Gotta admit, I've always been a sucker for the We Are-Penn State chant.

I like a few. Touching the rock at Clemson, Play like a Champion Today at ND, dotting the "i" in the Script Ohio, running through the T at Tennessee are a few off the top of my head.

I like the touching of the rock at Clemson, the 1 I can't stand is "Another Wildcat Firstdown" roar. Everytime I heard that when in Manhatten I wanted to punch Bill Snyder in the face. Lol

I am sure I'll get blasted, but the Sooner Schooner and Ralphie leading CU out of the tunnel. The flyovers at Air Force and the Falcon circling the stadium doesn't suck.

Agree, nothing better than Boomer Sooner (for someone who grew up with Nebraska-Oklahoma).

Great topic!!
- The Midshipmen and Cadets marching into the stadium before the Army/NAVY game
- Auburn's War Eagle that flies around the stadium at the beginning of each home game
- Florida State's Chief Osceola throwing the flaming spear down at midfield and the war chant
- USC's Traveler and the Trojan warrior
- I have only seen video and pictures, but tailgating at The Grove at Ole Miss
I am not a hater, but i have never gotten the script Ohio thing. What is so cool about spelling out Ohio and dotting the i? Maybe it's a "have to be there thing", and it doesn't translate on tv, but I don't get it.

I actually kinda like the script Ohio. Not sure if it's the pageantry or what, but I think it's pretty cool.

Was at the V tech game a couple years ago and have to admit the "enter sandman" thing with everyone jumping around is pretty cool.

Wasn't that before the USC/Ohio State game a few years ago when the tuba player completely smoked a camera guy when dotting the I?

The fight songs for Notre Dame and Michigan.
I hear those and I immediately think of College Football Saturday and all its greatness and pageantry.

Absolutely! Right behind those fight songs is USC's.

I have been to some games as well and to me it always sounds like they are trying to raise the dead when they do that chant. It certainly sticks in your head though.

Totally agree! As active duty Navy, this game's tradition trumps just about anything else out there. You would be shocked at how much attention is paid to this inter-service mathcup. Those academies all but shut down the week leading up to gametime. Anything that draws annual attendance by the POTUS has got some serious sway. It may not be the greatest brand of football anyone has seen, but the sheer will to win during that game usually comes out. You would have a hard time finding dudes taking plays off during the Army-Navy game. I think this is the greatest (non-Husker) tradition in sports... and it's not even close.
FWIW, there is an awesome documentary on Showtime called, "Game of Honor" (not "game of thrones") that shows some great behind the scenes leading up to this game. Very well done.
Consolation prizes go to Wisconsin's "jump around" and touching the rock at Clemson... really enjoy both of those.
Go Navy, Beat Army!!!
GBR!!!
