COUPLE React to Best Traditions in College Football Part 1 | OB DAVE

[@1trumantucker1]

Born and raised in Iowa, and a lifelong Hawkeye fan. The Wave to the Children's Hospital each game is so emotional in person. You can see the brave kiddos in the windows of the hospital waving back....makes me proud to be from Iowa. 🖤💛

[@gregcable3250]

Penn State grad/fan here and Pittsburgh Steeler fanatic--your Wave to the Children's Hospital is THE BEST tradition I have ever seen in any sport--and I am like a thousand years old, so I have seen alot. I will look out for televised Iowa games just to make sure I see that. Also, I have an affinity for the Hawkeyes because they made the Steelers uniforms their own back in the late 70s (because we were so damned good--4 SBs in 6 years). So everytime they are on I do a double take because it looks like my team is playing. Cheers to you and your unparalleled tradition.

[@papajiggly]

I have nothing to do with Iowa, but the wave is why I always root for them.

[@michaelbradley6004]

Thats such a great pregame tradition! Just wow. Wonderful.

[@JonathanLawson]

My favorite thing about it is not the wave (although it rules), it's that whoever designed the children's hospital DEFINITELY knew they were designing it so you could see into the stadium. That's just fantastic.

[@williamhamilton6643]

Speaking as a Michigan fan, I think everyone in the Big Ten tears up when the fans turn and wave to the kids in the hospital. It's a great new tradition!

[@Tux.Penguin]

The most hilarious bit in this entire video is at 11:42 when Ash recognizes the song Country Roads and starts singing it to Dave with a big smile! That made me laugh out loud

[@firefighterchick]

Ash needs to see the Ohio State Marching Band! She'll love it! Yes, Dave that is Penn State's White Out game.

[@alhollywood6486]

I did the wave at Iowa last year as a Northwestern fan, highlight of the trip.

[@leodee3]

Feels like a lot of these clips are cut prematurely. Watching the team run onto the field to Enter Sandman, for example, is pretty awesome. A few of these videos cut before the best part.

[@brandonsimmons1695]

College football is the best. Every Saturday morning to midnight. Drinking and eating all day and trolling all my friends.

[@jeffdetmer4681]

Re the Iowa childrens hospital, They do that salute/wave every home football game at the end of the 1st quarter. Also many of the students visit the hospital and some also volunteer there. One of the biggest stars in college sports today is a member of the women's basketball team at Iowa, Caitlin Clark. She and her teammates often visit with the kids and don't announce it at all. Also, the "white out" game happens at Penn State University. The marching band you saw and spoke of was not Ohio Univ. but Ohio State Univ. Look for a video on Ohio State marching band salute to blockbuster movies. It is the halftime show of an OSU home game and is really fun. Another of theirs centers on a salute to Michael Jackson. Well worth a watch.

[@tylorstafford20]

Definitely HAVE to do part 2 now

[@davidrowell]

The last video is from Texas A&M's "Midnight Yell Practice" in College Station, TX the midnight before home games... Because A&M was started in the late 1800's as an all-male military prep school they had no female cheerleaders for their football team. Instead they had male "yell leaders". To this day the yell leaders use hand signals to tell the students what "yells" to do in unison throughout the stadium... The Aggies or Ags (as they're called) have now gone to a mixed male & female student body and military prep (the Corps Of Cadets) is optional. Although only about 2% of the students are in the Corps nowadays the entire university still keeps many of the old traditions like Midnight Yell Practice alive. Gig 'em!

[@d2ndborn]

As far as the Iowa hospital clip. There is a young man who as a child was in the hospital and is now today on the team. now that is a great story

[@japcar84]

The last college clip of the guy in overalls was from Texas A&M University. It is a huge agricultural school, hence the "Farmers Fight" chant.

[@SkewtLilbttm]

I recently watched a video about the traditional A&M bonfires that are held prior to their annual game against U of Texas, and more specifically, the bonfire collapse that occured in the 90s I believe it was? Regardless, a horrible event to say the least. I will say that the memorial built was truly unique and of a high quality, definitely well thought out.

[@ajinman3642]

The one where they are walking through the tailgate is at Ole Miss at the grove! People set up the other before the game and cool all night in a place called “The Grove” on campus and it’s amazing! Our motto is “we may lose the game but we never lose a party!” 😂😂😂

[@Cubs-Fan.10]

You'd love the College Game Day tribute video to the Hawkeye wave.

[@gregorygriffin498]

I agree that these traditions are better with context and explanations... for example Texas A&M, midnight prior to the game the students show up for cheer practice in the stadium also stand the entire game to symbolize readiness to go in and play if needed (based off of a former player that returned to school when he got out of the military during WW2, I believe, and the team had several injuries and the coach sent someone into the stands and had him come put on a uniform in case they had more players hurt and needed him to fill in)... and if you want to experience tailgating at it's best then I recommend the Georgia/florida game ( always played on a neutral field in Jacksonville FL)... it is nicknamed "The world's largest outdoor cocktail party" it's not just outside the stadium but stretches for blocks around the stadium... that's just a couple, almost every school has their traditions... good fun... and GO DAWGS....

[@RockyNikolashin]

Fighting does happen, but it's not as common and as much in the stadium as maybe outside the stadiums. Ppl can get legally charged, fined, and possibly banned for fighting in the stadiums. Many ppl go with their families, so it's not common for a fight to break out and have no bystanders step in to shut it down. It's usually more of a friendly rivalry than what seems to be in the Soccer leagues overseas.

[@davidortiz9577]

On my drive back to Texas, I just passed by Penn St and the beautiful Beaver Stadium where the white out takes place. I hope y’all have a chance to see Texas OU half burnt Orange, half crimson cream. The energy and atmosphere is amazing

I'm glad they included the Walk of Champions through the Grove at Ole Miss. I used to do a lot of work on campus, and it is a beautiful place, and the Grove is the top tailgating venue of any college in the U.S.

[@AngelA-qi1br]

Check out the Fighting Texas Aggie Marching Band (half time show from 2014) in addition to the Ohio State Marching Band. Two completely different, but excellent, college football bands. Both really impressive.

Tailgating at college football games are much better I've been to a few.

[@sallydavison5939]

College foorball has many great traditions and long-time rivalries between teams as well between conferences. I've had season tickets to thw Iowa Hawkeyes for 35+ years and have traveled to many away games for regular season and bowl games and my experiences have been almost always very rewarding - great meeting and tailgating (and partying) with fans from the other teams and enjoying the atmosphere of their stadiums. When not in a stadium friends have gameday get togethers either at homes or meet up at an establishment to watch the games. Its a great culture to be a part of and everyone has pride in their teams, win or lose... and glad to say other than some some very isolated cases (2) I've never seen a fight... some spirited shouting matches but not fights.. people want to see their teams win but are out to have good time as well,

[@billbrasky1288]

Nothing beats going to an LSU game and watching the band march down the hill outside the stadium followed by the team walking to the stadium. They play for the fans and then march all the way to their seats in the stadium, playing the whole way.

Some of the smaller colleges have just as interesting traditions but because they can’t fit 100,000+ into their stadiums they go relatively unknown nationally. There’s several levels of college football depending on school size, funding and facilities. NCAA Division I (FBS & FCS) - FBS is the one most people are familiar with. NCAA Division II NCAA Division III NJCAA - Junior College or JUCO NAIA A vast majority of NFL players come from the NCAA Division I. However, the NFL will find talented players from any level of football. You don’t necessarily have to be drafted by a NFL team to play NFL football as a team can sign you as Free Agent and if you’re good enough you’ll make the NFL roster. Only 1.6 % of athletes who play college football end up playing in the NFL.

College football is becoming more popular in America and around the world. Its fun to watch!

Texas A&M has yell leaders instead of cheerleaders. They are members of the corpe of cadets. That was midnight yell at the end. Fans gather in the stadium (or designated location for away games) and practice yells the night before the game.

[@rodneysisco6364]

[@warrendavis9262]

And even so, college head coaches have state troopers as bodyguards during the game....

[@japcar84]

The Philadelphia Eagles used to have a small courtroom and jail inside of their stadium. Local judges would take turns presiding during home games. That is how bad things used to be at Eagles games. It has improved slightly over the years.

My nephew's middle name is Nile after Nile Kinnick who played for Iowa and the stadium is named after. Brother in law is die hard fan. My sisters went to college there...one got here nursing degree there and works at the Children's hospital in Chicago.

[@gkiferonhs]

You'll see the fighting because it's unusual. As usual drunks at games get into pushing mashes. When you consider the tens of thousands of games every weekend, the energy of the crowd and the amount of alcohol involved, the violence is pretty low. I'm 69 years old and was a teacher (so I was in charge of parking lots, etc. after games which is when kids'll fight.) I have only broken up six fights and five of them were "adults". I think most people are pretty well behaved.

There aren't a lot of fights when you consider there are 32 nfl teams which means 16 games (minus a few for bye weeks) each week. 16 games times stadiums that hold say 70k each you are looking at 1.1M people.

Wow they really didn't cover many of the big teams!!! You guys need to come to Wisconsin and check out the Wisconsin Badgers, we're in the Big 10 Conference and one of the most famous schools and college football teams in the country and our tailgating is absolutely world famous, it's on a different level Ash, you need it in your life at least once!!!!!!!

[@timothydixon2545]

Fighting does happen but it is not as common as you think and most times the people stop it most times it is one drunk person and another drunk person and someone says something stupid and they kick off but most people stop them and then they get kicked out of the stadium that is why most fights don’t happen cause they will just kick you out and tickets are not cheap

[@gregcable3250]

There are some really tough rivalries with fights, etc. in US NFL and college football, but they don't happen often or go very far for a couple or reasons, I think. First, our cops here typically don't take any sh@t and will happily whip your ass if you really misbehave, and they all carry guns and other instruments of pain (relatedly, the security at games will usher your butt out of there if you are misbehaving, or get a cop or cops to do it). Second might be off but there is sooooo much violence on the field that fans don't bring it off, whereas in UK football, there is no violence and hardly much contact--so the fans get hammered at the pub before (or during) the game and have beer muscles when they get offended by the other fans or if their team is playing poorly. Just a couple of hypotheses.

There are many great traditions in college football. First and foremost are the traditions related to the Army - Navy game, which is always the last regular season college football game every year. What I haven't yet mentioned are my two eldest daughters who are graduates of Texas A&M University at College Station, and in all of my experience, there is NO college that has greater, deeper, and more meaningful traditions than Texas A&M. Going to a home game in College Station, Texas, is like going to church. The Aggies of Texas A&M never lose--they may run out of time, or they may be outscored, BUT AGGIES NEVER LOSE.
