Karma at its finest: Fans react to Texas A&M yell leaders’ comments on Appalachian State
By Ethan Stone

Texas A&M had a rough Saturday afternoon.
The Aggies, ranked No. 6 in the nation, got thoroughly humiliated at Kyle Field by goliath killer Appalachian State. No outright shame in that – the Mountaineers have a good football program and are known for one of the biggest upsets in college football history, beating No. 5 Michigan in 2007.
The Aggies yell leaders tore into the Mountaineers before Saturday’s game. Karma, man.
Social media flamed Texas A&M for this edition of yell practice. Somehow, it makes the Aggies’ loss to Appalachian State even worse.
Heck, they flamed the idea of a ‘yell practice’ in general:
Right! Yell practice is probably the most hillbilly thing to ever experience, so there’s the irony in that.

Yell Practice is very cool. That said, I would watch an internet stream that’s just the facial expressions of non-A&M people watching their first Yell Practice.

There’s so much to unpack in this. I cannot be the only one who is soooo uncomfortable watching this. The pacing, the antics in general, that they have someone over there signing the ridiculous speech. The idea of “Yell practice” in general is pretty strange

And this is a “YELL PRACTICE”???? 💀
I’m embarrassed on behalf of the rest of the SEC

I know every school has boneheads in its fan base, but I am continually amazed at the amount of collective narcissism that oozes from Texas A&M. This yell practice is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen.

A) Yell Practice is weird af and that’s fine.
B) Maybe its time to hire some writers for these Yell stories.— Robert Behrens (@rcb05) September 12, 2022

Do you think app state knows they won since they can’t read the scoreboard?
