I think everybody does.


11. Northwestern -- leaving at halftime.

[Glovey]

I wonder why Chief Illiniwek's halftime appearance isn't on the list. That's been around a lot longer than Chief Osceola.

Because it's a list of the coolest traditions, not the oldest.

Maybe if we had a decent football team, it would've made the list. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img]

[Iowa_Card]

Iowa has a tradition of winning at home.

[MsFunkay]

whooo ppiiiggg sooeeeyyyys are cool

[tallahassee blues fan]

Yeah, the call of the Hogs coupled with Uncle Heavy's Hog Hat makes them a top ten tradition IMO. The Mississippi State cowbells are cool, particularly since they were banned and MSU fans still sneak them into games and use them. MSU fans would probably say Jackie Sherrill's bull castration could have been a great tradition and one better than the cow bells.

Or being the NFL's biggest player factory.

Another tradition--Michigan's of increasing the NCAA single-game attendance record every year.
