Ohio State vs Xichigan is the biggest rivalry in all of college sports. OSU students won’t even mention the name of “that team up north” and spend the entire week prior to the game crossing out every letter M on campus. The OSU band does Script OHIO, and the fans sing Hang On Sloopy every game.

On the Tennessee clip, it's important to note not only the fight song being sung by over 100k fans, but the checkerboard pattern of the fans in the stands. It was one of the first times it was attempted, where the fans looked up where their seats were to see whether to wear orange or white. This was an homage to the checkboard pattern in the end zones, an iconic look for their field for decades.

Just for a bit of context into why college football is so important to American culture. The battle of bull run was the first big land battle in the Civil War, and people came on carriages to watch the battle which started the "tailgate", then most of the men fighting were of the age of a college student, so generally they would leave their schools and go to fight for their respective states (hence why the band resembles a war uniform of the time). There were entire college classes that were wiped out as a result (Texas A&M). Another minute detail was in the south, the girls their age would walk the men out as they marched, so generally the cheerleaders run out before the football team (generally). So really these games are almost a representation of who's state is the best for war... and football and its tactical side are a decent representation for war. That is why every game has the magnitude of a World Cup Finals match.

[@Okhissa]

The Mississippi State University tradition of the cowbells started a long time ago when a stray cow wandered onto the football field during a game. State went on to win that game and the fans adopted the Cowbell as a good luck charm. The tradition has become deeply rooted. Now, fans have attached handles to their bells and have customized them, painting them and decorating them. I saw a Dallas Cowboys #4, Mississippi State #15 mash up paint job on a cow bell once in honor of our beloved Dak Prescott. It was one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen. Now, cowbells are traditionally gifted to you or passed down among family members. They have grown in numbers and have gotten so incredibly loud, that the SEC has banned them from MSU's Away games. So... Hail State! "We Ring True"!!

The video skipped the best part of the Clemson tradition which is when all the players run down the hill, after touching the rock, and onto the field. The Clemson stadium is nicknamed, and more commonly referred to as, Death Valley. That's why the rock being from Death Valley in California is meaningful. They also didn't show FSU's tradition which is super cool and has ties to the local Native American tribe. FSU, Florida State Univeristy, has a deal with the local Native American tribe, The Seminoles, and it's actually members of the tribe who take part in it.

Just stumbled onto this channel a few days ago and have been enjoying your reactions quite a bit! Thanks for doing these. College football is steeped in history and context so sometimes it's difficult to appreciate some of it unless you're familiar with the geography and culture. That being said, game days are an incredible experience - from the pep rallies, tailgating, and the marching bands to the game itself, it's a 24+ hour celebration of sport and community that happens for a few short months every fall Saturday.

[@Nelekets]

I can explain a bit of 11:24 and onward part. My best friend went to that university, "Texas A&M", so I was able to go to a number of home games. They are doing something called "Midnight Yell", which is the night before the game. Most of the student body shows up, and they practice the "yells" they are going to do the next day at the game. At Texas A&M, they don't have cheerleaders, instead they have "yell leaders", who are high ranking members of the Corps of Cadets. Also, all of the marching band members are required to also enroll in the Corps of Cadets, so they have a rather military and country like atmosphere to them, as you could tell by the "farmer's fight" yell lol. Also, I hate this video, because it literally explains nothing about what you are watching and just leaves you clueless. I've seen a number of people react to this video, and it happens every time. Great reaction on your part though, I found y'alls channel about a week ago, and been binge watching all your videos. Keep it up! EDIT: I forgot to say, but before they do a yell, the yell leader will do a hand signal to indicate which yell they are going to do, then the students in the front, who can see the yell leaders, do the same signal, and the signal keeps getting sent back until it gets to the top. Then when the yell leader sees that it's reached the top, they start the yell. It's a really unique school!

The largest stadium in the world is 1st of May Stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea. The next eight largest stadiums in the world are American college football stadiums. Number ten is the Melbourne Cricket grounds in Australia. The singing of 'Sweet Caroline' at sporting events is generally credited with either the Boston Red Sox baseball team, or the Carolina Panthers NFL team. Both began using it regularly in the late 1990s, but seems to be generally more associated with the Red Sox.

I'm from Iowa and I have been at the Children's Hospital a couple times for my 2 sons since they were both born early and every time we have been there, we have had a room facing the stadium and being able to look down into the field was such an amazing view. Also side note, my dad was part of the crew that redid all the piping in the stadium back in the 90s early 2000s, he said being up in the booths was such a great experience. He use to tell me all kinds of stories about it and one that stuck with me is that the locker room for the away team is pink, I wonder if they kept it pink or have they changed it since then.

[@mrschesneyforlife]

That started when Hayden Fry was the Coach & it's still pink today. I've heard stories about crazy things the visiting teams have done to cover the walls so they don't see it. lol

1. FSU Seminole Starts the football (American) game: [Horse and Flaming Spear!] kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXSkgZ2Xa815hsU kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4LGf3iGqtGJhZo Florida State University "Seminole" (native American) as their symbol (NOT "mascot", SYMBOL). At the start of each game, a Seminole rides a horse to the center of the football field and throws a burning spear into the ground to START the game. The rider of the horse must be a Seminole (FSU has a very good relationship with the Seminole community)(The Seminole Tribe of Florida must approve each "Chief Osceola." The horse and the rider each year are treated like royalty. "Chief Osceola must be an FSU student/high grade average/be Seminole/be able to ride bareback (no saddle). The horse is called "Renegade" FSU LOVES its football team, the stadium is huge, and it is a major part of college life. I would be VERY surprised if DAZ doesn't know FSU (he probably has been to a game, or at least knows them by reputation).

She had on her LSU shirt, and I had on my Bama shirt, when all of a sudden, we hear WAR EAGLE being yelled across the airport. The two of us jumped up, and I yell back Roll Tide, and she yells Geaux Tigers! Everyone in the airport is looking at us and around us like we are crazy! Out of the crowd comes this guy wearing an Auburn shirt. We spent a good hour at the airport talking. THAT is what SEC is all about! Three major football rivals 1000s of miles from home but connected by their love of the game.

The first clip is referred to as the “Iowave”. Iowa is known as the “Hawkeye State”, and the people from Iowa eat, sleep, and breathe Iowa Hawkeye football from the moment they can speak. To those kids, having the Iowa football team do this means more than you could ever know. While I can’t stand the football team (Go Canes 🙌🏼), just an incredibly heartwarming thing to see and be a part of.

The last one was midnight yell practice done the night before games at Texas A&M. They get about 25,000 to midnight yell and over 100,000 to the game.

Yeah midnight yell without context was kind of glossed over at the end. It is genuinely a sight to behold. Aggie football is filled with some of the best traditions in sports.

You should see the rivalry game that happened a couple of weeks ago between the OU Sooners and Texas Longhorns. It was a very close game. The rivalry is named the Red River Shootout, since the two states are separated by the Red River. One of the best rivalries in college.

At our highschool we would chant "What time is it?" and the others would respond "Cheesecake". Because a popular coach who led us to multiple a 5a championships was once asked what time it was during a rally. However, he was eating cheesecake and he though they asked "What kind is it?", so he yelled back Cheesecake!!!

[@sk33t_38]

I have a theory on why college football/basketball in the States is the closest thing we have to English football in terms of culture and atmosphere. Most if not all professional sports teams have stadiums that are in the middle of the richest part of our major cities and most fans dont usually live next or close to it, as for college stadiums, they are in campuses and communities which brings more passion from fans when they live right next to the stadium. Its like how in Europe, football fans are super passionate because a lot of the pitches are integrated in the community where as in the States they're usually placed in the middle of some gigantic parking lot amongst skyscraper offices or completely outside the city. I'm from Seattle and our university is University of Washington and we have one of the loudest stadiums in CFB. I recommend watching a video on our professional team (Seahawks) and how we have the loudest fans in the NFL. We once were so loud we triggered a minor earthquake.
