Actually this happens every home game. A season is only 12 games long, 13 games if you make a bowl game, 14 if you make a bowl game and a conference championship game, and 15 if you make it to the national title game. It’s impossible to get more than 7 home games per season. Due to this, this is every single home game…and it never ever ever ever ever gets old or boring.
Plus, for teams that compete for the D1 Championship (Distinct from the National Championship), it’s possible to have an additional 3 home playoff games in the postseason
@@insertcolorherehawk3761 that is indeed very very true. That being said, most people internationally have no clue what the FCS is or that it exists or how it works.
So the "One with the horse" is Florida State University. The mascot is Chief Osceola and his horse Renegade. They are depicting an actually Seminole Indian chief. His dress is what the chiefs of the Seminole tribe would wear. He also throws his spear into the ground from on top of his horse. Except when they play their in state rivals the University of Florida. Then he dismounts gets the crowd even more excited and stabs the spear into the ground.
The depiction of the Seminole chief on the horse (Osceola, is the historical figure's name) is endorsed by the Seminole tribe of Florida. The tribe's condition for use of the name and image is that Osceola be depicted respectfully, accurately, and with dignity. The Seminoles consider themselves an unconquered people and claim they've never signed a treaty with the US government which relinquished their historical, ancestral rights. Students who portray Osceola aren't necessarily required to be of Seminole heritage, but they are required to take courses on Seminole history and culture, as well as Osceola, himself. There is also a Seminole tribe of Oklahoma which relocated from Florida during the 19th Century. They do not approve of the use of the Seminole name. Other ethnic groups have less difficulty with cultural appropriation by universities and professional teams. Notre Dame are the Fighting Irish (a name assigned to the school's teams by sports journalists, and considered derogatory and anti Catholic at the time). Boston's NBA team are the Celtics, as Boston has always had a large Irish Catholic population. Both use leprechauns as mascots. The Minnesota NFL team are the Vikings due to the state's heavy population of Scandinavian immigrant descendants. The mascot is a cartoonishly inaccurate depiction of a Wagnerian Viking. The University of Illinois teams are called the Illini (pronounced ill-LYE-nye), who are a native tribe indigenous to the state. To the best of my knowledge, they have made no formal protest. Bottom line - the use of ethnic names and images in sports is a touchy topic in America. Some are quite sensitive, others far less so. Best to avoid altogether in the age of cancel culture.
The Nebraska one deserves some context… That game they were honoring Tom Osborne, a legend in Nebraska. He served as the head football coach for the Nebraska Cornhuskers from 1973-1997 after retiring as a football player. He was enducted into the football HOF in 1999. Then, in 2000, he was elected to the federal congress by the voters of the third congressional district of Nebraska as a republican where he served three terms from 2001-07. He did not run for reelection in 2006 cycle and left office when his term ended on January 3 2007. From there he returned as head athletics director at the university from 2007-13. That game was his last game as the head of th euniversities athletics department. Nebraska, in football alone, has won 46 conference titles, large number of them under Osborne, as well as five official national titles that the university has claimed, three of them under Osborne, and nine more unclaimed national titles majority of those also under Osborne. Now that entrance that you saw, with that full stadium and the crowd going nuts, isn’t anything new for Nebraska. Win or lose, they have sold out every single home game since 1964…and I don’t mean sold out every home game as in to X capacity, I mean sold out to standing room since 1964, 2020 covid year excluded. The stadiums official capacity is just over 85,000, but it’s regularly hosted over 90,000 on game day and most recently 92,003 for a women’s college volleyball game between the university of Nebraska, located in Lincoln Nebraska, and the university of Omaha, located in Omaha Nebraska. Last fun fact, on game day even if it only sells to it’s listed capacity of 85,500, during the game it’s the third largest city in the entire state of Nebraska. The state of Nebraska has roughly the same area as England and Scotland combined. In fact, it doesn’t even have to sell out to be the third largest city in Nebraska. Bell view is officially the 3rd largest city behind Lincoln and Omaha with a population of 64,176.
The Clemson one is known as the most exciting twenty-five seconds in college football. Between you and me, Clemson fans are the only people who feel that way about it. But I’ll explain it anyways… Clemson is known as the Tigers. They play at Tiger Stadium. That stadium though is very rarely known as Tiger Stadium…it’s more commonly called Death Valley. It’s the place where opponents go to die, referencing Clemson’s almost unbeaten home record and pure dominance over the past few decades, especially the most recent ten years. The Stadium is also built into the side of a grassy hill giving it the appreance of a valley and it’s good for trapping in the deafening noise. Before the game, the members of the team board buses that go around the stadium to the top of the hill. They then get off the busses, touch the rock that comes from the real Death Valley in California, and then rush down the hill onto the field of play to intimidate their oppponent and get the fans hyped up and energized, even more than they already are.
The let’s go sign is a bit excessive at Virginia Tech, you certainly don’t need a let’s go sign to hype up a college football crowd…maybe in the NFL or the MLS, but not college football…but hey, they like doing it and it’s a way to involve the cheer leaders so why not? XD.
The one where they run through the smoke and what not is for the University of Miami. It is indeed very chaotic and cheesy, but it’s very fitting for the city, the program, and the area. The program has a chaotic history as a football team, the city is filled with chaos daily, and everything about it is just…very Florida like. Lol.
I went to a military high school and every student was required to go to the football games! I played in front of about a thousand people and it was exhilarating so I can’t imagine what playing on front of these many people must be like!
@oiradsportfilms The UM transportation director in 1950 came up with the idea of discharging fire extinguishers, while the players were running onto the field to get the crowd into the game.
Just an average Saturday on 100's of college campuses from September to December. Then of course you add in the indoor seasons of basketball, which although have smaller capacities also sell out. Sports in America is a religion.
American football and basketball actually developed and became popular at the college and high school levels, before the current professional leagues (NFL, NBA) were founded. The NFL didn't catch and surpass college football in popularity until the 1960's.The oldest major college league, the Big Ten Conference, began playing football in 1896, 24 years before the 1st season of the NFL (1920). The top level of college football, NCAA Division 1-FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) , has 133 schools divided into 10 conferences.
Florida State is not some crazy guy on a horse lmao. Florida State is nicknamed the Seminoles, after the Seminole Native American tribe that is the most populous in Florida. That is Chief Osceola and his horse Renegade. Chief Osceola is dressed to depict a real Native American chief. This is done, of course, in partnership with the Florida Seminole tribe. A break away group of the Seminole tribe moved to Oklahoma and they do not approve of the tradition, but given that the university represents florida getting the approval and partnership with the florida division of the Seminole tribe is what really matters. The music that the marching band is playing is one of the “fight songs” and the crowd is doing the Tomahawk Chop. The university also offers courses on Seminole culture, history and society. I believe it is mandatory to take at least one of these courses to graduate front he university, and the person depicting Chief Osceola obviously has to take all the Seminole history courses first. The university and the Seminole tribe both view it as a mutually beneficial partnership. The university can profit off the uniqueness of the tradition and the tribe benefits by having the students get educated about it’s history and it’s people. When he leads the team and the band onto the field, he’ll throw his spear point into the ground. When they host Florida, the biggest rival of Florida State, he’ll jump off his horse in dramatic fashion to fire up the crowd even more and personally slam the spear into the ground.
@@tucker4pfabsolutely. I don’t even think you have to like FSU, it’s something that you gotta respect and appreciate. Lots of teams have traditions, but none are quite as extravagant or unique. I’m a UAB fan and I watch Florida State games just cause that intro is so cool and I’d like to go to that stadium to see it in person.
There are some College Football stadiums that have sufficent seating capacity for everyone in who lives in that town to attend, with room for people from other places. Anyone who buys tickets can attend. If you live in the U.S. in Eastern Time you can watched televised games from around 12 noon, to 10 p.m give or take, sometimes longer. This would require basic cable, or a streaming equivalent. At only 103 years old the NFL is the Johnny Come Lately of Gridiron Football. College Football is 154 years old. Canadian Football is 162 years old. If you tailgate that's an all day affair. It's essentially a pre-game gathering, and barbeque. If you're the guy or gal doing the cooking, you need to get there early. How early depends on the venue and who is playing who. You're probably looking at being at the stadium from 5 AM to after 10 PM for maybe longer.

Mississippi State has 8 home games this season, the maximum is usually 8 for teams in conferences, and possible for more if you’re an independent.
Plus, for teams that compete for the D1 Championship (Distinct from the National Championship), it’s possible to have an additional 3 home playoff games in the postseason

One of the best traditions in CFB
Oh, also, I hate Florida State. I am a Gator fan.
Thanks buddy appreciate this information
@@jasoneatmon1291go Gators 🐊 🎉
They only play 12-14 games and half of those are on the road, so every home game is an event like you see here

I think the signs are more to help keep the chants sync'd.

The VA Tech Enter Sandman has registered on the richter scale, showing seismic activity multiple times.
These traditions are the same every game! The “let’s go” sign is definitely not necessary to get the crowd to do ig
It's job security for the cheerleaders, though.😂
The one you said was just chaos was for the Miami Hurricanes so it’s kind of fitting that it’s chaotic
Love the irony
It’s cool how close to the pitch the fans can get
I went to a military high school and every student was required to go to the football games! I played in front of about a thousand people and it was exhilarating so I can’t imagine what playing on front of these many people must be like!
They love the razamattaz!
The Miami one is different because running through the smoke started at the University of Miami. We started the tradition back in the 1950's. GO CANES
Love it
how did the tradition began?

AVFTS.....what type of crowds and entrances do your college sports have over in the UK?? similar or different?
no we do this stuff every game. College football is like a religion here
It’s our Native American culture
4:38 someone correct me if I am wrong but I think that is the bioggest stadium in college football
107,601 capacity, they call it the big house
You don't understand...it's like this every game. Michigan sells out 104,000 fans/game. Every game for over 25 years.
Did you really call it cheesy? It's all tradition here in the States my friend.
How do you not finish the video?
Not special games -6 home games plus fans go to away games
Why does “cheerleading” do Brits head in so much? Lol it’s not that serious.
