I spent four great years as a member of TGBFTL drumline, so you can STFU. Did you stay for every minute of every LSU home game, and all but one road game in 93 and 94? I doubt it. People in the band don't have the option to get up and leave the stadium when times are tough, or when it pours rain, or both. You want to put your LSU football fan card next to mine? You will lose. Kiss my, and any other current and former member of TGBFTL's arse.

So this is a sensitive subject for you apparently.

They were very good because they did the same damn halftime show every time they came to Tiger Stadium.
For those not familiar with Military Marching Band style, it may appear to be the same, but I can assure you the show is different every week and year to year. Now they do start out in the endzone in the same formation before stepping off on Hullabaloo and almost always end in a block T, but the show is different.
Here's a link for the half time shows so far this year except for Saturday's. LINK
Its possible we could see a 4 way cross at the LSU game.

we can summarize this whole thread with this
ATTN Aggies: yes you are a good academic school, we arent saying you're not. we are saying you're weird arse people and nobody is jealous.
To have matching rings is gay
to have male cheerleaders is gay
to have yells is gay
when you see another aggie wearing a hat or shirt in public you pass by them and say "whoop"....and thats not gay???
basically the only people who think your traditions are cool are you. the other 99% of the world is sitting there laughing at you guys. maybe if you had 20 titles and dominated every year it would see 1% less gay but no, everything about your school is gay.
oh yeah and college station is still a shithole and the campus is ugly as shite

Look. The people I knew in TGBFTL were there because they loved LSU. I'm sure there were some who stayed in for the required two years for scholarship and promptly left, but everyone I knew or knew of stayed in 4 or 5 years during the darkest period in LSU football history. Being in the band right now is probably an easy sell, but at that time, it certainly wasn't. I know people who stayed in for 4 years of Curley ball. Who never saw a winning season or bowl game for their efforts. Those cats bleed purple and gold with the best of them. If you can't respect that, especially as an LSU fan, then go frick yourself.

Hey let's get back to ripping on the aggies and bringing up their weird traditions.
For example: The Jizz Jar.

For example: The Jizz Jar.
quote:
The jizz jar was an Aggie bonfire tradition before their rivalry game with the Longhorns. Cadets would be masturbated by a cheer leader into a jar and then place it in the outhouse (symbolizing the UT tower) on top of the woodpile before the fire was lit. The surviving jars are used to fertilize the A&M sheep stock for the following school year.

I don't know, man... it looks the same and sounds the same, just as I remember it!
If you want to try and fit in with the rest of us, at least give those dudes in overalls some flags or something to twirl.

Relax man, I made a comment about arguing about bands, not about the bands themselves and certainly not about the people who are members of those bands. Count to ten, breathe deep, etc...

Is it just me or do Aggies have a lot in common with scientologists?

Feel free to backpedal, but this entire thread isn't about football. It's about the traditions and fanbases. The bands are a big part of that for both LSU and A&M, in case you haven't noticed.

Ok, guys enough with the band bullshite. Aggie's are some weird mfr's.... please.... continue...
Posted on 10/15/12 at 11:13 am to misey94
Wanted to give my perspective as another Ag. Everything yall seem to "hear", everything yall see, and everything the stupid media SHOWS is from the Corps of Cadets. Our oldest student organization, they call themselves the "keepers of the spirit" and are responsible for 99.9% of the traditions you hear about or so. I might also add that they comprise 5% of the student body according to the most recent figures. To judge an entire population based on 5% is nothing short of stereotyping. Only those who don't care to look at the other 95% of the people, and those over at Shaggy, think the entire student body is as "weird" as the Corps.
I have some friends and distant family members who were in the Corps and I got along great with them. I respect the Corps enough even though it isn't for me. A lot of them go on to be commissioned directly into the armed forces AT our student graduation ceremony.
To the outside we may be weird and unfortunately once again the Corps has been caught in way too many GIFs and screenshots doing something that looks retarded. It's weird that we still have male yell leaders in 2012 but that's tradition for you. All cheerleaders were male back in the day. Apparently it's weird that I wear my Aggie Ring after I graduated. I guess I join the weird ranks of those at the Citadel, Notre Dame, Westpoint, VT, etc. I'm ok with it.
I take great pride in knowing that I graduated from such a great school, let alone such a great engineering program, and no one around here at work has any doubts that I'm worth what my diploma says.
Enjoy College Station, yall. If you're used to a big city, you'll be in for a shock. If you're expecting a podunk town, you're also in for a shock. The city is nice, clean, and campus is huge so don't get lost. I hope yall get treated well and I apologize for any drunk fans ahead of time. The Lord knows every fan base has it's share of "less than nice" people.

Living in Houston, I have a LOT of coworkers that are Aggies. My experience is that the large majority of them, in a one on one situation, are extremely nice, easy going, mostly normal people.
BUT, get more of three of them together, especially during football season, and it's like a switch is flipped in their brain stem and they all fricking zombify in to cult like drones. They truly get weird.
I had a bunch of friends, neighbors, and coworkers over for the Cotton Bowl and the majority of them were Aggies. It was the first time I witnessed the Aggie phenomenon, and it was shocking. People that I had known for years as logical, fair minded individuals, were suddenly pompous, cocky, and MOST of all, acting entitled to some sort of Godlike respect for their team with nothing but excuses and whining for any call that didn't go their way.
I'll be at College Station for the game, working my company's tail gate party. I will be surrounded by Aggies. I will be wearing my company supplied maroon shirt with our logo on it because I'm a team player. But I will also be wearing my faded and worn LSU hat because I'm an LSU fan as WE HAVE A REAL GODDAMN TIGER!
