why can't we do anything

[Superaggie79]

this energetic before a game?

[TwelfthAG]

Now that's an entrance! I want more energy. The players coming out holding hands while half the crowd claps in rhythm does not get you pumped up or the crowed loud.

[Superaggie79]

Or an entrance

[phatbc]

we just scored a field goal against tech, but we are down 14-3 :(

[TwelfthAG]

huh?

[phatbc]

it was on the ticker :o

[PinetarAg]

I think its okay....but too over the top. It reminded me of a wrestling match or something

[ekesqueaky]

I think ours is awesome!

[Superaggie79]

did you see how pumped everyone was? I'll admit I get chills during ours but it doesn't get me pumped up

[The Massacre]

i love the team entrance with the marchin cadence drums. it gives me chills everytime i see it.

me too

[Superaggie79]

But does it make you want to kill the other team? I think it's very rythmic and controlled and we all start clapping slowly and it's why you see a slow start by the start of the crowd noise.

doesn't make me want to kill anyone, but it does seem to potray the discipline of the team and how we treat each game and winning as our job. also seems to show me how serious the players are about the game.

that's just me though.

[Superaggie79]

But I think players need to have fun and be loose not tight like a soldier which is how I feel.... but that's just me

[Pumchavas28]

I don't think it really matters how they come in..... As long as the players dig it.

[Superaggie79]

do you think they dig it now?

[Pumchavas28]

I don't know... I am not at College Station.... you could probably ask them for us all.....

[PinetarAg]

I see j train everyday I'll ask him.

I'll be sure to ask then step off the track incase he doesn't want to answer

[Pumchavas28]

Let us know, because honestly.... I would really like to know...

[whitelightnin_23]

I feel like running on the field & hitting someone...anyone! That was AWESOME! If I was a recruit, that would sell me on a "on the fence" school...

[Mole]

I think stuff like that works for he Hokies because they are not as steeped in tradition as A&M is. Espically military tradition. I think our entrances are like that because it's a throwback/paying respect to the military roots of our school.

I'll be interested to see what the players have to think.

I never wanted to be geeked out on emotion when I played football on either offense or defense. I always played worse when I was running on raw emotion and didn't have my head on straight.

[PinetarAg]

too much like a 3 ring circus with the fireworks....nothing special about that....other programs i'm sure do something similar....pros do something like that....our is unique to us and very intimidating

[Superaggie79]

I could ask Marques Thornton he's an awesome dude

That's also part of what I was trying to say. Ours is unique to us. :gig:

[texags08]

that was way too hyped up of an entrance. They should have left the song going while they ran in though. that is the best transition song ever. You go from that quiet getting pumped mode into the rip off someones head mode. I still really like our entrance though. We did the same thing at my high school, minus the cadence.

Honestly what percentage of our recruits come here because of the traditions? Especially the military tradition. They want to play football. Maybe they like the closeness of the school and the camraderie but the military tradition is far from theirs and most of todays student body's mind.

[Dustin00whoop]

Forgive me for not being impressed with fireworks going off while Metallica plays--I give it zero originality points. You want something to get you pumped up? How about the Aggie Defense video they played during the tech game....now that was awesome.

[Pumchavas28]

I can think of one that came here because of our Military Back Ground...

[Superaggie79]

Do y'all ever wonder why no one in the current generation has drummers that play drum cadences as we go into battle anymore? Because they serve no purpose...

Maybe but the school that people go to today is built on military tradition. Why not make an entrance that fits the institution?

1 out of how many? 85 scholarship football athletes. That doesn't add up to much.

But the university isn't really made up of a military background now so it doesn't fit todays universty and the university wants to go away from it. The corps is viewed as an annoyance to the majority of the student body

[The Massacre]

i think the cadence is one of the things that makes A&M a special place to go to school and go to football games.

You've said a lot of ignorant things in your time here, but this one takes the cake. And why in the hell did you even bring this up again? You already started this thread once in the last few months....that was enough to last a freaking decade.

You sir said nothing about what was ignorant. Vision 20/20 if realized will bring students less worried about what the school is built on and more worried about what research is being done and the value of their degree. You cannot deny that. You're not on the campus and seeing how the good ol degrees like ANSC where the small town values come from are starting to fall apart. Also it just basic social change. The small towns of texas are dissappearing along witht he values they contain.

[Mole]

Vision 20/20 & most of the university is made up of people from big towns that come here because of the business school and then engineering school not the traditions.

Well there's your problem Vision 20/20. And that's exactly what the administration wants you to think. They put Vision 20/20 in place so that they could convince the next generation of Aggies that we're a big modern school and traditions don't matter anymore. They started out by making some of the most hardcore male dorms on Northside co-ed to try and subdue the people living there and break up dorm unity. Once Bonfire was gone all the dorm unity and respect for tradition that was built around it was easily swept away. Now they've convinced at least you that the corps is an annoyance and not relevant to the majority of students. How much longer till they get rid all but the major traditions: Slilver Taps, Muster, etc?

I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist but Vision 20/20 is the worst thing to ever happen to Texas A&M.

[Dustin00whoop]

Yeah, Vision 20/20 is a problem, but it hasn't effected things as much as SA likes to think. You, SA, don't like a lot of the things that make A&M & A&M, so you have convinced yourself that its going away, or it isn't energetic enough. I wonder why people like you would ever want to go to A&M. If you don't like the things that are done there, then go to school somewhere else. Kind of like when you first joined AFs. Instead of coming in & trying to change everything (that worked out real well, BTW), either accept things for the way they are & stay, or realize that isn't what you like & leave.

[Superaggie79]

Things have changed immensely in the past 4 years. I love A&M they had me hooked when I was here for a couple of hours. I'm not necessarily speaking from my perspective it's from what others probably view. Basically like a reporter just viewing and reporting the effects and changes.

[Superaggie79]

BTW I spent the last three years in an organization trying to bring the university closer together. It's so tough it's like the university is against you.

I'm a little late on this conversation, but we should in no way want to be like the Hokie stadium. I've got nothing against those folks, but after living in moonshine country for a while, I've seen the games there. Nothing impressive. Not that loud (in part because it's not that big, admittedly) and they actually sing and dance the hokey pokey. Also, their mascot is a castrated turkey. Doesn't have anything to do w/ this topic, but still, that's pretty bad.

[Superaggie79]

None of what you just said has anything to do with a team entrance

[MDaggie09]

alright, well to make you happy SA, i enjoy the walk in. va tech has their own traditions and rituals, and thats what makes them special. we have our traditions, and we take great pride in them. it may not make me want to hit someone, but as soon as we hump it and start yelling, im definitely in the mood... no other school has as many great traditions as texas a&m, and im proud to take part in them, just like my grandfather did, my mom and her siblings, and especially my dad... its something passed on from generation that makes it so special

I have two questions.

1. When did the cadence become a tradition?

2. Since when have we "humped it" during the entrance?

[Mole]

*putting flame suit on*

[MDaggie09]

1. its been here as long as ive been here, but other than that i cant tell you, but it reflects on our tradition as a military school

2. i wasnt talking about the entrance, i was talking about kick-off

[Superaggie79]

I don't remember doing the cadence my Freshman year. And we're talking about team entrance here. Everyone yells at kickoff we just all do it in a different position.

[MDaggie09]

im just saying we dont have to get all pumped up when the team runs on the field... we have a another 5 minutes before the game starts once they come on the field

[Superaggie79]

That's the problem we have that lull then the kickoff then everyone kinda stands around while the teams take the field it's just so blah... we have nothing to get excited/loud about (other than big plays) until the end of the game. The whole game matters and a strong start is the best way to make a statement. When's the last time that happened?

[MDaggie09]

we have struggled in the past couple games starting off... i'll give you that

My God!!! Since when do you need something or a reason to get excited, wave your towel, & yell your freaking head off for an Aggie football game. How about the fact that you are there with 75-80K other Aggies for one purpose--to be the 12th Man. People today are so needy. We have to have this to get excited...wha, wha, wha....quit bitching & start yelling.

This university has always had its share of those who, instead of embracing our traditions, look over the fence and envy how the “other” schools do it. “Why can’t it be like this… why can we be like that.” There are numerous campuses one go to and experience the general generic colligate atmosphere. I will never understand why these people don’t just attend one of these “normal” schools. But they don’t, they come here and complain. We call them 2%’s To them we have always said, and I will always continue to say: Highway 6 runs both ways.

I am proud of Texas A&M. I am proud to be an Aggie. I believe that the things that make us different are the things that make us special. I can appreciate the value in the way other places do things; clearly those places think that their way is the best. In turn, I think our way is the best. Have you not noticed that for all their fireworks and acrobatics (and twirlers in the band) that their school spirit seems to be dictated by the win/loss column? I am a Fightin’ Texas Aggie. I am proud of our uniqueness and embrace our traditions. The pride I have in my school has very little to do with the success of its athletic teams.

And by the way, didn’t anyone else find that Hokie entrance to be… well… hokie?

You don't think that ours has?

[hmiles619]

not to that extent....we still have 80,000 people showing up to games. About half of our student body attends every game. Miami is losing and they have 29k. Big difference. I think we all still have school spirit, we're just not happy with this team (coach)

[Dustin00whoop]

You don't think that ours has?

I think he is saying that even with all that other crap, the wins/losses still matter the most. Like I told you before, winning cures all. We don't have to go change all this crap that you speak of to get people more excited for Aggie football. We just need to win more football games.

[Superaggie79]

What if I told you (and I can't) that a new upbeat entrance would get our players pumped we'd have a quicker start that would result in 2 more wins on average per year? Again I know this is hypothetical I'm just saying. Also didn't our players say they loved playing at Southern Miss or some little school because the pregame was "crunk"?

[Dustin00whoop]

Also didn't our players say they loved playing at Southern Miss or some little school because the pregame was "crunk"?

No, Japhus said that once they get out on the field (no mention of any specific staduium) that it was all about getting "crunk." That was on a media day from a couple years ago.

As far as you hypothetical situation goes, I'll say this. If it takes a new entrance to get our team pumped & ready to go, then I have to question the heart of that team. If you can't get pumped up on your own to play big-time D-1 football without some stupid ass fireworks & some Metallica, then you need to have your pulse checked.

I honestly think the whole metallica thing is overplayed anyway. Just like the old Chicago Bulls entrance of the 90's become overplayed when every other nba team starting doing it as well.

Superaggie, you're statement regarding the corps being an annoyance makes Boozinb look like a rocket scientist. Without the corps you'd have no Aggie band, instead you'd have some silly marching band like t.u. There would not be the wonderful traditions that are for the most part organized and participated by the corps. Remember one day when your name is called out at Silver Taps, which i'd bet a $1 you've never attended, there will be 21 cadets firing off a volly in rememberance of you. Our uniqueness(sp) is what makes our school great. The corp is the most identifiable thing regarding TAMU.

Now regarding vision 20/20, I fear it is a major mistake. The vision 20/20 agenda is to turn TAMU into another Berkley or Harvard. Now I don't know about you, but Berkley is a university that has nothing but communist/liberal nutjobs as professors and administators.

#1. Yes, of course we would see school spirit, pride, whatever, increase if the percentage of wins were higher. I’m not denying that. If the Aggies won the national championship this year, I doubt that we would be anymore excited, filled up with pride, spirit, etc., about our team than the sips were this last year. What I am suggesting is that during the dark times, we Aggies, man per man, carry more pride and spirit than anybody. This is not because our DNA is somehow different than people who chose to go to other schools. It is because of the unique culture that is the Spirit of Aggieland. You know this in your heart to be true. Give me the 12th Man and I’ll take the Pepsi challenge with anybody.

You are now probably wondering “what does this have to do with the team entrance?” The team entrance or any other “gameday atmosphere” kind of participation is a direct reflection of the traditions, mores, and culture of the campus. What we do is a reflection of who we are. We are the Aggies. The Aggies are we. We don’t need Metallica and smoke machines to create a more exciting gameday atmosphere. Anybody can do that. We’ve got our own thing going down here, and if you ask around, I’ll bet you find that Kyle Field is considered a pretty cool place to be around on a Saturday afternoon.

#2 I’m no so sure that a given team entrance, if done one way or the other can affect the score on the board at the end of the game. Or even the first couple of series for that matter. Certainly college football is an endeavor that feeds on emotion and that same emotion can affect the outcome. Having said that, I’ll take practicing hard, X’s and O’s, talent, determination, and guts, over 50 Cent and the Rolling Stones personally leading our team on to the field on a battalion of Patton tanks with patriot missiles exploding in the sky with the ghosts of Johnny Cash and John Wayne as honorary captains.

Although that would be pretty cool.

I think another bad thing that the sports writers touched on Monday. Teams enjoy coming to play at Kyle. It's like a present for them and they said most teams would rather play here than pretty much anywhere else in the Big 12... Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

I think it is cool that they want to experience it, but i have seen where players say that no words cand describe the noise and that it was different than expected when playing. Just some generalizations of quotes i have read.

[Superaggie79]

How many of those quotes were from experiences in the past 2 years?

[texags08]

Probably none these are things i have read a while back. I have to say we have dopped off as far as being loud in the last few years.

My boss is a Texas Ex and a die-hard Longhorn. He is always talking about how big that video screen is. After actually seeing it, it doesn't look nearly as good as ours.

I like the fact that ours has a frame around it. That just looks like a screen floating out in the middle of nowhere.
