Nicely done. It would have been nice to have included our historic fabric of the Corps of Cadets, Medal of Honor recipients and military service. Quite little over baked with football, unless this is intended as a football recruiting piece- from the look and feel of it, presumably it is.
i went to another sec school and ive got to know aggies over the past decade or so, a lot of of them are easy going good people. the annoying ones seem to have problems in their life

The song "Power" (@Texas A&M Univ.) is played as the football team entrance piece just prior to kick-off for the AGGIES at Kyle Field. Some are claiming.."yeah, it's racially slurred and profane, but we don't sing the lyrics"- "It's just an instrumental". Others, "We play the clean version"....do what? If not for those horrendous lyrics, this song never would have existed. I suppose a posted/announced disclaimer at Kyle Field is in order? It's saddening and confusing the lengths some people will take to try and justify the existence of something that reflects so poorly on TX A&M. One of the chief obstacles to progressive change here is the fact that so few Aggies are even aware of the lyrics. That will change. What if the song contained lyrics promoting cop killing? Or encouraged the resumption of slavery? Or the abuse of children? The dissemination of AR15's? Would an "instrumental version" remain acceptable and appropriate knowing full well what those lyrics are? Are there any lines that can't be crossed today? Based on the former OU coach who recently resigned and the backlash created by the spectator at a BYU volleyball game, the data suggests there are. Musician Morgan Wallen was barred from the ACM award function just last year for using a racial slur. Recognize, trust and believe the data. Some things are just not acceptable. Others have suggested it's OK for a person of color to use these shameful and hurtful slurs and others can't...is this not racist in itself? Think long and hard about that one. That's a confusing and dangerous road to take. It's not OK. Learning to respect yourself might make respecting others an easier choice. I wonder what Dr. King's thoughts would be on this notion? Regardless, the extreme profanity with MF-bombs, references to sexual acts and organs in the song's lyrics should make the decision an easy one. Yeah, it's chocked full of beneficial goodness. The selection of such a crude song is very perplexing. At best. It's tradition now, but does that make it any less toxic and inappropriate? Google the lyrics...you'll be shocked. A state supported institution no less... One that prides itself on producing leaders.. Are $$$ and wins the priority here over common decency? Perhaps there wasn't an over-riding scheme/intent behind the decision maker's selection. If there was, the selection of this song in particular is somewhat distressing. Regardless of its popularity. We are better than this. \Our core values.....are some departments exempt perhaps? The AGGIE CODE of HONOR: "Is an effort to unify the aims of all Texas A&M men and women toward a high code of ethics and personal dignity ". Do we have a somewhat disturbing disconnect here? Are you a parent? Need to walk the talk IMO. Would there be any negative consequences if another song, lyrically devoid of racial slurs and profanity was chosen as a replacement? A&M has an optimal opportunity here at becoming part of the answer, not the problem. Our team and fans deserve better. Gigem
lyrics of the part of the song actually played: I'm living in that 21st century Doing something mean to it Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it I guess every superhero need his theme music No one man should have all that power The clock's ticking, I just count the hours Stop tripping, I'm tripping off the power (21st-century schizoid man) the songs ban had nothing to do with its lyrics, in fact there isn't a single slur or sexual reference in the part thats played lol, and its clear you haven't been to a single football game since it started being used because if you did you'd know that. it had everything to do with kanye wests pro hitler and anti-semitic statements that went viral. Nothing about the song is bad, everything about the man who made it is now bad.
also its literally just a song, and the fact that you'd get that worked up over it when most rap music is full of the stuff you don't like then my assumption would be that you just hate rap music and modern black culture. sorry its too raw for you but it is what it is, and the fact is the reason that power was chosen was just as much for the players as it was for the fans. Most kids talk just like how kanye talks in the song, and ultimately song lyrics are just words. They might be more direct and lack innuendos that songs you heard growing up had, but they talk about the same stuff.
Gonna be a bounce back year

Not anymore, Saw varsities horns off. Go Aggies

lyrics of the part of the song actually played:
I'm living in that 21st century
Doing something mean to it
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it
Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it
I guess every superhero need his theme music
No one man should have all that power
The clock's ticking, I just count the hours
Stop tripping, I'm tripping off the power
(21st-century schizoid man)
the songs ban had nothing to do with its lyrics, in fact there isn't a single slur or sexual reference in the part thats played lol, and its clear you haven't been to a single football game since it started being used because if you did you'd know that. it had everything to do with kanye wests pro hitler and anti-semitic statements that went viral.
