Is this a parody???

I think the scene was simply an eighties version of a 1960's hollywood musical, hinse a little nudity was allowed. It's no different than watching film like South Pacific or Oklahoma, where you'd have what was suppose to be military men or cowboys singing and dancing. Musicals are fantasy, not realism.

We saw a returned of dancing films in the early to mid eighties, (Stayin Alive, A chorus line),. Sadly, so many of the preformers who appeared in these films where dead before the end of the decade for AIDS. Check the profiles of the guys in this scene, you'll see what I mean.

They would be showering together after the game, yes. But if they WERE singing, it would probably be something a whole let more vulgar and less Broadwayish than this song was, and they certainly wouldn't be dancing like that. It would come across to them as GAY. And if you're perceived as gay in such a hetero-centric realm as college football (particularly in the locker room!), then all the other players are going to make your life miserable. At least that's the way it would have been back in 1982, though attitudes may have changed nowadays. This especially holds true in Texas, which is generally known for it's conservatism and good ol' boys. This scene, while enjoyable, was just so totally unrealistic as to impede one's ability to suspend disbelief, which you need to be able to do to enjoy a movie.

On the flipside, though, the irony of a very homoerotic scene with the boys talking about going to a whorehouse as the focus made for an interesting juxtaposition.

The Aggie football players were celebrating beating their big rival, the University Of Texas Longhorns.

The Longhorns lead the series with more than twice as many wins as A&M, 76-37-5. The rivalry was played every year between 1898 and 2011, until Texas A&M left the Big 12 Conference to join the Southeastern Conference. Leading up to the end of the yearly series, Texas had won 9 out of 12 matchups in the 21st century, including a six-game winning streak between 2000 and 2005. The Texas–Texas A&M football rivalry has given rise to several stereotypes on both sides: Texas A&M is generally portrayed as the rural smaller school while Texas is portrayed as the urban-wealthy larger school. With the exception of the 1994 game, when A&M's probation restricted the Aggies from being televised, the annual football game with Texas A&M traditionally took place on Thanksgiving Day. This rivalry is often considered one of the top college rivalries of all time.

In July 2011 Texas A&M elected to join the Southeastern Conference beginning in 2012. The move to switch conferences resulted in the ending of the 118 year rivalry between the two schools. On November 24, 2011 Texas faced Texas A&M in College Station in the final scheduled meeting of the rivalry as of January 2012. Texas defeated Texas A&M 27–25 on a last second field goal to win the final meeting. In January 2013, a Texas state legislator filed a bill that would require the two teams to play each other every year. The bill was referred to the House Committee on Higher Education on February 18, 2013.

The football series was the third longest running rivalry in college football. Since 1900 the last regular season football game was usually reserved for the matchup. Each school has elaborate pre-game preparations for the annual football clash, including the Aggie Bonfire and Hex Rally. Texas has a unique lighting scheme for the UT Tower after beating Texas A&M.
