All of this talk of the A&M Band
Where is the love for THE ISUCF"V"MB?????
The seniors keep leaving their shoes on the field and someone is going to get hurt!
I'm surprised Boomer Sooner wasn't included. First down? BOOMER SOONER! Change in possession? BOOMER SOONER! Win the game? BOOMER SOONER! Lose the game? You get it.
#6 made me laugh only because one of my old bosses (an ISU grad) said that when he was a student in Ames a bunch of them (students) started throwing apples at the buffalo, which CU had brought to a game a Clyde Williams Field. He said the thing started freaking out, got loose and started rampaging all over the place. After that he said that CU never brought the buffalo back to another ISU home game, and food service stopped serving apples on gamedays... :wink:
I'm so confused...
Thread title and the title of the web page refer to college football. And yet, the URL link name in the post and the photo in the article depict college basketball.
Which team's sport tradition am I supposed to hate? How will I make it through the rest of summer not knowing?
USC does a similar thing. First Down? Daaaa dat dat dat duh DUH da daaaa... Over and over again.
Florida State and the tomahawk chop and the chanting.
Also (if I may crossover to basketball) that St. Joseph's hawk that flaps it's arms incessantly. I find that mildly annoying.
Oh you are so dead on with that one.... I hate that! I think it was a tradition probably started back in the day when it was easy to clap for a hapless K-State or someone in the 70s or 80s that the huskers had just put up 50 on... I'm not sure how the clapping has been in the last couple years however....
Worst Iowa State tradition: Bells of Iowa State. Makes me cringe every time I hear it.
I'm gonna have to throw in a vote for NU's Tunnel Walk. It's not that I hate it, I've just never seen 80,000+ people get so excited about something sooooo lame. I mean you're watching a video of a bunch of dudes walking down a hallway. *yawn*
One of the coolest things I've heard about (never seen it in person) is LSU's bengal tiger "Mike". I hear they make him roar before the game over the PA system by showing him the student mascot dressed in his tiger costume. Nothing like the real thing, baby!
