yea, it's too bad you aggies can't get the bon fire back. at least a reasonable facsimile thereof. a smaller, safer one but still a rallying point for y'all.

Well, they do. Sort of. For obvious reasons there is an emphasis on safety. And no more build-it-higher every year, which is good. (I think it's ~50 feet.) But it's off-campus and I'm not sure how many students actually participate. Last year texags interviewed the head guy who had held that position for 11 years. Wait, what? It's an impressive fire, for sure. I just don't know how many students are flunking classes to build it, which of course is what it's all about.

Honest question: my Bonfire posts both got a lot of down votes. Is this a normal Rantgrief thing, or is there really a butthurt jealousy thing?

Air Force has, hands down, the best pre-game tradition of any college team. Not only does the falcon buzz the stands, wings of blue jumps into the stadium and there is always a fly-by. Nothing quite like seeing hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer money flying missing man over the stadium. They've tightened the restrictions on how low the pilots can get these days but it's still a sight to be seen.

Lots of good moments so far.

i want to see an Army vs Navy game. Take it all in. I think it's the purest collegiate game in all of the sports.

It's more than a little weird that your bonfire gif got 28 downvotes. I've no idea why 28 people would feel a need to downvote that, other than the obvious: they're LSU fan teenagers. Get used to it.

"My Old Kentucky Home" on Senior Day is the greatest tradition in college sports.
Playing it at the end of each football game is great. I also love how we do "the call to post" before kickoffs too.

I think the Seminole throwing the flaming spear is pretty cool.


Fun fact: The flaming spear came from San Diego State when Bobby Bowden watched as SDSU bludgeoned his Noles. The pre-game he saw our Aztec do it. They got better, we got much worse. Very few people know that though, not even many Noles or Aztec fans.

From Bowden's mouth

quote:

"We got that idea from San Diego State," Bowden said. "I remember we came out of our dressing room and saw (the Aztec Warrior mascot) in a sarong with a flaming spear. It was very inspirational."

My perspective...by school thinking football only:

University of Florida Gator Chomp
University of Georgia Kickoff Dog Bark thing
University of Kentucky Hmmmm...ah...well...
University of Missouri Watching OU shred them 77-7 with the wishbone?
University of South Carolina The cock crow (recording) before the game I guess.
University of Tennessee Playing opponents fight song.
Vanderbilt University Empty Stands.

West Division

University of Alabama Houndstooth hats
University of Arkansas Call Those Hogs
Auburn University Auburn, Paying well
Louisiana State University Saturday Night in Baton Rouge (and Arkansas is about to stump break us again)
University of Mississippi Hotty Toddy God Almighty...we screwed.
Mississippi State University Stupid, ridiculous annoying bells. (I know...you thought fans until I typed bells)
Texas A&M University Yell Leaders. (everyone else thinks this is funny...A&M fans don't get it)
