College football is special because of the traditions and pagentry unique to each school.
As a Badger, I am proud of the traditions that make an Autumn Saturday afternoon in Madison so fun for me. Here's just a few...
* The playing and singing of "Varsity" and "On, Wisconsin!"
* Tailgate Parties (Bratwurst/Beer/Cheese, of course!)
* Camp Randall Stadium (77,000+ Red Clad Fans)
* Bucky Badger's Gameday Antics
* The Wisconsin Marching Band's 5th Quarter Celebration
Go ahead and tell us about your school's tradition(s)...

Full Version: Time Honored Traditions
great idea!
script ohio has to be among the top time honored traditions...it is especially incredible when they do a quad-script (it is usually the weekend of the alumni band invasion)and the dotting of the "i" is such an honor (my father has a book just on the history of the band!)
the cheer of OH -- IO from opposite ends of the stadium
stadium anthem: hang on sloopy (which was played with much too frequency this past season as we found ourselves in WAY too many barn burners!)
newest: tressel's requirement that all players sing the alma mater, "carmen ohio" written in the 20's, after the game is over
and some history: my brother's dorm room as a freshman was actually in the stadium! all i can remember (from 1973) was that it was absolutely disgusting! but he could sneak into games rather easily :cool:
