      Ohio State vs Xichigan is the biggest rivalry in all of college sports. OSU students won’t even mention the name of “that team up north” and spend the entire week prior to the game crossing out every letter M on campus. The OSU band does Script OHIO, and the fans sing Hang On Sloopy every game.

    Can’t believe Florida State University’s tradition of Chief Osceola riding out on the field on Renegade, the horse, and stabbing the lit spear in the ground is left out of the video.... One of the most well known traditions in college football and a truly meaningful one with the actual unconquered Seminole Tribe of Florida playing a huge role in the process of the tradition.

    I go to the university of Iowa! The tradition is that at the end of the first quarter, the whole stadium turns away from the field to focus on something bigger than football. The best part is that even the opposing team contributes and participated in the tradition. For about 5 minutes, nothing is bigger than the kids!

    On the Tennessee clip, it's important to note not only the fight song being sung by over 100k fans, but the checkerboard pattern of the fans in the stands. It was one of the first times it was attempted, where the fans looked up where their seats were to see whether to wear orange or white. This was an homage to the checkboard pattern in the end zones, an iconic look for their field for decades.

    The Mississippi State University tradition of the cowbells started a long time ago when a stray cow wandered onto the football field during a game. State went on to win that game and the fans adopted the Cowbell as a good luck charm. The tradition has become deeply rooted. Now, fans have attached handles to their bells and have customized them, painting them and decorating them. I saw a Dallas Cowboys #4, Mississippi State #15 mash up paint job on a cow bell once in honor of our beloved Dak Prescott. It was one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen. Now, cowbells are traditionally gifted to you or passed down among family members. They have grown in numbers and have gotten so incredibly loud, that the SEC has banned them from MSU's Away games. So... Hail State! "We Ring True"!!

    I went to Auburn for my undergrad, and during orientation they take you to the football stadium for a bit to teach you the chants, songs, and cues with the cheerleaders, band, and mascot present. This is so when you attend your first football game you already know all the cheers and chants so it can sound uniform, especially from the student section. Traditions are very big for college football here in the US. Thanks for sharing this video!

    Just for a bit of context into why college football is so important to American culture. The battle of bull run was the first big land battle in the Civil War, and people came on carriages to watch the battle which started the "tailgate", then most of the men fighting were of the age of a college student, so generally they would leave their schools and go to fight for their respective states (hence why the band resembles a war uniform of the time). There were entire college classes that were wiped out as a result (Texas A&M). Another minute detail was in the south, the girls their age would walk the men out as they marched, so generally the cheerleaders run out before the football team (generally). So really these games are almost a representation of who's state is the best for war... and football and its tactical side are a decent representation for war. That is why every game has the magnitude of a World Cup Finals match.

    The video skipped the best part of the Clemson tradition which is when all the players run down the hill, after touching the rock, and onto the field. The Clemson stadium is nicknamed, and more commonly referred to as, Death Valley. That's why the rock being from Death Valley in California is meaningful.
    They also didn't show FSU's tradition which is super cool and has ties to the local Native American tribe. FSU, Florida State Univeristy, has a deal with the local Native American tribe, The Seminoles, and it's actually members of the tribe who take part in it.

    I have a theory on why college football/basketball in the States is the closest thing we have to English football in terms of culture and atmosphere. Most if not all professional sports teams have stadiums that are in the middle of the richest part of our major cities and most fans dont usually live next or close to it, as for college stadiums, they are in campuses and communities which brings more passion from fans when they live right next to the stadium. Its like how in Europe, football fans are super passionate because a lot of the pitches are integrated in the community where as in the States they're usually placed in the middle of some gigantic parking lot amongst skyscraper offices or completely outside the city. I'm from Seattle and our university is University of Washington and we have one of the loudest stadiums in CFB. I recommend watching a video on our professional team (Seahawks) and how we have the loudest fans in the NFL. We once were so loud we triggered a minor earthquake.

    I can explain a bit of 11:24 and onward part. My best friend went to that university, "Texas A&M", so I was able to go to a number of home games. They are doing something called "Midnight Yell", which is the night before the game. Most of the student body shows up, and they practice the "yells" they are going to do the next day at the game. At Texas A&M, they don't have cheerleaders, instead they have "yell leaders", who are high ranking members of the Corps of Cadets. Also, all of the marching band members are required to also enroll in the Corps of Cadets, so they have a rather military and country like atmosphere to them, as you could tell by the "farmer's fight" yell lol.
    Also, I hate this video, because it literally explains nothing about what you are watching and just leaves you clueless. I've seen a number of people react to this video, and it happens every time. Great reaction on your part though, I found y'alls channel about a week ago, and been binge watching all your videos. Keep it up!
    EDIT: I forgot to say, but before they do a yell, the yell leader will do a hand signal to indicate which yell they are going to do, then the students in the front, who can see the yell leaders, do the same signal, and the signal keeps getting sent back until it gets to the top. Then when the yell leader sees that it's reached the top, they start the yell. It's a really unique school!
