The whistler needs to go. It’s completely obnoxious and you can’t enjoy the broadcast at all. The guys only do it for personal attention now anyway. It doesn’t ever affect the players. It just irritates all fans. The SECN should tell Vandy get him to stop or we won’t televise any of your games during the regular season.

That Rammer Jammer "We just beat the hell out of You" BS that the Alabama fans/MDB spew out after every football victory. Totally classless, but it aligns perfectly with their trashy mentality!

Sandstorm


Sandstorm does get the crowd going, but it should only be played one or two times a game. We play that shite when we kick field goals against Lousiana Tech. They overplay the hell out of it.

Our fans pulling out their keys and shaking them on important plays.

Dumb as frick and a fairly recent "tradition."

It has to be the Midnight Yell and all the strange behavior from the male cheerleaders. Stories of Ole rock, knee slaps, overall wearing, high stepping freaks.



I get a good laugh out of people complaining about Midnight Yell. The only way it could really annoy you is if you attended the yell practice. Why would you want to attend what is essentially a pep rally for the other team?

Makes you look pretty ignorant to complain about something that you voluntarily attend just so you can be annoyed by it.

I don’t like the timing of it. We Are the Boys is our end of 3rd tradition, and is awesome. We kind of rush it now having to fit Won’t Back Down in during the same break.


The Florida game operations office has now twice told LSU's Tiger Band when they could play something during that break only to start playing "Won't Back Down" at the same time to make it look like LSU's band was disrespecting Tom Petty. (I heard this directly from people in the LSU band department.)

Just saying.

GEAUX TIGERS!

Cowbells don’t bother me. It’s State’s thing.

The yell leaders are by and far the biggest thing that annoys me. Aggies think it’s so cool too. The other Aggie traditions that we think are weird aren’t that bad I guess. It’s mainly just the milkmen.

Georgia’s spike guys are annoying to me. It’s like the yell leaders. Just lame and corny but their fans try to act like it’s cool.

Dude it’s a freaking pep rally. For a college. How much more lame can it get?

1) Fans of teams not named Georgia or Bama chanting “S-E-C! S-E-C!” Every time one of them wins a playoff game

2) Florida always dodging Miami

3)LSU claiming that they play in “Death Valley” when we all know that Clemson plays in the real Death Valley

The cowbells annoy me but it's not that big a deal.

However, I've always thought if I was MSU I'd be mildly offended that the conference basically said "listen, it's MSU, they don't have anything else, let them have this" and everyone signed off on that act of charity.

Zero chance the conference would allow the same thing from A&M, LSU, etc.

Sandstorm - SC

Other than the electric slide, it's the whitest and most annoying tradition. Top three with the Cowbells (which is simply obnoxious af) and anything A&M does with that faggy shite they do at football games.

I genuinely don't get the hate for the Hog Call. It's fun to do. It's unique. And it's relatively rare in game.

I'll admit though, the scripted Calls in press conferences and shite is cringe af. It has to be organic. I don't agree with making new coaches do the call or making recruits do it or whatever. It's for fans and that's where it belongs.
