nahh. Just some of us were at a 10am (or 11am?) game at College Station a few years ago...sunburn, hot, lots of cannon blasts....etc.
That, and then every spring they recognize the outgoing HS seniors at church. Never fails, there are 30-40 of them up front, and they say their name and where they're going to school. Of course, it's in CHURCH...so everyone is quiet and pious etc...except for when it's announced that one is going to aTm...at which time 7-10 people in the congregation let loose with their 'whoop'.

Ugh.
As annoying as when they all 'whoop' at weddings too.
Sorry Stallion, I've been in Virginia too long and only think of VMI -Rats and Navy - Plebes or Guppies. Of course, those are real military schools. There is of course Virginia Tech which has a corps like A&M, but the school's culture left them behind 30 years ago.
whooping in church is completely acceptable
whooping at wedding is acceptable as long as either the bride or groom is an aggie
whooping at funerals is more than likely frowned upon
whooping at an aggie sporting event is probably encouraging false hope
