Tradition. Do we have one?

[SCarolinaCy]

Well, we din't make this list, so I can stop supposing what ours would be.

heavy drinking regardless of weather

I thought we used to have one but I think we have abandoned ours lately.


Losing.

Winning. It's a two year old tradition that hasn't been solidified yet, but it's certainly on its way.

Sweet Caroline!

Fans returning late for the 2nd half due to halftime tailgating. This is improvement. In my day, most fans would leave at halftime and not come back.

Not necessarily a tradition, but I personally really like the Cyclone Warning sounds before kickoff and the Cyclone Weather alert. They could probably turn that into a tradition with a little more fanfare. Maybe a local meteorologist with a radar backdrop and some creativity.

Night game juicy wiggle with cell phone lights is another great one.

I remember the days when you could get in free at halftime. Usually we were down by 4 TDs but it was still fun to watch Troy Davis get 200.

No, we just follow the trend and gimmick. That's why a large portion of fan base wanna drop the Iowa series - our only traditional rivalry, or why they approve of boring, cheap-looking flat-black n white unis.

your definition of "large" and mine are not the same.

We have no tradition. Basically until two years ago our tradition was basically being the losing team.
Actually just thought. Our biggest football tradition is tailgating pre game.

Third and three we throw the ball.
Third and twelve we run.

Obsessing about uniforms???

I love the siren, especially after scores.

I think I've heard scoring siren used by other schools that don't have weather-related team nicknames. Can't recall when/who. But they need to stop it.

Losing by a lot to Oklahoma and Nebraska

Don't start those shenanigans with me, young man!

Third and three we throw the ball.
Third and twelve we run.

We'd throw a screen pass under Messingham's offense in both of those scenarios even though we had receivers who couldn't pass block worth to save their lives.

You missed the 1st and 10 run up the gut.

Wait that is Iowa's tradition. The run the ball on 3 and 9

 

[Cycsk]

Every 4 years, we have more presidential candidates show up for tailgating and games than anyone else! It is going to be a mess this year.

Fumblerooski. They'll never suspect it.
