The Texas AM Male Cheer Squad….

[Cock-a-Doo]

This is still really odd to me… I wish I got it and figured by now maybe I would.
It just feels weird and uncomfortable to me.
I don’t even care if there is a guy on the traditional cheer squad, that would be to me like “well, that’s just how things are now”.
I think with this military cheer group though it’s the mix of “hey we’re super masculine but also cheerleaders” that I don’t get.
I’ll probably get roasted for this but just curious what others think of it.

It’s really hard to watch. So glad I’m not an Aggie. It’s so silly. I’m 45 years old and I would disown my son if he was one of these idiots. Go Cocks.

They are part of the Corp of Cadets, and are student elected “yell leaders”. I’m no A&M fan by any means, but it seems a pretty commendable honor to me.

We have had male cheerleaders for as long as I can remember.

Cult..but not a winning cult like Clemmons

A longtime tradition. The cheers and movements are from a time when it was pretty common in some way,shape or form. I think it’s cool that they are keeping some of the traditions in this ever changing world

Uhhh I hate to break it to you guys but SC has male cheerleaders. They do have the enviable Position of being under our SC girls. But they are definitely male.

Hypothetically speaking would you rather cheer at the commands of their male cheerleader or be ringing a cowbell all game long ? And that "sooey" cheer SMH. The West.....geez.

The A&M cheerleaders and fans look like a stadium full of the village people.

Thus the difference

They're called the Yell leaders. And yes they appear super gay.

Anytime I see them I hear The Village People's "Macho Man" song in my head.

Yeah, that's "normal"

Is them "appearing" super gay a problem?

Not sure I understand the issue here.

The dance team and cheerleading squad are two separate groups.

It's only for when they need to hit the high notes.

Yeah. Transgender has come a long way

If you’re goal is to appear super gay then I would say, well done.
I don’t have a problem with it - it just seems like something that would develop when a bunch of dudes are around each other for wayyyyy too long and start blurring the lines a little in order to release their natural desires

Maybe they are just being themselves and aren't trying to be whatever "super" is supposed to mean to everyone else?
