TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Kipp Knecht, a Yell Leader at Texas A&M, walked us over to a spot in the shadows of Kyle Field last Monday. His mission? To help me understand.The YouTube videos of Midnight Yell consumed me at the end of last month. I couldn't look away from this Texas A&M tradition. I was watching it on my computer while college football was on my television.My wife, Brittney — who graduated from Texas A&M — was the target of 100 questions about it, most of which she couldn't answer. When her Aggies friends came over to the house to pregame before Texas A&M's game against Arkansas in Dallas two weeks ago, I asked all of them the predictable questions.
