Btw the biggest rivals are correct but souther football rivalries are different alabama and auburn, lsu and alabama are some of the biggest rivalries in the south
If you do decide to go to a college game, be sure to do the tailgating stuff before the game. And don't be shy about it either. Just ask a group if you can join them, and jhst tell them you're from Portugal and they will more than likely gladly allow you to join their group for some free burgers, hotdogS, brats, or BBQ.
I'm a Michigan State fan. And yes, 8 of the 10 largest stadiums in the world by capacity are US college football - India has a larger cricket stadium, and North Korea claims to have a larger soccer stadium, but the next eight are Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas A&M, LSU, Tennessee, Texas, and Alabama. After that are the Melbourne Cricket Ground and Camp Nou. The largest NFL stadium would only be tied for 15th among college stadiums. The clips in this video were Virginia Tech, Florida State, Penn State, Clemson, Wisconsin (though that wasn't actually their entrance, that was what they do at the end of the third quarter), and Michigan.
Florida State seminoles are my go to. Im actually from michigan, but my brother goes to school there and got me hooked on them! The war chant is electrifying!
First clip - Virginia Tech (home) vs Clemson. They play in the same conference so they play each other nearly every year. Entrance music is Enter Sandman by Metallica
That entrance with the bus. The locker rooms are in the back of the stadium, the home team dresses and boards the team bus, which drives them around, through a throng of cheering fans, to let the team enter thru the main doors to go to the field. the visitors still enter from the back. Also, you asked why the irish flag was there, that was the visiting team, the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame fan section
Running down The Hill is a tradition that we kept from when our locker rooms were across the street at Fike Field House and the team just walked across the street, ran down a hill and into the stadium. It was the quickest way to the stadium back then. Now we make pageantry out of it. It's awesome
University of Maryland Terrapins - I have been to Virginia Tech for their entrance (the first one) and the stadium shakes and you can feel it. Also, my high school plays in the 3rd oldest high school rivalry in the country, dating back to the 1880s
PSU = Pennsylvania State University ("Penn State") 6:40 This is Penn State at Beaver Stadium. all of the fans dressed in white is referred to as a *_"Whiteout"._* i used to live about 3 miles (5 Km) from the stadium and my windows would rattle when there was a good play in the stadium. Beaver stadium holds a bit over 100,000 people.
Look up "The Ten Year War" Michigan vs Ohio State. The oldest and greatest rivalry in American sports. Michian and ohio since 1835. Before football there was a War. There is still one.
My high school (ages 15-18) was huge for American football. I was used to going to huge games, lots of fans, band, cheerleaders. But I chose a smaller college not known for sports (I mean, you go to college to learn, right?). But oh boy I missed out on these while I was young enough to really enjoy it. I've become an "honorary" fan of several universities, based on my husband's college, my friends' colleges. WHEN you visit the US (and you will), find someone in a town you want to visit, especially in the autumn (Aug-Dec) and see if you can get tickets to the university football game closest to you. Especially if you have a knowledgeable fan, you'll get the experience AND learn what a lot of these initials and rules mean. Because you asked, I'm a fan of University of Memphis (Tennessee) because my husband graduated there. Also a fan of University of Florida, University of Georgia (which is a head scratcher for many, because they are rivals). If you go to a Florida game, you learn the CHOMP (right arm out front high up, left out front down low, then close them together like an alligator would. They're the Gators). Oh, I also cheer for the Oregon Ducks, just because they're the DUCKS. Not Tigers, or Eagles, or Bulldogs....ducks. Come on. How tough is a duck? Well, pretty tough! The mascot does a pushup for every point the team makes. That can be a LOT of pushups in a big mascot costume! That's why I cheer them on. The game at 5:10 is Florida State Seminoles (a native tribe, thus the oh-oh-ohhh chant) versus Notre Dame "Fighting Irish" (thus the Irish flag). Yes, you boo the opposing team.
I went to New Mexico State University and we have a historically bad football program but this year we are having maybe our best year ever at 10-3 with a chance at a conference championship this Friday. I am so excited to finally have a good football team!! We had about 16,000 fans at our last home game which is obviously not a lot compared to bigger and better programs, but it’s still a huge improvement for us.
I'm for Duke University, we're not very good at football. We have one of the biggest rivalries against Chapel Hill, both teams are legacy programs in basketball. It gets wild in football, but also in a Duke v. UNC basketball game.
The first clip was of the Virginia Tech Hokies. They have been entering to Metallica's "Enter Sandman" for years. Most college games have a similar atmosphere with the fans psyching up the teams and the players following some tradition before they emerge from the tunnel. As a fan, I have several teams I like: University of Pittsburgh, USC, Notre Dame, and Florida State.
The Clemson Tigers one is awesome when the full Bus ride around the stadium to the top of the hill is incredible energy!You have to get that version of it !!!!
0:26 Michigan Wolverines who just won the national title , 1:29 Tennessee Volunteers it's really cool when they do each section in white or orange so it looks like a orange and white checker board, 2:09 When you beat a team that is ranked in the top 10 and you're not even ranked it is tradition to tear down the goal post when I was at the University of Missouri called "MIZZOU" we played Nebraska who was usually ranked in the top 10 we won and part of the goal post wound up in my fraternity's front yard , 2:33 Pennsylvania State Nittany Lions called Penn State and that is called a White out where everyone wears white , 3:48 Virginia Tech Hokkies, 5:30 South Carolina Gamecocks, 6:55 Wisconsin Badgers , 8:08 Alabama Crimson Tide one of the best in college football they have multiple titles , 8:53 Louisiana State University Tigers and they are very good every year and they have multiple titles as well , 9:51 Ohio State Buckeyes I hate them they are very good have multiple titles but the fans are very conceded, 10:24 Florida State Seminoles when they enter they send an American Indian on a horse with a flaming spear to midfield and he throws the spear into the ground to intimidate the opposing team , 11:05 Oregon Ducks usually wins their conference ,
Michigan all the way, but we also have State so the Michigan vs State games are amazing. Check out the HEROS tribute Michigan did it was great. Honestly I think all the halftime events are unique from every State they put a lot of work into them.
University of Michigan which is ranked the #1 football team in the U.S. Been to many games. Their stadium last game had over 110,000 in attendance. Love this team. I've been one of the rowdy fans in the stadium. You asked why there was an Irish flag above the opposing team. That team is Notre Dame and is known to be a heavily Irish university. They are called The Fighting Irish. I've been to two of their games in Indiana and a few when they once played against Michigan.
Penn State is my team. I went to school there. The "White Out" is a big event for us. PSU has the second largest stadium in the nation. The fans get really loud to disrupt the opposition on purpose.
The first video is Virginia Tech. The actual name is too long. The men and women in blue uniforms are the Corp of Cadets. Basically, there's a military academy in the school to train prospective officers of all the branches. The cadets have to walk in a certain way with their uniforms, square their meals (fork/spoon forward, up, then into the mouth) to show discipline. The school mascot is a turkey which is the reason for the costume. I attended Va Tech and didn't really go to too many games as I don't like crowds. My roommates and I would watch it on our small tv in the dorm which could only have bunk beds. When I moved out to an apartment (freshmen arer required to stay in a dorm) in my junior year,
4th clip - Clemson University (home). They enter from the top of the stadium. Each player touches the rock (Howard’s Rock) on the pedestal in the middle of the top of the walkway.
Georgia Bulldogs fan. I'm from Athens, Georgia which is where the college campus is. The first football game here was played in 1892. My fathers first job as a kid was selling programs at the stadium. It runs deep in my blood. I plan my entire fall season around the games on Saturday. Georgia has won the last 2 national championships and going for their 3rd in a row. They have won 29 games in a row and 44 of their last 45 games which is an unbelievable accomplishment. Georgia fans are in the middle of the golden era of the football program. When we are old men we will look back at this time as the best it ever was for us. I do not take it for granted.
At 4:33 you asked why is there an Ireland flag up top (above the entrance). That is because the visiting team in the white jerseys is the University of Notre Dame (Fighting Irish) from South Bend, Indiana. The home team is the Florida State Seminoles. Both teams in college football are absolute power houses which is why the stadium was packed!
Clip 1 is the Virginia Tech University Hokies; Clip 2 is The Florida State University Seminoles, and the team that entered first is the University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish; Clips 3 is the Penn State University Nittany Lions (Beaver Stadium holds 106,572 fans); Clip 4 is the Clemson University Tigers (the color is orange); Clip 5 is the University of Wisconsin Badgers; and Clip 6 is the University of Michigan Wolverines (Michigan Stadium holds 107,601 people, and is the largest stadium in the Western Hemisphere). Michigan and Ohio State is definitely the biggest rivalry in the Big Ten Conference, with the game usually determining the winner of the Big Ten's East Division ...and often the eventual winner of the Big Ten Championship Game. I prefer college football to the NFL, and am a lifelong fan of the University of Illinois Fighting Illini, also a member of the Big Ten Conference. The Big Ten Conference is the oldest Division 1 (top level) college conference, and has been playing football since 1896.
MICHIGAN VS OHIO is one of the biggest rivalries in all of sports. Most people in either state can't stand each other. And some won't say the name of the other state. Michigan and Ohio even went to war with each other ( Sort of). Trust me, the hatred runs very deep
Have y’all seen that old ESPN commercial that shows two folks making out then you can see one has a Michigan shirt and the other has an Ohio shirt on? “Without college football, this wouldn’t be so wrong.” Ugh. I refuse to root for those Ohio corn-eaters in conference. But maybe if they’re playing a bowl game against USC or something 😂
I graduated Florida State University, the entrance with the Appaloosa horse and much of the beginning of the video. The actor, Burt Renolds, played for FSU.
lived in Columbus Ohio my whole life, big Ohio State Buckeyes fan. Love the environment. NFL is fun but I don't think anything beats the environment of college football. It's definitely an experience
Since you wanna go to Texas, here's a way to combine some American events all-in-one. The Texas state fair in Dallas is one of the best state fairs in the country. All the deep fried food and livestock, ie. longhorns, that you can see. And in September the red river rivalry is played at the fairgrounds which is Texas and Oklahoma, one of the biggest rivalries in college football. I'm sure ticket cost is a little higher but its an epic game vs a nonconsequencial game which would make it a better atmosphere.
Ohio state vs Michigan has history for over 120 years dating back to the history of the sport itself. It’s dubbed THE GAME for a reason rich in history and feisty. Go Blue :) way better than Texas and Oklahoma rivalry 😂 plus you don’t want to watch a game in Texas in over 38.7 heat! The big house in Michigan holds over 110K and has hosted Real Madrid vs Man United the Texas vs Oklahoma rivalry doesn’t even come close 😂 come to a real American college experience come to Ann Arbor, Michigan 😎. Texas is great to visit and live. The state fair is great to eat and explore and see attractions you’ll only see in Texas but be prepared to spend at least $150 USD at the state fair.
I have about 6 College Teams I follow. I went to Uni Texas, Texas Christian, Dartmouth, Wyoming, Notre Dame, and some years, Tulane, Clemson, West Virginia. If you ignore North Korea & their sports stadium that is really a parade ground, I think the top ten largest are road racing venues. The Irish flag is for the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.
With college football I support the Oregon Ducks which are relatively small team. Autzen stadium only holds 54 thousand people which is pretty small in terms of college football
I went to the University of Texas. Hook 'em Horns. There are 14 college football stadiums with a higher capacity than the largest NFL stadium, which is the Giants' and Jets' MetLife Field. One of those 14 is the Cotton Bowl, which hosts individual college games every year but does not have a permanent home team that plays there.
When everyone gets jumping up and down, you feel it reverberate through your whole body. It is amazing. If you don't have a favorite, just root for the home team. ;) I root for Baylor University in Waco, Texas. (The Texas Longhorns I believe actually lead their division.) That orange team was the Clemson Tigers. I hear Texas vs. Oklahoma State is a heck of a thing to watch; if you could get tickets and a hotel room.
That Penn State scene is called the "White Out" game, for obvious reasons. They do that once a year. Not sure which game, but I'm guessing ut's eityer their Homecoming game or the Senior Appreciation Game.
I live less than 5 miles from the Notre Dame campus and have attended some of their games but when we are at home we know that a game is starting when our windows start to vibrate and buzz then the jets fly over the house...go Irish~!!!!!
My college football team is my Alma Mater, Central Michigan. We are a smaller yet proud program with a phenomenal history, but the last ten years or so have been mostly disappointing with the occasional high and low points. We play in the MAC which is in the Midwestern US in the same region as the Big Ten, but we are a much smaller conference compared to the Big Ten so we get less attention nationally. Still though, I'm proud to be a CMU Chippewa and will be until the day I die. I'm not alone in feeling this way too, you see the incredible passion in college football because no professional sports team could ever create the same connection that people feel with their college teams. The allegiances are fierce, territorial, and generational. It's the greatest sport in the world in my opinion. Nothing else on earth like it
Wyoming Cowboys fan for college football. We went 8-4 this year which is pretty good. Exceeded most fans' expectations here. We have one game left which is a post season game called a bowl game. A bowl game is a post season reward for all teams that won more than 6 games for the year. It's a neutral site game (mostly in the Southern states or the Bahamas) and it gives an opportunity to match up against a team near your skill level. A trophy is involved if you win and the team usually goes out to the location where they are playing a week before to have fun and do charitable work. It's basically the closing to the season. At the end of all the bowl games is the biggest games which is the semifinals and national championship (top 4 teams in the country). The bowls haven't been announced yet. We won't know who we play until after this week.
Years back, Michigan allowed visitors to walk the tunnel into the stadium. I did so. Just walking thru the stadium, and I literally can see the "light at the end of the tunnel". Upon exiting the tunnel and walking onto the field, and the sky suddenly opens up. At that moment, I felt like I was a gladiator. I can only imagine what a football player felt when he sees 100,000 fans cheering as he exits the tunnel and onto the field.
We follow West Virginia University. WVU is an hour from us and our son graduated from there. WVU is the school that all of the fans sing Country Roads by John Denver.
I’m with ya on Roll Tide but I have to say Ole Miss & then my other is LSU. You can blame it on family members who couldn’t pick the same college. So, I have to pull for ALL 3! And when ever they play each other I HAVE TO PULL FOR BOTH! So it can be a mess 🤣 ✌🏻
At Clemson, before they run down the hill, they rub Howard's rock to show they will give 110% to the game. It's a rock from Death Valley, given to Coach Frank Howard about 70 years ago. The story is that Coach Howard told his players "if you're not going to give 110% keep your filthy hands off my rock." Though perhaps a bit more colorful than that.
Love your reaction to pretty much every Saturday at these places. You said in there about rivalries, but it wasn't a rivalry game. I'd love to see a reaction video of yours for games like Red River Rivalry, michigan/Ohio state, etc...
Went to Texas, the old SWC teams, new Big 12, Tulane, Georgia Tech, UTSA, now NMSU. The vast majority of university students are 18-22, first time living away from home, and most universities have all sorts of sports, entertainment, and events. Great time to be that age at university.
Clemson Tiger fan here and the first clip you watched was VT also known as Virginia Tech. That was one of their games against Clemson University. And the team that got off the bus is MY team...the Clemson Tigers! The most exciting 25 seconds in college football!!!! And our colors are orange, not red. The other team that we played that night is the Georgia Bulldogs...and they wear red. But love your reaction. Come watch a game in Clemson one day!!! #GoTigers!!! #ALLIN!!!
My college team is the University of Central Florida Knights in Orlando. They don't have the history and brand as schools like the Florida Gators, Alabama Crimson Tide and Michigan Wolverines, but they're top 2 in terms of largest student bodies at 70,000+ students and are in the Big 12 Conference. The best college football conference in terms of championships is the Southeastern Conference or SEC, which Alabama and Florida are a part.
Michigan State University aka "The Spartans". I used to live on campus for a year, and then i lived across the street on M.A.C. drive next to Pinball Pete's. But i live close enough to Notre Dame University that the jets for the games fly over my house.
My favorite college football team is LSU.. Louisiana State University.. the nickname for their stadium is Death Valley.. the 100,000+ people who go to those games make more noise than a 747 at full power..
My college football team of choice is the Illini of the University of Illinois in Champaign/Urbana. Been to 2 of their games back in the 90s. And if I'm not mistaken, one just happened to be one of their most epic games ever. It was against the Penn State Nittony Lions. The scores went back and forth. Illinoi had the lead heading into the home stretch and they were just trying to run out the clock, and unfortunately, they failed and Penn State scored a winning score late in the game. The reason i was a fan of the Illini is because 1) I live in Illinois, 2) we always had Illini Merch growing up, 3) we were friends with some UoI alums (that's why we went to a few games), and 4) the university i did go to was only a Division II school. University of Illinois has something like 55K enrollment now, while my school Southern Illinois University only had about 25K back in the mid 90s. But now, it's even less. It's latest figures are down to about 15K. Campus must seem like a ghost town witn that many people. College enrollment is down across the board now anyway, as more and more people are figuring out that it's more or less a scam. Getting youngsters hooked on an ~$100K debt for a nearly worthless degree. Not to mention many course studies can be done over the Internet now. When i was going, from 1991 to 1996, the Internet was just coming on line. Nobody even knew how to cite sources from the Web yet. Of course we all know to just copy and paste the URL along with a short descriptive title for what the link is to. But yeah, after Covid, and the lockdowns which got a lot of people used to distant learning, i imagine that if people really need to get formal education, they'll try to get as much of it over the internet. But you know what? You can almkst self-teach yourself anything now with the aide of the internet. The information is all right there. So i expect college enrollment to continue to drop over the next several years. Between having the internet and realizing that most colleges have become nothing but Left-wing indoctrination centers, there's just no need to go to these campuses anymore to the fune of $70 to 140K over 4 years.
The Florida State Seminoles have the best college football entrance in the country. You will hear the war chant thru out the entire game. As a matter of fact, when the Noles play an away game, you will still hear the war chant over the TV speakers.
Miami Hurricanes fan. And I'm the anomaly. I live in the Home Town of one of their most hated rivals South Bend, Indiana where Notre Dame is located. Miami is at the Southern tip of Florida, and South Bend is on the Northern border of Indiana & Michigan. 1337 miles [2151.7 km] in distance between cities.
2nd clip Florida State (home) v Norte Dame fighting Irish (hence Irish flag). In the US this opening references a Native American tribe (Seminoles) and is viewed by some as trivializing the tribe. But not everyone holds this view.
Every state has a collage football team, but a lot of states don't have an nfl team. yet some states have multiple like Cali Texas Florida and to an extent New York (by name but New Jersey actually holds two of those teams)
I went to Virginia Tech (the first entrance with Metallica playing) and this video doesn't even do justice to the energy and noise when you are there. It's absolutely wild. We are called the Hokies, its a weird name that comes from an old school song that goes back like 100 years. We're also called the Fighting Gobblers (i.e. a reference to turkeys which are indigenous) which is why you see the bird etc. It's one of the stranger mascots in sports honestly. I'd love to go see the yellow wall in Dortmund some day though, that would be amazing.
VT. Is Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. I was a season ticket holder for 25 years. College football is the best. It’s a large gathering of friends and family.
What you saw first the Penn State clip is what they call the white out game where every fan wears white and it is so loud I’ve been to a whiteout and the noise is deafening you can feel it rattle in your chest. But even for non white games it’s just and amazing atmosphere. I’ve been to both NFL and College football games I’d much rather go to college than the pros
LSU is the school i support typically along with USM. USM is not doing good, but LSU is on track with a potential Heisman candidate. LSU's stadium is nicknamed Death Valley and has officially been recorded at achieving a 5 on the Richter scale.
for the second to last one the reason there was no team was that was technically a start of the 4th quarter event, that was a misplaced clip. the last stadium is MI like you said and its the largest stadium in the US at 105K people max

Lol! I was thinking it was Vermont lol🤣🤣
Georgia Bulldogs !
It's better if you don't wanna to see the best athletes playing at the highest level.
Btw the biggest rivals are correct but souther football rivalries are different alabama and auburn, lsu and alabama are some of the biggest rivalries in the south

The Irish flag is for the visiting team the Notre Dame "Fighting Irish".
YEP!!!!
Notre Dame is my favorite team but I also route for my home team, BYU Cougars
@@PurpleObscuration That probably upsets God somehow.
Is ND in conference w FSU? Or was it a championship?
@@peachykeen7634 ND would have been independant at the time so it was neither a conference game or a championship.
University of Michigan fan here. Biggest Stadium in college football. The Big House.
The team in red were the Wisconsin Badgers. They do the "Jump around" befor the start of every 4th quarter.
I'm a Michigan State fan. And yes, 8 of the 10 largest stadiums in the world by capacity are US college football - India has a larger cricket stadium, and North Korea claims to have a larger soccer stadium, but the next eight are Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas A&M, LSU, Tennessee, Texas, and Alabama. After that are the Melbourne Cricket Ground and Camp Nou. The largest NFL stadium would only be tied for 15th among college stadiums.
The clips in this video were Virginia Tech, Florida State, Penn State, Clemson, Wisconsin (though that wasn't actually their entrance, that was what they do at the end of the third quarter), and Michigan.
The second game in the video was Florida State Seminoles playing Notre Dame (the fighting Irish, thus the Irish flag) from Indiana.
Florida State seminoles are my go to. Im actually from michigan, but my brother goes to school there and got me hooked on them! The war chant is electrifying!
Sorry what happened to you guys Quarterback Jordan . Hopefully he recovers down the road. He's actually from my home town .
Go Noles!!!!!!!
Aye I respect y’all but I don’t like y’all. Go Gators 🐊
I’m a Nebraska Cornhuskers fan as I grew up close to campus and am currently a student.
Florida State Seminoles....Home of Chief Osceola and the Horse Renegade...
First clip - Virginia Tech (home) vs Clemson. They play in the same conference so they play each other nearly every year. Entrance music is Enter Sandman by Metallica
Huge Georgia fan here. College football is insane. Nothing can beat these environments! Great video man!
I'd say OSU/Mich is the biggest rivalry but to be fair, I'm biased 😉
That entrance with the bus. The locker rooms are in the back of the stadium, the home team dresses and boards the team bus, which drives them around, through a throng of cheering fans, to let the team enter thru the main doors to go to the field. the visitors still enter from the back.
Also, you asked why the irish flag was there, that was the visiting team, the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame fan section

I’m from Texas, but I have always supported Michigan ever since I was a kid.

Michigan Wolverines, GO BLUE!
@@patludwa4428Crazy that you reply that to a Go Blue comment considering what happened when you played them

PSU = Pennsylvania State University ("Penn State")
6:40 This is Penn State at Beaver Stadium. all of the fans dressed in white is referred to as a *_"Whiteout"._*
i used to live about 3 miles (5 Km) from the stadium and my windows would rattle when there was a good play in the stadium. Beaver stadium holds a bit over 100,000 people.
a hundred thousand fans showed up at a soccer game in michigan stadium .
We Head back and forth from Florida St Seminoles games and Miami Dolphins games, and it's been fun Road Trips and Games.
Look up "The Ten Year War" Michigan vs Ohio State. The oldest and greatest rivalry in American sports. Michian and ohio since 1835. Before football there was a War. There is still one.

The mascot does a pushup for every point the team makes. That can be a LOT of pushups in a big mascot costume! That's why I cheer them on. The game at 5:10 is Florida State Seminoles (a native tribe, thus the oh-oh-ohhh chant) versus Notre Dame "Fighting Irish" (thus the Irish flag). Yes, you boo the opposing team.
I went to New Mexico State University and we have a historically bad football program but this year we are having maybe our best year ever at 10-3 with a chance at a conference championship this Friday. I am so excited to finally have a good football team!! We had about 16,000 fans at our last home game which is obviously not a lot compared to bigger and better programs, but it’s still a huge improvement for us.
Alot better than UTEP and that's that I'm from El Paso. They just finished firing the coach from UTEP.
Good luck!
Go win that championship. Good luck guys feom out here in Tiger Town #GoTigers
I'm a Lobo but I'm still rooting for you guys!
I'm for Duke University, we're not very good at football. We have one of the biggest rivalries against Chapel Hill, both teams are legacy programs in basketball. It gets wild in football, but also in a Duke v. UNC basketball game.
Clemson University! The entrance to death valley has been described as the most exciting 25 seconds in all of college football.
The first clip was of the Virginia Tech Hokies. They have been entering to Metallica's "Enter Sandman" for years. Most college games have a similar atmosphere with the fans psyching up the teams and the players following some tradition before they emerge from the tunnel. As a fan, I have several teams I like: University of Pittsburgh, USC, Notre Dame, and Florida State.
I feel badly for Florida State but Alabama is a better team right now. I'm a Gator fan and FSU barely beat our garbage team led by the 2nd string QB.
The Clemson Tigers one is awesome when the full Bus ride around the stadium to the top of the hill is incredible energy!You have to get that version of it !!!!
Michigan fan here Go blue!
0:26 Michigan Wolverines who just won the national title , 1:29 Tennessee Volunteers it's really cool when they do each section in white or orange so it looks like a orange and white checker board, 2:09 When you beat a team that is ranked in the top 10 and you're not even ranked it is tradition to tear down the goal post when I was at the University of Missouri called "MIZZOU" we played Nebraska who was usually ranked in the top 10 we won and part of the goal post wound up in my fraternity's front yard , 2:33 Pennsylvania State Nittany Lions called Penn State and that is called a White out where everyone wears white , 3:48 Virginia Tech Hokkies, 5:30 South Carolina Gamecocks, 6:55 Wisconsin Badgers , 8:08 Alabama Crimson Tide one of the best in college football they have multiple titles , 8:53 Louisiana State University Tigers and they are very good every year and they have multiple titles as well , 9:51 Ohio State Buckeyes I hate them they are very good have multiple titles but the fans are very conceded, 10:24 Florida State Seminoles when they enter they send an American Indian on a horse with a flaming spear to midfield and he throws the spear into the ground to intimidate the opposing team , 11:05 Oregon Ducks usually wins their conference ,
Michigan all the way, but we also have State so the Michigan vs State games are amazing. Check out the HEROS tribute Michigan did it was great. Honestly I think all the halftime events are unique from every State they put a lot of work into them.
5th clip - University of Wisconsin. Not an entrance. This happens between the 3rd and 4th quarters. Song is House of Pain’s “Jump Around”
I’m a freshman at the University of Alabama. I’ve been a fan since middle school. Roll tide! 🐘
University of Michigan which is ranked the #1 football team in the U.S. Been to many games. Their stadium last game had over 110,000 in attendance. Love this team. I've been one of the rowdy fans in the stadium. You asked why there was an Irish flag above the opposing team. That team is Notre Dame and is known to be a heavily Irish university. They are called The Fighting Irish. I've been to two of their games in Indiana and a few when they once played against Michigan.
I went to Virginia Tech and that was the first team you saw. Best entrance ever! It will give you chills everytime.
School spirit. OSU (Oklahoma State University) Cowboys. Seminoles were Native American tribe in Florida.
During the season - every weekend - the entrance at home game
Penn State is my team. I went to school there. The "White Out" is a big event for us. PSU has the second largest stadium in the nation. The fans get really loud to disrupt the opposition on purpose.
The first video is Virginia Tech. The actual name is too long. The men and women in blue uniforms are the Corp of Cadets. Basically, there's a military academy in the school to train prospective officers of all the branches. The cadets have to walk in a certain way with their uniforms, square their meals (fork/spoon forward, up, then into the mouth) to show discipline. The school mascot is a turkey which is the reason for the costume. I attended Va Tech and didn't really go to too many games as I don't like crowds. My roommates and I would watch it on our small tv in the dorm which could only have bunk beds. When I moved out to an apartment (freshmen arer required to stay in a dorm) in my junior year,
4th clip - Clemson University (home). They enter from the top of the stadium. Each player touches the rock (Howard’s Rock) on the pedestal in the middle of the top of the walkway.
Georgia Bulldogs fan. I'm from Athens, Georgia which is where the college campus is. The first football game here was played in 1892. My fathers first job as a kid was selling programs at the stadium. It runs deep in my blood. I plan my entire fall season around the games on Saturday. Georgia has won the last 2 national championships and going for their 3rd in a row. They have won 29 games in a row and 44 of their last 45 games which is an unbelievable accomplishment. Georgia fans are in the middle of the golden era of the football program. When we are old men we will look back at this time as the best it ever was for us. I do not take it for granted.
At 4:33 you asked why is there an Ireland flag up top (above the entrance). That is because the visiting team in the white jerseys is the University of Notre Dame (Fighting Irish) from South Bend, Indiana.
The home team is the Florida State Seminoles. Both teams in college football are absolute power houses which is why the stadium was packed!
Clip 1 is the Virginia Tech University Hokies; Clip 2 is The Florida State University Seminoles, and the team that entered first is the University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish; Clips 3 is the Penn State University Nittany Lions (Beaver Stadium holds 106,572 fans); Clip 4 is the Clemson University Tigers (the color is orange); Clip 5 is the University of Wisconsin Badgers; and Clip 6 is the University of Michigan Wolverines (Michigan Stadium holds 107,601 people, and is the largest stadium in the Western Hemisphere). Michigan and Ohio State is definitely the biggest rivalry in the Big Ten Conference, with the game usually determining the winner of the Big Ten's East Division ...and often the eventual winner of the Big Ten Championship Game. I prefer college football to the NFL, and am a lifelong fan of the University of Illinois Fighting Illini, also a member of the Big Ten Conference. The Big Ten Conference is the oldest Division 1 (top level) college conference, and has been playing football since 1896.
MICHIGAN VS OHIO is one of the biggest rivalries in all of sports. Most people in either state can't stand each other. And some won't say the name of the other state. Michigan and Ohio even went to war with each other ( Sort of). Trust me, the hatred runs very deep
Ohio University has never played Michigan. You mean THE Ohio State University? 😉
As a Michigander I just want to say ...I enjoy OSU football...just not when they play Michigan...gotta root for your school right?! 💁🏻♀
Have y’all seen that old ESPN commercial that shows two folks making out then you can see one has a Michigan shirt and the other has an Ohio shirt on?
“Without college football, this wouldn’t be so wrong.”
Ugh. I refuse to root for those Ohio corn-eaters in conference. But maybe if they’re playing a bowl game against USC or something 😂
You mean Ohio State right?
My college team is the University of Michigan - Go BLUE!
I graduated Florida State University, the entrance with the Appaloosa horse and much of the beginning of the video. The actor, Burt Renolds, played for FSU.
lived in Columbus Ohio my whole life, big Ohio State Buckeyes fan. Love the environment. NFL is fun but I don't think anything beats the environment of college football. It's definitely an experience
U of M, Michigan 🎉🎉 Love From Michigan and it's a very cold and snowy Evening.
Yup. TEXAS Longhorn here. Texas and Oklahoma are the biggest rivals.
3rd clip - Penn State (home). When Penn State plays home games they tend to coordinate a white out game. And play Phil Collins in the air tonight.
If you go to a college football game, go to one on Rivalry Weekend in the SEC.
Since you wanna go to Texas, here's a way to combine some American events all-in-one. The Texas state fair in Dallas is one of the best state fairs in the country. All the deep fried food and livestock, ie. longhorns, that you can see. And in September the red river rivalry is played at the fairgrounds which is Texas and Oklahoma, one of the biggest rivalries in college football. I'm sure ticket cost is a little higher but its an epic game vs a nonconsequencial game which would make it a better atmosphere.
💯
This is a tremendous idea 🙏
Ohio state vs Michigan has history for over 120 years dating back to the history of the sport itself. It’s dubbed THE GAME for a reason rich in history and feisty. Go Blue :) way better than Texas and Oklahoma rivalry 😂 plus you don’t want to watch a game in Texas in over 38.7 heat! The big house in Michigan holds over 110K and has hosted Real Madrid vs Man United the Texas vs Oklahoma rivalry doesn’t even come close 😂 come to a real American college experience come to Ann Arbor, Michigan 😎. Texas is great to visit and live. The state fair is great to eat and explore and see attractions you’ll only see in Texas but be prepared to spend at least $150 USD at the state fair.
Red River Shootout in the Cotton Bowl!
I have about 6 College Teams I follow. I went to Uni Texas, Texas Christian, Dartmouth, Wyoming, Notre Dame, and some years, Tulane, Clemson, West Virginia. If you ignore North Korea & their sports stadium that is really a parade ground, I think the top ten largest are road racing venues. The Irish flag is for the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.
I love watching your channel grow.
Most Americans support football 🏈 college and NFL we live for the game ❤
With college football I support the Oregon Ducks which are relatively small team. Autzen stadium only holds 54 thousand people which is pretty small in terms of college football
I went to the University of Texas. Hook 'em Horns. There are 14 college football stadiums with a higher capacity than the largest NFL stadium, which is the Giants' and Jets' MetLife Field. One of those 14 is the Cotton Bowl, which hosts individual college games every year but does not have a permanent home team that plays there.
The Penn State “White out” is known to be the best atmosphere in all of college football
When everyone gets jumping up and down, you feel it reverberate through your whole body. It is amazing. If you don't have a favorite, just root for the home team. ;) I root for Baylor University in Waco, Texas. (The Texas Longhorns I believe actually lead their division.) That orange team was the Clemson Tigers. I hear Texas vs. Oklahoma State is a heck of a thing to watch; if you could get tickets and a hotel room.
That Penn State scene is called the "White Out" game, for obvious reasons. They do that once a year. Not sure which game, but I'm guessing ut's eityer their Homecoming game or the Senior Appreciation Game.
Alabama crimson tide!! We play Georgia for the SEC championship this Saturday ❤🏈🐘
Roll Tide!!! 👍😎
The Ireland flag is for the opponents. University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish
I live less than 5 miles from the Notre Dame campus and have attended some of their games but when we are at home we know that a game is starting when our windows start to vibrate and buzz then the jets fly over the house...go Irish~!!!!!
My college football team is my Alma Mater, Central Michigan. We are a smaller yet proud program with a phenomenal history, but the last ten years or so have been mostly disappointing with the occasional high and low points. We play in the MAC which is in the Midwestern US in the same region as the Big Ten, but we are a much smaller conference compared to the Big Ten so we get less attention nationally. Still though, I'm proud to be a CMU Chippewa and will be until the day I die. I'm not alone in feeling this way too, you see the incredible passion in college football because no professional sports team could ever create the same connection that people feel with their college teams. The allegiances are fierce, territorial, and generational. It's the greatest sport in the world in my opinion. Nothing else on earth like it
Wyoming Cowboys fan for college football. We went 8-4 this year which is pretty good. Exceeded most fans' expectations here. We have one game left which is a post season game called a bowl game. A bowl game is a post season reward for all teams that won more than 6 games for the year. It's a neutral site game (mostly in the Southern states or the Bahamas) and it gives an opportunity to match up against a team near your skill level. A trophy is involved if you win and the team usually goes out to the location where they are playing a week before to have fun and do charitable work. It's basically the closing to the season. At the end of all the bowl games is the biggest games which is the semifinals and national championship (top 4 teams in the country). The bowls haven't been announced yet. We won't know who we play until after this week.
Years back, Michigan allowed visitors to walk the tunnel into the stadium. I did so. Just walking thru the stadium, and I literally can see the "light at the end of the tunnel". Upon exiting the tunnel and walking onto the field, and the sky suddenly opens up. At that moment, I felt like I was a gladiator. I can only imagine what a football player felt when he sees 100,000 fans cheering as he exits the tunnel and onto the field.
We follow West Virginia University. WVU is an hour from us and our son graduated from there. WVU is the school that all of the fans sing Country Roads by John Denver.
I’m from Colorado, we have a fully grown buffalo run out before the players, it is one of the most incredible things you’ll ever see.
Alabama (Roll Tide!!) and Mississippi State 🏈🏈
Thanks for another fun one!! Hope you get to attend one (or several😁) soon! Blessings 💕
I’m with ya on Roll Tide but I have to say Ole Miss & then my other is LSU. You can blame it on family members who couldn’t pick the same college. So, I have to pull for ALL 3! And when ever they play each other I HAVE TO PULL FOR BOTH! So it can be a mess 🤣 ✌🏻
@@cynsi7604 lol I hear ya. Hotty Toddy and Geaux Tigers🤣🤣
"The Ohio State vs University of Michigan - The History of "The Game" by Superb Sports Media
At Clemson, before they run down the hill, they rub Howard's rock to show they will give 110% to the game. It's a rock from Death Valley, given to Coach Frank Howard about 70 years ago. The story is that Coach Howard told his players "if you're not going to give 110% keep your filthy hands off my rock." Though perhaps a bit more colorful than that.
Michigan fan. Hearing 106,000+ people sing Mr Brightside gives me chills.
How did you not have the Tunnel Walk at memorial stadium for the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Love your reaction to pretty much every Saturday at these places. You said in there about rivalries, but it wasn't a rivalry game. I'd love to see a reaction video of yours for games like Red River Rivalry, michigan/Ohio state, etc...
Seminoles, hands like a tomahawk chop. NATIVE PRIDE!!
Went to Texas, the old SWC teams, new Big 12, Tulane, Georgia Tech, UTSA, now NMSU. The vast majority of university students are 18-22, first time living away from home, and most universities have all sorts of sports, entertainment, and events. Great time to be that age at university.
One of my ex brother in-laws played for Clemson in the mid 1980’s. It is crazy like that and it is Orange but not the orange and Tennessee.
Go Tigers!
If you ever go to a college football game you have to go to a Penn state whiteout game at night it’s electric. Definitely a great experience
Clemson Tiger fan here and the first clip you watched was VT also known as Virginia Tech. That was one of their games against Clemson University. And the team that got off the bus is MY team...the Clemson Tigers! The most exciting 25 seconds in college football!!!! And our colors are orange, not red. The other team that we played that night is the Georgia Bulldogs...and they wear red. But love your reaction. Come watch a game in Clemson one day!!! #GoTigers!!! #ALLIN!!!
That first clip with the Irish flag was for Notre Dame. They are known as the Fighting Irish.
My college team is the University of Central Florida Knights in Orlando. They don't have the history and brand as schools like the Florida Gators, Alabama Crimson Tide and Michigan Wolverines, but they're top 2 in terms of largest student bodies at 70,000+ students and are in the Big 12 Conference. The best college football conference in terms of championships is the Southeastern Conference or SEC, which Alabama and Florida are a part.
The first one is my team from souuthern Virginia. Virginia Tech Hokies!!!❤❤❤
Michigan State University aka "The Spartans". I used to live on campus for a year, and then i lived across the street on M.A.C. drive next to Pinball Pete's. But i live close enough to Notre Dame University that the jets for the games fly over my house.
I have always supported Notre Dame and Grambling since I was a little kid. I'm 65 now.
My favorite college football team is LSU.. Louisiana State University.. the nickname for their stadium is Death Valley.. the 100,000+ people who go to those games make more noise than a 747 at full power..
My college football team of choice is the Illini of the University of Illinois in Champaign/Urbana. Been to 2 of their games back in the 90s. And if I'm not mistaken, one just happened to be one of their most epic games ever. It was against the Penn State Nittony Lions. The scores went back and forth. Illinoi had the lead heading into the home stretch and they were just trying to run out the clock, and unfortunately, they failed and Penn State scored a winning score late in the game.
The reason i was a fan of the Illini is because 1) I live in Illinois, 2) we always had Illini Merch growing up, 3) we were friends with some UoI alums (that's why we went to a few games), and 4) the university i did go to was only a Division II school. University of Illinois has something like 55K enrollment now, while my school Southern Illinois University only had about 25K back in the mid 90s. But now, it's even less. It's latest figures are down to about 15K. Campus must seem like a ghost town witn that many people. College enrollment is down across the board now anyway, as more and more people are figuring out that it's more or less a scam. Getting youngsters hooked on an ~$100K debt for a nearly worthless degree. Not to mention many course studies can be done over the Internet now. When i was going, from 1991 to 1996, the Internet was just coming on line. Nobody even knew how to cite sources from the Web yet. Of course we all know to just copy and paste the URL along with a short descriptive title for what the link is to. But yeah, after Covid, and the lockdowns which got a lot of people used to distant learning, i imagine that if people really need to get formal education, they'll try to get as much of it over the internet. But you know what? You can almkst self-teach yourself anything now with the aide of the internet. The information is all right there. So i expect college enrollment to continue to drop over the next several years. Between having the internet and realizing that most colleges have become nothing but Left-wing indoctrination centers, there's just no need to go to these campuses anymore to the fune of $70 to 140K over 4 years.
The Florida State Seminoles have the best college football entrance in the country. You will hear the war chant thru out the entire game. As a matter of fact, when the Noles play an away game, you will still hear the war chant over the TV speakers.
Miami Hurricanes fan. And I'm the anomaly. I live in the Home Town of one of their most
hated rivals South Bend, Indiana where Notre Dame is located. Miami is at the Southern tip
of Florida, and South Bend is on the Northern border of Indiana & Michigan. 1337 miles
[2151.7 km] in distance between cities.
2nd clip Florida State (home) v Norte Dame fighting Irish (hence Irish flag). In the US this opening references a Native American tribe (Seminoles) and is viewed by some as trivializing the tribe. But not everyone holds this view.
It’s great to be a Michigan Wolverine.
It won't be once the NCAA is done with y'all lol
Every state has a collage football team, but a lot of states don't have an nfl team. yet some states have multiple like Cali Texas Florida and to an extent New York (by name but New Jersey actually holds two of those teams)
I went to Virginia Tech (the first entrance with Metallica playing) and this video doesn't even do justice to the energy and noise when you are there. It's absolutely wild. We are called the Hokies, its a weird name that comes from an old school song that goes back like 100 years. We're also called the Fighting Gobblers (i.e. a reference to turkeys which are indigenous) which is why you see the bird etc. It's one of the stranger mascots in sports honestly.
I'd love to go see the yellow wall in Dortmund some day though, that would be amazing.
Your excitement and reaction made this video great. Hope you can visit the US soon.
VT. Is Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. I was a season ticket holder for 25 years. College football is the best. It’s a large gathering of friends and family.
What you saw first the Penn State clip is what they call the white out game where every fan wears white and it is so loud I’ve been to a whiteout and the noise is deafening you can feel it rattle in your chest. But even for non white games it’s just and amazing atmosphere. I’ve been to both NFL and College football games I’d much rather go to college than the pros
You should watch the movie Rudy!
Also the movie "My All American "
Michigan Stadium is the largest in the country.
Texas Tech and the Masked Rider is very cool. Plus, anyone can walk up to any tailgate party and experience West Texas hospitality!
LSU is the school i support typically along with USM. USM is not doing good, but LSU is on track with a potential Heisman candidate. LSU's stadium is nicknamed Death Valley and has officially been recorded at achieving a 5 on the Richter scale.
Seriously, you need to go to a college football game. Tailgate. Sing the anthem, hope for a flyover. The SEC is tough to beat, for an experience.
for the second to last one the reason there was no team was that was technically a start of the 4th quarter event, that was a misplaced clip. the last stadium is MI like you said and its the largest stadium in the US at 105K people max
