A&M yell leaders appear to be trying to get things warmed up, but kids in Gamecock gear jumping in the middle of it. Getting a tad testy.

A&M yell leader on mic. Says the best thing about being in Columbia is that he "can drive 3 hours in any direction and be in another state."

A&M trying to get this started, and the USC students start chanting "F— the Aggies." One Ag just shakes his head. "Such trash," he says.

There's already been more passion on display b/w #Gamecocks & #Aggies in 25 minutes of Yell Practice than in 21 years of playing Arkansas.
