Why are those jarheads squeezing their balls?
This video captures three separate things that should not, and no longer, occur at the same time.
The first is humping it to yell. This means to bend over at the waist and knees in order to yell louder. It looks silly, yes, and it may be. However, we have been selected by ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and others as one of the best venues or experiences in college football because of the 12th Man. We stand the entire game and yell while on defense.
Here's a short video illustrating a yell. This is with only 2/3 or less of our student section of 30,000 there, because this is about 30 min prior to the game. There are many more on YouTube, but I picked a short and to the point one.
See, we are different from Tech in that we can all do something together. We coordinate on the yells, most everyone participates, and because of that, you can hear us clearly a mile or more away. It's not each of us yelling our own profanity and creating a general rumble. We bend over while standing and create as much noise as possible during a yell.
The second thing you see is the fish (freshman) in this video are standing very close to one another, pole to hole. They are forming a human block around our live mascot, Reveille to protect her. This occurred only during heated games, and because we played trashy teams who like to throw things or storm the field. They made a block around her to make sure nothing hits her or anyone tries to steal her (the old Southwest Conference members have often stolen each others' mascots). Now, if a game is heated, they might take Miss Rev to safety a few minutes before time expires. For no other reason does anyone ever stand this close at a game, at least not front-to-back. We pack in to the student section side to side because of the demand for seating.
The third thing you see is the squeeze. This is something that goes back to our roots as an all male military school, and is one of the silly things they did for fun. If you look back in any old school yearbook to the turn of the century (if your school wasn't dug out of the dirt in 1923), you will see strange things that aren't quite the social norm these days. Squeeze is one of them. At crucial moments during the game, the males would squeeze themselves to feel the pain of the team. Yes, this is stupid, but 99% of the student body does not do this, nor has done this for some time now.
Humping it, on it's own, is rather innocent looking. Forming a block around Miss Rev is also innocent. Squeeze, while goofy, is barely noticeable most of the time it is done. However, these fish in the video did all three together, and so it does look like an all-male gangbang.
Again, I'll own up to it being one of the most embarrassing things produced from a school that has also produced 8 Medal of Honor recipients, generals, presidents, and business leaders. If that's the worst of it, I can live with that. You won't ever see it again, that's for sure. Hope that clarifies what was going on.
And since I know the Tards, I can expect the next comment from them to be about how our yell leaders dress up like milkmen and how we are all gay for having guys and not female cheerleaders on the field. I'll go ahead and respond that us Aggies are smart enough to put the pretty girls not on the field, but in the stands next to us so we can get a kiss from them when Johnny throws yet another touchdown.
