Another lame list by SI. I’m guessing PSU’s White Out didn’t make it since there obvious racial overtones there...../s. Also, yet another article only acknowledging the existence of Army and Navy but never Air Force.

“We Are the Boys”...and yes UF tried to ban it, because they considered it “sexist”, but thankfully that didn’t happen.

Iowa Hawkeye fans waving in unison to children in the hospital that overlooks the stadium.

I LOVE that! Kudos to Iowa.

Obviously it won’t be a tradition, but I admit tearing up a bit watching last year’s Purdue-Ohio State game when Tyler Trent made it into the stadium.

As they say, “Not a dry eye in the house”.....RIP Tyler.

I think one of the greatest tradition in college football is also a new one.

The 50 yard, flying pocketbook snatch is where the low IQ student/athlete snatches a pocketbook, then without stopping, sprints 50 yards in 5 seconds or less. Altho the JUCO colleges have had enormous early success, the more established institutions are quickly gaining ground thanks to affirmative action and a general dumbing down of the student population,

PSU’s anything is not real respected, given their recent past. That’s quite a black eye from Sandusky and company.
