Currently a senior in the Aggie band, I appreciate this point of view of the game. I’m glad y’all came and I hope y’all had a good time 👍🏽 love y’all and your band too
A bunch of wholesome band kids, supporting their team, staying classy, having fun (except for the end result) and making great memories. It was great getting the visiting band's perspective. Nice work everyone ! Your parents will be proud.
As an old army current Aggie (once an Aggie, Always an Aggie), I salute you young man, for upholding the respect and character of the old Aggie ways. Thank you.
It’s always a challenge to keep the “2%” from being inhospitable and bringing shame to the rest of us. We really do pride ourselves on being a welcoming place for visitors. There’s no excuse for that behavior.
I am a 4th generation Ag - I humbly apologize for the disrespect, that is quite embarrassing to hear! Again, apologies!!! Hope you were able to salvage some good memories in spite of the ill-mannered few
I second that - all the Bama fans we bumped into after the game were super friendly. Both after this win and in losses in years past. Easily the two classiest schools in the SEC, and therefore the country.
Thank you for capturing the game from a visitors perspective! As a class of '19 Former Student I love seeing these types of videos. The audio and video was so clear. Hope you had a great visit in Aggieland, good luck the rest of the year!
I'm an Aggie grad, and I really enjoyed your video; great work on putting it together and showing us a side of college football we don't always get to see. I apologize for the poorly behaved Aggies who disrespected you and the Bama band. There's no excuse for that, and I hope that you know that the vast majority of Aggies have deep respect for the Alabama football program and the hard work put in by your band, as well. Thank you for coming to Aggieland and being our guests. Gig 'em and Roll Tide.
I loved watching the video from your perspective. You are obviously a bunch of genuine individuals who love your school and being in the band. Hopefully your future travels bring you back to Aggieland for more great SEC football! Take in your last several months as students and God Bless!
I’m glad the MDB was able to travel to Aggieland! I love it when the visitor bands come to the game; it creates a more competitive atmosphere! I also enjoyed how Big Al was vibing the opening cadence from the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band drum line as our team entered the field. I’m sorry to hear some of our fans were rude to y’all, i can assure inside/outside the stadium we’re nothing but the nicest to our guests. Best of luck on the rest of the season! Thanks and Gig ‘em!
Love the vlog! Very well done. I love the adventurous spirit from the Bama band (41:01) that is trying to coax his friends down to storm the field! 😂😂 “Why Not?”, he says! Hilarious. He was there for a good time. Gotta love it!
That was a great video. I’m an Aggie, but the smile I had on my face throughout most of the video was from enjoying watching you and your band mates (y’all are great!), and just the overall environment. Thanks for posting!
All, Must confess upfront, I'm an old Ag, '74 in the Corp, biased for my Ags. Loved your viewpoint of the game! You apparently encountered some rude folks there. That is not the Aggie way! I would like to have their name and number, track them down and teach them some manners out back of the barn! If you haven't seen them, you must see Coach Saban and Coach Fisher postgame interviews. Nothing but class from both of those gentleman, high respect for both! There's more but gotta run. Ya'll be well and safe, I would say Gig'Em, but we all know somebody got gigged on Saturday.
im from south Texas - and our Motto in Texas is The Friendly State. Thank you for your Vlog and your experience at Kyle field - next maybe ya'll like they say in Texas - come and visit our campus. Nobody likes to lose - but like they say, win or lose - its the memories you will treasure - forever. Better luck next year. Gigem Aggies.
As for that non-reg at the end I would have reserved that for t-sips. Alabama, wait till this weekend. t-sips are the lowest form of life. The SEC screwed up when they took in the t-sips
Looks like y'all enjoyed most of the trip based on the parts you showed, other than the outcome of the game. Which is what I want every time a visitor comes to Aggieland! But the most important part of the video for me- loved the clarity of the Spirit of Aggieland. I tend to play the Spirit of Aggieland and the Aggie War Hymn videos on UA-cam frequently (probably more so than is healthy) and am always listening to new uploads to find the most clear and true to life audio clips. This is by far the best I can ever remember hearing, and I guess the location and quality camera you used were perfect. I'll probably pull this video up to around the 15 minute mark hundreds of times in my life. Thank you for that.
I’ve heard so much about how much of an auditory experience Texas A&M is so I made sure to bring my travel microphone with me so I could record it all. It was a fantastic experience and I’m so glad you have a new favorite recording to reference to. I hope that I captured the full in-stadium experience as genuinely as possible.
Thanks for sharing the game from the band's perspective, and the kind words about A&M and the corps. From someone who couldn't attend the game, I really appreciated seeing the crowd reactions and the emotional ups and downs. Appreciate the professional demeanor of the video. You guys have a great seats. Let's hope the Ags can stay competitive against the perennial #1 ranked Alabama in years to come! s/ member of Aggie Class of 1983.
Aggie Band Class of '96 here with a Senior in the Appalachian State Marching Mountaineers. Excellent vblog! Well done! I love the humor of band members, no matter what school. Thank you for giving me such a great experience of a modern (and rival) perspective of the field and school that I know and love. I humbly apologize for the few bad apples, and wish you success in your school and band endeavors at Alabama.
That was a great vid. I was at the game, and it was a great victory for us. I told my brother, Bama will learn from this and they will be fine. I love the reactions after every score, your friends are very funny especially the blonde that was sitting next to you, she was very cute. I hope you had a great time, i am sorry for the fans that were rude, unfortunately we cannot escape them. Have a great rest of the season, and keep hammering down.
Bama has “curb stomp” the Aggies last several years, I see how people would lost their minds😆 That stadium sounded loud through my iPad. I’m glad we got you guys this year, hopefully A&M can stay competitive in the years to come. Thank you for the upload:)
Ran across this video by mere chance.... thank you so much for sharing it. Apologies for the crass comments of some of my fellow Aggies. I do play-by-play of A&M games for Spanish radio and I remember mentioning to my on-air partner that the 'Bama band was still in the stands way after the game... little did I know you were still rolling tape. I'm looking forward to going to Tuscaloosa next year - thank you for capturing gameday at Kyle Field - hope you and your fellow vloggers enjoyed it over all. Gig 'em / Roll Tide Roll - SEC!
Much respect! Aggie class of 2006, I was in the stands to your front right in section 239!!! Great game, and again great respect to yalls program. Met a ton of great bama fans that night!
“Losses are more historic than victories.” Love the deep quote and very interesting pov from the band side of things. Glad y’all came over and hope y’all enjoyed a little bit of Texas.
Howdy from South Texas. I enjoyed your video, it was fun to watch. You Alabama Folks are a real Classy bunch. Best of luck with the remainder of your season. Gig'em
Just came across this video and, in the spirit of getting amped for college ball kick-off in a few weeks… I’m going to share this with my local A&M Club (Ozark A&M Club in NW Arkansas)! Aggies usually do a pretty good job of setting straight the 2-%ers like the ones who were rude to you. I hope someone had a chat with them. But mostly I’m here to say that this was such a great video. Growing up in an Aggie family, I’ve never experienced a ATM game from this perspective and it was fun! I’m even more proud to be a Fightin’ Texas Aggie Class of ‘88, and I hope you can come back for a game after you graduate and experience Aggieland that way, too. Alabama isn’t all that far from me, and getting to a game at BDS is on my list! I can’t wait!
Can I say. I’m an Aggie class of 2001 and I love your content. The Florida game was fun too. Looking forward to seeing the Mississippi state vlog. I loved seeing real people behind the Alabama machine. You guys are amazing. Love college football. Thanks for showing us your perspective. Cheers.
I loved this perspective. I am sorry about those crass idiots who gave you all a hard time. That is not the Aggie Way. You all win so much and you are such a fine team. That's what makes this win for us so special. You have my respect. The band is awesome too. Melos Rock! I may have to start following these VLOGs ;-)
Great video. Thanks for uploading. Incredible atmosphere and game. The ending!! Classic. I keep watching to find the different characters running onto field. Good luck rest of season. Gigem Aggies.
I enjoyed watching this from the Bama perspective. You guys gotta lot of class. And helluva game yall got to experience. I need to get my butt back to Kyle Field. Miss that vibe.
Love your vlog. I'm an Aggie and am so glad you made the trip; really like to see your band here. You seem like really great kids, very classy, and I enjoyed watching your trip and observations of Aggieland. The souvenir cups part was hilarious (and true) and loved your ranking the stadium. I apologize for the rudeness you encountered. We do not like anyone treating our visitors with disrespect. Thanks for your video and your compliments to the Cadets, the atmosphere and the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band. See you next year! Roll Tide! And Gig 'Em!
I'm an Aggie c/o 07', and this was a great VLOG. Glad you enjoyed the trip and thanks for putting this together. It was interesting to watch from your perspective.
A&M Fan here, great vlog. Interesting to see the Bama band perspective. Shout out to the girl that knew we were preseason #6. Girl clearly knows her CFB. Bama band has some good songs and great people from what I can tell.
OG Aggie here. I really enjoyed this video! You and your bandmates were all class, just as expected from Bama. Apologize for any disrespectful fans you encountered. Thanks for sharing. Gig’em!
I found your channel when I was looking for A&M/Bama game highlights. I'm a former student (that's what Aggies call themselves when they graduate) a FEW years out *cough* class of '93 *cough*. Anyway your vlog was amazing!! Of course I loved it b/c of the outcome of the game (and trust me - when you guys were predicting the score I thought you were being too kind, I was a bit worried about a shutout - your football team is amazing - an unexpected win down to the wire is seriously the best kind ever) which was such an amazing surprise, but more so b/c of the perspective you all had. It almost FELT like I was there with you guys. I can't believe how CLEARLY you could hear our yells, the band, our war hymn and the crowd and noise! I do hate to hear that you had a few less than ideal run-in's with some of our fans, but as you said every team has a few that take it to far. I'm sorry you guys had to experience that. BTW, your friend's face when we fired our cannon had me dying! I haven't gone any further into your vlogs but hope to see you do Auburn and LSU also. Auburn b/c I think it would be neat to see your special viewpoint against your in-state rival and LSU b/c they can just be downright intense!! Going back to watch old vlogs now :)
Thank you so much for this! It brings back memories of band trips during my years. Sadly, those were back in the Big12 days. I also hate to hear that y'all ran into some bad apples wearing maroon. Hospitality is no small thing. Again, thanks for a great video, and for allowing me to see my second home through another's eyes.
So much of why we decided to start making these is not only for ourselves, but for other fans to see inside of the “real” game day experience is like, and Kyle Field was one that I believe every fan needs to experience. I’m also glad that it brings back great memories. I’m dreading the end of this season because it will mean that my time in the Million Dollar Band is up, so I’m trying to soak in every moment. As for the Aggie fans we had issues with, I said it to my family and anybody else who has asked. 90% of Aggies were so incredibly nice, the other 10% were drunk. They decided to put us next to the student section, which even in the nicest venues, isn’t a fantastic idea.
@@HammeringDown my 4 years in the Aggie Band were some of the best of my life. That last year is indeed bittersweet. The loss was mostly humbling because you've enjoyed a consistent dynasty of winning unlike college football has ever seen. That's something to really enjoy. And remember... Bama has won for championships with 1 loss on the season. All is definitely not lost! Good luck going forward
@@HammeringDown I remember my last home game experience on the field marching with the Aggie Band (class of '96) like it was yesterday, and I am celebrating my 25th year reunion this year! Drink in every second of that last home game drill, you will be talking about it for the rest of your life! God Bless!
Hey you helped me and my girlfriend off the field after that game. You had a good comment that you were used to seeing the field get stormed, and it made us laugh. Thanks for the good showing, it was a hell of a game.
That was a fantastic video. Thank you for posting. I can tell you, Most Aggies would not treat y’all bad. Apologies for the 10%. And from the 90% true Ags, great game!
That was a helluva game played there. I honestly watched most of this video just to find myself in the video. (I was one of the yellow shirt guys. I was the one holding the rope for Bama as they came out of the tunnel closest to y'all, typically standing behind the cheerleaders, on the right side of the camera.) I did not believe the Aggies would win until I saw the final field goal going through the uprights! Glad y'all had a good time there at the game, and sorry for the few rude fans we had. There's always a few, and they tend to stand out the most. I see a few at every game for the visiting team as well. At least we're not LSU! Those fans are the worst. Thanks and Gig 'Em!
As class of ‘02 from A&M, thanks for sharing this! Sorry about the 20%, but glad you encountered mostly good connections in Aggieland. Lots of respect for your program.
Just came across this 5 months later. Interesting to see it from your perspective. As an old Ag (Class of 1965) I actually enjoy watching most of Alabama games. We do recognize quality. We do get along with most of the SEC schools, with the exception of the one in Louisiana. I would like to point out one thing about the storming of the field. I'm not sure if it ever happened before we joined the SEC, but it has happened twice. It happened three times last year in the SEC. Kyle Field did not have the goal posts come down, nor did they come down in 2018 when the field was stormed after the LSU game. Some may wonder why since that is the normal thing at other locations. It's actually very simple. We have respect for Kyle Field and that would be a display of disrespect. From what I have seen in other videos, when the Aggies come to Bryant-Denny, we get treated fairly well and I hope other than the score, you all had a good visit.
As an old Ag (‘91) and an Aggie band parent, I’d like to say that the Bama fans we encountered were absolutely classy and personable. I apologize for any 2% ers who treated y'all poorly/rudely...that is not what Aggieland is about! Great job representing your University with class and grace!
Back in 2013, as an A&M student at the time, after the game against Bama I sat on a bus with none other than Bama Center Chance Warmack’s parents. They said that A&M “was the best atmosphere they’d ever been too and were glad we were in the conference.” I’ll never forget that. We lost but the Bama fans were class acts the whole time.
100% the souvenir Cups are very small but it’s mainly to cut back on plastic used because now you can fill them up whenever you want to there are so to stand still at the stadium also you can buy one of the 12 Man tumblers that you can bring back to the stadium and use that as a cup all season. Hope you and your band enjoyed Kyle Field can’t wait to have y’all in two years!
We eventually figured that out, but most of us try to avoid soft drinks when at games and all the machines only sold soda, unfortunately. I absolutely appreciate that it was refillable, though. For every other person in the stadium besides the away band people, it’s absolutely an amazing deal.
Howdy! Current students here at A&M. I just want to say I'm glad y'all had a great time! Y'all talked about the rude aggies you met. I am so sorry for those people. We aggies do not represent that type of culture. One that puts down other fans after a loss. We understand the pain. Therefore it is out of kindness we say "Good game." Y'all had a rough time this game but y'all will curb stomp the missippi state bulldogs! Thanks for coming to Aggieland! Gig'em!
Aggie here, Really enjoyed watching this. good videoing despite having to still play instrument. Glad yall didn’t get trampled. When I was on the field I wish I had come say hi, yall seem to be a stand up group. i wish the best of luck to bama for the rest of the season. Glad yall came to see us
I loved seeing your perspective of the game day experience. Thank you for sharing. You and your friends are very classy, as I expect ALL of our fans to be....sorry for the 2%. Comment on the souvenir cup...they are smaller this year because unlimited refills are allowed at the self serve refill stations all over the stadium this year. I truly hope you left with a lasting impression of an enjoyable stadium experience....except of course for the final score.
You guys were great sports and I apologize for the Ags that represented us poorly. Definitely appreciate you showcasing the venue and yells from the visitor perspective and though I probably wouldn't have seen this if we weren't fortunate enough to upset a Bama powerhouse this night, I have subscribed and look forward to seeing from your perspective in some other stadiums that I haven't had the opportunity to visit! Thanks and gig'em!
Really enjoyed the video. Video quality, sound, and editing were great! It was interesting to see Kyle Field from the visitors perspective. I apologize for the morons who were rude. They DO NOT represent A&M! Although y’all lost, I’ve never heard Kyle Field that loud, so I’m glad y’all were able to see and experience the 12th Man at its best. Like the girl said in your video, y’all win so much you get spoiled. I’d love to have that problem. That said, Saban will fix things and y’all will run the table, beat Georgia, and win another National Championship! I’ll definitely be pulling for y’all the rest of the year! Does the SEC have a rule that states the visiting team can only take their full band to a certain number of games? Last thing, you just got a new subscriber! Looking forward to more videos! Gig ‘em and Roll Tide!
So, the thing with the band size is that we only take a full band to Auburn and Tennessee away games. This is because of safety reasons (we’ve had some serious issues in the past at other venues) and financially it’s difficult to move 400+ people. As for the Aggie fans. So many were beyond nice. Many of which would apologize in the moment for the bad one’s behavior. They were drunk and excited and it was to be expected, to be honest.
@@HammeringDown Great video. I'm disappointed that there were drunk, obnoxious people at the game. It used to be that they didn't sell alcohol in the stadium and most tailgates were pretty restrained. That south end zone has more people who are not associated with A&M who get tickets through brokers. I'd like to hope that the people being obnoxious were not Aggies but hard to know. Enjoyed seeing the game from your perspective and meeting your bandmates. I remember flying back from a Cotton Bowl maybe thirty years ago next to a kid from The Notre Dame band. I find band kids are usually pretty nice. Good luck with rest of your season!
@@HammeringDown Maybe y’all can trade Tennessee for A&M in the future since clearly safety isn’t exactly guaranteed there now. It’s sadly very rare now that we get to see a visiting band march. That’s one thing I miss from the Big 12 and all the in-state opponents.
@@davidlamb12345 safety can be a real issue, yes. LSU can be pretty rough with things thrown and whatnot. Tennessee fans have actively attempted to flip our busses as were parking to go into Neyland my freshman year. I have personally never been to a venue besides Mississippi State where some object or drink wasn’t thrown at or on the band.
Thanks for the video. Love seeing Kyle field thru the eyes of a visitor. Sorry for the rude behavior. They are the exception as you noted you have them, too. Best of luck of you for the rest of the year.
Just saw the end and yall mentioned people were rude. There are bad apples everywhere, I hope for the most part you had a good time in College Station. Appreciate the video man. Really cool to watch from your perspective.
ditto everything said above. You and your friends are a class act- makes you proud to be an American- and a Southerner! Oh, and that Basket song was awesome- i even liked the hand movements. More info on that, please! And lastly, as long as we keep winning, can you please drop one more game so we see Atlanta? ;)
Very interesting perspective on the game. Interesting to see it from the other side's point of view. I used to have season tickets on the third deck in the south end zone. Live overseas now and gave them up a few years ago. I think Kyle Field has as good of a game day experience as there is in college football. You kind of alluded to some Aggies being impolite to you. It distresses me to hear that. I think that hospitality to campus visitors was always a point of pride with Aggies. I hope that doesn't change.
Sorry for the idiots that did not treat you as guest and with respect!! In Aggieland we pride ourselves on treating the visiting fans with respect, win or lose……the fact that only 80% of fans were nice to you is very disappointing to this old Ag!!! I hope you enjoyed the trip (minus the score and the rushing of the field). We used to not rush the field but apparently some things change….and not for the better! Gig’em and Roll Tied 👍🏻
Seeing this Vlog made me wish Mississippi State could send us in the Famous Maroon Band to farther away games. Would absolutely love to travel there with the FMB in a pep band, even being a sousaphone player and having to deal with chaos that is away games for us. That said, I don’t think the athletic department has the money for it’s because the longest away games we go to are Kentucky and Georgia I think. Or something like that, don’t entirely know, only been on an away game to Auburn in 2019 and I get to go to Auburn *again* this year for my away game. Ah well, great perspective! Love seeing this from the MDB point of view! Maybe someday in the future the FMB can travel to College Station. Either way, great video!
I just came actoss your video. My brother is class of 08 AM. It is interesting hearin other SEC students think of Kyle field. The audio is normally hard to capture unless your there great job.
Class video. It was a great game. There are a few idiots in every crowd. I cannot say I have never been “that guy”. Apologies for that. Best of luck. Stay safe. Ol’ Ag, Class of ‘97
You guys will be fine. One loss is a great season for most but when you win as much as Alabama does one loss isn’t the best of seasons. Remember most Alabama national championships have came in years they’ve lost a game. I’m a fan of neither of these schools but the tradition of both schools is amazing. Both schools fill 100,000 plus seats every home game.
Kyle Field is a different animal. It’s not the loudest stadium I’ve been to, if we’re talking pure decibles. If you go back to our Florida vlog, I had to do a lot of editing because the noise was so loud that it ruined the clips. Auburn is also a really loud place to play, but I don’t have a vlog on that yet. All that said, Texas A&M was different. At the other stadiums I’ve been to, it’s all white noise. It gets loud and deafening at times, but being able to hear and understand at all times what is being said and chanted was more distracting and disorienting than any other college football game I’ve been to. It’s very much like a major soccer match vibe, and from the rest of my channel, that’s one of the biggest complements I can give. Knowing that an entire stadium is not only unified in fandom but also in voice and chant is intimidating to say the least.
@@HammeringDown please send an email to the idiots at A&M that want to water down the unique experience of “yells”, the band, etc……with more pumped in music created by our “DJ” 🙄🤦🏻♂️
@@svgitana2499 I’ll be honest, the DJ was weird. Lots of strange music choices and cuts in weird places. Had a lot more fun listening to the chants (yells?) and band.
@@HammeringDown completely agree!!!! I love listening to our band and the other teams band, along with our yells and the other teams fans and reactions! That’s what college football is all about…….not piped in music, flames, etc…….😖
Growing up in College Stationwatching the TAMU Fighting Texas AGGIE Band play every home game is why I went into band myself and was in a Drum Corps for a little bit till me moved to Germany and no such thing there so joined a jazz band. Loved seeing another band's perspective of the game and the TAMU Band. Great job on filming this.
Thanks for coming abs hope you had a great time in Aggieland. We pride ourselves on our campus and howdy hospitality. I apologize for whatever negative fan experience you alluded to. Gig Em!
My prediction was 41-14. Glad I was so wrong! Great video, guys. I especially appreciate you shushing others and singing the National Anthem! Those commies from Austin would never do that. I hope you all had a good time in Aggieland despite the game. See you in a couple years! Gig Em
Good morning! First I want to say that as an Aggie I always enjoy watching and hearing the million dollar band. Other than the Aggie band, definitely my favorite! Second. For the few idiots who were rude and used offensive, vulgar, and foul language; I am sorry. That is not the Aggie way.
Currently a senior in the Aggie band, I appreciate this point of view of the game. I’m glad y’all came and I hope y’all had a good time 👍🏽 love y’all and your band too
Artillery or Infantry?
Y’all were absolutely brilliant and it was so much fun listening to y’all! Keep up all the hard work, it doesn’t go unnoticed.
Gigem
A bunch of wholesome band kids, supporting their team, staying classy, having fun (except for the end result) and making great memories. It was great getting the visiting band's perspective. Nice work everyone ! Your parents will be proud.
As a current Aggie, I apologize for an Aggie that was disrespectful to y’all. That isn’t who Aggies are nor is it what we stand for.
As an old army current Aggie (once an Aggie, Always an Aggie), I salute you young man, for upholding the respect and character of the old Aggie ways. Thank you.
It’s always a challenge to keep the “2%” from being inhospitable and bringing shame to the rest of us. We really do pride ourselves on being a welcoming place for visitors.
There’s no excuse for that behavior.
I am a 4th generation Ag - I humbly apologize for the disrespect, that is quite embarrassing to hear! Again, apologies!!! Hope you were able to salvage some good memories in spite of the ill-mannered few
Shut up,it's football! I love this newfound rivalry with Bama! Gigem and Roll Tide!
15:13 I'm still a senior at A&M but for some reason this recording of The Spirit of Aggieland already sounds nostalgic to me.
One reason I love having y'all in town is because you're such a class act. Much better than, say, LSU or t.u. Glad you enjoyed your time!
I second that - all the Bama fans we bumped into after the game were super friendly. Both after this win and in losses in years past. Easily the two classiest schools in the SEC, and therefore the country.
Thank you for capturing the game from a visitors perspective! As a class of '19 Former Student I love seeing these types of videos. The audio and video was so clear. Hope you had a great visit in Aggieland, good luck the rest of the year!
I'm an Aggie grad, and I really enjoyed your video; great work on putting it together and showing us a side of college football we don't always get to see. I apologize for the poorly behaved Aggies who disrespected you and the Bama band. There's no excuse for that, and I hope that you know that the vast majority of Aggies have deep respect for the Alabama football program and the hard work put in by your band, as well. Thank you for coming to Aggieland and being our guests. Gig 'em and Roll Tide.
I loved watching the video from your perspective. You are obviously a bunch of genuine individuals who love your school and being in the band. Hopefully your future travels bring you back to Aggieland for more great SEC football! Take in your last several months as students and God Bless!
I love the audio from the aggies yells you captured. Really conveys how awesome it sounds in person
I’m glad the MDB was able to travel to Aggieland! I love it when the visitor bands come to the game; it creates a more competitive atmosphere! I also enjoyed how Big Al was vibing the opening cadence from the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band drum line as our team entered the field. I’m sorry to hear some of our fans were rude to y’all, i can assure inside/outside the stadium we’re nothing but the nicest to our guests. Best of luck on the rest of the season! Thanks and Gig ‘em!
Love the vlog! Very well done. I love the adventurous spirit from the Bama band (41:01) that is trying to coax his friends down to storm the field! 😂😂
“Why Not?”, he says! Hilarious. He was there for a good time. Gotta love it!
Aggie here... glad to have you all in town! Hope you enjoyed the atmosphere and hospitality! Gig'em!
That was a great video. I’m an Aggie, but the smile I had on my face throughout most of the video was from enjoying watching you and your band mates (y’all are great!), and just the overall environment. Thanks for posting!
All,
Must confess upfront, I'm an old Ag, '74 in the Corp, biased for my Ags.
Loved your viewpoint of the game! You apparently encountered some rude folks there. That is not the Aggie way! I would like to have their name and number, track them down and teach them some manners out back of the barn!
If you haven't seen them, you must see Coach Saban and Coach Fisher postgame interviews. Nothing but class from both of those gentleman, high respect for both! There's more but gotta run.
Ya'll be well and safe, I would say Gig'Em, but we all know somebody got gigged on Saturday.
im from south Texas - and our Motto in Texas is The Friendly State. Thank you for your Vlog and your experience at Kyle field - next maybe ya'll like they say in Texas - come and visit our campus. Nobody likes to lose - but like they say, win or lose - its the memories you will treasure - forever. Better luck next year. Gigem Aggies.
As for that non-reg at the end I would have reserved that for t-sips. Alabama, wait till this weekend. t-sips are the lowest form of life. The SEC screwed up when they took in the t-sips
Looks like y'all enjoyed most of the trip based on the parts you showed, other than the outcome of the game. Which is what I want every time a visitor comes to Aggieland! But the most important part of the video for me- loved the clarity of the Spirit of Aggieland. I tend to play the Spirit of Aggieland and the Aggie War Hymn videos on UA-cam frequently (probably more so than is healthy) and am always listening to new uploads to find the most clear and true to life audio clips. This is by far the best I can ever remember hearing, and I guess the location and quality camera you used were perfect.
I'll probably pull this video up to around the 15 minute mark hundreds of times in my life. Thank you for that.
I’ve heard so much about how much of an auditory experience Texas A&M is so I made sure to bring my travel microphone with me so I could record it all. It was a fantastic experience and I’m so glad you have a new favorite recording to reference to. I hope that I captured the full in-stadium experience as genuinely as possible.
@@HammeringDown you definitely did. Well done! Much appreciated.
Best version I have ever heard. Really captured what it's like at field level. What a great experience.
Thanks for sharing the game from the band's perspective, and the kind words about A&M and the corps. From someone who couldn't attend the game, I really appreciated seeing the crowd reactions and the emotional ups and downs. Appreciate the professional demeanor of the video. You guys have a great seats. Let's hope the Ags can stay competitive against the perennial #1 ranked Alabama in years to come! s/ member of Aggie Class of 1983.
You guys know how to play more than 2 notes, which is already better than LSU. Always a pleasure to host Bama!
Aggie Band Class of '96 here with a Senior in the Appalachian State Marching Mountaineers. Excellent vblog! Well done! I love the humor of band members, no matter what school. Thank you for giving me such a great experience of a modern (and rival) perspective of the field and school that I know and love. I humbly apologize for the few bad apples, and wish you success in your school and band endeavors at Alabama.
That was a great vid. I was at the game, and it was a great victory for us. I told my brother, Bama will learn from this and they will be fine. I love the reactions after every score, your friends are very funny especially the blonde that was sitting next to you, she was very cute. I hope you had a great time, i am sorry for the fans that were rude, unfortunately we cannot escape them. Have a great rest of the season, and keep hammering down.
Bama has “curb stomp” the Aggies last several years, I see how people would lost their minds😆 That stadium sounded loud through my iPad. I’m glad we got you guys this year, hopefully A&M can stay competitive in the years to come. Thank you for the upload:)
We will.
Ran across this video by mere chance.... thank you so much for sharing it. Apologies for the crass comments of some of my fellow Aggies. I do play-by-play of A&M games for Spanish radio and I remember mentioning to my on-air partner that the 'Bama band was still in the stands way after the game... little did I know you were still rolling tape. I'm looking forward to going to Tuscaloosa next year - thank you for capturing gameday at Kyle Field - hope you and your fellow vloggers enjoyed it over all. Gig 'em / Roll Tide Roll - SEC!
Much respect! Aggie class of 2006, I was in the stands to your front right in section 239!!! Great game, and again great respect to yalls program. Met a ton of great bama fans that night!
“Losses are more historic than victories.” Love the deep quote and very interesting pov from the band side of things. Glad y’all came over and hope y’all enjoyed a little bit of Texas.
Howdy from South Texas. I enjoyed your video, it was fun to watch. You Alabama Folks are a real Classy bunch. Best of luck with the remainder of your season. Gig'em
Aggie here. We always enjoy playing y'all, even if we lose by a lot most of the time. Great video! #Gig'em
Aggie here. Great job, neat video. Sad to hear anyone was not nice. My trip to see my Aggies at Tuscaloosa was amazing and everyone was great.
Just came across this video and, in the spirit of getting amped for college ball kick-off in a few weeks… I’m going to share this with my local A&M Club (Ozark A&M Club in NW Arkansas)!
Aggies usually do a pretty good job of setting straight the 2-%ers like the ones who were rude to you. I hope someone had a chat with them.
But mostly I’m here to say that this was such a great video. Growing up in an Aggie family, I’ve never experienced a ATM game from this perspective and it was fun! I’m even more proud to be a Fightin’ Texas Aggie Class of ‘88, and I hope you can come back for a game after you graduate and experience Aggieland that way, too.
Alabama isn’t all that far from me, and getting to a game at BDS is on my list! I can’t wait!
Can I say. I’m an Aggie class of 2001 and I love your content. The Florida game was fun too. Looking forward to seeing the Mississippi state vlog. I loved seeing real people behind the Alabama machine. You guys are amazing. Love college football. Thanks for showing us your perspective. Cheers.
I loved this perspective. I am sorry about those crass idiots who gave you all a hard time. That is not the Aggie Way. You all win so much and you are such a fine team. That's what makes this win for us so special. You have my respect. The band is awesome too. Melos Rock! I may have to start following these VLOGs ;-)
really well done -- enjoyed very much. Thanks for this perspective. Look forward to seeing y'all back in 2 years.
Great video. Thanks for uploading. Incredible atmosphere and game. The ending!! Classic. I keep watching to find the different characters running onto field. Good luck rest of season. Gigem Aggies.
I enjoyed watching this from the Bama perspective. You guys gotta lot of class. And helluva game yall got to experience. I need to get my butt back to Kyle Field. Miss that vibe.
Love your vlog. I'm an Aggie and am so glad you made the trip; really like to see your band here. You seem like really great kids, very classy, and I enjoyed watching your trip and observations of Aggieland. The souvenir cups part was hilarious (and true) and loved your ranking the stadium. I apologize for the rudeness you encountered. We do not like anyone treating our visitors with disrespect. Thanks for your video and your compliments to the Cadets, the atmosphere and the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band. See you next year! Roll Tide! And Gig 'Em!
Loved this perspective of the game. Thanks for posting. Enjoy the rest of your senior season and good luck this weekend against State!
Good job here-one of the best videos I've seen documenting this event. Thanks!
That was a really neat video. Thanks for the perspective!
I'm an Aggie c/o 07', and this was a great VLOG. Glad you enjoyed the trip and thanks for putting this together. It was interesting to watch from your perspective.
A&M Fan here, great vlog. Interesting to see the Bama band perspective. Shout out to the girl that knew we were preseason #6. Girl clearly knows her CFB. Bama band has some good songs and great people from what I can tell.
43:48 And that look! LOL You guys are great. And yes, LSU is awful.
OG Aggie here. I really enjoyed this video! You and your bandmates were all class, just as expected from Bama. Apologize for any disrespectful fans you encountered. Thanks for sharing. Gig’em!
I found your channel when I was looking for A&M/Bama game highlights. I'm a former student (that's what Aggies call themselves when they graduate) a FEW years out *cough* class of '93 *cough*. Anyway your vlog was amazing!! Of course I loved it b/c of the outcome of the game (and trust me - when you guys were predicting the score I thought you were being too kind, I was a bit worried about a shutout - your football team is amazing - an unexpected win down to the wire is seriously the best kind ever) which was such an amazing surprise, but more so b/c of the perspective you all had. It almost FELT like I was there with you guys. I can't believe how CLEARLY you could hear our yells, the band, our war hymn and the crowd and noise!
I do hate to hear that you had a few less than ideal run-in's with some of our fans, but as you said every team has a few that take it to far. I'm sorry you guys had to experience that.
BTW, your friend's face when we fired our cannon had me dying!
I haven't gone any further into your vlogs but hope to see you do Auburn and LSU also. Auburn b/c I think it would be neat to see your special viewpoint against your in-state rival and LSU b/c they can just be downright intense!! Going back to watch old vlogs now :)
Wish you showed the kick return TD 😉
Band sounded great. Thanks for recording and sharing 👍
Thank you so much for this! It brings back memories of band trips during my years. Sadly, those were back in the Big12 days. I also hate to hear that y'all ran into some bad apples wearing maroon. Hospitality is no small thing.
Again, thanks for a great video, and for allowing me to see my second home through another's eyes.
So much of why we decided to start making these is not only for ourselves, but for other fans to see inside of the “real” game day experience is like, and Kyle Field was one that I believe every fan needs to experience. I’m also glad that it brings back great memories. I’m dreading the end of this season because it will mean that my time in the Million Dollar Band is up, so I’m trying to soak in every moment.
As for the Aggie fans we had issues with, I said it to my family and anybody else who has asked. 90% of Aggies were so incredibly nice, the other 10% were drunk. They decided to put us next to the student section, which even in the nicest venues, isn’t a fantastic idea.
@@HammeringDown my 4 years in the Aggie Band were some of the best of my life. That last year is indeed bittersweet.
The loss was mostly humbling because you've enjoyed a consistent dynasty of winning unlike college football has ever seen. That's something to really enjoy. And remember... Bama has won for championships with 1 loss on the season. All is definitely not lost! Good luck going forward
@@HammeringDown I remember my last home game experience on the field marching with the Aggie Band (class of '96) like it was yesterday, and I am celebrating my 25th year reunion this year! Drink in every second of that last home game drill, you will be talking about it for the rest of your life! God Bless!
Hey you helped me and my girlfriend off the field after that game. You had a good comment that you were used to seeing the field get stormed, and it made us laugh. Thanks for the good showing, it was a hell of a game.
I didn’t know I needed this video until I watched it! Great idea - thanks for sharing! 👍
That was a fantastic video. Thank you for posting. I can tell you, Most Aggies would not treat y’all bad. Apologies for the 10%. And from the 90% true Ags, great game!
That was a helluva game played there. I honestly watched most of this video just to find myself in the video. (I was one of the yellow shirt guys. I was the one holding the rope for Bama as they came out of the tunnel closest to y'all, typically standing behind the cheerleaders, on the right side of the camera.) I did not believe the Aggies would win until I saw the final field goal going through the uprights!
Glad y'all had a good time there at the game, and sorry for the few rude fans we had. There's always a few, and they tend to stand out the most. I see a few at every game for the visiting team as well. At least we're not LSU! Those fans are the worst.
Thanks and Gig 'Em!
As class of ‘02 from A&M, thanks for sharing this! Sorry about the 20%, but glad you encountered mostly good connections in Aggieland. Lots of respect for your program.
Thanks so much for this video! It was really great. Felt like I was there! P.S. Y'all were a class act. I hope you enjoyed your time at Kyle Field.
Awesome video. I'm a UT student but I was at the game. Cool point of views all around
Hope you enjoyed your time in Aggieland. Glad to have y’all.
Just came across this 5 months later. Interesting to see it from your perspective. As an old Ag (Class of 1965) I actually enjoy watching most of Alabama games. We do recognize quality. We do get along with most of the SEC schools, with the exception of the one in Louisiana. I would like to point out one thing about the storming of the field. I'm not sure if it ever happened before we joined the SEC, but it has happened twice. It happened three times last year in the SEC. Kyle Field did not have the goal posts come down, nor did they come down in 2018 when the field was stormed after the LSU game. Some may wonder why since that is the normal thing at other locations. It's actually very simple. We have respect for Kyle Field and that would be a display of disrespect.
From what I have seen in other videos, when the Aggies come to Bryant-Denny, we get treated fairly well and I hope other than the score, you all had a good visit.
As an old Ag (‘91) and an Aggie band parent, I’d like to say that the Bama fans we encountered were absolutely classy and personable. I apologize for any 2% ers who treated y'all poorly/rudely...that is not what Aggieland is about! Great job representing your University with class and grace!
Back in 2013, as an A&M student at the time, after the game against Bama I sat on a bus with none other than Bama Center Chance Warmack’s parents. They said that A&M “was the best atmosphere they’d ever been too and were glad we were in the conference.” I’ll never forget that. We lost but the Bama fans were class acts the whole time.
Thanks for showing Kyle Field! Hope y’all had a good time at a great game. Thanks and gigem! Have a great year!
100% the souvenir Cups are very small but it’s mainly to cut back on plastic used because now you can fill them up whenever you want to there are so to stand still at the stadium also you can buy one of the 12 Man tumblers that you can bring back to the stadium and use that as a cup all season. Hope you and your band enjoyed Kyle Field can’t wait to have y’all in two years!
We eventually figured that out, but most of us try to avoid soft drinks when at games and all the machines only sold soda, unfortunately. I absolutely appreciate that it was refillable, though. For every other person in the stadium besides the away band people, it’s absolutely an amazing deal.
@@HammeringDown they also have gatorade
Howdy! Current students here at A&M. I just want to say I'm glad y'all had a great time! Y'all talked about the rude aggies you met. I am so sorry for those people. We aggies do not represent that type of culture. One that puts down other fans after a loss. We understand the pain. Therefore it is out of kindness we say "Good game." Y'all had a rough time this game but y'all will curb stomp the missippi state bulldogs! Thanks for coming to Aggieland! Gig'em!
Aggie here, Really enjoyed watching this. good videoing despite having to still play instrument. Glad yall didn’t get trampled. When I was on the field I wish I had come say hi, yall seem to be a stand up group. i wish the best of luck to bama for the rest of the season. Glad yall came to see us
Good video. Hope you enjoyed MOST of your trip. Gig'em Aggies! Whoop!
I loved seeing your perspective of the game day experience. Thank you for sharing. You and your friends are very classy, as I expect ALL of our fans to be....sorry for the 2%. Comment on the souvenir cup...they are smaller this year because unlimited refills are allowed at the self serve refill stations all over the stadium this year. I truly hope you left with a lasting impression of an enjoyable stadium experience....except of course for the final score.
You guys are great, keep it up! From an Aggie.
You guys were great sports and I apologize for the Ags that represented us poorly. Definitely appreciate you showcasing the venue and yells from the visitor perspective and though I probably wouldn't have seen this if we weren't fortunate enough to upset a Bama powerhouse this night, I have subscribed and look forward to seeing from your perspective in some other stadiums that I haven't had the opportunity to visit! Thanks and gig'em!
That was a great Vlog. Very well done. Gig em Aggies!!!
Love ya'lls post game comments. Really educated fans in the band and a great outlook.
Really enjoyed the video. Video quality, sound, and editing were great! It was interesting to see Kyle Field from the visitors perspective. I apologize for the morons who were rude. They DO NOT represent A&M! Although y’all lost, I’ve never heard Kyle Field that loud, so I’m glad y’all were able to see and experience the 12th Man at its best.
Like the girl said in your video, y’all win so much you get spoiled. I’d love to have that problem. That said, Saban will fix things and y’all will run the table, beat Georgia, and win another National Championship! I’ll definitely be pulling for y’all the rest of the year!
Does the SEC have a rule that states the visiting team can only take their full band to a certain number of games?
Last thing, you just got a new subscriber! Looking forward to more videos!
Gig ‘em and Roll Tide!
So, the thing with the band size is that we only take a full band to Auburn and Tennessee away games. This is because of safety reasons (we’ve had some serious issues in the past at other venues) and financially it’s difficult to move 400+ people.
As for the Aggie fans. So many were beyond nice. Many of which would apologize in the moment for the bad one’s behavior. They were drunk and excited and it was to be expected, to be honest.
@@HammeringDown Great video. I'm disappointed that there were drunk, obnoxious people at the game. It used to be that they didn't sell alcohol in the stadium and most tailgates were pretty restrained. That south end zone has more people who are not associated with A&M who get tickets through brokers. I'd like to hope that the people being obnoxious were not Aggies but hard to know. Enjoyed seeing the game from your perspective and meeting your bandmates. I remember flying back from a Cotton Bowl maybe thirty years ago next to a kid from The Notre Dame band. I find band kids are usually pretty nice. Good luck with rest of your season!
@@HammeringDown Maybe y’all can trade Tennessee for A&M in the future since clearly safety isn’t exactly guaranteed there now. It’s sadly very rare now that we get to see a visiting band march. That’s one thing I miss from the Big 12 and all the in-state opponents.
@@HammeringDown -- safety is seriously an issue? opposing fans throwing stuff? LSU? Tennessee (lulz)?
@@davidlamb12345 safety can be a real issue, yes. LSU can be pretty rough with things thrown and whatnot. Tennessee fans have actively attempted to flip our busses as were parking to go into Neyland my freshman year. I have personally never been to a venue besides Mississippi State where some object or drink wasn’t thrown at or on the band.
Thanks for the video. Love seeing Kyle field thru the eyes of a visitor. Sorry for the rude behavior. They are the exception as you noted you have them, too. Best of luck of you for the rest of the year.
Enjoyed seeing it from your eyes. Thanks for sharing. Hope you had a good visit, save a few classless fans. Gig’em
Just saw the end and yall mentioned people were rude. There are bad apples everywhere, I hope for the most part you had a good time in College Station. Appreciate the video man. Really cool to watch from your perspective.
ditto everything said above. You and your friends are a class act- makes you proud to be an American- and a Southerner! Oh, and that Basket song was awesome- i even liked the hand movements. More info on that, please! And lastly, as long as we keep winning, can you please drop one more game so we see Atlanta? ;)
Very interesting perspective on the game. Interesting to see it from the other side's point of view. I used to have season tickets on the third deck in the south end zone. Live overseas now and gave them up a few years ago. I think Kyle Field has as good of a game day experience as there is in college football. You kind of alluded to some Aggies being impolite to you. It distresses me to hear that. I think that hospitality to campus visitors was always a point of pride with Aggies. I hope that doesn't change.
Hope you enjoyed your trip to Aggieland
Sorry for the idiots that did not treat you as guest and with respect!! In Aggieland we pride ourselves on treating the visiting fans with respect, win or lose……the fact that only 80% of fans were nice to you is very disappointing to this old Ag!!!
I hope you enjoyed the trip (minus the score and the rushing of the field).
We used to not rush the field but apparently some things change….and not for the better!
Gig’em and Roll Tied 👍🏻
100% concur. Fightin Texas Aggie Class of 96! Whoop!
Seeing this Vlog made me wish Mississippi State could send us in the Famous Maroon Band to farther away games. Would absolutely love to travel there with the FMB in a pep band, even being a sousaphone player and having to deal with chaos that is away games for us.
That said, I don’t think the athletic department has the money for it’s because the longest away games we go to are Kentucky and Georgia I think. Or something like that, don’t entirely know, only been on an away game to Auburn in 2019 and I get to go to Auburn *again* this year for my away game.
Ah well, great perspective! Love seeing this from the MDB point of view! Maybe someday in the future the FMB can travel to College Station.
Either way, great video!
Really cool to see a different perspective of the game. Sorry about the fans
DJ Mike hitting the Sandstorm after the kick was good.
I enjoyed this Vlog thoroughly. I’m sorry if you experienced any disrespect. That’s not the Aggie way. Thank you for keeping it real.
Thanks for the video from an Aggie Class of 91' - I hope you enjoyed the A&M Campus and Kyle Field.
Now... Go Beat The Hell outta Miss State !!
I just came actoss your video. My brother is class of 08 AM. It is interesting hearin other SEC students think of Kyle field. The audio is normally hard to capture unless your there great job.
We hope you enjoyed your time in CSTAT. One of your trombone players, Jason Wheat, is from our hometown in New Braunfels, Texas.
At 18:16, Where did the air raid siren sound come from? Was it coming from the tornado siren?
It’s piped in over the speakers as part of the the team’s pre-entrance schtick
As an aggie '70 we should always be polite to guests. Blessings to Yall.
Class video. It was a great game. There are a few idiots in every crowd. I cannot say I have never been “that guy”. Apologies for that. Best of luck. Stay safe.
Ol’ Ag, Class of ‘97
You guys will be fine. One loss is a great season for most but when you win as much as Alabama does one loss isn’t the best of seasons. Remember most Alabama national championships have came in years they’ve lost a game. I’m a fan of neither of these schools but the tradition of both schools is amazing. Both schools fill 100,000 plus seats every home game.
Also 1 more question because I know every stadium y’all go to gets loud because they want to beat Alabama but 1 to 10 how loud was the stadium?
Kyle Field is a different animal. It’s not the loudest stadium I’ve been to, if we’re talking pure decibles. If you go back to our Florida vlog, I had to do a lot of editing because the noise was so loud that it ruined the clips. Auburn is also a really loud place to play, but I don’t have a vlog on that yet.
All that said, Texas A&M was different. At the other stadiums I’ve been to, it’s all white noise. It gets loud and deafening at times, but being able to hear and understand at all times what is being said and chanted was more distracting and disorienting than any other college football game I’ve been to. It’s very much like a major soccer match vibe, and from the rest of my channel, that’s one of the biggest complements I can give. Knowing that an entire stadium is not only unified in fandom but also in voice and chant is intimidating to say the least.
@@HammeringDown please send an email to the idiots at A&M that want to water down the unique experience of “yells”, the band, etc……with more pumped in music created by our “DJ” 🙄🤦🏻♂️
@@svgitana2499 I’ll be honest, the DJ was weird. Lots of strange music choices and cuts in weird places. Had a lot more fun listening to the chants (yells?) and band.
@@HammeringDown completely agree!!!! I love listening to our band and the other teams band, along with our yells and the other teams fans and reactions! That’s what college football is all about…….not piped in music, flames, etc…….😖
@@svgitana2499 New Army is always trying to wreck something.
Growing up in College Stationwatching the TAMU Fighting Texas AGGIE Band play every home game is why I went into band myself and was in a Drum Corps for a little bit till me moved to Germany and no such thing there so joined a jazz band. Loved seeing another band's perspective of the game and the TAMU Band. Great job on filming this.
Thanks for coming god bless!
Loved how the band had to keep playing their instruments, then could finally cheer after. Gigem
Thanks for coming abs hope you had a great time in Aggieland. We pride ourselves on our campus and howdy hospitality. I apologize for whatever negative fan experience you alluded to.
Gig Em!
Your videos are dope..
My prediction was 41-14. Glad I was so wrong! Great video, guys. I especially appreciate you shushing others and singing the National Anthem! Those commies from Austin would never do that. I hope you all had a good time in Aggieland despite the game. See you in a couple years! Gig Em
This guy was a instructor at my highschool band camp!
yalls song is very catchy as an aggie fan.
Good morning! First I want to say that as an Aggie I always enjoy watching and hearing the million dollar band. Other than the Aggie band, definitely my favorite!
Second. For the few idiots who were rude and used offensive, vulgar, and foul language; I am sorry. That is not the Aggie way.
39:51 Is that JESUS running onto the field!? So THAT's how the Aggies won!
😆
Never seen so many Nerds that close together in all my life
I will say the souvenir cups are small but it’s free refills unlike other stadiums
good vid
How’d it feel being surrounded by the 12th man?😉
One things for sure. If I was back in band in college. I’d be talking to that girl with the braids at the end.
