re: What should be the cutoff number for "greatest" traditions?

My favorite part of going to games in Tuscaloosa, well besides the actual game itself, is the video with highlights from all the championship years and the video that has Coach Bryant talking all the way through it. I get chills every time I hear his voice come across the PA in Bryant Denny.

Videos arent anything unique in CFB, every team has them. But its whats in the videos that touch the fans of that team. Familiar voices, memorable plays, and usually slowly building music that whips your emotions into a frenzy until the culminating moment when the team hits the field just as the song hits the point of headbanging sending the entire stadium into a 102,000 man moshpit of crimson and white.... damn, I'm getting chills thinking about it. But the fans of other schools are prolly reading this snickeing at how dumb they think it is. Thats what traditions are. Awesome to you, absolutely nothing to anyone else.

The most special traditions are the ones that an outsider just doesnt get, but they have an emotional effect on the fans that they are for that cannot be described to anyone that doesnt already get it.
