As a foreigner that came here on an athletic scholarship, I have to say, going to college in the USA is simply an awesome experience, and besides learning and earning a degree, it is just a ton of fun. I love this country and everything it has to offer and feel extremely lucky and grateful to be here .....
This is coming from a diehard Florida Gator fan where we have our own traditions so it may sound like sacrilege to some, but the best tradition in college football is at Iowa. Since the completion of the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital overlooking Kinnick Stadium, Iowa has honored the young patients in an extremely unique way. At the end of the first quarter of every home game, both home and away fans, coaches and players turn and face the hospital and wave (those in the stands during night games usually with lighted cell phones) to patients and their families watching the game from the hospital.
20+ year UCLA season ticket holder here. I could not agree with you more. It’s a new tradition when compared to other schools traditions but I think it is the greatest.
Just graduated from Iowa a few months ago, and I completely agree! I went to most of the home games this year and it was super special every time 💛🖤 Go Hawks!
A lot of the traditions are a little song or storming the field… But that tradition? I’m not even an Iowa fan and it’s by far my favorite. That tradition means something to so many people, not just the ones in the stadium.
You guys should look up the "Iowa wave" where they wave to the kids at the children's hostpital overlooking the field and Utahs "moment of Loudness: which they created after they had two players killed by guns in the same year. Moment of loudness always gives me chills
The goalpost came down at Tennessee because that was the first time we beat Alabama in 16 years (they have had a college dynasty for a long time under their head coach Nick Saban). It was one of the craziest games of football I’ve ever watched pro or college. And yes they did throw the goalpost in the river. The university actually started a gofundme to pay for the fine for storming the field and repair the goalpost and it filled in an hour or 2. I’m pretty sure they actually just donated that money as the University isn’t really hurting for the money.
The video where they were tearing the goal post down was against my school, Alabama. It was the first time they beat us in 15 or so years. Needless to say, they were excited.
@@DNReacts As a Tennessee fan - the team who beat Alabama in that game and tore the goal post down - it was more than just "they hadn't beaten us in 15 years." Alabama has been consistently ranked #1 in the nation for those 15 years, while Tennessee has been going through major ups and downs with different coaches every couple years. The game meant a lot more than just beating a team we haven't beaten in a while. It meant that we as a team are back on the right track to compete in our conference again. It was also the first time in a long time our fan base had ANYTHING to be super excited about. Also, you asked how close the river is - the stadium quite literally sits on the river. The "Vol Navy" actually tailgates the games from their boats. It's Neyland Stadium if you want to google maps. Idk if it's still there, but after the game someone added the goal post as a map pin lol.
At the Virginia Tech college football games when everyone starts jumping to Enter Sandman, it has shown up on seismographs a small earthquakes. Go Hokies
Oh and yes, this is true. There's a video on TH-cam where you can watch them measure it during a game. Its pretty cool! And Metallica is performing at Virginia Tech's Lane Stadium in May!
Best tradition. The pageantry of the Army/Navy game. Longest and the best tradition in sport’s history. Give it a look. I promise. It’ll send chills down your spine
It’s a wonderful tradition! The broadcasters recently have said it’s the only game where all the players have sworn to give their lives for the fans if needed. Maybe the Air Force Academy players would beg to differ, but it’s a wonderful thought just the same.
Sandstorm at University of South Carolina is one of the best college football traditions. When we play well the energy in our stadium is unmatched. It is so fun
Jump Around by "The House of Pain" at the end of the 3rd quarter at University of Wisconsin Football Games is totally unbelievable. Even the upper deck and press box shakes....the University had structural engineers make sure it was safe...
The Va Tech Hokies (burgundy uniforms) you saw had soldiers in blue uniforms. These are students who decided to join in the military with a scholarship after going physical and mental testing. A part of the school is a military academy. The cadets go to normal classes and stay in separate dormitories so they can receive extra training. After they graduate, they become officers in different arm forces (Navy, Air Force, Army, Marines).
Virginia Tech's uniforms are not burgundy, but are maroon or to be most precise, Chicago Maroon. I don't know why, and neither does my nephew and his wife who are Tech alumni!
@Gordon Schultz Thank you for the correction. I am Hokie grad myself. BS in Math minor in English with an education portion. I was going to be a math teacher. I got scared because I didn't know if I could be a good teacher as I was so young. My sister was joining Navy as she couldn't afford the rest of college. She's a Hokie too. She and I joined. She managed to get a scholarship by becoming a cadet after boot camp. It took me a few tries while enlisted. My boot camp commanders told I was an idiot because I believed the enlisted recruiter when I drove my sister there. I enlisted, too. They told me to put in for OCS. I got my commission. Long storie into how I eventually became submarine warfare officer. I served ten years.
Hi, I enjoyed reading your reply. My youngest nephew (38 yo) and his wife both graduated from Tech. I graduated from VCU a long time ago. When I first came to Richmond, people always referred to Virginia Tech as VPI. Thank you for your service.
When I was little we called Va Tech "VIPPY SUE" for VPI&SU - Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The story of "Skipper" the cannon is pretty cool (unless you are from VMI)
VA Tech is one of a handful (literally-I think there are just five) senior military colleges remaining in the U.S. Perhaps the best known is Texas A&M University, whose band perform halftime super-precision marching drills that defy the laws of physics, definitely worth a watch by these guys, although halftime shows are not quite in their wheelhouse.
At 2 mins the goalpost stuff #6Tennessee vs #3Alabama in middle of season. TN hadn’t beat Bama in 15 years (ridiculous). Beautiful day/night. Sold out 101,915 in attendance. Amazing game tied 49-49 with 2 seconds left. TN made the game winning FG and that’s when the fireworks go off and crowd starts rushing the field. It was awesome.
Well done. Definitely check out the Ohio State Marching Band -- Hollywood Blockbusters -- is considered one of the best. They also performed at Wembley several years ago (halftime of an NFL game) with a tribute to British Rock. And . . . Texas A&M Marching Band -- every show amazing -- series of intricate patterns on the field. Enjoying your channel. Fun to see new people discover the spectacle and excitement of college football.
@@DNReactsOhio State’s band actually did a combined performance this season with my school’s band, The university of Iowa Hawkeye marching band, and it was an Elton John tribute show! It was super cool and he even tweeted about it!
@@DNReacts A big tradition for the OSU marching band is their Script Ohio, played as part of the pre game, halftime, or after a home game. It's a favorite formation of many fans, so definitely check it out!
@@satalacwell the Vols definitely aren’t a Dixieland delight with football are they? Only beat us once in 16 years. I will say rocky top is probably the best tradition in CFB tho.
The team names of college teams are often about their states identity. For example Tennessee is the volunteer state because so many Tennesseans have served in the military during war. Ohio is the buckeye state named after the common buckeye tree which produces a nut that looks like a chestnut. Indiana is the Hoosier state based on a common greeting “whose here” from the 1800s. Oklahoma is the Sooner state. North Carolina is the Tarheel state. And so on. The names often have historical significance that is a matter of state pride.
The Sooner state because during the period of US sending citizens to go out west into newly acquired territory, they arranged for a time for people to set off to make it fair. The Sooners were the people who cheated and left early. Ha.
My friends and I like to take credit for starting the choreography to the video you saw with Sandstorm! It was the original one, before the remix, but it used to be just people jumping and waving towels. We started doing a pattern during the build-up and over the season the entire student section and stadium started to adopt it. Now we've graduated and its still a tradition!
Around what year did you start that? My friends and I started doing it/something similar in the part of the student section over by the band around the 2012 and 2013 seasons 🙂🐔🤙
@@katiel.3417 that seems to be around the same time we were doing it. It was me, 3 women on the softball team, and a friend from the campus ministry I attended, so about 5 of us in total.
Hey. I’ll take credit for something. It was me that told Dave Odom to let the team stay on the court when we sing the alma mater after basketball games. He was at the Russell House asking for input on how to connect with the fans. That has since become big for multiple sports.
The Ohio State vs Michigan football game is known as "The Game" and is considered the largest rivalry in all of sports. They have 2 of the 3 largest stadiums in the country and it's always an incredible game. If you want a game to come to, come on out to the largest stadium in the country! Michigan vs OSU is at Michigan in 2023
Depends on year but this year it definitely number 1. SEC down this season and the Pac 12 is beating them self up this year. But Michigan vs Ohio St is definitely going to be the game of the regular season
@@gretacarrick5934 demonstrably false, most watched regular season game by FAR. Regular season game with more views than the SEC championship. It's called The Game for a reason.
Yes it was Bama vs Tennessee, Tennessee hadn't beat Bama in like 15 years, I'm a Bama fan..but they threw the goal post in the river, and they tracked it online for a few days lol..had updates were it was
Didn’t know it was tracked for days 🤣 That’s brilliant. We actually watched that game and also the aftermath across 2 videos on the channel. Incredible atmosphere. Appreciate the comment 🤝
Was randomly looking up videos on TH-cam and found your channel. This is actually my video I put together, what are the odds! Was in person for the Tennessee game with the goal post being torn down, the LSU game in the video, and a few more. Glad ya'll liked it!
@@DNReacts Tn fan here and to answer your question the $50,000 goal posts were thrown into the Cumberland River which is about 100 meters away. The university was fined $250,000 for this event but NOBODY can stop 107,000 Vol fans in victory mode. Rare event as they are so costly and last time they threw posts in the river was 1998 along with a $50,000 tv camera into the river.
The insanity when they play Sandstorm at the start of every University of South Carolina home game is without parallel, and that doesn't even include when the team enters through a wall of smoke to Strauss' "Also Sprach Zarathustra" (aka the theme to 2001" A Space Odyssey).
The second stadium is Tennessee. They best Alabama for the first time in years and tore down the posts. The Tennessee River is right outside the stadium in Knoxville Tennessee. The stadium also seats over 100,000.
The song at @9:13 is at Alabama called Dixieland Delight by the country Band Alabama. But the song is actually about Tennessee. Bama plays it for some reason. When TN beat Bama at TN this year UT started playing Dixieland Delight over the stadium speakers. That was also awesome. That is about @2:11 in your video.
My freshman year at UT was 1998, and I was on the 6th row 50 yard line (the student section used to be the best seats!) and I got to carry one out. Idk if words can describe how happy I am for younger UT fans who finally got to experience some 90s magic. What a game!
@@nicholasross498 that’s amazing. I’ve gone back and watched the old games of course and wondered what it was like to get to do that. It was a blessing to get to have that experience
Yes that’s the one where they threw the goalposts in the river! It was at the University of Tennessee. That was the first time we’d beaten Alabama (basically the Barcelona/PSG/Man U of college football) in like 16 years. It was the best experience I’ve ever had with sports in my life. Throwing the goalposts in the river is kind of a rare Tennessee tradition, that was the 3rd time we’ve done that😂 1st time was back in the 80s when we beat Alabama, 2nd time was in 1998 after we beat Florida, then this year after Alabama again. It’s usually after just a really big win at home. We had been so bad for so long and we finally had a really good season so as you can see, all hell broke loose!
@@billy9497able I was in the living room with my dad and when McGrath kicked it and I saw it was going straight, I just kinda melted out of my chair onto my knees. When I saw the refs’ arms go up, I just collapsed on the floor and started cry-laughing😂
There is normally an away band at every game. Normally they travel to away game within the conference not the entire country. However, most big schools will play out of conference & can be quite far. Exceptions might be a very small college might have no band or one that doesn't travel. I had gone to many college games when younger. It is good to view it through fresh eyes with you guys. I have become very jaded to it all at one time.
I'm a Michigan fan but I've always loved the history of the Tennessee Volunteers since it represents Americans at their best. So I've always thought it was a great team name.
Contrary to what others have said, there are designated away sections in college football stadiums. It's just that nothing stops away supporters from purchasing tickets on the secondary market that home fans have put on sale. Another good example of designated sections are for neutral site games. Such as the Red River Rivalry where University of Oklahoma and University of Texas fans are divide the tickets equally in a 96,000 seat stadium.
To not have anything Georgia on here is a crime. Back to back(to back?) National Champions and we have amazing stadium traditions. From the Battle Hymn to lighting it up for the 4th quarter it's a goosebump fest.
The 'goal post' game was last seasons defaet of Alabama by the University of Tennessee, Neyland (102k) located on the Tennessee River in Knoxville, you can arrive by boat is so inclined. Check the viseo of that game/celevration.
Probably because the original video got a strike for a trademarked song, so they just muted it. It happens from time-to-time during these types of videos. No worries.
The atmospheres are great, but the videos about traditions are so unique -- a buffalo on the field, a chuck wagon parading around after a score, etc. -- you guys would love those. YT channel: RSHighlights. "Best Traditions..." (I'd do Parts 1 & 2 together; they're not terribly long & Part 2 is more unique.)
It's definetley because during the song the students chant F**** Auburn there biggest rival for about a minute straight at every game not just against auburn (Little Brother). Thats why the screen in the stadium has a big beat auburn and the loud speakers in the stadium pump in "beat Auburn" so they can continue to play the song without getting shut down by the university.
Y’all this is so precious. I have no idea how I ended up on videos of Brit’s reacting to college football but I love it. Come to Ohio and do the buckeye experience. Go to the skull session beforehand to really enjoy the band and then walk over to the stadium with everyone.
That team's fans tearing down the goalposts was the University of Tennessee. That was a regular season game but it had two things going for it. It is a rivalry game and they had lost it the prior 15 years straight to my team, the University of Alabama. They finally broke the streak and went nuts.
That's the song Tennessee played after beating Alabama. Don't know if you muted or video you watched muted, they change the line to F Auburn, LSU and Tennessee to which is why it was so sweet to play it in Knoxville. About the 6th video
8:07. Home of the Alabama Crimson Tide, who won 6 championships between 2009 and 2020 (next door neighbor Georgia won the last 2) as well as another 6 between 1961 and 1979.
Tennessee fans pulled the goalposts down because they had just beaten number 1 Alabama for the first time in 15 years. They had to pay an over $200, 000 fine for allowing a crowd on the field (as if they could stop it!).
Just a note about VT ( Virgina Tech) you said "even the band was jumping", that first image was not the band jumping, they were cadets. VT is a military school, so they have military like uniforms with ranks etc.
Yes we chucked that goal post in the river. Yes it's the most insane game of college football you'll ever watch. Highly recommend watching the Tennessee vs alabama 2022 game.
Also the one about Tennessee ( the first orange one) they were ripping it down because it was the first time we beat our biggest rival ( Alabama) in 15 years!
The Tennessee game (Orange) was just this past year! Our game against Alabama! It was our first win in 17 years against them!!! The Tennessee River is right behind the stadium!!!!! Go Big Orange!!!🧡
When Tennessee beat Alabama last year, they sang Dixieland Delight (which is actually about Tennessee) to make fun of Alabama right before they tore down the goal post broke it apart and threw some of it in the river. This only happened because Tennessee hadn't beaten Alabama since 2006.
Tearing down the goal posts has been going on for a century or more. It usually happens when you beat a rival at home. Over the past decades, schools have discouraged it; they greased them, put guards around them, lowered them, etc.
It’s a crazy comparison to British sports Pushpak. One time, the goal posts were pulled down and it made the National Newspapers and they were looking to issue stadium bans etc
That game, in particular, was Tennessee beating their rival Alabama for the first time since 2006. Since then, Alabama has won 6 national championships and played for 3 more. I was at the game, and I saw sobbing in the stands. I just wish Alabama had made the kick 30 seconds before.
Tennessee vs Alabama game this year was the one where they ripped the poles down. First time tennessee had beat alabama in over 10 years so they partied hard.
Tennessee fan here! Taking down the goal posts is not a normal thing but we have done it like three times. We beat our rivals for the first time in 15 years so celebrations go out of hand. We took both posts, one ended up in the river and the other went to a frat house where we cut it in pieces as a souvenir. I have a piece 😂
LSU has some great traditions, Garth Brooks's "Callin' Baton Rouge" is one of them. LSU also has a live tiger, beautiful animal in a beautiful enclosure (I'm sure there's a video somewhere). They put him in a travel cage and transport him from his enclosure to the stadium across the street and park him by the gate the opposing team comes out of. One of the things I like about LSU is that they have their own music, aside from "Tiger Rag".
I know they never force Mike into the trailer now and they certainly don't ride him around the stadium with the cheerleaders on top. Mike does have a beautiful large enclosure with grass, shade and a pool. Pictures of Mike are posted on Instagram daily.
They retired the Mike ride before we got the new tiger, he stays in his habitat all the time now. I get why they didn't show neck though for the LSU traditions lol
Yall need to do a part 2. Texas A&M aggie here and our traditions are crazy and cultish I love it. For example the night before the game, all the students meet in the stadium at midnight and we practice our chants... Our fight song and band are both incredible as well.
I’m a born n raised Texas Longhorns fan and that was awesome when Texas A&M’s fans used to sway back and forth in the whole stadium doing the “saw ‘em off” thing! I live in Colorado and love when the CU Buffs run out with the live Buffalo Ralphie!
I live in a tiny town in Tennessee near the high school. Every Friday night you can hear the fireworks from our house when the game starts and the train whistle when they score.
@@DNReacts all the alumni would go back to our high school games yes, but I live in a different town now. I haven’t been to this one but I know most of the alumni. You usually start going when your kid starts attending the younger school if you’re not from the town originally. The little kids love going and running around at the games. Nothing like college football though. But it still means a lot in our town. It would actually really benefit the schools here if they combined but they keep voting against It because of football rivalries. 😂 I had a good friend that was a die hard Aston Villa fan. Always trying to educate me on the greatness of soccer. Saw him again a while back and mentioned something about Aston villa he quickly corrected me…said he finally made It to a college game and there’s no comparison. He’s a college football fan now 😂
The reason they are all home team crowds is the geographical size difference between here and UK. I'm amazed at the amount of teams in EPL because the entire league travels the same distance as just one of our states. It's common for teams here in the same division to be 1000-1500 miles apart. The equivalent of traveling from London to Warsaw or Moscow. The fanbase is usually the entire state.
When you guys finally make it to a game plan on going early to tailgate. Beer, BBQ & music hrs before the game outside the stadium . As a season tic holder I've got your tickets in the bag if you can make it to the east coast Boys !!
There's nothing like the blood feud of The University of Texas versus The University of Oklahoma. Played on a neutral site in Dallas almost exactly halfway between the two schools, the stadium is split 50/50 along the 50 yard line. In my younger days there were almost as many Dallas cops as stadium personnel because of fight in and under the stands. No love was lost there. It made for more than an electric atmosphere, knowing that at any moment the lubricity of alcohol might necessitate swift reaction.
Every stadium has a section designated for the schools students, called the students section for obvious reasons. That is the section of the stands that usually is the craziest!!
Tennessee/Alabama game. Tennessee beat Alabama for the first time in like 16 years, yes pieces of the goalpost went into the Tennessee river. Neyland is one of the few college towns with the stadium on the river.
2:15, that was in fact, not at the end of the season. Tennessee fans ripping down the goal post (which where burried in the ground) only happened once before. For context they had taken down Nick Sabans 7 time nation championship alabama team.
When you do college marching bands, I strongly recommend you look at Ohio State University and their ramp entrance to the field and spelling Ohio in the pregame show.
Kind of weird that they showed two Tennessee clips (the orange with the checkerboard endzones) where the whole stadium was orange; they're better known for doing a checkerboard pattern in the stands (depending on which section you're in, you're told to wear either orange or white). A few others do similar occasionally - I think you can kind of see the maroon-and-orange alternating pattern in the Virginia Tech clip, and Iowa does the same with black-and-yellow - but I believe Tennessee is the original, certainly the best known for it. Rushing the field and taking down the goalposts after a major win is discouraged for safety reasons and doesn't happen nearly as much anymore, but it does happen. My favorite instance of it has to be when the *away* fans did it at a Minnesota-Iowa game, back when Minnesota used to play at the Metrodome (an indoor stadium that had an inflatable roof; the entrances were mostly revolving doors to manage airflow). The Iowa fans never did figure out how to get the posts out of the stadium and ended up just doing laps around the field.
If you guys get the chance I would strongly encourage you to make the trip over here at some point. There's a number of amazing programs to check out, you can't go wrong. College athletics are an awe inspiring sight here
I’m not sure if I’ve said it here but I live about 45 minutes north of Virginia Tech and when you’re just OUTSIDE of the stadium when the Hokies take the field and Enter Sandman is playing you can feel the ground shaking
10:56 If you guys are planning on watching the MLB playoffs the Atlanta Braves have the exact same tomahawk-chop and chant because of their Indian heritage. Atlanta started the tomahawk-chop but the city didn't adopt the chant until Deion Sanders brought it with him from his college days at Florida State. As you guys probably know, Primetime was a dual sport athlete playing football and baseball. He signed with the Braves in 1991. When that chant gets going in the playoffs it's a powerful thing.
I think those were ROTC students, not the band haha Also surprisingly, a lot of the stuff you see them holding like the pom-poms or whatever, they're usually free
The crowd singing Shout at Oregon might have a connection to the movie Animal House. I think it was filmed there and there is a famous scene with this song.
You should react to the army vs navy intro videos. Some will make you cry. The only game where those on the field are willing to die for everyone in the stands.
The Wisconsin Jump Around video was from 2011 when they were taking on Nebraska (Wisconsin dominated them ftr), they've been doing that since the 90's, structural engineers have to inspect the stadium just so they can jump around XD!
I stumbled upon your channel by accident and have now subscribed. I love it! We take for granted the things that happen in our college and NFL games. It's cool to see them through your eyes. Have you guys ever shared your names?
I'm in the same boat with european "football". I understand England's culture pretty well. Just learning about the other countries now and how it all ties together, past and present. It's awesome. Tha ks for showing an interest in our sports.
The team at the 10:57 mark in the video is my school, Florida State University. Sad that they don't show the whole game opening because it's one of the best in the nation. You need to see the spear plant and hear the war chant and fight song. You guessed right on the marching band as it's the largest in the nation and the School of Music writes most of their list.
Speaking from experience: Jump Around is an amazing atmosphere, especially at night, but it kills your knees. The student section stands the whole game, so, you tend to be tired when the third quarter finally comes to an end. Totally worth it though!
And I think it’s great that if you happen to be sitting next to the box seats, you can see the really old folks up there doing their best to jump around too. Maybe they can only raise their hands a little bit in rhythm with everyone else but they’re doing their best! 😂 Love the Jump Around!
I’m a native Texan living in Colorado, I love my Texas Longhorns intro but here in Colorado it’s definitely The CU Buffaloes intro-Running into the stadium with Ralphie the Buffalo!!
Do you have access to live games via ESPN or other streaming source? Hope you can find a way to access a few this fall. On weekends here, when a regional game is aired, street traffic dwindles and retail employees are mostly idle. Many of the games are available to our overseas troops.
If you ever do go to a college football game, go to an Ohio St vs Michigan game. It’s the single greatest rivalry in sports. The two states almost had a literal war over some land. It happens at the end of the season too which means it normally decides who goes to the Big 10 championship game. While the game alone is crazy, the band for Ohio St is probably the best in the country. Watching them perform Script Ohio is beautiful.

This is coming from a diehard Florida Gator fan where we have our own traditions so it may sound like sacrilege to some, but the best tradition in college football is at Iowa. Since the completion of the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital overlooking Kinnick Stadium, Iowa has honored the young patients in an extremely unique way. At the end of the first quarter of every home game, both home and away fans, coaches and players turn and face the hospital and wave (those in the stands during night games usually with lighted cell phones) to patients and their families watching the game from the hospital.
20+ year UCLA season ticket holder here. I could not agree with you more. It’s a new tradition when compared to other schools traditions but I think it is the greatest.
Just graduated from Iowa a few months ago, and I completely agree! I went to most of the home games this year and it was super special every time 💛🖤 Go Hawks!
A lot of the traditions are a little song or storming the field… But that tradition? I’m not even an Iowa fan and it’s by far my favorite. That tradition means something to so many people, not just the ones in the stadium.
As a Buckeye fan I agree… the wave is heart melting
I second this statement.
You guys should look up the "Iowa wave" where they wave to the kids at the children's hostpital overlooking the field and Utahs "moment of Loudness: which they created after they had two players killed by guns in the same year. Moment of loudness always gives me chills
The goalpost came down at Tennessee because that was the first time we beat Alabama in 16 years (they have had a college dynasty for a long time under their head coach Nick Saban). It was one of the craziest games of football I’ve ever watched pro or college. And yes they did throw the goalpost in the river. The university actually started a gofundme to pay for the fine for storming the field and repair the goalpost and it filled in an hour or 2. I’m pretty sure they actually just donated that money as the University isn’t really hurting for the money.
Roll Tide!
That's how we feel when we beat Bama too 😂 #GeauxLSU
Good ‘Ole Rocky Top!!! Whooooo!
GBO
One of the greatest days of my life, standing on that field enjoying a nice cigar
Re: Florida State... don't mind the band... it's Chief Osceola on Renegade with the flaming spear!
The video where they were tearing the goal post down was against my school, Alabama. It was the first time they beat us in 15 or so years. Needless to say, they were excited.
I could tell 😂
@@DNReacts As a Tennessee fan - the team who beat Alabama in that game and tore the goal post down - it was more than just "they hadn't beaten us in 15 years." Alabama has been consistently ranked #1 in the nation for those 15 years, while Tennessee has been going through major ups and downs with different coaches every couple years. The game meant a lot more than just beating a team we haven't beaten in a while. It meant that we as a team are back on the right track to compete in our conference again. It was also the first time in a long time our fan base had ANYTHING to be super excited about. Also, you asked how close the river is - the stadium quite literally sits on the river. The "Vol Navy" actually tailgates the games from their boats. It's Neyland Stadium if you want to google maps. Idk if it's still there, but after the game someone added the goal post as a map pin lol.
At the Virginia Tech college football games when everyone starts jumping to Enter Sandman, it has shown up on seismographs a small earthquakes. Go Hokies
Go Hokies!
Oh and yes, this is true. There's a video on TH-cam where you can watch them measure it during a game. Its pretty cool! And Metallica is performing at Virginia Tech's Lane Stadium in May!
Best tradition. The pageantry of the Army/Navy game. Longest and the best tradition in sport’s history. Give it a look. I promise. It’ll send chills down your spine
Thanks Richard. Sounds incredible! I’ve added to the list
Sports
It’s a wonderful tradition! The broadcasters recently have said it’s the only game where all the players have sworn to give their lives for the fans if needed. Maybe the Air Force Academy players would beg to differ, but it’s a wonderful thought just the same.
So fun, I love the POW exchange before the game to bring back their fellow soldiers.
Sandstorm at University of South Carolina is one of the best college football traditions. When we play well the energy in our stadium is unmatched. It is so fun
Jump Around by "The House of Pain" at the end of the 3rd quarter at University of Wisconsin Football Games is totally unbelievable. Even the upper deck and press box shakes....the University had structural engineers make sure it was safe...
The Va Tech Hokies (burgundy uniforms) you saw had soldiers in blue uniforms. These are students who decided to join in the military with a scholarship after going physical and mental testing. A part of the school is a military academy. The cadets go to normal classes and stay in separate dormitories so they can receive extra training. After they graduate, they become officers in different arm forces (Navy, Air Force, Army, Marines).
Virginia Tech's uniforms are not burgundy, but are maroon or to be most precise, Chicago Maroon. I don't know why, and neither does my nephew and his wife who are Tech alumni!
@Gordon Schultz Thank you for the correction. I am Hokie grad myself. BS in Math minor in English with an education portion. I was going to be a math teacher. I got scared because I didn't know if I could be a good teacher as I was so young. My sister was joining Navy as she couldn't afford the rest of college. She's a Hokie too. She and I joined. She managed to get a scholarship by becoming a cadet after boot camp. It took me a few tries while enlisted. My boot camp commanders told I was an idiot because I believed the enlisted recruiter when I drove my sister there. I enlisted, too. They told me to put in for OCS. I got my commission. Long storie into how I eventually became submarine warfare officer. I served ten years.
Hi, I enjoyed reading your reply. My youngest nephew (38 yo) and his wife both graduated from Tech. I graduated from VCU a long time ago. When I first came to Richmond, people always referred to Virginia Tech as VPI. Thank you for your service.
When I was little we called Va Tech "VIPPY SUE" for VPI&SU - Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The story of "Skipper" the cannon is pretty cool (unless you are from VMI)
VA Tech is one of a handful (literally-I think there are just five) senior military colleges remaining in the U.S. Perhaps the best known is Texas A&M University, whose band perform halftime super-precision marching drills that defy the laws of physics, definitely worth a watch by these guys, although halftime shows are not quite in their wheelhouse.
At 2 mins the goalpost stuff #6Tennessee vs #3Alabama in middle of season. TN hadn’t beat Bama in 15 years (ridiculous). Beautiful day/night. Sold out 101,915 in attendance. Amazing game tied 49-49 with 2 seconds left. TN made the game winning FG and that’s when the fireworks go off and crowd starts rushing the field. It was awesome.
refs won them the game and tn fans act like they won the superbowl. no wonder that poverty ass school hasn't won shit in two decades
Go Vols!!
A rare occasion for Tennessee
@@Jeffbambam Rare occasion anytime Alabama loses to anyone.😊
Then Morgan wallen trolled Alabama right after the game finished pretty much with that song
Well done. Definitely check out the Ohio State Marching Band -- Hollywood Blockbusters -- is considered one of the best. They also performed at Wembley several years ago (halftime of an NFL game) with a tribute to British Rock. And . . . Texas A&M Marching Band -- every show amazing -- series of intricate patterns on the field. Enjoying your channel. Fun to see new people discover the spectacle and excitement of college football.
Thanks TB. Appreciate the words. We’ve got bands added to the list! Ohio does seem to be a popular one. Texas A&M too.
@@DNReactsOhio State’s band actually did a combined performance this season with my school’s band, The university of Iowa Hawkeye marching band, and it was an Elton John tribute show! It was super cool and he even tweeted about it!
@@DNReacts A big tradition for the OSU marching band is their Script Ohio, played as part of the pre game, halftime, or after a home game. It's a favorite formation of many fans, so definitely check it out!
That's right. That must have been fun over at wembley.
@@cpanther18that was beautiful.
I love the fact that the video had to go silent for Alabama's Dixieland Delight lol, one of the most underrated traditions.
loved that tennessee game too
It's a weird tradition since the song is written by a Tennessean about Tennessee.
@@satalacBy a band called Alabama
@@satalacwell the Vols definitely aren’t a Dixieland delight with football are they? Only beat us once in 16 years. I will say rocky top is probably the best tradition in CFB tho.
Old times are not forgotten gig em ags
The team names of college teams are often about their states identity. For example Tennessee is the volunteer state because so many Tennesseans have served in the military during war. Ohio is the buckeye state named after the common buckeye tree which produces a nut that looks like a chestnut. Indiana is the Hoosier state based on a common greeting “whose here” from the 1800s. Oklahoma is the Sooner state. North Carolina is the Tarheel state. And so on. The names often have historical significance that is a matter of state pride.
Thanks for the info, that’s really interesting!
The Sooner state because during the period of US sending citizens to go out west into newly acquired territory, they arranged for a time for people to set off to make it fair. The Sooners were the people who cheated and left early. Ha.
Tennessee is the Volunteer State because of the War of 1812 exclusively
And Michigan is the Great Lakes state because of all the water
My friends and I like to take credit for starting the choreography to the video you saw with Sandstorm! It was the original one, before the remix, but it used to be just people jumping and waving towels. We started doing a pattern during the build-up and over the season the entire student section and stadium started to adopt it. Now we've graduated and its still a tradition!
I love that story 😂 what an incredible atmosphere!
Hey fellow Gamecock . Great post.. Forever to Thee
Around what year did you start that? My friends and I started doing it/something similar in the part of the student section over by the band around the 2012 and 2013 seasons 🙂🐔🤙
@@katiel.3417 that seems to be around the same time we were doing it. It was me, 3 women on the softball team, and a friend from the campus ministry I attended, so about 5 of us in total.
Hey. I’ll take credit for something. It was me that told Dave Odom to let the team stay on the court when we sing the alma mater after basketball games. He was at the Russell House asking for input on how to connect with the fans. That has since become big for multiple sports.
The Ohio State vs Michigan football game is known as "The Game" and is considered the largest rivalry in all of sports. They have 2 of the 3 largest stadiums in the country and it's always an incredible game. If you want a game to come to, come on out to the largest stadium in the country! Michigan vs OSU is at Michigan in 2023
Depends on year but this year it definitely number 1. SEC down this season and the Pac 12 is beating them self up this year. But Michigan vs Ohio St is definitely going to be the game of the regular season
Down South nobody cares about that game. 😂
Because OSU lost to Michigan!!!!!
@@gretacarrick5934 demonstrably false, most watched regular season game by FAR. Regular season game with more views than the SEC championship.
It's called The Game for a reason.
If you call cheating winning, sure…..
Yes it was Bama vs Tennessee, Tennessee hadn't beat Bama in like 15 years, I'm a Bama fan..but they threw the goal post in the river, and they tracked it online for a few days lol..had updates were it was
Didn’t know it was tracked for days 🤣 That’s brilliant. We actually watched that game and also the aftermath across 2 videos on the channel. Incredible atmosphere. Appreciate the comment 🤝
Was randomly looking up videos on TH-cam and found your channel. This is actually my video I put together, what are the odds! Was in person for the Tennessee game with the goal post being torn down, the LSU game in the video, and a few more. Glad ya'll liked it!
Ahh that’s great Paul! Really enjoyed the video, the scenes at Tennessee were crazy 😂
@@DNReacts Tn fan here and to answer your question the $50,000 goal posts were thrown into the Cumberland River which is about 100 meters away. The university was fined $250,000 for this event but NOBODY can stop 107,000 Vol fans in victory mode. Rare event as they are so costly and last time they threw posts in the river was 1998 along with a $50,000 tv camera into the river.
yea i was looking for enter sandman reactions and found them
The insanity when they play Sandstorm at the start of every University of South Carolina home game is without parallel, and that doesn't even include when the team enters through a wall of smoke to Strauss' "Also Sprach Zarathustra" (aka the theme to 2001" A Space Odyssey).
The second stadium is Tennessee. They best Alabama for the first time in years and tore down the posts. The Tennessee River is right outside the stadium in Knoxville Tennessee. The stadium also seats over 100,000.
The song at @9:13 is at Alabama called Dixieland Delight by the country Band Alabama. But the song is actually about Tennessee. Bama plays it for some reason. When TN beat Bama at TN this year UT started playing Dixieland Delight over the stadium speakers. That was also awesome. That is about @2:11 in your video.
The band is Alabama though
@@collegefootballessential2601 yes…I said that in my first sentence. They also have Tennessee River as one of their songs.
I was lucky enough to be at the Tennessee bama game and help carry the goalposts off the field. Amazing
My freshman year at UT was 1998, and I was on the 6th row 50 yard line (the student section used to be the best seats!) and I got to carry one out. Idk if words can describe how happy I am for younger UT fans who finally got to experience some 90s magic. What a game!
@@nicholasross498 that’s amazing. I’ve gone back and watched the old games of course and wondered what it was like to get to do that. It was a blessing to get to have that experience
To bad the Dawgs helped shorten the season for yall 😂
Yes that’s the one where they threw the goalposts in the river! It was at the University of Tennessee. That was the first time we’d beaten Alabama (basically the Barcelona/PSG/Man U of college football) in like 16 years. It was the best experience I’ve ever had with sports in my life. Throwing the goalposts in the river is kind of a rare Tennessee tradition, that was the 3rd time we’ve done that😂 1st time was back in the 80s when we beat Alabama, 2nd time was in 1998 after we beat Florida, then this year after Alabama again. It’s usually after just a really big win at home. We had been so bad for so long and we finally had a really good season so as you can see, all hell broke loose!
I love that it was the third time you’d chucked them into the river 😂 Quality!
Beautiful game. I remember us and all of our neighbors just screaming back in forth in excitement. It was really a special moment.
@@DNReacts it just makes sense honestly. you take them down, walk through the streets half a mile to the river and just throw them in😂😂
@@billy9497able I was in the living room with my dad and when McGrath kicked it and I saw it was going straight, I just kinda melted out of my chair onto my knees. When I saw the refs’ arms go up, I just collapsed on the floor and started cry-laughing😂
I am with all of these comments. It’s def a game you should react to the highlights of.
There is normally an away band at every game. Normally they travel to away game within the conference not the entire country. However, most big schools will play out of conference & can be quite far. Exceptions might be a very small college might have no band or one that doesn't travel. I had gone to many college games when younger. It is good to view it through fresh eyes with you guys. I have become very jaded to it all at one time.
Thank you for the comment and context, appreciate it!
You know it’s good when the Tennessee Volunteers are on the thumbnail 😃
I've always loved the checkerboard end zones.😀
I'm a Michigan fan but I've always loved the history of the Tennessee Volunteers since it represents Americans at their best. So I've always thought it was a great team name.
@@williamhamilton6643 For me, I've always gotten a bigger thrill out of a college football game then a NFL game.
The Penn State White Out almost always makes a Top 10 list of most intimidating places to play in College Football, it's absolute madness every time.
Contrary to what others have said, there are designated away sections in college football stadiums. It's just that nothing stops away supporters from purchasing tickets on the secondary market that home fans have put on sale. Another good example of designated sections are for neutral site games. Such as the Red River Rivalry where University of Oklahoma and University of Texas fans are divide the tickets equally in a 96,000 seat stadium.
Our local bar has a goal post in it from when the students tore it down and carried it downtown from campus, been there 40-50 years now
Can’t believe this video omitted WVU singing “Country Roads” after a home win. It’ll give ya chills.
Came to the comments to say this.
And we also burn couches😁
I don't know if that happens enough to constitute being a tradition... lol. ;)
When they took down the field goal post Tennessee beat Alabama first time since 2006. Bone chilling moment🔥
GO VOLS!!!!
To not have anything Georgia on here is a crime. Back to back(to back?) National Champions and we have amazing stadium traditions. From the Battle Hymn to lighting it up for the 4th quarter it's a goosebump fest.
(To getting beat by bama)
The 'goal post' game was last seasons defaet of Alabama by the University of Tennessee, Neyland (102k) located on the Tennessee River in Knoxville, you can arrive by boat is so inclined. Check the viseo of that game/celevration.
Apologies for the sound issues just after 8 minutes for around 15 seconds. We lost our sound too!!
Probably because the original video got a strike for a trademarked song, so they just muted it. It happens from time-to-time during these types of videos. No worries.
The atmospheres are great, but the videos about traditions are so unique -- a buffalo on the field, a chuck wagon parading around after a score, etc. -- you guys would love those. YT channel: RSHighlights. "Best Traditions..." (I'd do Parts 1 & 2 together; they're not terribly long & Part 2 is more unique.)
Find a video about our high-school stadiums. Some of them can handle a pro football crowd.
It's definetley because during the song the students chant F**** Auburn there biggest rival for about a minute straight at every game not just against auburn (Little Brother). Thats why the screen in the stadium has a big beat auburn and the loud speakers in the stadium pump in "beat Auburn" so they can continue to play the song without getting shut down by the university.
@@DTG_LOCKETT Hey, thanks for the suggestion. We've recorded and due out later this week!
Y’all this is so precious. I have no idea how I ended up on videos of Brit’s reacting to college football but I love it. Come to Ohio and do the buckeye experience. Go to the skull session beforehand to really enjoy the band and then walk over to the stadium with everyone.
Thank you so much for the comment, we really appreciate this. Glad you landed on our channel 🙏
That team's fans tearing down the goalposts was the University of Tennessee. That was a regular season game but it had two things going for it. It is a rivalry game and they had lost it the prior 15 years straight to my team, the University of Alabama. They finally broke the streak and went nuts.
Hopefully we can keep making it one of the best rivalries in college football
That's the song Tennessee played after beating Alabama. Don't know if you muted or video you watched muted, they change the line to F Auburn, LSU and Tennessee to which is why it was so sweet to play it in Knoxville. About the 6th video
8:07. Home of the Alabama Crimson Tide, who won 6 championships between 2009 and 2020 (next door neighbor Georgia won the last 2) as well as another 6 between 1961 and 1979.
Tennessee fans pulled the goalposts down because they had just beaten number 1 Alabama for the first time in 15 years. They had to pay an over $200, 000 fine for allowing a crowd on the field (as if they could stop it!).
Just a note about VT ( Virgina Tech) you said "even the band was jumping", that first image was not the band jumping, they were cadets. VT is a military school, so they have military like uniforms with ranks etc.
Ahhh that makes sense! Thank you for letting us know 😀
VT is not a military school.
Yes we chucked that goal post in the river. Yes it's the most insane game of college football you'll ever watch. Highly recommend watching the Tennessee vs alabama 2022 game.
Also the one about Tennessee ( the first orange one) they were ripping it down because it was the first time we beat our biggest rival ( Alabama) in 15 years!
Heard about this, sounds like one crazy party! Understandable too
It definitely was! I was there but my parents didn’t let me go on the Feild
The ripping the poles down was Tennessee fans after beating Alabama. They had another home game the next weekend.
The Tennessee game (Orange) was just this past year! Our game against Alabama! It was our first win in 17 years against them!!! The Tennessee River is right behind the stadium!!!!! Go Big Orange!!!🧡
When Tennessee beat Alabama last year, they sang Dixieland Delight (which is actually about Tennessee) to make fun of Alabama right before they tore down the goal post broke it apart and threw some of it in the river. This only happened because Tennessee hadn't beaten Alabama since 2006.
Tearing down the goal posts has been going on for a century or more. It usually happens when you beat a rival at home. Over the past decades, schools have discouraged it; they greased them, put guards around them, lowered them, etc.
It’s a crazy comparison to British sports Pushpak. One time, the goal posts were pulled down and it made the National Newspapers and they were looking to issue stadium bans etc
@@DNReacts 😂
That game, in particular, was Tennessee beating their rival Alabama for the first time since 2006. Since then, Alabama has won 6 national championships and played for 3 more.
I was at the game, and I saw sobbing in the stands. I just wish Alabama had made the kick 30 seconds before.
Tennessee vs Alabama game this year was the one where they ripped the poles down. First time tennessee had beat alabama in over 10 years so they partied hard.
They looked like they were ready to party
@@DNReacts if your looking at college games to watch that one was labeled as one of the games of the year.
You guys absolutely have to check out the video where Michigan calls a timeout on the first play of their game @ Penn state. Best college football vid
I need to find that. I don’t recall this. Go Blue!
Tennessee fan here! Taking down the goal posts is not a normal thing but we have done it like three times. We beat our rivals for the first time in 15 years so celebrations go out of hand. We took both posts, one ended up in the river and the other went to a frat house where we cut it in pieces as a souvenir. I have a piece 😂
1:42 my home!!! VFL yes we did throw it in the river. Major win for us
LSU has some great traditions, Garth Brooks's "Callin' Baton Rouge" is one of them. LSU also has a live tiger, beautiful animal in a beautiful enclosure (I'm sure there's a video somewhere). They put him in a travel cage and transport him from his enclosure to the stadium across the street and park him by the gate the opposing team comes out of. One of the things I like about LSU is that they have their own music, aside from "Tiger Rag".
Thanks for the info!
I know they never force Mike into the trailer now and they certainly don't ride him around the stadium with the cheerleaders on top. Mike does have a beautiful large enclosure with grass, shade and a pool. Pictures of Mike are posted on Instagram daily.
They retired the Mike ride before we got the new tiger, he stays in his habitat all the time now. I get why they didn't show neck though for the LSU traditions lol
Yall need to do a part 2. Texas A&M aggie here and our traditions are crazy and cultish I love it. For example the night before the game, all the students meet in the stadium at midnight and we practice our chants... Our fight song and band are both incredible as well.
No other school with more pointless traditions than AM
Isn’t Texas A&M the school that is kind of overboard crazy racist? That’s how it is viewed in Canada.
I’m a born n raised Texas Longhorns fan and that was awesome when Texas A&M’s fans used to sway back and forth in the whole stadium doing the “saw ‘em off” thing! I live in Colorado and love when the CU Buffs run out with the live Buffalo Ralphie!
I live in a tiny town in Tennessee near the high school. Every Friday night you can hear the fireworks from our house when the game starts and the train whistle when they score.
I’m not surprised Bonnie. The noise is incredible. Do you ever go to the matches?
@@DNReacts all the alumni would go back to our high school games yes, but I live in a different town now. I haven’t been to this one but I know most of the alumni. You usually start going when your kid starts attending the younger school if you’re not from the town originally. The little kids love going and running around at the games. Nothing like college football though. But it still means a lot in our town. It would actually really benefit the schools here if they combined but they keep voting against It because of football rivalries. 😂 I had a good friend that was a die hard Aston Villa fan. Always trying to educate me on the greatness of soccer. Saw him again a while back and mentioned something about Aston villa he quickly corrected me…said he finally made It to a college game and there’s no comparison. He’s a college football fan now 😂
Missing the Iowa Hawkeyes Wave. It's honestly the best thing in sports imo. Really touching. I really recommend doing a reaction to it.
Thanks Vohras. Added to the list!
React to what? It’s literally people waving
The children's hospital overlooks the stadium and they are waving to all the kids battling cancer and lifting their spirits.
The reason they are all home team crowds is the geographical size difference between here and UK. I'm amazed at the amount of teams in EPL because the entire league travels the same distance as just one of our states. It's common for teams here in the same division to be 1000-1500 miles apart. The equivalent of traveling from London to Warsaw or Moscow. The fanbase is usually the entire state.
When you guys finally make it to a game plan on going early to tailgate. Beer, BBQ & music hrs before the game outside the stadium .
As a season tic holder I've got your tickets in the bag if you can make it to the east coast Boys !!
That would be awesome Robert! We really hope the channel takes off and we can be in a position to travel out 🤞
That was the alabama game…. That Tennessee took the goal post down…
There's nothing like the blood feud of The University of Texas versus The University of Oklahoma. Played on a neutral site in Dallas almost exactly halfway between the two schools, the stadium is split 50/50 along the 50 yard line. In my younger days there were almost as many Dallas cops as stadium personnel because of fight in and under the stands. No love was lost there. It made for more than an electric atmosphere, knowing that at any moment the lubricity of alcohol might necessitate swift reaction.
Hook Em!!!!!

Thank you Chad. We’ve got plenty more to come!
Tennessee/Alabama game. Tennessee beat Alabama for the first time in like 16 years, yes pieces of the goalpost went into the Tennessee river. Neyland is one of the few college towns with the stadium on the river.
2:15, that was in fact, not at the end of the season. Tennessee fans ripping down the goal post (which where burried in the ground) only happened once before. For context they had taken down Nick Sabans 7 time nation championship alabama team.
Thank you for the context, we really appreciate it 🤝
@@DNReacts My civic duty as an American has been forfilled. I may finally rest in peace.
When you do college marching bands, I strongly recommend you look at Ohio State University and their ramp entrance to the field and spelling Ohio in the pregame show.
Thank you for the suggestion, added to the list!
Despite the relatively small size of Autzen Stadium (Oregon) at 60,000, it is one of the loudest crowd wise and has recorded a SPL of over 127 db.

It’s an incredible atmosphere Austin!
Most of those people hav been having tailgate parties all day barbecuing and having a great day. Great video guys!
Thanks you Mark! I want to tailgate!!
Kind of weird that they showed two Tennessee clips (the orange with the checkerboard endzones) where the whole stadium was orange; they're better known for doing a checkerboard pattern in the stands (depending on which section you're in, you're told to wear either orange or white). A few others do similar occasionally - I think you can kind of see the maroon-and-orange alternating pattern in the Virginia Tech clip, and Iowa does the same with black-and-yellow - but I believe Tennessee is the original, certainly the best known for it.
Rushing the field and taking down the goalposts after a major win is discouraged for safety reasons and doesn't happen nearly as much anymore, but it does happen. My favorite instance of it has to be when the *away* fans did it at a Minnesota-Iowa game, back when Minnesota used to play at the Metrodome (an indoor stadium that had an inflatable roof; the entrances were mostly revolving doors to manage airflow). The Iowa fans never did figure out how to get the posts out of the stadium and ended up just doing laps around the field.
I loved this video it was wonderful I’m glad y’all are enjoying the College Football Videos
Thank you Strider. Glad you’re enjoying them. Plenty more on the way!

We would absolutely love this! Ultimate goal for us. If we can ever go full time we 100% want to do this.
9:08 is where I spent every Saturday home game for 4 years. Roll Tide!!!
One thing you guys should review: The baylor line. Close to 1000 students dressed in Gold running onto the field to start the game. incredible.
Been to a USC game, done the darude chant, top 5 things I've ever done.
NICE reaction videos also attending the BoomBox Classic with Southern playing Jackson State is awesome
The party starts hours before with the tailgating in the parking lot! Food and fun for all 😂
The largest US stadiums are all for college football. Many hold more than 100,000 while NFL stadiums are in the 69-70,000 range.
I believe the goal post game was when Univ of Tennessee beat Alabama after losing to them for 16 years in a row.
I’m not sure if I’ve said it here but I live about 45 minutes north of Virginia Tech and when you’re just OUTSIDE of the stadium when the Hokies take the field and Enter Sandman is playing you can feel the ground shaking
You need to look at Colorado University's mascot "Ralphie" the buffalo that leads the team out onto the field.
Thank you for the suggestion, have added to the list!
That's my alma mater. Ralphie's entrance was always exciting.
Go Blue! (Michigan) love meeee some Mr.Brightside. Every time they cut the music and we keep singing. It gives me goosebumps.
10:56 If you guys are planning on watching the MLB playoffs the Atlanta Braves have the exact same tomahawk-chop and chant because of their Indian heritage. Atlanta started the tomahawk-chop but the city didn't adopt the chant until Deion Sanders brought it with him from his college days at Florida State. As you guys probably know, Primetime was a dual sport athlete playing football and baseball. He signed with the Braves in 1991. When that chant gets going in the playoffs it's a powerful thing.
Watching Ralphie lead the Buffs out on to the field is second to none.
Ralphie leading team on field
Thanks for the comment Nathan, appreciate it 🙏
I think those were ROTC students, not the band haha
Also surprisingly, a lot of the stuff you see them holding like the pom-poms or whatever, they're usually free
Sandstorm at Williams-Brice Stadium in South Carolina at night is epic!
The Sandstorm is for the University of South Carolina. A towel for the cheer is placed on EVERY seat in the stadium for EVERY home game! It’s wild!
The crowd singing Shout at Oregon might have a connection to the movie Animal House. I think it was filmed there and there is a famous scene with this song.
You should react to the army vs navy intro videos. Some will make you cry. The only game where those on the field are willing to die for everyone in the stands.
This is called Saturday during the season. And this is after tailgating.
The crowd at the Oregon game was doing “Shout” which is in the film Animal House, which was shot on location at University of Oregon.
Ah, thank you for the context for that one 👍
At FSU, they pick a different senior every game to be the chief at home games ( the Indian you see on the horse at the beginning of the game)
The Wisconsin Jump Around video was from 2011 when they were taking on Nebraska (Wisconsin dominated them ftr), they've been doing that since the 90's, structural engineers have to inspect the stadium just so they can jump around XD!
Michigan stadium holds about 103,000 fans !!
Penn State has one “White Out” night game each year (autumn).
I stumbled upon your channel by accident and have now subscribed. I love it! We take for granted the things that happen in our college and NFL games. It's cool to see them through your eyes.

I'm in the same boat with european "football". I understand England's culture pretty well. Just learning about the other countries now and how it all ties together, past and present. It's awesome. Tha ks for showing an interest in our sports.
The team at the 10:57 mark in the video is my school, Florida State University. Sad that they don't show the whole game opening because it's one of the best in the nation. You need to see the spear plant and hear the war chant and fight song. You guessed right on the marching band as it's the largest in the nation and the School of Music writes most of their list.
Gotta check out best college basketball arenas. Also very wild. Looking forward to seein yall fill out a bracket.
Thank you Sam!
Speaking from experience: Jump Around is an amazing atmosphere, especially at night, but it kills your knees. The student section stands the whole game, so, you tend to be tired when the third quarter finally comes to an end. Totally worth it though!
And I think it’s great that if you happen to be sitting next to the box seats, you can see the really old folks up there doing their best to jump around too. Maybe they can only raise their hands a little bit in rhythm with everyone else but they’re doing their best! 😂 Love the Jump Around!
I’m a native Texan living in Colorado, I love my Texas Longhorns intro but here in Colorado it’s definitely The CU Buffaloes intro-Running into the stadium with Ralphie the Buffalo!!
Do you have access to live games via ESPN or other streaming source? Hope you can find a way to access a few this fall. On weekends here, when a regional game is aired, street traffic dwindles and retail employees are mostly idle. Many of the games are available to our overseas troops.
React to the Ohio State Marching Band. Also react to the Baylor Line. It’s exhilarating! We also have live bears on campus
Bands are in the list. Ohio very popular, could be where we start with bands
If you ever do go to a college football game, go to an Ohio St vs Michigan game. It’s the single greatest rivalry in sports. The two states almost had a literal war over some land. It happens at the end of the season too which means it normally decides who goes to the Big 10 championship game. While the game alone is crazy, the band for Ohio St is probably the best in the country. Watching them perform Script Ohio is beautiful.
Correction, did have a war. Michigan won, and Wisconsin lost.
