The Aggies have yell leaders and they are elected by the student body. Before every home game, they have midnight yell practice and this year, before the Alabama game, it was reported over 50,000 people attended midnight yell practice. Texas A&M is a university that treasures traditions and the yell leader tradition is over 100 years old. FYI, During WWII, Texas A&M commissioned more officers than any other university including the service academies.
