Or around the country you have experienced?

For the diehard LSU fans, there’s nothing more chillingly beautiful than witnessing TGBFTL ‘Pregame’ march in person.


However,


The best tradition in the country on game day is the fact that LSU’s campus becomes a Cajun Food and Drink Festival. Being a gourmet chef is a birthright given to every person born south of I-10 between Texas and Mississippi. The diverse and unique cuisine that they deliver is everything your drunken, greedy gluttonous belly needs to survive the ensuing alcohol poison coursing through your body. It’s the epitome of living for a good time, and not a long time.

What are some other popular traditions?

End times upon us.

For USC, about a couple hours before KO, the Spirit of Troy (Trojans Marching Band) and fans gather on the steps of Heritage Hall, the band plays, etc. Afterward, fans go inside the Coliseum and watch Traveler (the all white horse and rider) enter and circle the field and as he returns, the sword is handed off to the Drum Major, who walks to the center of the field and stabs it into the ground. Then, watching the Trojan Marching Band make its entrance through the Olympic Torch Entrance...what a sight! FIGHT ON!, for 'ol 'SC!







USC FIGHT SONG, Fight On!

For Georgia, my favorite is just prior to kickoff, to hear the Redcoat Band trumpeter playing, "Glory", from the North Stands Upper Deck and then the awesome 440-member Redcoat Band joins in at the end...gives you cold chills!! It's played slowly and reverently...then, the grandest voice ever to be heard over radio comes over, the voice of Larry Munson, as he gives tribute to the great tradition and glory of Georgia football. Then, meeting and greeting Uga before the game and watching him run onto the field. Uga, the BEST DAMN DAWG IN THE LAND! AMERICA'S #1 MASCOT! Sic'em!! Woof!!

Finally, UGA's now famous, "light up Sanford" at the end of the 3rd Qtr/beginning of 4th Qtr....this newest tradition is a UGA ORIGINAL!!! Now, some others are beginning to copy us. But, that's alright.

"Once a Dawg, always a Dawg! How sweet it is!"

GEORGIA FIGHT SONG, Glory!





The University of Georgia's beautiful North Campus, modeled and designed after Yale University. Here is the Chapel, the oldest building on campus, built in 1832. The University of Georgia is the nation's oldest public state-chartered university, established in 1785.



GEORGIA's newest tradition---a college football original started in 2016..."Light Up Sanford". UGA fans light up other stadiums on the road, too!

How cool can it be if a fan of your arch rival that only lives an hour away from your campus has never heard of it?

I guess if you've never been and never seen it, you couldn't have an opinion on it IYAM.

We have the Tiger Walk, which other schools have copied.

We have the eagle flight, which is second to none.

I mean take away those two things, not much.

You got a few hours?


We have so stinkin’ many of ‘em, it's almost impossible to choose one (or ten. Or 20).

There are many aspects of the 12th Man Tradition that are very special; so that one’s definitely up there.

But for the purpose of this thread, I’ll go with, When the team scores, we score.
Self explanatory.

That's very progressive of A&M to support trans rights so openly like that
