us amused at least!
Are you really suggesting that is anywhere near the level of this Aggie cheer? Sheesh.
I always liked that song and, for some reason, I like the routine the band goes through when they're on the field.
It's a great fight song, just too much emphasis on Texas IMO. A&M is the little brother. Big brother doesn't obsess over what their in state rival is doing, they have bigger concerns.
Back in the late 70’s we had a cheer that went
“Interception, contraception, stop that ball”
We had repress them, repress them. Make them relinquish the ball
