I wish we could make our game day a little more like Ohio State's.

What tradition do they have besides winning?

Frankly, I much prefer our traditions over theirs.

Can we trade them the yell boys for their winning culture?

Every major school has rich traditions that they hold dear. We're not unique.

Dotting the "I" is one of the biggest traditions in the sport

You prefer The 12th Man, sawing off, Yell leaders, midnight yell, and others

To winning conference championships and national championships?

Geesh.... They have been winning for pretty much my entire life. I would gladly take that tradition over some of the stupid ones we have.

Unless I misunderstand your intent, this is a classic "would you sell your soul?" question. My guess is most would not but will be interesting to see the responses. I would not. Would you?

So... you win the natty and the next day the Spirit of Aggieland is gone. No more yell leaders, no more FTAB, no more 12th man and all that comes with it, nothing unique remains. We bring down the posts and settle for an eternity of some iteration likened to jumping around to an irish-ish rap bands hit song from the 90's.

Pass...

If I could keep ONE tradition, and experience 2 national titles in my lifetime coupled with 10 conference championships outside the two national titles... id gladly give up the other traditions

This assuming we dont win a national title in our lifetime and one conference title from here on out.

I love our traditions but I want to win

Whatever it takes to get people interested in them the better I suppose. A few more throws onto the court and they'll be able to turn a profit

Don't know what year you graduated, but most of the aspects that make A&M unique and appealing to this of us who are former students from at least 10 years ago or further back are completely gone. It is not the school or experience that many of us remember and cherish.

So since the university itself has decided to remove much of what made it special, and turn it into an aspirational 100,000 student diploma mill, yes, I would be willing to give up on many of the traditions the school has already given up on for just one chance before I die to see us do something more than win a dying conference 30 years ago.

There is a Nuno article on here about how 2012 was a 'once in a generation' type of thing. Sure, that was a fun year, Manziel was amazing, Heisman, all that was great. But ultimately all we did was get to double digit wins and finish 3rd in our division. The only time getting to double digit wins since 1998. Sorry if I don't consider that once in a generation aspirations. I expect championships of some kind. All else just falls to the ho-hum pile.

I got my MBA from SMU. They were skewered and left for dead a few decades ago. The laughing stock of the entire sport. And even they have managed to accomplish more than we have, and they had to dig themselves back out of the ashes.

We are very unique due to the many military traditions. Things that only military schools have had and they are few.
Muster being the greatest of all.

What has made TAM great has not evolved around a 1939 Natty.
It's great because of what it stands for and its tradition.
There is a lot more to a school than its football record.

Muster is not a military tradition.

I have a feeling there is an overpriced chicken wrap in the future for buckeye fans.

I kind of thought all the other traditions were there to distract from our institutional lack of winning.

When you win all the time, no real need to create a random tradition to convince anyone of your prowess, you just do it on the field

Might want to check the history of "muster". Musters are deep rooted in military tradition. The first muster in America was in the mid 1600's.
Aggie Muster is dated all the way back to the late 1800's with the first official Muster in 1903. We were, of course, solely a military institution at that time.
To say Aggie Muster was not borne of that military tradition is being obtuse.
Aggie Muster today is certainly no longer a pure military tradition ever since being in the Corps became non compulsory, but it is still our greatest tradition….and unique to Texas A&M.

A military muster is not a tradition. It's just a roll call or assembly. A&M changed it to an annual roll call for those who died the preceding year. The military has no analogous ceremony /tradition. The fact that A&M created it while it was a military school doesn't make Aggie Muster any more military than humping it or hissing.

This thread got fun.

We kinda are tough - we have a wonderful tradition of 8-4 and letting tu live rent free in our heads 23.5 hours out of every day. Nobody else can say that!

Yeah, winning is really overrated. It's disgusting even!

Our traditions and prowess and reputation as an institution since our founding in 1876 has been carried on the backs of Aggies who sacrificed their lives and served our country with courage, honor, and integrity in multi theaters of battle.
In addition to that Aggies have built a reputation of leadership and integrity, honesty and dedication, along with a tremendous work ethic over many decades in the private business sectors and industries, etc that Aggies today can benefit from.
I never looked at a resume of someone I was going to employ and made a decision to hire them based on how many games their college football team had won.
Everybody wants their team to win of course for pride and bragging rights. But at the end of the day it's but a small part of life.
As General Patton said " All Glory is Fleeting".

I'd sure like to find out what it's like to have that football record be one that has championships though. That'd be neat-o.

Whatever you say sir.
