Correction. The way the college football "playoff" works You need Ohio State, Alabama, and either Clemson or Georgia, plus some random university that over-performed that season.
@@tyreek.6815 Not really an exaggeration since SEC teams won 6 of the last 10 championships......and 7 in a row before that! They also have the most NFL players by a good margin.
There are approximately 100 players on each roster. Don't forget - this is still college (they are 18-22 years old) and most are on scholarship receiving a free college education, enjoying continuing to play football and will then enter the real world after graduation like the rest of us. Only about 1% of high school players play Division 1 football and about 1% of those players make it to the NFL. These entrances are for a typical game played every Saturday. It's even bigger for rivalries, Bowl Games and obviously the National Championship.
At the highest level of college football, teams are allowed 85 scholarship players per season. The number only approaches 100 for home games where the "walk-ons" (pay their own tuition) get to dress and be on the sideline. Visiting teams are limited to 70 players.
College football runs from late August to the first week in December. There are only about 6 home games each year, so each one is pretty special. However, if it is your rival or the teams are highly ranked then they tend to get more hype.
The second walkout is Virginia Tech, to Enter Sandman, and the stadium holds around 60,000 people and they regularly create seismic activity(small earthquakes). My sister goes there so I have been to a few games and nothing compares to that atmosphere truly. Insane.
Agree with this! I'm an SEC grad and of course, we think our football traditions are the best in the nation but when it comes to best entrance, it's Virginia Tech, period. I hope that passion never changes, even with Coach Beamer's retirement.
4:30 That particularly bright yellow corner is probably the students' section. Typically, students (and sometimes alumni) of American universities get free or very cheap tickets to school sporting events, and they have a whole section reserved for them at all the sports venues. Of course, by nature students tend to have a ton of school spirit, which means that they _pack_ the students' section, all decked out in the wide variety of school-colored t-shirts, jackets, scarves, and hats that are inevitably available at the university bookstore.
Seeing enter sandman always gives me chills and I'm no VA tech fan at all. Whenever I see it at night I marvel at people who don't get sports. What an atmosphere
Every game is insane because every game of the season is important. But the night games, in state rivalry games, and conference games are a different beast all in itself lol.
Yes, this is every college game. Each team plays 6 games at home, 6 on the road. Football is a religion in America with the kids (under 18) playing on Friday's, the boy (18-22) playing on Saturday's, and the men playing on Sunday's. Each of these stadiums are cathedral's dedicated to the game. A game which, by the way, is a war between two opposing forces, and most of the terminology of the game is taken from war strategies and tactics.
Great reaction! It's the perfect combination of factors that generates this type of enthusiasm -- the students who are attending the school, the alumni of the school, and the community in general -- in some cases the school is hundreds of miles from a professional football team. It becomes an event -- a before, during, and after party. Fans, bands, cheerleaders, mascots -- and of course, the actual game, which is high level and exciting competition. The South does it the best -- but there are pockets in the East, Mid-West and West. There are better videos than this one -- I think it's called "the best American sports fans" which features college football and college basketball. The March Madness college basketball videos are crazy -- featuring last second buzzer beaters.
While some of this is excitement for a "normal" game, there are very few "normal" games in college football. You have rivalry games and homecoming games, which bring out a lot of alumni. Also, prior to the college football playoff system, the National Champion was determined by a poll, which meant that 1 loss could end you chances at a championship. This meant that every game was essentially a playoff game.
Went to Tcu vs Texas this year in Austin Texas and it was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before! The atmosphere over the whole city was crazy all weekend leading up to the game!! And the pregame atmosphere was unreal!!
College football is amazing. When I was at LSU football games in college it was one of the most electric events I have ever witnessed. Most universities have so many students and their families attended that university producing even more fans and we show up for our team!
I live in Nebraska USA and I remember that night. This video brought tears down my face thank you I enjoy watching your family and videos about America.. my fathers family came to Plymouth Massachusetts on the ship the Hopewell in 1635 during the puritan migration so I always feel like the UK is family..
Home game atmosphere at places like Ohio State and Tennessee are on another level. It's massively theatrical and you can't help but get swept up in it. Certainly they'd never go for this buildup in EPL or the Bundesliga, but if they did it would be glorious
It's every game. I'm from Tennessee, part of the (SEC) South Eastern Conference. We go crazy every weekend. College Football is a religion in the South. Love it much more than the NFL, but love them too. Enjoying your channel...
Exactly! Beverly! FACTS!👍 I'm from Texas.Yes! a Texas Longhorns Fan Since '98.I call The Best Conference in College Football "The NFL minor leagues "😂😂 We...well,they, other UT will be seeing and hearing ROCKY TOP in either 2023,or 2024.I HATE that Texas STUPIDITY joined the SEC.I said Nooooo!😳 what a foolish money grab move.when I saw on my local news that night.I was so angry,I just put my arms on top of my head yelling obscenities at my TV!😡😡It went something like this:👉"What the (BLEEP) we can't even beat,TCU (you seen what Georgia did to them..MERCY!😳) Univ.Washington,Texas Tech.What the (BLEEP) are they doing? There goes any Conference Titles,No Bowl games.Hell, Kentucky is now good in football" The Tennessee Vols Band and kickoff team is going to get winded by the 2nd quarter,they will have to pre-record thier Fight Song.The kickoff team wouldn't even run down field.Just kick the ball into the 3rd row with the 4th string kicker.😳😳 I HATE that Texas is leaving.Stay in The Big-12 where we can at least win 7- games.I bought all the 2005 National Championship Gear I could.Don't believe the 3rd ranked recruiting class rankings of 2023,but our HS football is not as good as it use to be.I follow it very closely here in Texas.Nice Checkerboard End Zone!👍🏈🇺🇲
@@anthonyjolly2066 Welcome to the SEC, best conference ever. You will love it. Trust me! Nothing like Saturday in the SEC. Can't wait for the UT vs the other UT game. Go Big Orange, Rocky Top will be Rocking!!!
@@beverlydorn9498Yeah! no argument from me.Boy! I'm so scared,that I could make coffee nervous!😳I seen the SEC on CBS and it's network..GEESH! the speed,the size,the pure athletes.We will look like Texas Christian University (TCU) in every game.The Board of Regents at Texas is going to REGRET joining the SEC.We are NOT good enough.I haven't stop shaking my NO! since I heard of Texas making this move.So,what we have Sarkisian,(no relation to the singer,actress Cher..yes that's her last name) We just lost the Alamo Bowl to Washington.😡Even though #11 Jalen Hyatt is going too the NFL,still Tenn.with HC Josh Heipel just put the next Parade All-American in at WR.Bevely,we don't have those athletes.It will be fun for Vols fans,not the other UT.We are doomed.We might beat the other,other, school in Tennessee, Vanderbilt in 3OT's.That song 'Bama band and fans was singing something like "Hey! Texas,we're going to beat the hell out you" I was at that game,I was scared of those SEC fans.I wore just a white plain T-shirt.Yes! Rocky Top,and Smokey will get tired of doing push-ups.The Eyes Of Texas gets played only 1-time...after the beat down.I hope Texas goes too KNOCKS-ville..oops! I mean Knoxville.😂 I call it that,bc they are going to KNOCK our 'Horns in the turf at beautiful Neyland Stadium.Thank You for being kind.Texas Fans don't deserve this torture..we don't.. it's not right!😭🥴🥴
@@anthonyjolly2066 Stop it! You guys will be okay. If anything your recruiting will get better, being in the SEC. Hope that doesn't make you mad for me saying that. Look forward to it. I can't wait. You never know what will happen in a game. Look what happened to us at So. Carolina. What? We are still wondering who that was wearing the orange & white that night? We have great fans, you will see. No torturing involved...
@@beverlydorn9498 No! No! Your right that doesn't make me mad,I'm just expressing my concerns.I've seen Texas have a Top- 5,or 10 recruiting class year after year since the '05 title season.All the expectations,get our hopes up,then Texas ends up with a 6-6,or 5-7 record 😡I also seen a lot of these guys play in HS.Just a little overrated.Like a 5-Star should be more of a 4-Star.The Conference hasn't put out what SEC division Texas would be in.I'm guessing in the division with rival Texas A&M,LSU,Arkansas, Oklahoma,Missouri,and Alabama.A lot of people here in Texas,even our own Governor Abbott been wanting to see Horns vs Aggies.Man! we had nice little cocoon,then the powers that be had to mess things up.Sometimes things are good enough we'll left alone..ughh!🥴🥴
11 players on the field during play. About a hundred on the team. Hence, the fans at Texas A&M are referred to as the 12th man. The fans impact the game..
I went to Florida State, seeing Chief Osceola plant the flaming spear in the center of the field always got me excited for the upcoming game. It is one of my favorite college traditions.
These are so sick. You gotta appreciate that a lot of these guys schedules day to day are insanely loaded. You gotta love what you do to have the energy to keep that up.
I went to Clemson, That clip didn’t have the music (Tiger Rag). It is staggering how loud it is. My room was about 1.5 miles from the stadium, and still stupid obvious when the the team ran in. Also, the thing at the top is a rock from Death Valley California (the nickname of Frank Howard Field is ‘Death Valley’ (dont’ get me started on LSU about the nickname or the music).
The entrance is a huge part of football in general even at the High School level. I remember during my high school years running through a large banner with fireworks behind us while the band played our fight song. Its fully intended to get the home team and crowd juiced up and let me tell you it works because we’d be so ready to hit someone we’d be on the sidelines head butting each other 😂
College football is like having the playoffs for 14 games. One loss can keep out from playing for a national title….2 losses, that ship has sailed and you gotta aim for next year (the only 2 loss national champion in the BCS era (Bowl Championship Series) is the LSU Tigers in 2007) But normally that wouldn’t happen, you can make it and win with one loss but you would need alot of help (other teams have to lose to help your case) and in alot of cases some teams can go undefeated and never get in at all (factors like the conference you play in, the strength of your schedule, wins versus other ranked opponents, etc) which is wild alot of the time.
I always love it when the officers assigned as security get into it during the entrances, too. Like in the FSU clip,you can see the sheriff’s deputy’s hat bobbing up and down to the chant. Also, as a Hawkeye, I’d be remiss not to request that you check out The Wave if you do a football tradition reaction. It’s a beautiful tradition. Moving to watch on TV. INDESCRIBABLE in person. 🖤💛👋🏾 (Our entrance-aka The Swarm-isn’t too shabby either! 😉)
They can have as many as 85 players on a team. You have your starters, then your backups in the form of 2nd string 3rd string and even down to 4th string players. Guys get hurt all the time, so you need replacements, and sometimes replacements get hurt. The 49ers in the NFL was a good example of that this season, their number one QB got hurt, then number two, then number three, they were down to their 4th QB and that hurt them in the playoffs.
@@DNReacts Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park is the closest 'Premier League' atmosphere to a college game. They get really rowdy, and they have cheerleaders.
A max of 85 scholarship players are allowed each year in FBS (Division I), and 63 for FCS (Division II). Max player limit was 105, but that may have increased because of the new transfer portal that came 2 years ago. Not too sure. The players over the scholarship limit are walk-ons and pay their own way. I think the minimum player number needed aligns with scholarship limits. 25 scholarships are allowed to be given each year to incoming recruits (freshman or transfers). That limit has been suspended for the next two seasons, because the new transfer portal has caused a ton of roster turnover. Before the transfer portal, you'd have to sit out the following year at your new school if you switched. Now, you can transfer one time without sitting out the following year. If you transfer a second time, you'd have to sit out a year. The NCAA also gave every athlete who was in college at the time of COVID one extra year of eligibility (5 instead of 4), since so many games were canceled. So, athletes who are currently juniors or seniors still have their extra year if they choose to use it. Note: All athletes have 5 years to use 4 years of eligibility. Coaches will redshirt a freshman if they aren't ready to play (happens often in football) to save their full 4 years. In football, a player can still use a redshirt year if they haven't played above a certain percentage of the season's game (usually 4 games). A medical redshirt can be petitioned for and allow 6th year (6 years to play 4 years) if an athlete gets hurt early in the season.
10:55 I lived in South Carolina for 6 years and saw a few games there in my time. Williams-Brice Stadium holds 77,500ish officially. But as you can see in the video people often stock up on the spiral ramps of the concourse because for big games they will sell "concourse tickets" where you aren't guaranteed a spot but can find one standing along those rails. As a result some games see 160,000 attendees and 100,000 in the actual stadium.
every...single...game...it is taken up a notch for special games...also they left out the best entrance...Colorado Buffalos run out behind Ralfie the Buffalo...she is a sweet little 1,300 pound thing
Whats going to blow your mind, is that this is ultimately the culmination of a pre-event party that takes place in the parking lot, gentlemen, may I humbly suggest you research the "Tail Gate Party" phenomenon.
@@DNReacts They are tremendous fun, and run a spectrum in themselves, from the casual and relaxed all the way to the NFL's Buffalo Bills fans tail gate parties, that are essentially a North East U.S. version of the Lord Of The Flies.
Something they don't show in the videos which I love are the military jet flyovers. Most large college football games will have a flyover after the national anthem.
I'm sure it's been answered, but there's usually anywhere around 70 - 85 players dressed ready to play for the game per team. But 11 players per team on the field at one time. There's no limit on the number of substitutions that can be made, so players are constantly being changed in and out after every play.
American universities were once strongly tied to the military - dating back to the early 19th Century. Students were expected to participate in military science courses - this was especially true at universities with concentrations in the physical sciences. They would then receive commissions as officers in state militiae, subject to federal call-up in times of war. Marching bands are the product of that tradition. Because bugles, drums, and trumpets were used to communicate orders on a battlefield, university cadets would give demonstrations of precision marching and close order drill, based on musical cadence. The practice evolved to simply having the band itself do the marching. Those origins are the reason today's band uniforms still have a quasi-military, anachronistic sort of appearance - bear skin hats, epaulets, that type of thing.
Usually 85 dress for a home game. Players usually only play offense or defense with a few others like lineman or ball carriers playing special teams/kicking situations.It's more common in high school for players to play both sides of the ball but you usually specialize in college and even more so in the NFL.
The Tennessee entrance is called 'Running Through The T'. The T is formed by the UT Pride of the Southland Band. They've done this since 1965. It started in 1962 with the basketball team.
This how it is every game, if it’s against a very good opponent or a playoff game, a night game or a championship game it’s even bigger 😂 if that’s even possible
The atmosphere at a home game can be a big advantage for the home team. So the crowd can impact a game by being so loud that it throws the other team off their game. And yes, these are regular home games. Not championship games
Last comment I'm leaving for the night but if you guys liked this, I'd love to see you react to a video about the Kinnick Wave (a college football tradition). That's where I went to school and it's quickly become our proudest tradition. I'm a grown man who doesn't show a whole lot of emotion but it makes me tear up every time.
Normal game...its even bigger for a home game!!! Ive attended University of Oklahoma games and its crazy!!! Fireworks went off after each touchdown. And a coupke of times shrapnel fell on us!!!
Couple responses to some of your guys questions. The entrances are the same for every home game. For the amount of players the NCAA requires 85 players to be roasted but the max is over 100. For the NFL they can't have more than 53 players rostered.
Apologies if I'm not first, but for Clemson's entrance the object is Frank Howard's Rock. Frank Howard was a legendary Clemson coach. Clemson's home field is known as Death Valley. A Clemson booster from Howard's tenure went to California on vacation and brought back a rock from the natural Death Valley. The object is that rock...
Plz watch the Iowa home game traditions where they wave to the children next door at the Children's Hospital!!!! It brings a tear to my eye EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT!!!! Plz react to the Iowa home game tradition!!!
1) The number of players is roughly mid-80s. That's the number of full and partial scholarships (60ish)+ the few dozen walk-ons. 2) In the South-East, hence SouthEastern Conference (SEC: the best college football conference) this is EVERY single game! 3) We would love to have you over even if you know barely nothing. It's a party!
Come watch real football in the Midwest in November. The Big House is the biggest College Stadium in the world, holds 115,000 people. GO BLUE.!!!!!! Football in the cold weather is real football.
the third team with all of the yellow is michigan and that stadium is biggest in college football at 108,000. you mentioned the more yellow in the bottom corner of the stadium....that is the student section. current students get free tickets to the game and all sit in the student section. it is by far the rowdiest, loudest and most colorful part of every stadium (every team has student section)
I went to Clemson (the first team featured on this video where the players run down the hill). Clemson is a school that has a pretty good engineering department. There’s a lie upper-classmen tell Freshman to freak them out … they say, “don’t jump to hard in the student section during a game. Word has it that the engineering majors replaced the stadium support with bamboo as part of a study. I hope this is the year it doesn’t break.”
As a footnote, Virginia Tech, the school that has the Hokie mascot and enters to "Enter Sandman." That entrance shows up as seismic activity. That's not an exaggeration. If you don't know that Virginia Tech is having a football game, you might think there was a small earthquake in the area.
American football has 11 players on the field during offense and defense. But they have a 53 man roster to substitute players or replace injured players.
In the early days of the NFL, college football was the big deal and playing professionally wasn't what most people respected. The age of television was when the NFL really took off in popularity.
Due to the possibility of injuries in American football, the “travel squad” is about 50 to 60 guys compared to the 22 that you put on the field with both offense and defense When the game starts. It’s a big deal to make the “travel squad” as a young guy. The first time I made the travel squad as a freshman was a big deal. I wrote home to my parents.
Virginia Tech used to be the gobblers (Turkeys). But over time changed their name to the Hokies. A Hokie is a castrated Turkey like a gelding or a steer.
Y'all gonna tell me y'all went through two of these videos and didn't see the eagle fly once?! Missing out for sure! Check out Auburn's opening and some of their miracle plays. Deep culture and even deeper hatred for Bama and UGA. War Damn Eagle boys, y'all keep it up!
In my opinion, college football is far superior to watch than the NFL. You have to realize that these 18-21 year olds are working their asses off to get to that next level. They play their hardest and leave their blood sweat and tears along every inch of that field. Some may come from a family situation where the only hope of elevating themselves out of poverty is because of this kids athleticism. Some of the fans have watched these boys since they were playing in the 7th grade or before. It becomes such a whirlpool of feelings, nostalgia, team affiliation and tradition…. And you never know, the lil kid that lives across the street that you sometimes throw a football to may end up wearing a gold jacket one day as he is inducted into the Hall of Fame… who hasn’t thought of that or wished that upon someone. College ball is just another rung on that ladder from pee-wee league to the Hall of Fame and immortality….
Why so many players? 1. Teams have around 25 new players per yr that need developing. 2. The starters, #2s & best #3 back up players play significant snaps per game. 3. Scout teams, offensive/defensive players that are not quite good enough are used as practice dummies. They simulate the up coming opponents game plans in practice . This is done so the #1s can focus on what they need to do instead of playing the roll of the opponent in practice. 125 players per team with 85 scholarships players (per the rules ). Only 75 travel on away ganes .
Beaver Stadium (Penn State Nittany Lions) has decibel readers and the mini seisometers through out the measure the ground shaking and the noise made during a game (especially the white out).
College football doesnt have roster limits to my knowledge, it's basically just as many players as the school wants to pay for because there's no shortage of applicants
You guys need to watch the best entrance in my opinion!! Wisconsin University Jump Around! Nothing like watching 80,000 people collectively lose their freaking minds!
In Texas, Football is almost and some would say bigger than religion. In Texas, Football is a religion in itself. Even high school games get wild in Texas.
In the UT video (the orange team) they ran through the power T formation that the band makes. It's for the University of Tennessee and it's a pretty unique tradition that we have here. Not many people get to run through a letter symbolizing the team's name. Really proud to be a Vol fan. We have one of the coolest stadiums/traditions in all of football.
Colleges can have 85 players on scholarship and up to say 130 (including walk ons) on the team. These are back ups, practice squad players, players taking redshirt years, etc.
@DNaReacts The first one Clemson Tigers.... you feel it more when you see the version of them coming out the locker room putting the all in chips in the bucket 🪣! Getting on the buses🚌🚌 🚌 and riding around the stadium 🏟️ to get to the top of hill ! Guys please find that one and react! Salute love you guys reactions to the great sport we call football 🏈 here in the US! I think the bus ride to watch is Georgia at Clemson ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪
The yellow in that bottom corner of the Michigan game was the student section! Generally the rowdiest and honestly the drunkest section of fans at any college football game.
I grew up in metro Detroit and attended God knows how many University of Michigan Wolverine games over the decades in Ann Arbor, Michigan. (About 45 minutes west outside of Detroit). The stadium (known as "The Big House") was built in 1927, and at the time, was the largest stadium of any kind on Earth, with a maximum capacity of a little over 84,000 seats. It's been renovated through the decades. In the mid-1950's, it was modified to hold 101,000 people. In the mid-2000's, it was modified to hold 107,000 people. The highest attendance ever was a game between Michigan and Notre Dame in 2013, which had 115,109 people in the stadium. It remains the largest American football stadium in the world, and the third largest overall stadium in the world (the first is Narendra Modi Stadium in India, which houses 135,000 people, and the second is Rungrado 1st of May Stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea, which houses 114,000 people.) In their 7 home games in 2022, Michigan Stadium took in $46.3 million dollars in total football ticket revenue. In 2014, 109,318 fans watched Manchester United defeat Real Madrid 3-1 in an International Champions Cup match, which remains a record for a soccer match in the US. It's an EXTREMELY loud stadium, and the seating is deceptive, because most of the seats are beneath ground level. The stadium was literally built outwards and upwards from the bottom of a pit. The Michigan football program is also the winningest college football program in the country's history, with 989 overall wins since 1879. The teams tied for the second most wins ever are Ohio State (953) wins and the Alabama Crimson Tide (also 953 wins). Michigan vs. Ohio State is played every season, and is the final regular season game for both teams. It's widely considered to be the greatest rivalry in the sport, since more often than not, that particular game can make or break each team's seasons. Michigan and Ohio State also play in the same athletic conference, as well as the same division, in addition to being geographically adjacent to each other (the state of Ohio is immediately south of Michigan). Their annual game is referred to as "The Game" because everyone in the nation knows who's playing in it without any specifics being needed. It routinely sets TV ratings records.
You need a lot of players because of all the injuries. There could be as many as three or four quarterbacks on a team because of the importance of the position and how often they can get hurt.

They way college football works one loss can keep you out of the playoff, so every weekend is an important game
Correction. The way the college football "playoff" works
You need Ohio State, Alabama, and either Clemson or Georgia, plus some random university that over-performed that season.
@@heywoodjablowme8120very very over exaggeration and disrespect to the other conferences buddy.
@@tyreek.6815 Not really an exaggeration since SEC teams won 6 of the last 10 championships......and 7 in a row before that! They also have the most NFL players by a good margin.
@@heywoodjablowme8120 pac 12 is barely even considered college football compared to the mighty SEC
@@heywoodjablowme8120 the SEC has totally dominated for the last 30 years … that’s quite the “ cycle”
There are approximately 100 players on each roster. Don't forget - this is still college (they are 18-22 years old) and most are on scholarship receiving a free college education, enjoying continuing to play football and will then enter the real world after graduation like the rest of us. Only about 1% of high school players play Division 1 football and about 1% of those players make it to the NFL.
These entrances are for a typical game played every Saturday. It's even bigger for rivalries, Bowl Games and obviously the National Championship.
At the highest level of college football, teams are allowed 85 scholarship players per season. The number only approaches 100 for home games where the "walk-ons" (pay their own tuition) get to dress and be on the sideline. Visiting teams are limited to 70 players.
College football runs from late August to the first week in December. There are only about 6 home games each year, so each one is pretty special. However, if it is your rival or the teams are highly ranked then they tend to get more hype.
And likely more interesting. Been to many a Ga/Ga Tech/ Clemson games. It's pretty nuts every game.
College football is arguably bigger the the NFL in the US. It's HUGE and INSANELY fun to be in a crowd like that.
Most of these are like homecoming or rivalry games that everyone gets extra excited for
There's definitely a few games like this every year for each school though
Most of the time I get a bigger kick out of a college games than a NFL game.
No arguably about it. It is a fact. By any measurement, college football is bigger than the NFL.
Agreed
The second walkout is Virginia Tech, to Enter Sandman, and the stadium holds around 60,000 people and they regularly create seismic activity(small earthquakes). My sister goes there so I have been to a few games and nothing compares to that atmosphere truly. Insane.
Agree with this! I'm an SEC grad and of course, we think our football traditions are the best in the nation but when it comes to best entrance, it's Virginia Tech, period. I hope that passion never changes, even with Coach Beamer's retirement.
Each time it registers on the Richter Scale (which measures earthquakes)
4:30 That particularly bright yellow corner is probably the students' section. Typically, students (and sometimes alumni) of American universities get free or very cheap tickets to school sporting events, and they have a whole section reserved for them at all the sports venues. Of course, by nature students tend to have a ton of school spirit, which means that they _pack_ the students' section, all decked out in the wide variety of school-colored t-shirts, jackets, scarves, and hats that are inevitably available at the university bookstore.
Seeing enter sandman always gives me chills and I'm no VA tech fan at all. Whenever I see it at night I marvel at people who don't get sports. What an atmosphere
Every game is insane because every game of the season is important. But the night games, in state rivalry games, and conference games are a different beast all in itself lol.
dont forget about home coming and senior night games.. so yeah pretty much every game lol
Every game isn't going to be important anymore.
They're degrading the magic of college football by trying to model it after the NFL for money.
Yes, this is every college game. Each team plays 6 games at home, 6 on the road. Football is a religion in America with the kids (under 18) playing on Friday's, the boy (18-22) playing on Saturday's, and the men playing on Sunday's. Each of these stadiums are cathedral's dedicated to the game. A game which, by the way, is a war between two opposing forces, and most of the terminology of the game is taken from war strategies and tactics.
@@lagronemikal That would be 7 and 5, but I see your point.
Great reaction! It's the perfect combination of factors that generates this type of enthusiasm -- the students who are attending the school, the alumni of the school, and the community in general -- in some cases the school is hundreds of miles from a professional football team. It becomes an event -- a before, during, and after party. Fans, bands, cheerleaders, mascots -- and of course, the actual game, which is high level and exciting competition. The South does it the best -- but there are pockets in the East, Mid-West and West. There are better videos than this one -- I think it's called "the best American sports fans" which features college football and college basketball. The March Madness college basketball videos are crazy -- featuring last second buzzer beaters.
Thank you! We really enjoyed this one!
While some of this is excitement for a "normal" game, there are very few "normal" games in college football. You have rivalry games and homecoming games, which bring out a lot of alumni. Also, prior to the college football playoff system, the National Champion was determined by a poll, which meant that 1 loss could end you chances at a championship. This meant that every game was essentially a playoff game.
They missed the University of Colorado entrance with Ralphie (a actual American Bison runs the field).
Just curious here. How many Ralphies have there been at Colorado University?

@@UnreliableFuture Good to know. Thanks. 😊
I always thought the Iowa Hawkeye wave with the children's hospital was super neat.
College football stadiums still blow my mind to this day. I went to a Penn State white out game once and my ears were ringing for 3 days after that😂😂
Went to Tcu vs Texas this year in Austin Texas and it was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before! The atmosphere over the whole city was crazy all weekend leading up to the game!! And the pregame atmosphere was unreal!!
College football is amazing. When I was at LSU football games in college it was one of the most electric events I have ever witnessed. Most universities have so many students and their families attended that university producing even more fans and we show up for our team!
I live in Nebraska USA and I remember that night. This video brought tears down my face thank you I enjoy watching your family and videos about America.. my fathers family came to Plymouth Massachusetts on the ship the Hopewell in 1635 during the puritan migration so I always feel like the UK is family..
Anytime the video of Coach Osborne is shown I can't help but to shed some tears.
Home game atmosphere at places like Ohio State and Tennessee are on another level. It's massively theatrical and you can't help but get swept up in it. Certainly they'd never go for this buildup in EPL or the Bundesliga, but if they did it would be glorious
It's every game. I'm from Tennessee, part of the (SEC) South Eastern Conference. We go crazy every weekend. College Football is a religion in the South. Love it much more than the NFL, but love them too. Enjoying your channel...
Exactly! Beverly! FACTS!👍 I'm from Texas.Yes! a Texas Longhorns Fan Since '98.I call The Best Conference in College Football "The NFL minor leagues "😂😂 We...well,they, other UT will be seeing and hearing ROCKY TOP in either 2023,or 2024.I HATE that Texas STUPIDITY joined the SEC.I said Nooooo!😳 what a foolish money grab move.when I saw on my local news that night.I was so angry,I just put my arms on top of my head yelling obscenities at my TV!😡😡It went something like this:👉"What the (BLEEP) we can't even beat,TCU (you seen what Georgia did to them..MERCY!😳) Univ.Washington,Texas Tech.What the (BLEEP) are they doing? There goes any Conference Titles,No Bowl games.Hell, Kentucky is now good in football" The Tennessee Vols Band and kickoff team is going to get winded by the 2nd quarter,they will have to pre-record thier Fight Song.The kickoff team wouldn't even run down field.Just kick the ball into the 3rd row with the 4th string kicker.😳😳 I HATE that Texas is leaving.Stay in The Big-12 where we can at least win 7- games.I bought all the 2005 National Championship Gear I could.Don't believe the 3rd ranked recruiting class rankings of 2023,but our HS football is not as good as it use to be.I follow it very closely here in Texas.Nice Checkerboard End Zone!👍🏈🇺🇲
@@anthonyjolly2066 Welcome to the SEC, best conference ever. You will love it. Trust me! Nothing like Saturday in the SEC. Can't wait for the UT vs the other UT game. Go Big Orange, Rocky Top will be Rocking!!!
@@beverlydorn9498Yeah! no argument from me.Boy! I'm so scared,that I could make coffee nervous!😳I seen the SEC on CBS and it's network..GEESH! the speed,the size,the pure athletes.We will look like Texas Christian University (TCU) in every game.The Board of Regents at Texas is going to REGRET joining the SEC.We are NOT good enough.I haven't stop shaking my NO! since I heard of Texas making this move.So,what we have Sarkisian,(no relation to the singer,actress Cher..yes that's her last name) We just lost the Alamo Bowl to Washington.😡Even though #11 Jalen Hyatt is going too the NFL,still Tenn.with HC Josh Heipel just put the next Parade All-American in at WR.Bevely,we don't have those athletes.It will be fun for Vols fans,not the other UT.We are doomed.We might beat the other,other, school in Tennessee, Vanderbilt in 3OT's.That song 'Bama band and fans was singing something like "Hey! Texas,we're going to beat the hell out you" I was at that game,I was scared of those SEC fans.I wore just a white plain T-shirt.Yes! Rocky Top,and Smokey will get tired of doing push-ups.The Eyes Of Texas gets played only 1-time...after the beat down.I hope Texas goes too KNOCKS-ville..oops! I mean Knoxville.😂 I call it that,bc they are going to KNOCK our 'Horns in the turf at beautiful Neyland Stadium.Thank You for being kind.Texas Fans don't deserve this torture..we don't.. it's not right!😭🥴🥴
@@anthonyjolly2066 Stop it! You guys will be okay. If anything your recruiting will get better, being in the SEC. Hope that doesn't make you mad for me saying that. Look forward to it. I can't wait. You never know what will happen in a game. Look what happened to us at So. Carolina. What? We are still wondering who that was wearing the orange & white that night? We have great fans, you will see. No torturing involved...
@@beverlydorn9498 No! No! Your right that doesn't make me mad,I'm just expressing my concerns.I've seen Texas have a Top- 5,or 10 recruiting class year after year since the '05 title season.All the expectations,get our hopes up,then Texas ends up with a 6-6,or 5-7 record 😡I also seen a lot of these guys play in HS.Just a little overrated.Like a 5-Star should be more of a 4-Star.The Conference hasn't put out what SEC division Texas would be in.I'm guessing in the division with rival Texas A&M,LSU,Arkansas, Oklahoma,Missouri,and Alabama.A lot of people here in Texas,even our own Governor Abbott been wanting to see Horns vs Aggies.Man! we had nice little cocoon,then the powers that be had to mess things up.Sometimes things are good enough we'll left alone..ughh!🥴🥴
11 players on the field during play. About a hundred on the team. Hence, the fans at Texas A&M are referred to as the 12th man. The fans impact the game..
I completely see why. The fans are brilliant!
I went to Florida State, seeing Chief Osceola plant the flaming spear in the center of the field always got me excited for the upcoming game. It is one of my favorite college traditions.
These are so sick. You gotta appreciate that a lot of these guys schedules day to day are insanely loaded. You gotta love what you do to have the energy to keep that up.
I went to Clemson, That clip didn’t have the music (Tiger Rag). It is staggering how loud it is. My room was about 1.5 miles from the stadium, and still stupid obvious when the the team ran in. Also, the thing at the top is a rock from Death Valley California (the nickname of Frank Howard Field is ‘Death Valley’ (dont’ get me started on LSU about the nickname or the music).
Some might be more hyped for big games, but there are big entrances before all games.
Pretty much.
The entrance is a huge part of football in general even at the High School level. I remember during my high school years running through a large banner with fireworks behind us while the band played our fight song. Its fully intended to get the home team and crowd juiced up and let me tell you it works because we’d be so ready to hit someone we’d be on the sidelines head butting each other 😂
College football is like having the playoffs for 14 games. One loss can keep out from playing for a national title….2 losses, that ship has sailed and you gotta aim for next year (the only 2 loss national champion in the BCS era (Bowl Championship Series) is the LSU Tigers in 2007) But normally that wouldn’t happen, you can make it and win with one loss but you would need alot of help (other teams have to lose to help your case) and in alot of cases some teams can go undefeated and never get in at all (factors like the conference you play in, the strength of your schedule, wins versus other ranked opponents, etc) which is wild alot of the time.
I always love it when the officers assigned as security get into it during the entrances, too. Like in the FSU clip,you can see the sheriff’s deputy’s hat bobbing up and down to the chant.
Also, as a Hawkeye, I’d be remiss not to request that you check out The Wave if you do a football tradition reaction. It’s a beautiful tradition. Moving to watch on TV. INDESCRIBABLE in person. 🖤💛👋🏾 (Our entrance-aka The Swarm-isn’t too shabby either! 😉)
Every red-blooded American football fan marks their calendars for September 1st. Autumn in the U.S. is GLORIOUS. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🏈🏈🏈
They can have as many as 85 players on a team. You have your starters, then your backups in the form of 2nd string 3rd string and even down to 4th string players. Guys get hurt all the time, so you need replacements, and sometimes replacements get hurt. The 49ers in the NFL was a good example of that this season, their number one QB got hurt, then number two, then number three, they were down to their 4th QB and that hurt them in the playoffs.
Yall gotta come to the SEC and see a game. Experience it!!! Especially a rivalry game. I recommend the Iron Bowl. Auburn vs. Alabama.
I've seen videos of fans at soccer matches in Europe and it looks absolutely insane.
Yeah some of them can be so good!
@@DNReacts Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park is the closest 'Premier League' atmosphere to a college game. They get really rowdy, and they have cheerleaders.
Thrilled they included my Vols in the reaction vids. Less than thrilled that it was a clip from the Butch Jones era.
A max of 85 scholarship players are allowed each year in FBS (Division I), and 63 for FCS (Division II). Max player limit was 105, but that may have increased because of the new transfer portal that came 2 years ago. Not too sure. The players over the scholarship limit are walk-ons and pay their own way. I think the minimum player number needed aligns with scholarship limits.
25 scholarships are allowed to be given each year to incoming recruits (freshman or transfers). That limit has been suspended for the next two seasons, because the new transfer portal has caused a ton of roster turnover.
Before the transfer portal, you'd have to sit out the following year at your new school if you switched. Now, you can transfer one time without sitting out the following year. If you transfer a second time, you'd have to sit out a year.
The NCAA also gave every athlete who was in college at the time of COVID one extra year of eligibility (5 instead of 4), since so many games were canceled. So, athletes who are currently juniors or seniors still have their extra year if they choose to use it.
Note: All athletes have 5 years to use 4 years of eligibility. Coaches will redshirt a freshman if they aren't ready to play (happens often in football) to save their full 4 years. In football, a player can still use a redshirt year if they haven't played above a certain percentage of the season's game (usually 4 games). A medical redshirt can be petitioned for and allow 6th year (6 years to play 4 years) if an athlete gets hurt early in the season.
10:55 I lived in South Carolina for 6 years and saw a few games there in my time. Williams-Brice Stadium holds 77,500ish officially. But as you can see in the video people often stock up on the spiral ramps of the concourse because for big games they will sell "concourse tickets" where you aren't guaranteed a spot but can find one standing along those rails. As a result some games see 160,000 attendees and 100,000 in the actual stadium.
Thanks for the comment Liam - That is crazy, 160,000!! That must have been some atmosphere
Nothing like football under the lights of Willy B USC Columbia SC
every...single...game...it is taken up a notch for special games...also they left out the best entrance...Colorado Buffalos run out behind Ralfie the Buffalo...she is a sweet little 1,300 pound thing
Please react to college and high school football teams doing the “Haka” ritual dance.
Every game man, it's a special tradition.
Whats going to blow your mind, is that this is ultimately the culmination of a pre-event party that takes place in the parking lot, gentlemen, may I humbly suggest you research the "Tail Gate Party" phenomenon.
We’ve heard of tailgating! Sounds so much fun!
@@DNReacts They are tremendous fun, and run a spectrum in themselves, from the casual and relaxed all the way to the NFL's Buffalo Bills fans tail gate parties, that are essentially a North East U.S. version of the Lord Of The Flies.
Nothing beats getting to play your rival in a ranked game on prime time tv
Something they don't show in the videos which I love are the military jet flyovers. Most large college football games will have a flyover after the national anthem.
That’s so cool!
I'm sure it's been answered, but there's usually anywhere around 70 - 85 players dressed ready to play for the game per team. But 11 players per team on the field at one time.
There's no limit on the number of substitutions that can be made, so players are constantly being changed in and out after every play.
American universities were once strongly tied to the military - dating back to the early 19th Century. Students were expected to participate in military science courses - this was especially true at universities with concentrations in the physical sciences. They would then receive commissions as officers in state militiae, subject to federal call-up in times of war.
Marching bands are the product of that tradition. Because bugles, drums, and trumpets were used to communicate orders on a battlefield, university cadets would give demonstrations of precision marching and close order drill, based on musical cadence.
The practice evolved to simply having the band itself do the marching. Those origins are the reason today's band uniforms still have a quasi-military, anachronistic sort of appearance - bear skin hats, epaulets, that type of thing.
Usually 85 dress for a home game. Players usually only play offense or defense with a few others like lineman or ball carriers playing special teams/kicking situations.It's more common in high school for players to play both sides of the ball but you usually specialize in college and even more so in the NFL.
The Tennessee entrance is called 'Running Through The T'. The T is formed by the UT Pride of the Southland Band. They've done this since 1965. It started in 1962 with the basketball team.
It's criminal that this video doesn't include Colorado and their live Buffalo that leads the team out onto the field.
I live in Colorado and LOVE the Ralphie intro! I’m a native Texan; Texas Longhorns fan forever but damn, that Ralphie running intro is the coolest!!
@@DPRyan-vd5pp I'm an Aggie by marriage and I agree that Ralphie is the top live mascot in college football.
The Hokie fans jumping to Enter Sandman is actually measurable on the Richter scale locally and every single game is like that.
This how it is every game, if it’s against a very good opponent or a playoff game, a night game or a championship game it’s even bigger 😂 if that’s even possible
The atmosphere at a home game can be a big advantage for the home team. So the crowd can impact a game by being so loud that it throws the other team off their game. And yes, these are regular home games. Not championship games
Someday you must come over to visit, tailgate and get a game. You’d love it.
these are usually when they are playing a rival school or a big bowl.
Major college FB teams carry about 100 players. Each program ( team) gets 86 scholarships to give student-athletes.
the dark yellow in the corner is the student section. in every stadium there will be a bright corner that is their student section.
Last comment I'm leaving for the night but if you guys liked this, I'd love to see you react to a video about the Kinnick Wave (a college football tradition). That's where I went to school and it's quickly become our proudest tradition. I'm a grown man who doesn't show a whole lot of emotion but it makes me tear up every time.
Thanks for this one, I have added to our watch list!
Normal game...its even bigger for a home game!!! Ive attended University of Oklahoma games and its crazy!!! Fireworks went off after each touchdown. And a coupke of times shrapnel fell on us!!!
just an Ordinary Saturday in the Fall for us
Couple responses to some of your guys questions. The entrances are the same for every home game. For the amount of players the NCAA requires 85 players to be roasted but the max is over 100. For the NFL they can't have more than 53 players rostered.
Thank you for confirming Steve, great info!
Apologies if I'm not first, but for Clemson's entrance the object is Frank Howard's Rock. Frank Howard was a legendary Clemson coach. Clemson's home field is known as Death Valley. A Clemson booster from Howard's tenure went to California on vacation and brought back a rock from the natural Death Valley. The object is that rock...
Thanks for the info Warren!
@@DNReacts De nada (you're welcome), gentlemen...more info: Clemson vs. South Carolina is the South Carolina derby...
That's every game it's like that.
University of Michigan has a stadium that holds 100 thousand people. It's called "The Big House".
fly overs are also soo hype
Plz watch the Iowa home game traditions where they wave to the children next door at the Children's Hospital!!!! It brings a tear to my eye EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT!!!! Plz react to the Iowa home game tradition!!!
Find the video of Penn State's White Out entrance vs Michigan, if you want to be impressed.
1) The number of players is roughly mid-80s. That's the number of full and partial scholarships (60ish)+ the few dozen walk-ons.
2) In the South-East, hence SouthEastern Conference (SEC: the best college football conference) this is EVERY single game!
3) We would love to have you over even if you know barely nothing. It's a party!
Roll Tide
Come watch real football in the Midwest in November. The Big House is the biggest College Stadium in the world, holds 115,000 people. GO BLUE.!!!!!! Football in the cold weather is real football.
"There's nothing at stake" = every normal game is for everything.
EVERY HOME GAME, AWAY GAME FOR EVERY COLLEGE FOOTBALL! IN AMERICA 🇺🇲🏈
the third team with all of the yellow is michigan and that stadium is biggest in college football at 108,000. you mentioned the more yellow in the bottom corner of the stadium....that is the student section. current students get free tickets to the game and all sit in the student section. it is by far the rowdiest, loudest and most colorful part of every stadium (every team has student section)
I went to Clemson (the first team featured on this video where the players run down the hill). Clemson is a school that has a pretty good engineering department. There’s a lie upper-classmen tell Freshman to freak them out … they say, “don’t jump to hard in the student section during a game. Word has it that the engineering majors replaced the stadium support with bamboo as part of a study. I hope this is the year it doesn’t break.”
if i can remember im pretty sure it has the largest fan capacity in the USA
College football is an all day experience. You have to check out videos of all the tailgating that happens before the game even starts!!!
You should watch college football traditions. They are amazing
This one is in the playlists, hope you found it okay 🤞
As a footnote, Virginia Tech, the school that has the Hokie mascot and enters to "Enter Sandman." That entrance shows up as seismic activity. That's not an exaggeration. If you don't know that Virginia Tech is having a football game, you might think there was a small earthquake in the area.
When Bama plays Dixie land delight (not an entrance) it rivals all these
For most bigger schools yea it's like this every game. For instance Michigan always sells out home games and their capacity is well over 100k seats.
American football has 11 players on the field during offense and defense. But they have a 53 man roster to substitute players or replace injured players.
You might enjoy some classic ESPN ads.
The second clip is from the Ohio State vs Virginia Tech game in 2015 I believe.
In the early days of the NFL, college football was the big deal and playing professionally wasn't what most people respected. The age of television was when the NFL really took off in popularity.
Due to the possibility of injuries in American football, the “travel squad” is about 50 to 60 guys compared to the 22 that you put on the field with both offense and defense When the game starts.
It’s a big deal to make the “travel squad” as a young guy. The first time I made the travel squad as a freshman was a big deal. I wrote home to my parents.
Virginia Tech used to be the gobblers (Turkeys). But over time changed their name to the Hokies. A Hokie is a castrated Turkey like a gelding or a steer.
Teams can have a roster of up to 125 active players.
Y'all gonna tell me y'all went through two of these videos and didn't see the eagle fly once?! Missing out for sure! Check out Auburn's opening and some of their miracle plays. Deep culture and even deeper hatred for Bama and UGA. War Damn Eagle boys, y'all keep it up!
The best college football tradition is still the Iowa wave!
In my opinion, college football is far superior to watch than the NFL. You have to realize that these 18-21 year olds are working their asses off to get to that next level. They play their hardest and leave their blood sweat and tears along every inch of that field. Some may come from a family situation where the only hope of elevating themselves out of poverty is because of this kids athleticism. Some of the fans have watched these boys since they were playing in the 7th grade or before. It becomes such a whirlpool of feelings, nostalgia, team affiliation and tradition…. And you never know, the lil kid that lives across the street that you sometimes throw a football to may end up wearing a gold jacket one day as he is inducted into the Hall of Fame… who hasn’t thought of that or wished that upon someone. College ball is just another rung on that ladder from pee-wee league to the Hall of Fame and immortality….
Why so many players?
1. Teams have around 25 new players per yr that need developing.
2. The starters, #2s & best #3 back up players play significant snaps per game.
3. Scout teams, offensive/defensive players that are not quite good enough are used as practice dummies. They simulate the up coming opponents game plans in practice . This is done so the #1s can focus on what they need to do instead of playing the roll of the opponent in practice.
125 players per team with 85 scholarships players (per the rules ). Only 75 travel on away ganes .
Beaver Stadium (Penn State Nittany Lions) has decibel readers and the mini seisometers through out the measure the ground shaking and the noise made during a game (especially the white out).
College football doesnt have roster limits to my knowledge, it's basically just as many players as the school wants to pay for because there's no shortage of applicants
Could you guys do a reaction to a video called the game the NFL wants you to forget by KTO ?
We will add it to the list!
@@DNReacts TY
You guys need to watch the best entrance in my opinion!! Wisconsin University Jump Around! Nothing like watching 80,000 people collectively lose their freaking minds!
Thanks Logan - We came across this one in another video which is due out soon! Looked crazy and I’d have loved to have been there joining in 😅
In Texas, Football is almost and some would say bigger than religion.
In Texas, Football is a religion in itself.
Even high school games get wild in Texas.
6:15 Yeah, they're all on the same team. College and NFL teams have massive rosters due to injuries etc.
In the UT video (the orange team) they ran through the power T formation that the band makes. It's for the University of Tennessee and it's a pretty unique tradition that we have here. Not many people get to run through a letter symbolizing the team's name. Really proud to be a Vol fan. We have one of the coolest stadiums/traditions in all of football.
Thanks for the info Tim!
@@DNReacts Last time I checked, we have the 8th largest stadium in the world. College football really is different!
@@DNReactsthe stadium seats 103,000
Colleges can have 85 players on scholarship and up to say 130 (including walk ons) on the team. These are back ups, practice squad players, players taking redshirt years, etc.

We will do!
If you are ever in Texas, I would be happy to give you a College Football experience. It is really special.

The yellow in that bottom corner of the Michigan game was the student section! Generally the rowdiest and honestly the drunkest section of fans at any college football game.
60 players get to suit up per game.
It's like this every game.
I grew up in metro Detroit and attended God knows how many University of Michigan Wolverine games over the decades in Ann Arbor, Michigan. (About 45 minutes west outside of Detroit). The stadium (known as "The Big House") was built in 1927, and at the time, was the largest stadium of any kind on Earth, with a maximum capacity of a little over 84,000 seats. It's been renovated through the decades. In the mid-1950's, it was modified to hold 101,000 people.
In the mid-2000's, it was modified to hold 107,000 people. The highest attendance ever was a game between Michigan and Notre Dame in 2013, which had 115,109 people in the stadium. It remains the largest American football stadium in the world, and the third largest overall stadium in the world (the first is Narendra Modi Stadium in India, which houses 135,000 people, and the second is Rungrado 1st of May Stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea, which houses 114,000 people.)
In their 7 home games in 2022, Michigan Stadium took in $46.3 million dollars in total football ticket revenue.
In 2014, 109,318 fans watched Manchester United defeat Real Madrid 3-1 in an International Champions Cup match, which remains a record for a soccer match in the US. It's an EXTREMELY loud stadium, and the seating is deceptive, because most of the seats are beneath ground level. The stadium was literally built outwards and upwards from the bottom of a pit.
The Michigan football program is also the winningest college football program in the country's history, with 989 overall wins since 1879. The teams tied for the second most wins ever are Ohio State (953) wins and the Alabama Crimson Tide (also 953 wins). Michigan vs. Ohio State is played every season, and is the final regular season game for both teams. It's widely considered to be the greatest rivalry in the sport, since more often than not, that particular game can make or break each team's seasons. Michigan and Ohio State also play in the same athletic conference, as well as the same division, in addition to being geographically adjacent to each other (the state of Ohio is immediately south of Michigan). Their annual game is referred to as "The Game" because everyone in the nation knows who's playing in it without any specifics being needed. It routinely sets TV ratings records.
Didn't do the first one justice. Re-watch it from the true beginning
You get this in college stadiums across the whole country on Saturdays
You need a lot of players because of all the injuries. There could be as many as three or four quarterbacks on a team because of the importance of the position and how often they can get hurt.
