My family and I just walked to Kyle Field for the midnight yell, there are more people here for the yell than we have for game day. There are about 30 thousand people here right now, it is crazy fun and great to see. Taking it all in!! I have tons of pics I put on facebook and videos you can find me at Rachel Schlachter-Stehlik if you want to see them. I will post pics and videos of the yell later.

Saw your videos on Facebook and sent you an email explaining the first one you posted, but it went to your "Other" mailbox which I didn't even know existed.
It is tradition that the yell leaders tell really terrible jokes, smack talk and insult the opponent at yell practice. It is meant to fire up the crowd, but really the jokes are typically really corny, the smack talk is painful because we don't typically do that as a fan base, and the insults sometimes go over the edge (comments about Paterno and coffins come to mind). You just have to let all of that go and enjoy the experience. Those guys are fairly inebriated college boys who have about 20k girls chasing them so they don't really think straight. :-)
Just some other general information. A&M will seat around 30k students. They mostly take up the spots that are used for midnight yell, with the exception of the first 25 rows from the 20yd line to the 20 yd line on the lower deck. SEC forbids schools from placing students in those seats. So other than those seats, the 30k students will take up the rest of those 3 decks. No other school seats more students, and very few give their students prime real estate in the stadium.
Hope you enjoy the gameday tomorrow!
Safe travels back home for all the Ball State fans.

The comments at the yell didnt bother me in fact I thought it was kind of funny my husband was laughing also. I posted it for Jalen to see in hopes it would make him and the team mad and get them fired up even more for the game. The student section is unreal!! So far eveyone has been super nice amd welcoming we have been invited to tailgate parties also. I just hope our seats are not in the 3rd balcony!

Reports coming out that 45k showed up for Midnight Yell, so that atmosphere should be electric today. Let us know what you think of the new stadium after the game.
