Texas A&M’s season is on ice after a shocking upset loss against Appalachian State at home on Saturday, but the internet added a bit of insult to injury.
On Monday, a viral clip made the rounds from this week’s “Midnight Yell” in which a Texas A&M student delivered a cringeworthy attempt at a roast of the Mountaineers.
“I was really confused because Appalachia is definitely not a state,” he said, which earned meager applause from the Kyle Field crowd. “But sure enough, I found them, and they’re located deep — and I mean deep — in the backwoods, just like you would think any hillbilly college that names themselves the Mountaineers.
“I just hope these guys can get here tomorrow alright because I know for a fact that half of their football team can barely even read the name on their jerseys, let alone read a map.”
You get the picture.

For the (blessedly) uninitiated, Texas A&M students gather at the stadium the night before games for the Midnight Yell, which is essentially a glorified pep rally that features Yell Leaders giving a pregame hype speech.
They’re rarely much better than this one.
Obviously, this wasn’t the best look following the embarrassing 17-14 loss to an App State team that actually made it to College Station without incident. Interestingly, many who posted the video on Twitter quickly found that the clip, which comes from a YouTube video posted by the school’s official account, had disappeared due to an apparent copyright claim.
Hmm.
It seems something — or a copyright claim — is keeping people from seeing the pep rally. If the above clip gets claimed, as well, I’m sure whoever is responsible wouldn’t mind me telling you that you can still see it by clicking this link and going to the 0:54 second mark.
