Agree with your statement about lack of respect of a visiting team. It all starts with the coaching or lack of.

Hi Mark. I enjoy your videos and podcasts and will continue to do so, even though I'm from "that state up North". I also totally agree that the flag planting should not have been attempted. That kind of emotional acting out is obviously disrespectful, as well as unnecessary and unhelpful. However, let's not pretend that such disrespect doesn't go both ways. To wit: "O, we don't give a d*** for the whole State of Michigan The whole State of Michigan The whole State of Michigan We don't give a d*** for the whole State of Michigan We're from O-HI-O." Regards, Dave

I agree about planting a team flag in the middle of the home team’s stadium. A very classless act. I played at Vanderbilt and even though we were often on the losing end of games, if our arch rivals tried to do something like that in our stadium, then I would bet every Vanderbilt player would have something to say about it. Sure, go ahead and cheer, jump up & down, sing your fight song, etc. if you win. However, planting a flag or something similar on the home team’s field is simply classless, IMO.

Yes, I agree with you. There are some great traditions in college football that help to carry forward the various rivalries in a positive way. As I mentioned. one such is the Penn State White Out. However, I came across this list of rivalries where the winner takes possession of a trophy or cup of some sort. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NCAA_college_football_rivalry_games Both teams work to gain possession of the prize. Like you said, "...cheer, jump up & down, sing your fight song, etc." Planting a flag on the home team's field is classless.
