A&M stands for Agricultural & Mechanical. Most states have an A&M school, or the State school used to called A&M. Their original purpose was to teach agriculture and mechanics for farming, as opposed to the "normal" schools that taught teachers, and technical schools that taught engineers, but all types have grown into mostly teaching everything.
If you're looking for a tiger, LSU keeps a live one on campus. They used to bring it out and put it next to the visiting team's locker room before games. As for the Auburn, the War Eagle tradition started when a Civil War soldier found a dying eagle on the battlefield and nursed it back to health. He then became a professor at the University of Auburn where always he brought the eagle into his classroom. Then during the football game, the eagle broke free from its cage and started flying around the stadium. The tradition has stuck ever since.
From here, you should explore college football's biggest rivalries, some starting ideas include ND and USC, Mich and Ohio St, Auburn and Alabama, Oklahoma and Texas, among others
There's a cool video on that Iowa wave to the patients at the Children's hospital. It explains how it came to be and shows the kids waving back. It's worth reacting to. Keep up the great reactions!
Around 5:20 -- I'm amazed that Notre Dame _has_ a dark-stadium tradition. Until the mid-90's they didn't even have _lights_ -- though that didn't stop them from hosting some night games; they brought in portable light towers for those. But when they added about 20 thousand seats because Notre Dame Stadium was freaking tiny compared to everywhere else (still IS outside the top 20 biggest venues in college, I think) they also added light towers. And a big screen replay board, but only on the side _opposite_ the library and the Touchdown Jesus mural.
You would like Big 10. It is "smash mouth football" it its running and tackling and stiff arming. It is in your face and all you see is SEC. If you want rugby and NFL just look at Michigan/vs/Ohio St.
Might I suggest the Auburn Tigers for your fandom. The eagle comes from our Civil War time, and flew over the stadium against Georgia as we came back to win. Someone said "Look, it's a War Eagle", so we embraced it then
Those were the Georgia Bulldogs (back to back national champs) holding up their phones to signal the 4th quarter. Kind of a 'finish them' to the team. Loved your reaction! Go Dawgs!!!!! xo from GA
"Texas A&M is one of six national senior military colleges offering participation in military Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) programs. With more than 145 years of cadet training and service to the nation, it is not surprising that Texas A&M is listed first on the United States Code, which established the senior military colleges in law." -Texas A&M Foundation
I would highly recommend watching the Oklahoma/Texas game from earlier this season. One of the biggest rivalries and one of the closest/best games of recent memory. It was a real nail-biter to the last minute.
Do a stadium vid! For a point of reference, West Hams stadium would be tied for the 39th biggest college football stadium by capacity. The college stadiums usually aren’t as fancy NFL stadiums usually, but they are more historic and the atmosphere is almost always better!
Texas A&M was originally named the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. Now they are Texas A&M University. The official name has just the letters A and M, not the words.
College game tickets are far more affordable than NFL so it’s easier to fill up the stadiums. Plus, the NFL teams are few and not always accessible to everyone. Mosts states have at least one college team and several have multiple teams making them available to the masses. Plus there’s a support your team atmosphere (from Pee Wee to elementary, middle, high school and through college) in the US that you won’t find anywhere else. We have adult leagues and camp teams. If you have enough of a group of people who love sports, you can form some kind of teams and leagues. It’s the American Way.
You might wonder how a town of 50k fills a stadium of 70 or 80k every other week. There are strong fan bases of former students, current students & their families, plus there isn't much to do in a town of 50k anyway. 😁But most universities have to have a pretty bad year not to fill them up every home game.
Every school has their cherished mascot...can be an Indian warrior on horse with burning spear, can be a Spartican driving blade point into ground...whatever...you'll always have complainers... but its all good now...❤peacealways
Here is likely two of the biggest games of week one... 31st Aug. 2024 Notre Dame @ Texas A&M TBD Tickets as low as $349 Kyle Field, College Station, TX Georgia @ Clemson TBD Tickets as low as $273 Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, GA
Texas A&M used to be "The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas." Now the A&M technically stands for nothing as the University has grown beyond its original mission.

i thought it was "AndMaziel"?
You saw a clip of a SNL skit with Christopher Walken where he famously said, “I need more cowbell!” Hence the entire stadium is ringing cowbells. 😂😂😂

A lot of people across America love the wave. Can't wait to back to iowa city for iowa alumni marching band and the wave

Nobody cares. Freeman is a fraud.
Sweet Caroline chant is also an awesome chant for our Backyard Brawl against Pitt
During Texas A&M home games it is tradition that every student stands during the game. The entire game.
Who cares lol

The different color at the Nebraska game was the visiting teams fans
The clip on the screen at 11:09 is from the movie Tombstone.

I’m from Auburn and I’ve actually been able to hold that bird. It’s a totally different culture and lifestyle when it comes to sports in the south

The Black Friday Nebraska Husker V Iowa Hawkeyes game is the best day. Idc which team you are, there’s just something about the energy. 💯
In Nebrasks, on gameday, the stadium is the second largest city in the state.
10:20 This was an from SNL reference, Mississippi state
We would love a college stadiums video!! Keep up your hard work
you need to watch the Penn State whiteout vs Michigan 2019

That was not Georgia tech that the Georgia Bulldawgs. Go Dawgs!!!
They are throwing tortillas in the last part of the video. It’s a tradition at Texas Tech

That was Auburn, the War Eagle

You can do a whole video on Texas A&M. Midnight yell practice. They don't have female cheerleaders lol stadium holds over 100k.

Auburn are tigers but their chant is War Eagle

I wonder if all these rock bands get paid royalties for their songs
the fans are so close to the "pitch" bc these stadiums hold 80 thou plus - where ya gonna put 80 to 100 thousand fans?
CLEMSON UNIVERSITY in Clemson, SC has "THE LONG RAMP RUN ONTO THE FIELD'
