I really wasnt expecting an Arkansas fan to contribute to this thread... After how many losses last year did the student just say "frick it" and stop showing up altogether and just staying at the bars?

..because artificial noisemakers are against the rules but the NCAA just feels plain sorry for MSU and lets it slide

Does this confuse the football players? I mean when us simple folk chant "Defense", our players do not really have to think about it. Maybe this was the reason for your sub-par defense, you are confusing the players with the diverse chants???
shite! NOW you tell us.

yeah because no one ever got off a bus and walked to the stadium before Auburn invented it.
Very true
well, to be completely accurate, auburn may have been the first in the SEC to do it , but Stanford and Williams College came before them

In the beginning, in the 1960s -- before Tiger Walk became "the most copied tradition in all of college football," Auburn athletic director David Housel said with pride, not pique -- it was just a bunch of kids running up to Donahue Drive to see the Auburn Tigers walk from their dorm to the game.
There are older pre-game walks at Stanford and at Williams College. But they don't generate the passion that builds as the Auburn team makes the turn from Donahue onto Roosevelt at the south end of Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Like several other schools, the Stanford football team participates in a pregame walk. The Walk started in the 1950s and the Stanford band leads the team from the Arrillaga Family Sports Center to the stadium approximately 80 minutes before kickoff.

Is the Tiger Walk actually Mike the Tiger walking around?
Yes and countless people are mauled to death. It makes very little sense and there's no real reason for it to continue, but it's tradition.

It actually dates back to the 60s but I'm indifferent to the tradition

Sorry that is a dumb tradition but OP asks if anyone does better traditions and hangs his hat on a pretty dumb one
Beaver is now an authority on what everyone besides aggys thinks is dumb and has proclaimed yell practice a dumb tradition, I guess we need to shut it down.

this can't be a serious question. the players walk down victory hill a few hours before the game and then the LSU band marches down victory hill and into the stadium, usually about 1.5 hours before kickoff. mike the tiger is driven around the stadium in a cage before the game and then parks next to the visiting team's tunnel, before being taken back to his habitat before kickoff

I was talking about other things. Is the Tiger Walk actually Mike the Tiger walking around? Someone asked earlier in the thread but nobody answered...
LSU has road that goes from the indian mounds to the stadium (between Tiger Stadium and the PMAC) that is called victory hill. The GBFTL (the band) march down the hill into the stadium and it is a really cool experience.
Then inside the stadium, LSU has a big cart that they pull Mike the Tiger around the field in with the cheerleaders sitting on top of it. Then they park it right where the visiting team has to take the field.
The band then takes the field and does a very classic march and cheer "practice" if you will before the game to get the crowd ready.
The announcer always gives the temp of the game and then says "Chance of rain, never". Even if it is raining cats and dogs it is said.
Also announcer says the sun has taken it's resting place in the western sky and it is Saturday Night in Death Valley (approx don't remember exact language) which is another big tradition.
These are some of the pre-game traditions I can think of besides the tailgating.

FTR, I didn't care for his thread title either.
But there sure are some defensive as hell SEC fans in here.
And Ags don't give a shite if every last one of em thinks we're gay as a bedazzled chaise lounge and weird as hell.

was an edit because misread the article (was about his visit in 1989, not when the tradition started); however, auburn started doing it in the 1960s. Stanford started doing it a decade earlier. Regardless of my "edit," Auburn didn't invent this tradition as many of their fans claim.
