I know this is off Arkansas and BCS topic, but ESPN Page 2 has an article on its visit to Aggieland. Here's a link to the hand signals these guys use. Strange group, those Aggies....

CULT MAYBE???????????????????????????????????

This looks like some kind of all male gay review..............not that I would know.............I mean I don't have a problem with gays..........I mean I do.............no wait I didn't mean that.............you know what I mean..................................Hahahahahahahahahahahah

Some things are better left unknown, this topic is one of them.

They call that "The Pond" Wow I thought that was called a fountain.

Why do all (and I do mean ALL) of the former SWC schools in Texas have these stupid "hand signs"(hook 'em, gig 'em, etc.)? Every one of them uses some idiotic combination of fingers on one hand to somehow inspire their teams. No one else seems to do this. Is it because none of them could count past five?

In this case, it's the gene pool.

The is easily the gayest thing that I have ever seen or heard of.

Aggies are a strange breed, I use to live in Texas.

I have 3 cousins also that went to A&M.

As a former Aggie and a student who graduated from LSU, the football traditions such yell practice, bonfire, and yell leaders do set A&M apart from other universities. When I first went to
College Station over a decade ago, I found the traditions strange myself but quickly adjusted and learned to love it. (It is like loving the quirks that you find in a pet.) After coming to LSU, I experienced the same sense of strangeness at the first few Tiger football games I attended. Now that I am a staunch Tiger fan, I will still root for the Aggies occasionally, especially if they play t.u. (but not too much for their new coach).
