Nice


But this caught my eye

quote:

prohibits all Aggies from stepping on the grass that surrounds the building.


So no issue with visitors walking around on it?

Oh, I see, so it's open season for everyone else.



No, I just used a direct quote from the mothership feed which assumes everyone is an Aggie.

It use to be a rule, or more accurately a superstition that you could not eat Pork products on game day.


If that was still a tradition I would never be able to be a Arky fan.

As you walk under Memorial Union you are supposed to remove your hat to honor the fallen soldiers that attended Mizzou.

I think that is just a military thing. I know that when I was training at Keesler AFB, walking on the grass was a big no no. A&M identifies as a military school so... That is my theory but it doesn't make it any less stupid.

If their football players followed the rules as closely as the fans follow this one they'd never have an arrest.

On a hot sunny Saturday in BR it's always good luck for the opposing team to continually poke Mike the tiger with a stick

Can't walk on their grass or wear a hat indoors, well you can, but they get all pissy about it
or you know, its respecting a memorial. Whatever though right?

Traditions on our campus?

On football gamedays, we have a tradition called hide and seek. The goal is to actually find our campus.

Not entirely accurate. If you're a student, you don't walk underneath until you've graduated. Superstition is that you won't graduate if you walk under as an undergrad. I think it's similar to the seal at Auburn.


The seal is just dont walk on it, no superstition.
We have an "arch" area for graduates, like UGA, toomers corner gates.
Also, the canon lathe, I forget the exact superstition but if it turns when you kiss your SO its supposed mean something, I forget

I read an article in the student newspaper yesterday that said LSU will be a smoke-free campus next fall. There will be no actually penalties thought. It said they were just gonna rely on people telling others not to smoke

Nope, don't walk on it or you won't graduate on time

Literally never heard of this
quote:

Also, the canon lathe
The original story is that the lathe will turn every time a virgin co-ed walks by it

They've softened it up now about "If an Auburn man kisses an Auburn woman in front of the lathe..." and then something about bad luck if it moves.
