I wanted to do this to not only have a discussion about them, but I also figured I'd learn some I didnt know about. To keep this from a forum simply arguing for your fav schools traditions. Try and give one about a school other than your favorite.
I personally think when Wisconsin plays the song Jump throughout the stadium at the end of the 3rd quarter and the whole crowd goes crazy its pretty badass

I'm a Tennessee fan, so I'd love to put some of those in, but in the interest of the forum guidelines I'll have to say:

Clemson running like a bunch of mad men down that hill, still can't believe nobody's been hurt.

Texas and Colorado with their huge, dangerous animal mascots running wild

Boise's blue field

As a Sooner I like beating them, but I love the traditions at Texas A&M. Standing through the whole game, kissing the date whenever the team scores, etc etc..it's like a whole college football cult down there!

This is supposed to be about other teams, because if you do your own team, you'll get responses like this....

None of those are traditions, if you are bragging about your band and a glorified soccer stadium, you need better ones.

I also like it when a school can manage to pull off a full stadium white-out, black-out, orange-out, red-out, etc

this is kind of about my team but when notre dame and navy play and after the game they stay on the feild and sing eachothers fight songs together, as a sign of respect between the two.

now people can make fun of nd for losing to navy last year.

The Colesium is a stadium I have never had any interest in being in and if your going to name off all these traditions that arent well known (maybe its just me that doesnt know about what yall chant? and these other things youve listed) then atleast say what they are about.

Ya, the solid out of colors is definately really cool, especially for a sport like football where theres thousands and thousands of people.

Ok, as an alternative option for this thread. List your favorite schools traditions for discussion among others i.e. "yeah that's cool" or "I didn't know about that"

Tradition should be realistically defined, not "we're #1" , and everybody's cheerleaders do pushups after a score, or some shit like that.

I'll start,

Tennessee has:

The band forming a T for the players' entrance
Rocky Top constantly
The Vol Navy tailgating
The first checkerboard endzones
"Give him 6!" Unfortunately not heard anymore since John Ward retired
Smokey the blue-tick coonhound
General Neyland's maxims
Touching the "I will give my all for Tennessee today sign"
100,000 plus at every game
Decibals over 100 during big games
