Adding fuel to the fire----A&M Style

So Pelini complimented the Huskers, saying “our fans are better than the Aggies’ fans.”

 

“I know they have some kind of thing on Friday night, like cheer practice,” Pelini told reporters

So do they have a practice cheer on Friday?

So do they have a practice cheer on Friday?

 

a comment about the article said it is called a midnight yell:

Aggie Fans stay till the bitter end, win or lose. They are loyal. The Aggie network is one of the finest networks in the country. I am a proud Aggie Mom and my son has done nothing but benefit from his Aggie experiences and education. Aggie games are never dead and they are never lack luster. The Friday night cheer practice he speaks of is Midnight yell and that cheer practice is more of a pep rally that several thousand people attend. BTHO Nebraska!!

 

then a google search told me what it was

Yell Practice began as a post dinner activity in 1913, when different corps companies would gather together to "learn heartily the old time pep." However, it was not until 1931, that Yell Practice as it is known today, was held before the t.u. game. It began, when a group of cadets were gathered in Peanut Owen's dorm room in Puryear Hall. Someone suggested that all of the freshmen should fall out and meet on the steps of the YMCA building at midnight. The cadets notified senior yell leaders Horsefly Berryhill and Two Gun Herman from Sherman, who could not authorize it, but said that they may just show up. Well, needless to say, the word spread quickly, and when the freshmen began to arrive, there were railroad flares and torpedoes stuck in flower pots around the YMCA building to light the area. The first Midnight Yell had begun!!!

 

Today, Midnight Yell is held the night before a home game in Kyle Field and at the Grove on Thursday nights before away games. Also for away games, a site is designated for a Midnight Yell in the city of our opponent on the night before the game. For example, for the t.u. game, it is held at the Texas Capitol in Austin. For a yell at Kyle Field, yell leaders lead the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band and the Twelfth Man into the stadium. The yell leaders lead the crowd in old army yells, the singing of the fight song, and tell fables of how the Aggies are going to beat the everlivin' hell out of our opponent for the next day. Lastly, the lights go out, and Aggies kiss their dates. If they don't have a date, all they have to do is flick their Bicks. As the story goes, the flames make it easier for two dateless people to find each other, and maybe they won't be dateless anymore!

 

The purpose of Midnight Yell is to pump up the Twelfth Man for the next day's big game!

 

In September 17, 1999, a new tradition was formed... First Yell (the first Midnight Yell of the school year) brought with it many related activities for everyone on Friday and Saturday including concerts, BBQ, and a Former Yell Leaders Reunion.

I thought this thread was going to be about the aTm bonfire tragedy in 1999. The aTm bonfire was one of the great traditions in all of college football. It ended up being one of the worst tragedies, killing 12 students. Very sad, tragic stuff indeed. LINK

i live in Texas and have been to numerous A&M games. All i can say is their is a reason Aggies are the butt of most of the jokes.

 

The games are cool but they think they are the only ones with a cool atmosphere. Personally I dont get the band thing or the all guy cheerleaders waving towels bending over.

 

If your not an alumni of A&M of live outside of Texas than nobody really cares about A&M. its a tough pill to swallow for their fans

[knapplc]

Here's a list of Texas A&M sayings. I like these guys. They're my favorite "new" team when we expanded to the Big 12. We've had a bunch of good games against them and they've always been respectful, good people. Gotta love the 12th Man legend, and the way they support their team. A&M is near the top of the list of teams I'm going to miss after this year.

Hump it (or Humping it)

During a yell, the crowd leans forward and places their hands on their knees to maximize the noise and so that those standing behind them can see.

 

Maybe Nebraska needs to start humping more, to bring up the noise at home games!
