3:07 The Seminole tribal council officially endorses the use of Chief Osceola's image and likeness by the university. They have specific requirements for his dress and make-up in order to depict him in an accurate and dignified way. Students who assume the role are given detailed information about Chief Osceola specifically, as well as Seminole history and culture in a broader sense. The Seminole nation is the only indigenous tribe never to have signed a treaty with the US government. Thus, they regard themselves as an unconquered people. Or, so goes the story. Like many absolute claims, I'm sure a stickler could poke holes in it. Regardless of the details, Florida State is well onside as far as decency is concerned. They have made a sincere effort to gain approval of the use of the Seminole name and to do right by it.
The Florida State Seminoles have the blessing of the Seminole Tribe. Chief Osceola was a real leader of the Seminole Indians in the 1800's. I don't think the guy dressed up as Chief Osceola has to be a Seminole Indian.
13:09 Chief Osceola is honoring the Seminole tribe of Native Americans from south Florida. As does the warchant(the song that you heard). Florida State has been working with the Seminole tribe for decades to assure that they're honorably representing the Seminoles in a respectful way...as opposed to simply culturally appropriating them as a bunch of other teams have done.
Very annoying when folks have no clue bashing a fun tradition. Like so many woke folks bashing things and pretending to be offended when folks Involved are participating.
The question at the 11:10 mark ,"do the opposing fans travel" can be answered. In the SEC the teams are required by the league to offer at least 10,000 seats to visiting teams. They do not have to take them all but most do. About the Vol Navy. Technically the coast guard can give a DWI in Tn but very rare occurrence (esp at a home Vol game.)
And it depends on the schools as well, as some have fanbases that are either large enough that regardless of where they're playing they have fans nearby, or are willing to travel to support their school. That's one thing being a Nebraska fan we can still be proud of is our fans' turnout even on the road. But no one's really missing out on much leaving Nebraska for a few days, hence the willingness to get the hell out of here.
11:55 in college football, drinking in the stands is rare. There are a few schools that sell beer, but the vast majority don't. However, a whole bunch of fans get pissed ass drunk prior to entering the stadium.
Except for neutral site games the vast majority of a crowd will be home team fans. Where the visiting fans sit varies depending on how they came about their ticket. Most colleges will have a section dedicated to the visiting teams’ season ticket holders but if a visiting fan just buys their ticket individually like anyone else they’ll just be blended into the rest of the crowd.
The only game I can think of that we (University of Oklahoma) go to, aside from when we play Oklahoma State... is Texas. It's the Red River Rivalry and it doesn't happen at either school. It's at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas and it's during the Texas State Fair.
@@melindacastaneda Yeah. They showed a tiny clip of the OU Schooner with the Rough Necks running behind it onto the field. But it was short, and I wish the video that they watched explained some of the traditions. Oh, and... BOOMER SOONER! 🤣😉
The person with the sword is actually the Drum Major for the University of Southern California Trojans. They begin their pregame music with the stabbing of the field (even when on the road). It is not always a man either. In 2019, the Drum Major was a woman who honestly did the stab better than some men in the past! #FightOn Also, the Army/Navy tradition is the only one in this video that happens at the end of the game. The point is to "Sing Second" as the winner of the game, gets to sing last.
Texas vs OKlahoma in October gets interesting they meet every year halfway from from their campuses in Dallas, Tx and also the Texas state fair will be open
I'm alittle bias to rammer jammer and Dixieland delight at Bryant Denny stadium but the Iowa Hawkeyes wave to the children's hospital is by far my favorite and it's one of the newest. The white out in happy valley is also absolutely insane
The part where a guy is spinning a silver sword.... that is the Univ. So.Cal. Trojans (USC) at the Los Angeles Coliseum. For many years their crosstown rivals, Univ of Cal at Los Angeles (UCLA) played at the same stadium (100,000+). And every year they play against eachother...red on one side, blue on the other. (PS: the buffalo is the mascot of the Colorado University Buffaloes..... the Univ of Washington is near Seattle and they too have docks for boats)
There generally is a visitors section where those tickets were provided to the visiting school to sell. The large sections of color are, almost without fail, the student section. The students get a good deal on season tickets and they're all put together to make an enormously rowdy section of the stadium.
Well part 3 has the best tradition in all of college football so you guys should definitely react to part 3 as well! Love seeing your football reactions!
Alabama vs Auburn! They're both teams in Alabama and have a huge rivalry. When I first moved to Alabama everyone asked me, "Roll Tide or War Eagle?" It got old, lol. But that game every year is the most anticipated down here, and Alabama has had the most wins of any college team in the last 13 years I believe, if you need another reason to come see them play. Looking forward to your visit and subsequent videos all about it! Also I grew up in New Jersey, the food up there is amazing, that is all. 🎤😊👍🏻
The college stadium with by far the best water access is Husky Stadium at the University of Washington. The stadium sits right on lake Washington, you can park your boat and walk directly into the stadium. Not like the craptastic garbage at Tennessee where you have to park your boat in the river next to an industrial plant, get off, walk down and across the street and then use the standard stadium entrance. Husky Stadium created sailgating, and nobody does it better. And when you combine the sailgating with the impressive views of Lake Washington and both the Cascades and Olympic Mountains from inside, you understand why Husky Stadium is referd to as "The Greatest Setting in College Sports".
Most college football games have a section (usually behind the visitors sideline) where they reserve a block of seats for the visiting team. Other fans and supporters of a visiting team will buy whatever seats are available. There are obviously more students who go to away games when they are closer to their campus. The school I am sure has bus transportation available for their students to go. Also a lot of college football conferences and teams do not sell alcohol at college games partially to eliminate bad behavior and also because with the drinking age in the US at 21 nowadays most college students are not officially allowed to drink. As for FSU mascots Osceola and Renegade, they became the official mascots for the school around 1978 I believe. The 1st person to portray Osceola's family now selects the students who will get to play the part. There is a 2 year apprenticeship of sorts and the student must meet physical requirements and riding ability and maintain a minimum of (I believe) a 3.0 grade point avg. The costume and all related things are with the approval of the Seminole Nations leadership. The person portraying Osceola is required to maintain character and be on best behavior whenever in costume and at all times be respectful of the dignity of the Seminole people. The person now portraying Osceola is the 16th person to have been chosen for that job. Cheers Guys!!
I’m a Seminole booster. Chief Osceola, is an historical figure. Help African Americans during slavery and is white/Native American. Florida state has a contract with the Seminole tribe and everything is approved by them.
The Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech is the 1930 Ford Model A Sport coupe that serves as the official mascot of the student body at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The Wreck is present at all major sporting events and student body functions.
At 2:59...that is my college Auburn University. Went to school there, got my degree, worked there and retired from there. I attend all of the home games and like most colleges, we have our traditions as well. Our team is the Auburn Tigers, but War Eagle is our battle cry as it relates to a very old legend involving a Eagle who circled our football field one day during an important game with a rival and it inspired our team to win. So, we let the training Eagle fly as part of our storied tradition. My photo was taken inside the stadium during a game. At 6:30, another tradition, rolling the Toomer's Corner trees located downtown Auburn with toilet paper after a winning football game. WAR EAGLE!
Another thing about Florida State, they were taken to court about our name because other teams or 1 team or just people in general thought we were ruining the Native American name and culture. We went to court and FOUGHT for our name and PROVED that we had the permission of the Seminole tribe and actually a portion of the money the school makes is given to the tribe. We showed that we had the utmost respect for the Seminole tribe and that’s why we take honor in our name and our traditions at Florida State. Needless to say we won and got to keep our name and mascot.
at most collage sports events in the states, the only separation of fans is the student section. You can very easily tell were this is because it has the most of the home color with little to none of the away team. This is because 1) students get cheaper tickets at home stadiums and 2) they are the most dedicated fans and look way better when all together rather than spread out
I played football at Abilene Christian University in the 90's. The freshmen have to ring a huge bell for 24 hours straight before homecoming kickoff. Its up to the upper classmen and professors to stop the ringing... Got pretty rough at times
This video had some of the things missing in the previous College Football Traditions. However, the clips were too short and it was unclear what they were focusing on. A better edited video (with some better camera angles as well) would have been nice to see. Thanks Office Blokes for at least trying to satisfy viewers by finding the video. It is nice to know you guys definitely read the comments. Keep up the good work. Cheers -
So all of the mascots are based on their teams nickname. The Buffalo taking the field was for the Colorado Buffalo's for example so they, like many other schools, have a live mascot. The LSU Tigers have a real live tiger, the Georgia Bulldogs have a bulldog on the sideline, and so on. Also as far as traveling fans, yes each college team tends to have a pretty decent chunk that travels. Typically maybe 10K and they put a large chunk of them in one section usually the upper deck corners. Other scattered fans typically buy through resell like stubhub. College's are different in that they play in individual geographical conferences so travel is much easier. The biggest conference in college is the Southeastern Conference or SEC for short, Alabama the football powerhouse plays in that conference.
You can absolutely drive a boat drunk. The TWRA don’t mess w you unless you’re making a scene. I know this bc I live on the Tennessee River and I’m a proud member of the Vol Navy. We were out on the water yesterday and there was alcohol involved.
Gotta think about it like this: The United States isn't a lot smaller than Europe, and fans will definitely travel cross country in large volumes to see their favorite teams! The passion of College Football is beautiful, you don't get that so much with the NFL.
Nice shot of the 'MICHIGAN STADIUM'....called the Big House. Largest Stadium in the U.S.....over 111,000 capacity. Also the winningest college program. Great tradition.
They didn't mention it but they take each others cadets as "prisoners" at the opposing branches campus... Before the game they do a prisoner swap and return those students. GO NAVY, beat Army.
The North Carolina State Wolfpack used to have real wolves as their mascots. One of them reacted badly to the loud band and took a nibble on a tender cheerleader's leg. He was banished. Now they use Malamute wolf hybrids which look the part but are as a tame as a family pet.
That old coach for Nebraska had been coaching there for a long time. That’s why the color commentator wanted to cry because of how for his final game he went vintage
so just to let you know about the fsu thing the first clip, fsu and the seminole tribe in the area respect each other alot. fsu has gotten full permission from the leaders of the seminole tribe to do that pre game so regardless of what people say in terms of them doing it they have permission and support from the people whos opinion on the act matter
Actually the pre-game antics always have something to do with the school itself and it's heritage. The white covered wagon being pulled around the field where you stopped to discuss this topic is for the Oklahoma "Sooners". The Sooners were the name given to the people who land rushed into the state of Oklahoma to claim land for farming. Many of them "rushed" into soon, or before it was legal to do so, hence the name "Sooner". That covered wagon depicts those people rushing in to grab land.
That first video is of the Florida State Seminoles and it’s called the tomahawk chop you have to see the video of chief Osceola riding in renegade implanting the flaming spear
Please react to best trucks and stiff arms for some real physical football dominance! Also love any "biggest tackles ever" type vids for the NFL, there's a few out there!
The Nebraska one was significant because Tom Osborne is a legendary football coach who coached Nebraska for 25 years and he led the Huskers on the field one last time along side Bo Pelini who was the coach at Nebraska at the time. Every husker fan had tears in their eyes and goosebumps during that moment.
Bill Burr occasionally rants on his podcast about the absurdity of Florida State's tomahawk chop and how some white guy probably came up with it. Pretty funny stuff. 9:15 The man on the right is a great man with a calm demeanor, even during his coaching days while winning 83.6% of his games, including 13 conference championships and 3 national championships over 25 seasons as head coach. The man on the left won 71.3% of his games in charge over 7 seasons (still a solid record) yet got fired for being insufferable a-hole on and off the field.
Just a note: If you are caught drinking and boating in the U.S, your boat may be confiscated, as well as the trailer you pull it on , and the vehicle you use to take it to a lake. They may also all be sold at auction to support local police forces.
Like 10-15 percent of the stadium is reserved for away seating in games and away fans can get tickets on resale and sit in the home fan sections so u very much could be sitting right next to a fan of ur biggest rival in the stadium
Most fans in the stands are mixed. There are a few groups who will travel together to away games. I am a Mets fan (MLB) and our die hard fan group is the 7 Line Army. They travel to several away games throughout the year and all sit in a section together. Most fans are just mixed though. In my state of Kentucky, the University of Kentucky (UK) and the University of Louisville (U of L) are huge rivals in every sport, mostly because of basketball, but in ice hockey they have their fans separated because of fights. There is a story that even though they have like a barrier to separate fans there have still been fights through the barrier. Fights mostly only happen amongst big rival teams. There might be other instances of separating fans here in the U.S. that is just the only one I know of.
Well the Sooner Schooner "tradition" makes sense since their mascot is based on the people in the Oklahoma Land Run that started early called "Sooners". Weird, yes, but it's a weird thing to have a mascot based on in the first place to be honest. Go Sooners!
Watch LSU which has one of the best atmospheres anywhere. The best tailgating, over 100,000 people in the stadium and about that many still partying outside. It’s not a pitch, it’s a field.
Michigan Stadium aka "The Big House" is the biggest stadium in the western hemisphere and 2nd biggest in the world. Official capacity of over 106 thousand, but on a big game, say vs Ohio State, they can pack 111-112k in there. They are still the winningest program in college football despite sucking for the past 15 years. They were the first non Ivy league school to take up the sport.
Nebraska Tunnel Walk is epic to us Huskers. This was Tom Osborne day the man is a god here in Husker Nation. Go Big Red. College football is bigger then the NFL.
I went to University of North Carolina and they have a Mountain Ram with his rams painted light blue because that's the school colors....he stays under guard 24 hours a day!
Florida State football team is named for the Florida Seminoles native American tribe in Florida. The tribe and university work in partnership. The tribe authorizes the use of their name. The clothes worn by the horse rider are authentic Seminole garb and were designed by the tribe. The rider is called Osceola (named for the great Seminole Chief Osceola) and the horse is called Renegade. The rider is never called Chief Osceola as there can only ever be the one Chief Osceola. As a side note, the Seminole tribe was never defeated by or signed a treaty with the U.S. government. They remain a sovereign nation. The Osceola and Renegade symbol (never called mascot) began over 40 years ago.
If you're in the Carolina's, you could go to Knoxville to watch the University of Tennessee and the Vol Navy. It will be a little bit out of your way, but if you can manage to go there during a conference game you will likely not be disappointed. UT has been on hard times, but should still be a better game than University of West Virginia. You could also try to make it to a Clemson game in Clemson, SC.
Michigan stadium has the highest attendance of any stadium in the world. technically North Korea reports to have a larger one but i dont believe its ever been confirmed. the big House, University of Michigan football stadium, regularly have over 114,000 people in it
Florida State University has a lucrative financial arrangement with the Seminole Tribe, so it's not racist. See how that works? That said, the "Indian" planting a flaming spear from a reared-up horse at mid-field is quality. It's really top-tier. Yes, Osceola was his real name; one of Florida's counties is named after him.
For the most part we can coexist even being drunk...places like Philadelphia and LA it's probably best not to advertise you're an away fan...fights happen but as long as you're not being an asshole no one will physically assault you as an away fan...usually. but we have no stadiums that have a separate section for away fans like they do in europe. Some college teams might but that's only bc they have a limited amount of traveling fans who booked tickets through the university
That's their mascot!! Sooners have a long history - look up the areas to see why each team uses specific mascots or traditions....very interesting! OSU won that game against Penn State!!
The person who dresses as Chief Osceola is usually a white guy majoring in somethign like accounting. A lot of the Native American mascots are going away. The Seminoles were one of the last and fiercest Indian tribes to hold out against the white man's expansion into their territory. They were warriors.
Im not a Nebraska Husker fan, but I can't believe whoever made this video cut off the rest of that scene where Nebraska Husker's run the tunnel into their majestic stadium. Who did this video?? I wanted to see that stadium and hear that crowd! Nebraska's Memorial stadium has been called by the NCAa "The Cathedral of all Stadiums" and Popular Mechanics rated it #1 in the nation. Rankings were based on the stadiums alone not how large or team ranking. Nebraska fans are so dedicated to their team it has also had the nation's #1 longest consecutive sell out, and EPSN calls them "The Sea of Red." Every game has sold out since 1962!!! Not one empty seat in any game for over 60 years!! They're also the loudest according to ESPN says they shake the windows of nearby buildings! They were also ranked #1 for being the highest tech stadium. So they have the #1 most dedicated fans, and the #1 most impressively built stadium with the #1 technology and this video showed a couple touches on a horseshoe? Wow. I was wanting to see the rest of that shot where they run into the stadium with their iconic theme song and the overhead of that crowd and that immense and gorgeous stadium.
5:42 The Alabama version of this song is called "Rammer Jammer" by the fans. However, the band's name for the cadence is "Ole Miss" as it was directly copied from their rivals at Ole Miss and made their own in 1971 when they hired the Ole Miss band director. Here is their version: ua-cam.com/video/0Ih9FjoxlgY/v-deo.html
I was at a large mall this past weekend for the first time in nearly a year. It was insanely packed and people were so excited to be out. Smiles everywhere. People are down with lockdowns. If they imposed a new wine, I think there would be a revolution here.
American football games have local police, state police and private security, thats why separating fans isn't needed but oddly enough they separate high school football games fans on opposite sides in my area.
Regarding the Teepee of the Auburn tree....that tree is very special to them....to deface it like that is a slap in the face to them!!! And it's usually done by the arch rival, Alabama!!
It’s not so much that anything goes as it is about special school traditions or the history of the area. From the east coast USA, there will be schools with older traditions because the states and schools are older. As you go farther West, there are more references to animal mascots or those pertaining to exploring or settling the rest of the US. A good example is Oklahoma’s covered wagon....a symbol of the pioneers who “moved the line” as the west was won. It’s a good sports reference...especially football. Another example is the flying eagle or “War damn eagle” for a school who has a tiger as a mascot but flies the eagle as a team who will conquer your territory. And so forth.
The best tradition is *WINNING* and Alabama is 163-17 in the last 13 years. That will never be matched again in history, hats off to the Tide and Coach Saban. That's just astounding to me.

Thank you for this comment! I was curious if this was the case.
In addition to that, I'm pretty darn sure that the each student that fills the role is a member of the Seminole Tribe of Florida
@@RyanTL15 naw this kid from my high school is chief Osceola right now he’s white as can be they usually have a background in horse back riding
respect to the noles from a blue fan!
That is awsome.
Does anyone remember when Texas was playing Georgia and the Longhorn attacked the Bulldog before the game? If you haven't seen it that video is crazy
I think it was the SEC Championship a couple years ago, wasn’t it?
@@jaynahoffacker2557 Well, the longhorns aren't in the SEC, so that would be a "no".
Wait, couldn’t have been SEC. Must have been a bowl game.
@@independenceltd. Yes, I realized that as soon as I said it. No need to be snarky. I was mistaking Texas for A&M.
@@jaynahoffacker2557 That guy likes to point out mistakes. It is the only time he gets to feel smart. He needed that moment! Try to understand.
The Florida State Seminoles have the blessing of the Seminole Tribe. Chief Osceola was a real leader of the Seminole Indians in the 1800's. I don't think the guy dressed up as Chief Osceola has to be a Seminole Indian.
I was going to say the same thing. They have permission from the Semiole Nation to use their name and the like. That is something I learned years ago.
From the FSU website it also says they offer scholarships to kids from the reservations to attend FSU.
Yes he is a Seminole, his outfit is also made by the Seminole tribe.
I'm an actual Seminole lol grew up on a few different rezs.
Diehard Bama fan, but the Seminoles have the best opening in CF. Nothing beats it.

Make sure you attend the tailgate parties before the game!
The question at the 11:10 mark ,"do the opposing fans travel" can be answered. In the SEC the teams are required by the league to offer at least 10,000 seats to visiting teams. They do not have to take them all but most do. About the Vol Navy. Technically the coast guard can give a DWI in Tn but very rare occurrence (esp at a home Vol game.)

Georgia vs Notre Dame proves that fans travel
11:55 in college football, drinking in the stands is rare. There are a few schools that sell beer, but the vast majority don't. However, a whole bunch of fans get pissed ass drunk prior to entering the stadium.
not at central michigan!
At Georgia at least, sneaking bourbon (or your choice of liquor) into the game is very common. Just don’t let the ushers see
and/or smuggle in their own supply
Except for neutral site games the vast majority of a crowd will be home team fans. Where the visiting fans sit varies depending on how they came about their ticket. Most colleges will have a section dedicated to the visiting teams’ season ticket holders but if a visiting fan just buys their ticket individually like anyone else they’ll just be blended into the rest of the crowd.
The student sections are separate. And there are separate fan sections. But you are right, depends on how you got your tickets.
Chief Osceola is a student yeah but they have the full support of the Seminole tribe
Bill Burr has a hilarious bit about the first tradition.
Best tradition in college football hands down.
The only game I can think of that we (University of Oklahoma) go to, aside from when we play Oklahoma State... is Texas. It's the Red River Rivalry and it doesn't happen at either school. It's at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas and it's during the Texas State Fair.
Texas Ex here and I was surprised that they didn’t show a TX-OU game clip, especially one showing our longhorn steer Bevo.
@@melindacastaneda Yeah. They showed a tiny clip of the OU Schooner with the Rough Necks running behind it onto the field. But it was short, and I wish the video that they watched explained some of the traditions.

You guys didn't do my School's tradition. It would always happen at the end of games. We used to call it...Losing.
Win or lose, we still booze.
😂😂😂
It’s more than sport. College football is an absolute spectacle
Texas vs OKlahoma in October gets interesting they meet every year halfway from from their campuses in Dallas, Tx and also the Texas state fair will be open
I'm alittle bias to rammer jammer and Dixieland delight at Bryant Denny stadium but the Iowa Hawkeyes wave to the children's hospital is by far my favorite and it's one of the newest. The white out in happy valley is also absolutely insane
Love this channel. Great job on this video guys
Love College football reactions from y’all!!
These traditions would make more sense to you if you know the name of the schools they're showing and what their mascots are.
And the stories behind how the traditions came to be
The part where a guy is spinning a silver sword.... that is the Univ. So.Cal. Trojans (USC) at the Los Angeles Coliseum. For many years their crosstown rivals, Univ of Cal at Los Angeles (UCLA) played at the same stadium (100,000+). And every year they play against eachother...red on one side, blue on the other.
(PS: the buffalo is the mascot of the Colorado University Buffaloes..... the Univ of Washington is near Seattle and they too have docks for boats)
when was the last time a game featuring socal or ucla, not named the rose bowl, sold out the coliseum?
There generally is a visitors section where those tickets were provided to the visiting school to sell. The large sections of color are, almost without fail, the student section. The students get a good deal on season tickets and they're all put together to make an enormously rowdy section of the stadium.
There are many native Americans living in the areas where Florida and Florida Stare play.

The Seminoles send the Chief Oseola an outfit each year. It’s a very respectful and loving relationship.
The college stadium with by far the best water access is Husky Stadium at the University of Washington. The stadium sits right on lake Washington, you can park your boat and walk directly into the stadium. Not like the craptastic garbage at Tennessee where you have to park your boat in the river next to an industrial plant, get off, walk down and across the street and then use the standard stadium entrance. Husky Stadium created sailgating, and nobody does it better. And when you combine the sailgating with the impressive views of Lake Washington and both the Cascades and Olympic Mountains from inside, you understand why Husky Stadium is referd to as "The Greatest Setting in College Sports".

At 6:30, another tradition, rolling the Toomer's Corner trees located downtown Auburn with toilet paper after a winning football game. WAR EAGLE!
Another thing about Florida State, they were taken to court about our name because other teams or 1 team or just people in general thought we were ruining the Native American name and culture. We went to court and FOUGHT for our name and PROVED that we had the permission of the Seminole tribe and actually a portion of the money the school makes is given to the tribe. We showed that we had the utmost respect for the Seminole tribe and that’s why we take honor in our name and our traditions at Florida State. Needless to say we won and got to keep our name and mascot.
at all the tennessee volunteers games we always sing rocky top
at most collage sports events in the states, the only separation of fans is the student section. You can very easily tell were this is because it has the most of the home color with little to none of the away team. This is because 1) students get cheaper tickets at home stadiums and 2) they are the most dedicated fans and look way better when all together rather than spread out
I played football at Abilene Christian University in the 90's. The freshmen have to ring a huge bell for 24 hours straight before homecoming kickoff. Its up to the upper classmen and professors to stop the ringing... Got pretty rough at times
Lol this is cool cause I had jus about the same reactions when I first started seeing soccer traditions
This video had some of the things missing in the previous College Football Traditions. However, the clips were too short and it was unclear what they were focusing on. A better edited video (with some better camera angles as well) would have been nice to see.
Thanks Office Blokes for at least trying to satisfy viewers by finding the video. It is nice to know you guys definitely read the comments. Keep up the good work. Cheers -
So all of the mascots are based on their teams nickname. The Buffalo taking the field was for the Colorado Buffalo's for example so they, like many other schools, have a live mascot. The LSU Tigers have a real live tiger, the Georgia Bulldogs have a bulldog on the sideline, and so on.
Also as far as traveling fans, yes each college team tends to have a pretty decent chunk that travels. Typically maybe 10K and they put a large chunk of them in one section usually the upper deck corners. Other scattered fans typically buy through resell like stubhub. College's are different in that they play in individual geographical conferences so travel is much easier. The biggest conference in college is the Southeastern Conference or SEC for short, Alabama the football powerhouse plays in that conference.
You need to watch ‘Greatest American Sports Fans’
Very Patriotic!
I requested that on Patreon but office bloke Mike said it was too long :(
You saved the best for last. The Penn State "Whiteout". One of the best atmospheres in all of CFB! 107,000, strong.
Excellent reaction Gents. Go Tigers!
You can absolutely drive a boat drunk. The TWRA don’t mess w you unless you’re making a scene. I know this bc I live on the Tennessee River and I’m a proud member of the Vol Navy. We were out on the water yesterday and there was alcohol involved.
Gotta think about it like this: The United States isn't a lot smaller than Europe, and fans will definitely travel cross country in large volumes to see their favorite teams! The passion of College Football is beautiful, you don't get that so much with the NFL.
Nice shot of the 'MICHIGAN STADIUM'....called the Big House. Largest Stadium in the U.S.....over 111,000 capacity. Also the winningest college program. Great tradition.
I'm a big fan of the Army Vs. Navy games! 💕
They didn't mention it but they take each others cadets as "prisoners" at the opposing branches campus... Before the game they do a prisoner swap and return those students. GO NAVY, beat Army.
The North Carolina State Wolfpack used to have real wolves as their mascots. One of them reacted badly to the loud band and took a nibble on a tender cheerleader's leg. He was banished. Now they use Malamute wolf hybrids which look the part but are as a tame as a family pet.
Florida State is still the Seminoles. It's unlikely that will change at any point in the foreseeable future.
That old coach for Nebraska had been coaching there for a long time. That’s why the color commentator wanted to cry because of how for his final game he went vintage
so just to let you know about the fsu thing the first clip, fsu and the seminole tribe in the area respect each other alot. fsu has gotten full permission from the leaders of the seminole tribe to do that pre game so regardless of what people say in terms of them doing it they have permission and support from the people whos opinion on the act matter
Actually the pre-game antics always have something to do with the school itself and it's heritage. The white covered wagon being pulled around the field where you stopped to discuss this topic is for the Oklahoma "Sooners". The Sooners were the name given to the people who land rushed into the state of Oklahoma to claim land for farming. Many of them "rushed" into soon, or before it was legal to do so, hence the name "Sooner". That covered wagon depicts those people rushing in to grab land.
The 3rd traditions video will just be every college doing Seven Nation Army every 10 seconds and claiming they came up with it.
Tennessee is full of traditions. You experienced two in this video. The Vol Walk and Vol Navy.
That first video is of the Florida State Seminoles and it’s called the tomahawk chop you have to see the video of chief Osceola riding in renegade implanting the flaming spear
Please react to best trucks and stiff arms for some real physical football dominance!
Also love any "biggest tackles ever" type vids for the NFL, there's a few out there!
The Nebraska one was significant because Tom Osborne is a legendary football coach who coached Nebraska for 25 years and he led the Huskers on the field one last time along side Bo Pelini who was the coach at Nebraska at the time. Every husker fan had tears in their eyes and goosebumps during that moment.
Bill Burr occasionally rants on his podcast about the absurdity of Florida State's tomahawk chop and how some white guy probably came up with it. Pretty funny stuff.
9:15 The man on the right is a great man with a calm demeanor, even during his coaching days while winning 83.6% of his games, including 13 conference championships and 3 national championships over 25 seasons as head coach. The man on the left won 71.3% of his games in charge over 7 seasons (still a solid record) yet got fired for being insufferable a-hole on and off the field.
Check out the Baylor Line. It’s a great tradition that Baylor University does. Great halftime shows too.
Just a note: If you are caught drinking and boating in the U.S, your boat may be confiscated, as well as the trailer you pull it on , and the vehicle you use to take it to a lake. They may also all be sold at auction to support local police forces.
Do y’all sell extended warranties too?
Like 10-15 percent of the stadium is reserved for away seating in games and away fans can get tickets on resale and sit in the home fan sections so u very much could be sitting right next to a fan of ur biggest rival in the stadium
Glad ralphie and the Colorado buffs got some love
Most fans in the stands are mixed. There are a few groups who will travel together to away games. I am a Mets fan (MLB) and our die hard fan group is the 7 Line Army. They travel to several away games throughout the year and all sit in a section together. Most fans are just mixed though. In my state of Kentucky, the University of Kentucky (UK) and the University of Louisville (U of L) are huge rivals in every sport, mostly because of basketball, but in ice hockey they have their fans separated because of fights. There is a story that even though they have like a barrier to separate fans there have still been fights through the barrier. Fights mostly only happen amongst big rival teams. There might be other instances of separating fans here in the U.S. that is just the only one I know of.
Well the Sooner Schooner "tradition" makes sense since their mascot is based on the people in the Oklahoma Land Run that started early called "Sooners". Weird, yes, but it's a weird thing to have a mascot based on in the first place to be honest. Go Sooners!
There are for sure sections for away fans at all college football games
College football tailgates 👌🏻
Watch LSU which has one of the best atmospheres anywhere. The best tailgating, over 100,000 people in the stadium and about that many still partying outside. It’s not a pitch, it’s a field.
You need to react to a full army navy pregame and the singing of the alma mater post game
Michigan Stadium aka "The Big House" is the biggest stadium in the western hemisphere and 2nd biggest in the world. Official capacity of over 106 thousand, but on a big game, say vs Ohio State, they can pack 111-112k in there. They are still the winningest program in college football despite sucking for the past 15 years. They were the first non Ivy league school to take up the sport.
Nebraska Tunnel Walk is epic to us Huskers. This was Tom Osborne day the man is a god here in Husker Nation. Go Big Red. College football is bigger then the NFL.
I went to University of North Carolina and they have a Mountain Ram with his rams painted light blue because that's the school colors....he stays under guard 24 hours a day!
5:21 University of Tennessee Vol Walk
8:10 Vol Navy
Yes im from Knoxville, Tennessee and norn and raised Vol fan
Many college stadiums do not sell alcohol (although more and more are starting to do so).
Florida State football team is named for the Florida Seminoles native American tribe in Florida. The tribe and university work in partnership. The tribe authorizes the use of their name. The clothes worn by the horse rider are authentic Seminole garb and were designed by the tribe. The rider is called Osceola (named for the great Seminole Chief Osceola) and the horse is called Renegade. The rider is never called Chief Osceola as there can only ever be the one Chief Osceola. As a side note, the Seminole tribe was never defeated by or signed a treaty with the U.S. government. They remain a sovereign nation. The Osceola and Renegade symbol (never called mascot) began over 40 years ago.
Alright, mates. I like the structure angle
LSU (my school) has one of the biggest reputations for being rowdy
If you're in the Carolina's, you could go to Knoxville to watch the University of Tennessee and the Vol Navy. It will be a little bit out of your way, but if you can manage to go there during a conference game you will likely not be disappointed. UT has been on hard times, but should still be a better game than University of West Virginia. You could also try to make it to a Clemson game in Clemson, SC.
Michigan stadium has the highest attendance of any stadium in the world. technically North Korea reports to have a larger one but i dont believe its ever been confirmed. the big House, University of Michigan football stadium, regularly have over 114,000 people in it
Florida State University has a lucrative financial arrangement with the Seminole Tribe, so it's not racist. See how that works? That said, the "Indian" planting a flaming spear from a reared-up horse at mid-field is quality. It's really top-tier. Yes, Osceola was his real name; one of Florida's counties is named after him.
5.39 is “Rammer Jammer” which I feel you guys would appreciate.
For the most part we can coexist even being drunk...places like Philadelphia and LA it's probably best not to advertise you're an away fan...fights happen but as long as you're not being an asshole no one will physically assault you as an away fan...usually. but we have no stadiums that have a separate section for away fans like they do in europe. Some college teams might but that's only bc they have a limited amount of traveling fans who booked tickets through the university
This was a great video.. Tennessee got 3 in this video
That's their mascot!! Sooners have a long history - look up the areas to see why each team uses specific mascots or traditions....very interesting! OSU won that game against Penn State!!
The person who dresses as Chief Osceola is usually a white guy majoring in somethign like accounting. A lot of the Native American mascots are going away. The Seminoles were one of the last and fiercest Indian tribes to hold out against the white man's expansion into their territory. They were warriors.
Im not a Nebraska Husker fan, but I can't believe whoever made this video cut off the rest of that scene where Nebraska Husker's run the tunnel into their majestic stadium. Who did this video?? I wanted to see that stadium and hear that crowd! Nebraska's Memorial stadium has been called by the NCAa "The Cathedral of all Stadiums" and Popular Mechanics rated it #1 in the nation. Rankings were based on the stadiums alone not how large or team ranking. Nebraska fans are so dedicated to their team it has also had the nation's #1 longest consecutive sell out, and EPSN calls them "The Sea of Red." Every game has sold out since 1962!!! Not one empty seat in any game for over 60 years!! They're also the loudest according to ESPN says they shake the windows of nearby buildings! They were also ranked #1 for being the highest tech stadium. So they have the #1 most dedicated fans, and the #1 most impressively built stadium with the #1 technology and this video showed a couple touches on a horseshoe? Wow. I was wanting to see the rest of that shot where they run into the stadium with their iconic theme song and the overhead of that crowd and that immense and gorgeous stadium.
We need more NFL reactions.
We need more NBA reactions. They have a lot more NFL than NBA.

The Alabama version of this song is called "Rammer Jammer" by the fans. However, the band's name for the cadence is "Ole Miss" as it was directly copied from their rivals at Ole Miss and made their own in 1971 when they hired the Ole Miss band director.
Here is their version: ua-cam.com/video/0Ih9FjoxlgY/v-deo.html
I was at a large mall this past weekend for the first time in nearly a year. It was insanely packed and people were so excited to be out. Smiles everywhere. People are down with lockdowns. If they imposed a new wine, I think there would be a revolution here.
If you go to West Virginia you will be singing Country Roads at least a few times.
The Seminole tribe the Florida State gets their name from, supports the school and the name
The leagues require a certain number of tickets to the visiting teams and most of them will be in the same area.
Those traditions are way cooler in person and there are much better videos of each tradition too.
Never understood why the channel doesn't put a description for context on each highlight.
American football games have local police, state police and private security, thats why separating fans isn't needed but oddly enough they separate high school football games fans on opposite sides in my area.
Yeah cuz the parents fight.
Regarding the Teepee of the Auburn tree....that tree is very special to them....to deface it like that is a slap in the face to them!!! And it's usually done by the arch rival, Alabama!!
No, It's done by Auburn fans and students
The Florida Seminols wiped out the US standing army in 18**. (About 2500 men). So Florida State University named their football team after them.
It’s not so much that anything goes as it is about special school traditions or the history of the area. From the east coast USA, there will be schools with older traditions because the states and schools are older. As you go farther West, there are more references to animal mascots or those pertaining to exploring or settling the rest of the US. A good example is Oklahoma’s covered wagon....a symbol of the pioneers who “moved the line” as the west was won. It’s a good sports reference...especially football. Another example is the flying eagle or “War damn eagle” for a school who has a tiger as a mascot but flies the eagle as a team who will conquer your territory. And so forth.
The best tradition is *WINNING* and Alabama is 163-17 in the last 13 years. That will never be matched again in history, hats off to the Tide and Coach Saban. That's just astounding to me.
WarrrrrrrEagle Hey!!!
You should watch Russell Wilson highlights!
THERE ISNT ANYTHING LIKE SATURDAY NIGHT IN DEATH VALLEY LSU
If you ever make it to Texas, hit me up for an ATT&T Stadium tour and a Cowboys game.
in most college football stadiums alcohol is not provided very few football stadiums sell it.
