Still, some students aren't convinced. "I just couldn't see a female yell leader," says Cameron Lundberg, an A&M freshman, calling it "a very manly role at the university."Even some women at A&M oppose the idea. "There's something about having five males," says Arrington Hayes, a senior who is campaigning for an all-male slate of candidates. "I think it's just a tradition that we should uphold and preserve," she says.A&M fan message boards are teeming with opposition. "If I wanted to hear a woman yell at me, I'd go home to my wife!" wrote one Aggies fan. Another called the idea of a female yell leader as unthinkable as "a male server at Hooters."Last week somebody defaced one of Ms. Ketcham's fliers, scratching out its message and scribbling NO on it in block letters. Though Ms. Ketcham says she has encountered many against her in the campaign, she focuses on her supporters, for whom she sometimes lets loose a traditional A&M yell: "A-A-A whoop!"​

Opponents tend to argue that a female yell leader might find it "awkward" to get tossed into a campus fountain following football victories while wearing the traditional white pants and shirt, a dunking customary for yell leaders. Ms. Ketcham says she would wear a bathing suit beneath her yell uniform just in case.​

good lord, it is like a different world down there. However, the article comments are dissappointingly pretty minimal so far.
 
and the comments begin to deliver!

I love the fact that Texas A&M stands out amongst a bunch of high school cheerleader Universities. As Coach Jackie Sherrill once told a reporter who asked him why we don't have cheerleaders: "Aggies grew out of having to watch girls on the sidelines to actually sitting beside them for kissing at Texas A&M University"

The proverbial "joke" is on all you high school universities.






Gig'em!​

I respect A&M's tradition and hopefully that doesn't happen in College Station. Got to agree with that Aggie fan that if he wanted to hear a woman yelling, he'd prefer his wife at home. :lol:
 
Does that mean a female yell leader would have to squeeze her tits?

It's certainly going to be awkward the first time they do their patented elephant walk.
 
This girl is the sister or cousin or neice to Jeff Ketcham who runs OrangeBloods.com (UT website - where Chip Brown did all his conference realignment damage) and is the main host of the ESPN Austin afternoon drive radio program.

She may be a UT insider infiltrating and ruining aggy in an evil scheme. Either way, this will be entertaining. All those "old army" guys will be pissed!
 
If you ever have any aggy explain their traditions to you, it is one of the more harrowing/entertaining moments of your life.

Definite improvement. Time to put this tradition to bed.

I won't say what the picture on the left reminds me of, the one on the right could be a member of the Omega house in Animal House - "thank you sir may I have another!"

This. When you sit there with an incredulous look upon your face, they will finally end the conversation with this phrase:

"Well, from the outside you can't understand it. And from the inside you can't explain it." As if that one statement makes all the crazy go away.

It reminds me of Nazis - I assume that is what you were alluding to? They are some creepy mofos in Collie Station.

Check out the uniform on the right and compare to what Perry is wearing. The Corps even have the flared pant legs.

i know when the Big XII formed, i couldn't believe what a bunch of homer psychopaths those guys were. with jars of man jizz on top of the bonfire.....weirdos. they sort of hid the freakshow in the SWC, but they went national with the Big XII.

groan. i might even rather go to Baylor.
