I hope you are ok. I really enjoyed your channel but haven't seen new videos in quite some time. :(

Pro sports in America have their moments, but the culture of collegiate sports here in America is simply unrivaled. There's nothing in the world like a Saturday night in Death Valley when Alabama comes to town, or an overtime at Cameron Indoor against Kentucky.

Even our high school teams are crazy!! High schools often have Pep rallies that are this wild. There are videos on KZbin of some. Especially Texas high school pep rallies!!!

Some of these songs will cause the actual stadium to shake. "Jump Around" in Wisconsin will actually register on local earthquake sensors as a 3-plus Richter scale earthquake.

The footage from Pitt must have been from a game against West Virginia. Huge rivalry called The Backyard Brawl. Pitt never fills Heinz Field that well normally. We fill in Sweet Caroline with "Let's Go Pitt!" Opposing fans (especially West Virginia) reply with "Eat Shit Pitt!" Pitt and Penn State do the same song because Penn State is located right in the middle of Pennsylvania, and all the football culture comes from Pittsburgh's side of the state.

I've seen the UT State chant "I believe that we will win" done even at the high school level, as well as many of the others. I don't know if you've ever seen a FL State football fan show like this, but the chop coincides with the team name--Seminoles, which is the historically dominant tribe of Florida, and their most famous chief Osceola (ah-see-OH-la), and his horse Renegade come out on the field of each home before the start, and he throws a burning spear into the ground after riding a bit around the field. In case you don't already know, the A & M in Texas A & M stands for Agricultural & Mechanical--thus the team name Aggies. I'm sure there's an article on Wikipedia about how Oklahoma got the nickname Sooners. I don't know if it's been explained as to why so many fans are at the college/university level. It has a 2-fold reason. First is the size of the country, in that millions of people live hundreds of miles from the nearest pro team. Second, many of the fans went to that school a generation or 2 ago, and are still loyal, and/or their children are/have. In Sweet Caroline (Pittsburgh Panthers), they chanted "Let's Go Pitt".

I played high school football in a small town in Alabama in the late 1950's . We would draw 5,000 fans to our home games. I guess the other side of that is there just wasn't that much else to do . LOL

The clip with the Eyes of Texas was from a game called the "Red River Shootout," which the annual rivalry game between the University of Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma State University Sooners, it's played at Cotton Bowl Stadium, which is considered neutral ground. That's why the capacities are different. Yes, the stadium holds 92500 when at full capacity, but the clip shows half the stadium gone because...the game's over, Oklahoma lost. The Oklahoma fans went home and the Texas fans stayed to celebrate. There's a pretty storied history and a rich tradition behind the game. For example, the Texas Mascot, depending on which side you ask, is named Bevo because some Oklahoma students snuck into the mascot's pen and branded the animal with the numbers 13 - 0, which was the score of the previous Red River Shootout. After Texas found the branding, they quickly rebranded over the steer so it spelled "BEVO" (13_E_V_0) instead. Winner of the annual contest also gains control of the Red River, which serves at the border between the two states.

I believe that some of the greatest sports fans in the USA are at high school football games...at least here in Texas. The "Eyes of Texas" is being sung at the end of a game hence the low "attendance". I suggest you check the student reactions of App State when they beat Michigan and A&M. Even the small schools have the greatest sports fans.

For sure ! My old school Churchill we had the “ Gucci Bowl” a revelry between Churchill and Clark high school here in San Antonio , it like a college game . Actually only in high school with big reveries especially in Texas you have the football game going on , the big bands competing with each other as well as the pep squads then the cheerleaders battle , it’s huge … it’s rediculous , exciting .. It’s football !! lol

I went to Cy-Fair High School. Some of our pep rallies are on KZbin. There's one video from 1985 that I LOVE to look at sometimes. It brings back great memories. Most of the football players are dressed in cowboy boots and Wranglers!!! Their hair is trimmed nicely. Mostly good kids that loved football and hoped for a scholarship to college!!!

Oklahoma was settled during the land rush that was orchestrated by the US government to rapidly occupy the land purchased from France in the Louisiana Purchase. Settlers were awarded land grants for any land that they could claim with Oklahoma being on the western most end of the territory. The land rush officially started at St. Louis ("The Gateway to the West") and was marked with the firing of a cannon. Oklahoma was settled by a mixture of pioneers that waited for the ceremony ("Boomers") and those that left Sooner.

@brianhums5056, but he's not European (S. Africa), and I believe he's just repeating what others have said. Also, there's a big difference between countries where they totally ignore the university teams, and here where we're just as rabid about the college/university level, if not more. It's like comparing apples to oranges.
