The picture below from Saturday's Texas A&M vs. Texas Tech game reminds me of the dangers of what sociologists all "Groupthink." Wikipedia defines it like this: "Groupthink may cause the group (typically a committee or large organization) to make bad or irrational decisions which each member might individually consider to be unwise."
Now I confess: in Arkansas, we sqeal "Wooo Pig Sooie!" (extend arms, wiggle fingers, repeat 3 times and add "Razorbacks!" at the end). It feels perfectly natural in a stadium with 75,000 other people or in a crowded El Chico after a big win, but it IS a little awkward when done alone. But Texas A&M takes group stupidity to a new level. See for yourself....
