kzbin.info/www/bejne/nF7dp2ujZbGMm7c This is a Penn State University game (one of the schools on this video) they have a home game every year, usually against one of the biggest rivals, that they dub the "white out". Without the broadcaster commentary in this video, you can really hear how electric the atmosphere is. (For context this is a school located in a town called "state college" because its literally what the whole town is built around.)

Enter sandman - Virginia Tech ( Blacksburg : Atlantic coast ) 2. Chief Osceola - Florida state ( Tallahassee: Atlantic coast ) 3. White out - Pennsylvania state university ( happy valley : big 10 ) ( all the students where white ) 4. The run down Howard’s rock - Clemson university ( Clemson South Carolina : Atlantic coast confernce , the team runs down a hill at a 45 degree angle after touching Howard’s rock which is a granite stone from my home state of California ; the second one was the spell out of the school C-L-E-M-S-O-N ) 5.

Nobody has mentioned it yet so I will. These games are usually all day events. We tailgate before the games, which basicly means drinking, cooking and eating food, drinking, playing some lawn/drinking games, catch up with old friends, make new friends, and more drinking. The earliest games start at 11:00 AM, when I was in college we called this the "Eggs and Kegs" tailgates, which started at 6:00 AM. You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.

[@PatrickORourke-xz3kp]

@@jonograhamreacts Yes! Even though this is accurate, that it's the greater "community" of the given university that brings the fans together, it is also a purposefully open party, including the game. Except while the game is played, then there are clear lines of demarcation. Example: I live in Iowa City, where the University of Iowa is located. We have rivalries every year, and among them, are the University of Wisconsin and the University of Nebraska. When these opposing fans come here, most know how to be good guests and there are many relationship ties, because the states border each other, so we have bunch of Badgers and Cornhuskers come into our tailgate area and do shots with us. This town is literally turned black and gold and sprinkled in the sea of black and gold will be bright red and white colors that obviously stand out. My point is, although the game is important, it's the coming together of the community and the sharing of the day that keeps people gettinig up at 3:00 AM on game day and driving 2-3 hours to set up in shitty weather for a game that may or may not be exciting or even good. Even teams with losing records in the Big Ten (and SEC) go into every game day ready to rock and roll, at least until kickoff. Whereever you decide to partake in a college game-day experience, you are going to be welcome and some sort of beverage will be pushed into your hand at every tailgate.

[@roberthudson1959]

The Army-Navy pregame ceremony is a different kind of awe-inspiring. Among other things, the schools conduct a "prisoner of war exchange" so that students attending classes at the rival school can reunite with their fellow soldiers or sailors. All of the students are preparing to serve as commissioned military officers, and everything reflects that reality.

[@Mike_294]

The second entrance, Florida State, is a sign of respect to the Seminole Tribe of Florida. The real tribe has given Florida State permission to represent them on the football field. The horse's name is Renegade, and his rider is Osceola (ah-see-oh-la). He is named after Chief Osceola, whom led the Seminoles into battle against the Americans during the 19th Century, when they were trying to move Native American people out of the region and to reservations out west. Before every home game, Osceola is dressed in authentic Seminole clothing and face painting. He mounts Renegade and leads the Seminoles into "battle" against the opposing team by planting the flaming spear at midfield. In my opinion, this is without a doubt the best college tradition in the country.

So FSU's (Florida State University) mascot is named after a local native American tribe. The reason they can do this and so many other teams have gotten flack for this is because FSU pays them for the licensing of their tribe.

The Irsish flag was held over Notre Dame's entrance because they are nicknamed The Fighting Irish. They are a Catholic school in the North.

the FSU mascot is not a native American member but a student, and FSU does not pay a licensing fee to the tribe. It's by mutual agreement that FSU is allowed to use the Seminole symbol and image.

The reason college football became so large in the US is the size of the country. In many places, especially in the West of the US, the distances between major cities with NFL teams was too large. Most people lived in areas where they simply couldn't make an easy day trip to a major professional ball stadium. But we still love our sports, and every area has a major college or university nearby. So out West, college sports became more popular attendance-wise than pro games, simply because you could make a trip to your local college and back without having to waste vacation time off work or the expense of long-distance travel and lodgings. Over time, the colleges saw the numbers and had to build larger and larger stadiums to handle the fans, and US College Football took its place alongside professional football for having major crowd followings and needing superstar stadiums. And here we are today.

You're all backwards. College is where the game was invented. Most major college football teams have been playing since the 1800's when it was "the old game". All of the pre war names are college names. The first big pro name is red grange (galloping ghost). Jim Thorpe maybe but he was also a multiple medalist olympian. This is all on Google.

Best I've seen live is the Nebraska Tunnel Walk. Gives you goosebumps.

[@mattdewd1239]

I grew up in Clemson and worked about a mile from the stadium and you could hear the crowd chanting over the game on the tv in the restaurant.

[@doddmatt80]

You should do a full video on the SEC

[@TheJhtlag]

Welcome to come to VT, not a particularly good team right now after a disastrous last season but everyone showed up for the first game of the year and did the entrance again like we were national champs and playing against a so-so opponent.

[@outaview]

Thank You for sharing the video. I enjoyed the football as always but your reaction as well. I prefer college football to professional football. College spirit is huge in the US. I am from the midwest, about 1.5 hours from Chicago. I live in Milwaukee Wisconsin which is known for its beer. So much goes into a day of football. I see it already mentioned the tailgating which shows the spirit held. I live right behind the Milwaukee Brewers (baseball). The Brewers are so loved that even if the game that day is not held here they still tailgate just to listen to the game and party together, cooking out, drining beer and being together. I just wanted to say i have been to Africia twice and loved it (Mambasa, Kenya)

[@marcstov]

I'm a michigan fan, but Wisonsin and the Hokies have by far the best crowd interactions

[@UMfan21]

Yeah the title is misleading because Wisconsin plays jump around after the 3rd quarter, not during their entrance.

[@UMfan21]

We sing "Mr. Brightside" similarly during the game

[@stephb3321]

My cousin’s dad has worked the Michigan games for over 40 years as an attendant. He has only missed 3-4 days during that time. He lives for game day.

[@JacobNascar]

I remember watching the game from the first clip bc i had nothing better to do. I saw the intro and it gave me chills. They were underdogs on their home turf and came out on top against their rival. These epic entrances are typically between rival schools and are on a prime time tv window. If you want that full effect, find out which prime time rivalry game to watch. Night games are my favorite.

[@patrickn8355]

Fun fact: the Seminole tribe of Florida has entrusted FSU with using the name “Seminoles” since 1947 as a way of honoring and promoting the tribes history.

[@katiesmith5527]

Liking just for the fact that you did the air drums during 'In the Air Tonight'. I love watching people from other countries that haven't really watched American football seeing how hype college football games are. Try watching videos from championship games. It's insane.

[@ThePositive0ne1]

On September 4th, 2021 the first college shown Virginia Tech caused a mini earthquake while jumping and getting hype to the entrance song Enter Sandman. In my opinion that's the most hype anyone has been. I mean it was enough to cause a mini earthquake for goodness sake.

[@RippinCulture]

If you come to the states gotta catch an auburn home game you will have a blast from tail gating to tiger walk to the eagle flight and the atmosphere of the game are amazing and god willing a victory to venture to toomers corner you will have a great time

[@beckf1858]

I'm in my mid 40s, but next month I'm going to a Wisconsin game so I can participate in Jump Around. It's been a bucket list experience! There is nothing more exciting, thrilling, exhausting and heartbreaking as college football.

[@MikeSolo1]

No matter what game you end up going to, make it a point to figure out where the student section of the stadium is, and get a seat as close to that as possible. That is ALWAYS the rowdiest part of the crowd at any college stadium. I am biased (Big 10 country here), but I highly recommend a game at one of these 4 stadiums: Ohio State, Michigan, Iowa, and Penn State There are other great atmospheres, to be sure, but these are some of the most awesome ones in the country. Ohio State and Michigan are always over 100k fans. Penn State's "Whiteout" game is a sight to behold on TV, so I can just imagine what it's like in person. And Iowa has, by far, the coolest (and most recently developed) tradition in the entirety of college football... There is a children's hospital that overlooks Kinnick Stadium, and before kickoff, the entire stadium looks and waves at the kids for several seconds.

[@greenwave819]

Imagine the lil 10 is good, then look at the reality of the SEC

[@itz_dave_______]

Come to the States in September or October... You get both NFL and NCAA football games!!

So glad you enjoyed this! Be sure to tune in to Part 2 which includes Notre Dame Fighting Irish of my home town South Bend iNDIANA. They are one of the nost famous teams in College Football, having won 11 National Championships Go Irish!

[@carlk8308]

The game that had all the yellow was Michigan University, Wolverines. That's the largest stadium in the US. Enjoyed the video.

[@TimothyPowlas-js1dh]

It never makes the lists in these reaction videos because the crowds aren’t the biggest or loudest, but the Army Navy game always gets overlooked. It’s the last game of the regular season, and often the last time many of the players will put on the football uniform.

[@SergeantGibby]

Can you react to some of the games from the last season I would recommend #3 Alabama vs #6 Tennessee, #1 Georgia vs #4 Ohio State, #2 Michigan vs #3 TCU.

[@jonograhamreacts]

yeah man, 100%

[@binxbolling]

Alabama in your thumbnail. Most national championships of any program.

[@mutteringcrone1210]

To catch a football game, you need to come in the Fall. It's a Fall into Winter game, so September and by late December or January, there are playoff games.

[@bensteckler6698]

Beaver Stadium is the largest structure, easily, within 100 miles of Penn State. I've seen it from a small single engine prop plane, flying into State College. I'll never forget my first day of Freshman year, seeing it at ground level from a block away.

[@KG-kx6yw]

Plenty of good places to catch a college game, Texas (Austin, Tx), Georgia (Athens, GA), Alabama (Tuscaloosa, AL) and much more

[@greenwave819]

You missd the best and biggest. Tennessee (Knoxville) Penn State, and Michigan

You need to show some things of the Alabama Crimson tide and have won more National Championships than anyone especially over the last 17 years.

[@TheLuv4tankian]

You should see LSU (Louisiana State) at a night game!! The Tennessee "T" is incredible, too! Btw, I watch every game every week of a specific conference in college football called the SEC (Southeastern Conference) and I still get chills during every opening of every game.

[@Debbie338]

The University of Texas/Texas A&M rivalry started in 1894. It was one of the biggest spectacles in college football until Texas A&M moved to a different conference group a few years ago. Check out a Texas A&M half-time show. The marching band is about the best in college football and the students/fans traditionally stand throughout the entire game.

[@anthonykielman5469]

August thru January brother every Saturday I think yall will enjoy it greatly, great video brother, much love from the great state of texas

[@kek3908]

LOL, unless you have been to a big college football game, you ain't living. The atmosphere is literally electric and you can feel it, for real. These stadiums are massive compared to what you all get, and this happens literally 60 times every Saturday during the season as there are over 100 teams. Also, like Tyler Whitworth said, these are usually "all day" events. The absolute best times money can buy, it's just so much fun. The drinking part can get insane, lol. Oh whoa is me who woke up Sunday morning not remembering Saturday, lol.

[@ericmcmahon3872]

There’s a rivalry between Pittsburgh and West Virginia. It’s known as “The Backyard Brawl”. Pittsburgh and Morgantown, West Virginia are 75 miles apart, a lot of the kids on both teams know each other because a good majority of the players, and alumni of both schools reside in the Pittsburgh area. There’s a tradition that Pitt does between the 3rd and 4th quarter that they play Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline. The words in the chorus for the Pitt people is changed to “Let’s Go Pitt” and “Go Pitt”. The West Virginia people do their own words to the same song of the tune of “Eat Shit Pitt” and “Eat Shit”. Absolutely electric in person

[@devon33801]

There are better ones than these too, Iowa waving to the Children's Hospital, South Carolina playing Sandstorm, Michigan fans singing Mr. Brightside, and the list goes on. Great reaction!

The first team out on this video are The Virginia Tech Hokies.. The only college team that eats its mascot (not the literal mascot lol). Yup you can get turkey legs at the stadium. The mascot is a turkey lol.. I used to work at Tech and it is sooo insane at the events. I loved that job! HOKIES!!

[@Roland2665]

that wasn't a Sheriff running to get a donut, it was a State Trooper from Florida. All coaches have State Police as a protection detail for home and away games.

[@sharonbryant2384]

You have to show up hours before the game to tailgate and have great food and drinks! It's an all day event! It's the best party ever!

[@stephb3321]

I attended a tailgating party prior to a Mississippi State/LSU game. The only time I had deep fried turkey , cornbread, and grits before a game. It was the best tailgating event I’d ever been to. 😄

[@beegee1960]

The ones you saw here are just a very small sampling of the games that are being played across the country every Saturday during the season. Everything from D1 down to very small colleges. and even some high school games are played on Saturday.

[@sigsour2266]

Yea just so you know man there is WAY WAY more energy and hype in college sports. Especially football . I'm a Florida Gator fan and I live very close to the university. The Florida Gator vs Georgia Bulldog game is held on neutral ground at the NFL Jacksonville Jaguars stadium and it's the largest tailgating event IN THE WORLD across all sports. It's a full day of wild and crazy times

[@alonenjersey]

Hello Jon Graham. I highly recommend you visit the states during Sept. and Dec. Spend some time at a typical sports bar on college football Saturday.

[@garykordyzon5032]

That last one, at Michigan Stadium, had an attendance over 110,000.

107,601 max capacity Michigan stadium called the big house. The stand is shaking and bouncing and it’s electrifying.

[@wiesty78]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it because 457 comments is a lot to read through but the Penn State White Out game is typically the premier game of the season for Penn State. Usually saved for the game against Ohio State, Michigan, or Michigan State depending on which team they play at home that season and it's only one for one game.

[@sikksotoo]

If you do come to the States, College Football (regular season) runs from the beginning of September until the end of November. Bowl season is a bit difficult to explain. NFL regular season runs from Sep-Dec before starting the playoffs.

The excitement and joy this game provides is only equaled by its ability to absolutely pulverize your heart.

[@detroitrockcity8]

Rivalry games in college have a whole other breed of competitiveness that some say exceeds the pro league/NFL. The marching band and student section give it a more raw and real emotion versus a bunch of adults sipping $15 beers as a social event lol. I’ve been to a Michigan/Michigan State rivalry game and it’s ELECTRIC. Now if one team stinks, it may hurt attendance. Nobody likes a blowout unless it’s your team dominating. But most of those games are the “gotta see” ones.
