Tradition & Rivalries
What are your favorite football traditions at your school?

Rutgers: "We have the Scarlet Walk which happens two hours before kickoff and the team walks down toward the stadium right past the statue that says "The Birthplace of College Football." The band plays and the fans crowd around the ivy that the players walk between."

Connecticut: "When UConn's offense enters the Red Zone, the band plays a little tune and the crowd yells, "STICK IT IN! STICK IT IN, STICK IT IN!""

Cincinnati: "The band running down the steps entering Nippert Stadium, and the players running straight to the student section when they come out of the tunnel."

West Virginia: "A relatively new tradition: The entire stadium sings Country Road after every win. A much longer tradition is the pregame performance by the Pride of West Virginia, the WVU Mountaineer Marching Band."
