What are the Best Traditions in College Football?

Pains me to say it, but the eagle circling the stadium in Auburn is pretty cool

One day I'm going to an Auburn game and when they let the eagle go I'm going to let loose a big rat and watch the carnage as that eagle dive bombs the crowd. Should be great fun.

Amateurism. Oh wait… 😉

Some great songs sung by fans in stadiums.

Seven Nation Army at Ohio State games right before kickoff.

Tsunami at the Army - Navy game.

Jump Around at Wisconsin

Sweet Caroline by several schools.

Take Me Home at WVU.

Besides Bama, everyone is second, I have always liked USC Trojan horse coming in and their fight song, FSU - throwing the spear, UT ( can't stand them) running through the T is neat, and the Ole Miss girls are pretty a good tradition

This was cool in its day.

This was cool in its day.

I’ve always loved this when played by The Million Dollar Band. Of course this song was huge back in the day. It always “stuck in craw” a little that USC band was used. Nothing would have said “Tusk” like Bama with an elephant as a mascot.

Clicked on here to say winning.

Instead ill say cheating, while accusing every other program of cheating in the same exact way except when they do it, its wrong. A tradition unlike any other.

 

[CullmanTide]

Auburn losing at anything.

 

[HighlandOak]

For me, it's Dotting the i @ Ohio State.

 

[TideRollsInPa]

Jump Around at Camp Randall and Sandstorm at Williams Brice. Personally, I'd rather watch eagles fly than someone dotting an i.

 

[22Musso22]

Only one fight song: Yea, Alabama!
AND
Rammer Jammer!

 

[bamatex82]

I saw it and I just didn't get it, honestly. Now, the stadium itself is gorgeous - the best in the SEC of the places I've been - but I just don't get their weird traditions; especially yell leaders. Possibly slightly biased having lived in Texas several years.

Agreed.

Yeah, but I do not see Fleetwood Mac getting on a plane to Tuscaloosa (or flying the MDB to SoCal) for this video. This looks like a pretty low-budget affair.

Paying players under the table, but that’s dead now

Aggie war hym the whole stadium swaying. South Carolina entrance. Norte dame in the tunnel touching the sign.

I had a friend once suggest that we should fly in an elephant in a hot air balloon to land on the field. Could be awe inspiring but can't say I would be comfortable with a 12 ton elephant hovering overhead supported by a wicker basket.
