The best tradition hands down was not in the video. It is called the Hawkeye wave. At the University of Iowa the football stadium sit right across the street from the hospital. On the 13th floor of the Stead Children’s Hospital, pediatric patients are given the opportunity to watch the game as the hospital is tall enough to look into the stadium. At the end of the first quarter all players,staff, fans, announcers and so many more turn around and wave to the children that are hospitalized watching the game from the 13th floor. It is a tradition that brings people to tears to see the children get the encouragement and support from everyone.

The thing to undestand about college football is thtat it PRE DATES the NFL. And these teams are all over the country (often in rather small towns) rather than in the largest cities. PLus tickets are cheaper and students usually get in free. People with no pro team close by follow their local college team and the athletes are at a pro level. They just don't get paid a salary. College football is like the minor leagues of American Football. But some programs have such storied histories that people genuinely prefer following their college teams to pro teams. I grew up in Tennessee and before the Tennessee Titans NFL team moved there from Houston, we had no professional team in Tennessee so I followed the University of Tennessee. The nearset pro teams were in Atlanta, Cincinnati, St. Louis, and New Orleans. Today there are closer teams like the Titans and the Carolina Panthers in the NFL. But all around the country in small college towns in the autumn on Saturday afternoons the towns swell to two or three times their size and the people flood in to tailgate and then attend the games. Restaurants and hotels make a lot of money. You should check out college football tailgate parties.

What planet are YOU on, that you think students get free tickets? What are you on about? No, not at all. Student tickets are often an option tossed in with tuition payment, but they are most certainly not free, to any school with a real fanbase. Maybe that is true at Tulane or something, but not P4 universities.

The "Native American" video is Florida State University. The team is named "Seminoles" which is a Native American tribe in Florida. The University partners with the tribe to provide social, education and medical services to the tribe and the tribe allows the University to use the image and name. The tribe approves the mascot costumes and the tribe Chief and Princess come to the University to crown the Homecoming Queen and King every year. I was lucky to go to Florida State University and it was a great experience.

The biggest College Football stadiums are also bigger than the biggest NFL stadiums. The first one you see, Michigan, is the largest football stadium in the USA. That goal post weighs around 500 pounds. College Football is much older than the NFL, so it has rivalries and traditions that are older than the NFL. Our military academies also have College Football teams. Army, Navy, and Air Force. The Army Navy game is a very big deal. Air Force vs Army, or Air Force vs Navy, don't get as much hype, but are still important. College Football season starts in September, and runs though the end of November. December and January have bowl games. During football season, you have high school games on Friday night, College games mostly on Saturday, and NFL on Sunday, Monday Night, and Thursday Night.

Many of these are also the 'big game' where teams have long standing rivalries with specific other schools/teams. So while if you go to any game it will very much be like this the biggest of the year is the rivalry game. Its often the 'homecoming' game where alumni are especially welcome back and they put on the biggest show possible. Most divisions have about 10 teams but there is one that is always seen as the long standing riverlie. Another thing to consider is that professional teams can move around and are only in a few big cities really. So college teams early on filled that gap of providing a local team to follow. Even if people didn't go to the local school they might follow the team. Now they have moved into essentially the development teams for the professional leagues, the only sport that still has a rich development system out of college is baseball, again for historic reasons.

It’s always half the stadium is chomping and the other half is chopping. It’s all in fun. The two schools were established very closely together on the calendar year. We’ve always been rivals. Florida state is more the type of school for engineering or business but not great for much else. The university of Florida has graduated more medical doctors, practical engineering, and every science related field is full of former students. The medical students with the engineering students actually together came up with a ventilator alternative that saved lives during the pandemic. It was never patented as they believed it should be for the public to use. Now every hospital in the country uses it as a step before a real ventilator meaning less people have to use one and it saves lives.

Regarding the goal posts being taken down. The footage you saw was from the Unviersity of Alabama versus the University of Tennessee game. Both have long traditions of winning in the South Eastern Conference (SEC) which is considered by many to the THE elite conference in College football. The win that took place in Knoxville Tennessee and was the first time Tennessee had won against Alabama in several years and the fans wanted to celebrate so they tore down the goal posts and threw them in the Tennessee River which runs right beside the stadium. It doesn't happen every game certainly but it does happen and when it does it's a thing of beauty. Not only are they in the same conference but Tennessee and Alabama share a 255 mile border. Many citizens of each state support or went to the other state's school. And both have won national championships. So the rivalry is a fever pitch. They hate one another but respect one another at the same time. And Tennessee's stadium (Neyland Stadium in Knoxville Tennessee) holds over 106,000 fans. Some Tennessee fans form a convoy of boats on the Tennssee River and ride to the game in their boats. They're affectionately known as the Tennessee Navy.

In the South the SEC conference is football crazed too. The best games and fandom are in those two conferences, with a few others like Notre Dame. It’s important to remember many if these schools have 30 to 65K 18 to 22 year old students living in walking distance to the games, a huge party beyond game itself
