that the FOOTBALL TEAM actually participates in doing. The rest of the "traditions" are sideshow antics.
In ESPN's weekly #1QFor128 college football poll, the coaches were asked: What is college football’s best tradition? Here were their answers:
Army-Navy game, 16 percent 12th Man/midnight yell, Texas A&M, 11 percent Howard’s Rock, Clemson, 10 percent Dotting the “i,” Ohio State, 9 percent War Eagle fly in, Auburn, 7 percent "Jump Around, Wisconsin, 6 percent Osceola and Renegade, Florida State, 5 percent Gold helmets/"Play Like a Champion Today," Notre Dame, 5 percent Rivalry games, 4 percent Running of Ralphie the Buffalo, Colorado, 2 percent

Um, pretty sure the whole Army Navy game is an actual game. Not a sideshow. There is plenty of pomp surrounding the game, but the game is played.

I didn't see the hermaphroditic parrot escaping from a jail cell amongst the spritzing fire extinguishers. This list is bogus. That entrance is pure magical.

getting handed a losing season and knocked out of bowl eligibility in the same game by losing to Clemson. There's a chance we can bring all of those back this year. Those were great traditions.

yep, hard to beat the cross dressing poultry, breaking out of jail to fire extinguishers (which is appropriate since SoCar likes to get fried, all to the tune of 2001, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, which is a tone poem by Strauss but inspired by the work of Nietzsche,how many ppl realize that much of the work deals with ideas such as the "eternal recurrence of the same" so it is actually the PERFECT song for So Car, eternal recurrence of the same...like being a bunch of losers.---- see mom and you thought I slept through class. how much better does it get then watching cross dressing jail birds escape? makes me all warm and fuzzy just thinking about it.. oh wait, no, that just means I have to go to the bathroom.

You do realize that 13th Circuit Solicitor Walt Wilkins's uncle is David Wilkins, Chairman of the Clemson Board of Trustees? Doubt that Walt wants to sweep the damage under the rug, and if he did, Ambassador Wilkins would have his gonards in a paper bag, probably handing them off to his brother and Walt's dad, Billy Wilkins, Chief Judge of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals.
But if the idiot with the sledge and his family (his dad and others were also charged) have a half decent attorney and some $$$, this thing will drag on for years. It won't be settled in a week or two.
