British Guy Reacts To Best College Football Entrances
This was mental! College Football fans are something else. I have never seen anything like it in any other sports. Those players must be so pumped and proud to play for those fans. What team has the best entrance in College Football?
You Scottish?
FSU for sure!
I always liked the Seminole throwing the spear in the ground
Tennessee hands down. The T and the light show at night, unrivaled
@@josephm106 I'd love to go to a TN game one day, that sounds awesome!
the reason why there’s so much passion behind college sports is because you don’t view the players as athletes, you see them as friends and classmates. They’re guys that live in your neighborhood that you might see in class or around campus at the grocery store or the bar. These universitys have been around forever and are all over the country so it’s much easier to access college sports than professional
Ah that makes so much sense mate, they have that closer connection with the players. That never crossed my mind but it is such a good reason why they support them with such passion.
literally the worst description ever and it’s not even true.... While the nfl know has 31 teams i think.. or 32.. FBS has 131. The teams are much more local and people actually have a reason to support the schools because they most likely attended there. Alma matters and the fact there’s so many local teams in places nfl teams aren’t are the two reasons college is so exciting
all of these guys in college have the same chance of running into you at a supermarket as a NFL player. Unless you attend a university
@@Wxqzq9826 did I not say that?
@@Wxqzq9826 which I do…. And I run into them a lot not in class. I’m not sure where u got these ideas from. You must live in Wyoming or something
College football has the best atmosphere in all of sports
I am starting to think that too to be honest. Pretty awesome
Only for top teams in the country. For small colleges not so much. Especially if they don’t win a lot of games. 😂
@@JasonB808 Nah, even small colleges have that "special something" that pro teams just don't have. Even if they lose, it's still fun.
@@mertsalih I also like Premier league chants and songs.
Nah, Eastern European and South American soccer atmospheres are different. There's levels to this, and us cfb fans are tame in comparison.
A few weeks ago Tennessee won against Alabama, and that moment they won, fans jumped so much it registered on a nearby seismograph. Fans literally shook the earth celebrating. It was amazing! GBO! 🍊
That goalpost didn't stand a chance.
Go DAWGS!
Then they crapped themselfs and the season is done😂. GO BUCKEYES
Only Tennessee fans will act like they won the national championship by beating Alabama in a regular season game 😂
And then Tennessee played South Carolina.....
I'm a lifelong Georgia bulldog fan and I understand your reaction One reaction you definitely should think about is army -Navy when the cadets from West point, and the midshipmen from the naval academy at
Annapolis, play against each other. It's definitely an
special experience and that's putting it mildly they don't call it America's game for nothing.
It is actually the oldest game in college football
Absolutely! The pagentry, ceremony and tradition is unrivaled! Plus you have possible mascot abductions, a game between two academies where the players are actually on the same team. Plus, the singing of the alma maters after the game is something to see.
The first game was between Rutgers and Uni of New Jersey aka Princeton. The oldest rivalry is Yale vs Princeton, so I’m not sure what you’re even talking about.
Go Dawgs! and Beat Army!
Army-Navy has been played 122 times. The longest continued rivalry is Lehigh-Lafayette (Played 158 times), but that's Football Championship Subdivision which is a lower level than division 1 - aka Football Bowl Subdivision. The longest played rivalry in the big school division is Minnesota-Wisconsin (Played 131 times).
Okay I stand corrected but you have to admit there's something about army Navy that truly makes it the game to watch that's why they put it last on the regular college football schedule
The first one you did was for Clemson University. The Rock is Howards Rock which is from Death Valley National Park in California. The importance is that the stadium is called Death Valley. Frank Howard was a coach in the 1940s. Someone brought him that rock and to motivate his players he told them unless they give 110% keep your damn hands off my rock. So it was added to the stadium and as the players run down the hill they rub the rock. They come off of busses because the locker rooms are on the other side of the stadium. So they are bussed around to run down the hill. That hill is no joke either....it levels off at one point which is where you see the players jump.
Clemson's entrance sucks lmao literally load up on busses to drive around the stadium to get on a hill to touch a rock lol always thought it was so dumb.
@@daltonwest9168 you mad bro? 😂
@@daltonwest9168 obviously you’ve never been to Clemson game. Don’t talk about something you don’t know about it makes you stupid
To add on to your point about why they run down the hill, the locker rooms used to be in Fike (which is now the student gym). It’s across the road from the top of the hill
@@91ATLbraves nah, it's just dumb lol
You mention how impressive the amount of fans in the stands. Two of the schools you saw are Clemson and South Carolina. Their two stadiums combined hold 160,000 people. The state of South Carolina has a population of just over 3 million. So if both teams are playing at home in front of sold-out crowds, that means that one out of every 20 living in the state are at those games! I live in the state and that stat still blows my mind!
You also saw University of Michigan with the largest stadium in the USA and has hosted crowds as high as 115,000
Plus South Carolina has never really been a great team. These fans still go nuts almost all the time.
Jereico, I never thought of it that way. *That IS a cool stat.* The only state (that I can think of off the top of my head) that competes would be Nebraska. Back when the Cornhuskers were relevant the state had 1.6 million and the stadium held 85,000. Mississippi might be similar to SC too.
South Carolina's 2001 entrance at night time is something you have to see in person. Simply amazing!
100% I LOVE IT SO MUCH
Florida State Seminoles have the best pregame/entrance tradition in college football. Chief Osceola on Renegade with the flaming spear while the entire stadium does the chop and the war chant with fireworks going off is above and beyond any other teams entrance. Fear the spear! Go Noles!!
One billion percent!!!! I was hoping someone would bring this up!
When FSU takes the field at home...it really makes you proud to be a Seminole. It's powerful to see in person
I go to Florida State, but I grew up a Florida fan and switched when I was 10 for that reason. Countless times I haves watched opposing fans getting caught up in the chop and doing it on accident
My mother was a Seminole. My Dad was a Hurricane. They agreed early on to be Dolphins fans to maintain domestic harmony, lol. I went to Appalachian State, so I'm a Mountaineer for life!
Never went to FSU, but I’d love to see a game in person. That and VT. Bucket list!!
@TK-dt4nk Do it brother. Osceola actually dismounts Renegade and pumps up the crowd against UF before planting the spear. Powerful stuff with the war drum beating in the background
Florida State University is the one responsible for that beautiful display of college football culture with the flaming spear. Everything from Chief Osceola riding Renegade into the center of the field, the war chant, the tomahawk chop, the fireworks at Doak Campbell Stadium, it’s all the best College Football has to offer. FSU BABYYYY!
You should experience it from the sidelines amongst the players. EPIC! Go Noles!
Lifelong University of South Carolina Gamecock fan here and have been going to games for 40 plus yrs. There is no better environment than a Saturday spent with 86,000 of your closest friends tailgating and watching your favorite team. You see it at colleges all across the country. We love our college football is an understatement.
This Clemson fan agrees with you.
@@treeherder2201 See you Sat. TH. Hoping for a good close game.
Enter Sandman. They didn't even show Enter Sandman. What a total failure and I'm an LSU fan
The older gentleman in the Nebraska clip is Tom Osborne, one of the greatest College Football coaches of all time. That was his "final entrance" onto the field. Tom Osborne's record from 1973-1997 was 255-49-3.
I'm a Virginia Tech (the second clip) graduate who was at that game (that you said you wish you could be in the middle of) my first year. That was unbelievable. I was in the middle of a wave of people. It was the coolest thing I have ever experienced.
Worth mentioning, when everyone is jumping, it shows on seismographs over at Derring on the other side of campus. It's LITERALLY shaking the earth! (also a VT grad, FYI)
@@davidfrench5407 Go Hokies!
LET'S GO....
@@PickpocketJones HOKIES!
The other popular clip with the Miami at VT game with enter sandman at the end. I was at that game as a Senior. It was so loud you couldn't even think!
10:36 is my College. On the horse is "Chief Osceola" the rider of the horse Renegade. It is a tradition for us Seminoles (Florida State University) to represent the powerful past that built us to what we are today, honor the Seminole tribe, and contribute to school spirit. GO NOLES!!!!
Go Noles!!!!
Same here! The entrance has evolved over time but it’s core is unchanged. Chief Osceola and Renegade, with the marching band, The Marching Chiefs (I participated in that while in school at FSU), are all incredible parts of the wonderful atmosphere of college football. Go Noles! And I agree with your explanation of the connection with the Seminole tribe which has allowed the school to continue using the Native American portrayals due to the partnership between them both.
@@hollyc4624 let’s go fellow chief member!
@@southdown9350 #mcatdt 😎 I’m doing one of the pep band men’s basketball games over the student holidays. Should be so much fun to do Chiefs activities again!
I got to see that at FSU, on the opposing end! UCF Marching Knights, fall of 1995, got to march in Doak. Definitely a highlight of my marching band experience.
The openings are also designed to intimidate an opponent, especially from a smaller school. The first clip was Clemson and they have huge signs saying "WELCOME TO DEATH VALLEY".
Tennessee vols are my favorite. I’m from Tennessee and I’ve been to games and the energy is unmatched with them having one of the biggest stadiums in the world!!!!! I’m proud to be a Vol!!!
I went to school at the University of Michigan, who is in your video at about the 5:25 mark. It's at the largest stadium in the United States and has around 110,000 people for every home game. The build up to the team running onto the field is amazing. I can feel my heart beating faster just telling you about it. GO BLUE!
You guys at Michigan might have the bigger stadium, but us Vols fans will have the bigger crowd at the stadium, when you factor in the tailgaiters in the parking lot, and the VOL-NAVY at Ft. Louden lake, we can add between 250k -300k more people to the 105k in the stadium for a home game. And all these folks are within a 1/2 mile or closer to the stadium itself. Knoxville becomes a ghostown on gamedays.
@@satricv I get your point, but that isn't really how stadium attendance works. No doubt the Vols show up big though.
I’m a college football nut. I try to do an “iconic” game every year. I was there to see you knock off ‘Bama. I will say this the best environments so far in no particular order Penn st whiteout, Tenn for that game and LSU at night stand above the rest. Sorry to hear about your qb but I wish you well next year.
I'm a UM alum and currently an usher at the stadium. Fortunate enough to attend pretty much every home game while a student and (for the last 7 years) as an usher. I love how in awe people are, the very first time they see the bowl of the big house Go blue!
And the entire CFB world saw the fandom of the Pig House in a game against Illinois that their entire seasons hopes relied upon...and Illinois BEAT Michigan!! Except , Illinois could NOT beat the REFERREES!! Which is soooo typical of the Networks and Big Ten Front Office....THEY wanted the refs to throw the game so the UMmers could still be ranked #3 to play in the least interesting rivalry in college football against the other cheaters from the Big 10..anOSU. THAT is why when the Chicago mob isn't calling the game, anOSu and UM get their asses handed to them!!1 Because they NEVER earn their ranking!!
Michigan fans don't even support their team...especially the students...they are as bad as those poison chestnuts in Ohio
I go to Virginia Tech, the second school in the video. The stone that players tap is called Hokie Stone and is the type of limestone that lines almost every building on campus. On either side of the stone, there are plaques that say "For those who have passed, for those to come." and "Reach for excellence." This video definitely does the entrance no justice!
To help understand the nebraska entrance around 8:30 former head coach Tom Osborne had just announced his retirement from being the athletic director, while head coach at nebraska he won 3 national titles, went 60 and 3 over his last 5 seasons, had 255 wins to 49 loses over a 25 year career, was an assistant before taking over as head coach and won 2 national titles then. After retiring as a head coach he became a representative for the state in the US house of representative, then came back and was athletic director for 6 years.
Lol I saw bo Pelini and I thought it was their 2011 tea
😂 I was so confused
@@danflick6669 2013 team
@@ettibbet5493 what about em
@@danflick6669 that's what team it was
@@ettibbet5493 the clip was from 2013?
I played D2 football at a small school and even we had a musket over the tunnel door that we tapped. It has been there for 50 years. It is a way to tie your team with teams that came before and remind you of the heritage of your program. I touched the musket like teams before me and teams after me touched.
Osceola was a leader of the Seminole tribe, the burning spear planted in the earth has special cultural and historical significance. It's my favorite entrance ritual.
The Tunnel Walk at Nebraska is something special. Even as a visiting fan I felt chills.
I am not a Penn state fan but I’ve got to give it to them, their white out game entrance from recent years is unmatched
I love the Tennessee entrance with the power T, GBO! But I acknowledge that the Enter Sandman entrance at Virginia Tech is pretty awesome.
Some of the best memories you will have will be from your time at college.
For sure mate, it must have been a special time
One of the stadiums you saw was the University of Michigan's "The Big House". The stadium can fill 108k people.
That is honestly mind blowing. The amazing thing is it looks full too. Such a great support for a college team
@@mertsalih what I tell brits think of your college team like your local Football (soccer). If you are let's a say Burnley FC fan, that's your ride or die team. NFL think of it like Champions league... you know your club may not play there I'm your life time but it can be fun to root for AC Milan or Real Madrid. Remember Geographically the United States is Huge. There are 50 states and 32 NFL teams. College Football is generally more local to us and the league is older.
@@mertsalih The attendance record at The Big House is 115,109 people. I have been to several games in that stadium and it's always packed full of fans.
Hail to Victors!
GO BLUE
The Gamecocks are named after South Carolina native Thomas Sumpter who the British nicknamed the fighting gamecock for his tenacity in battle during the Revolutionary War. 2001 is cool, but when they play sandstorm, at night, the scene is absolutely insane. Go check out the new light show vs A&M or Tennessee.
Also, make no mistake, South Carolina Gamecocks shall never be referred to as USC
@@hellasketch6523 That’s right, it’s always to be referred to as THE USC.
@@jonp3890 lmao ahhh thx for the laugh. Made my day
Love your reactions. College football is the best sport in the world to me. I’m a lifelong Georgia Bulldog. We are reigning National Champs, and current undefeated #1 Team in all of college football. Go Dawgs! Keep ‘em coming!
Ohio State lurking
Yep, seems like Dawgs are the team to beat this year.
Ohio state v Georgia I’m excited for that one
See you soon! #geauxtigers #bayoubengals #SECWestChampions
@@sargentthiccboi9333 if OSU handles Michigan tomorrow I think Georgia-Ohio State in the title game is a safe bet.
I wish you would have covered the LSU entrance about 15 years ago when they actually brought Mike the tiger out and rode him around the field with the cheerleaders sitting on top with the tiger roaring, ultimately parking the cage on the visitor side of the field so the opposing team come out to a roaring tiger in their face, that’s the LSU I miss, and that was fucking intense!!!!!
It's always awesome to see a European experiencing and enjoying our college sports culture. Thanks for posting!
OK, this is great and I’m so glad you included my team , Tennessee, but you need to watch a more current entrance with the new firework displays they are doing now. Especially during a “Checker Neyland” game. This past season it was done for the Tennessee-Florida game. It’s amazing to see the stadium all blocked out in orange and white. Go Vols!
In the US the bulk of sports pride is born in smaller community teams. Across these communities support combines to define an area, region or even a state. Professional teams are of interest sure, but they are not often local to most people who can't really ever go see them in person. College sports in America is recognition that all 50 states have amazing sport-loving fans, fans that love their home teams. And we rock out with them, for better or worse. Thank you Mert. You are British, but you're also clearly Scottish so I appreciate your appreciation, even more.
They didn't do South Carolina justice with that short clip. It's the home of Sandstorm (by Darude) and the whole stadium goes absolutely insane. Plus they beat three of the teams--Texas A&M, Tennessee, and Clemson-- in this video just this season. After the Tennessee game they let 70,000 fans pour onto the field and mob the players and it was an absolutely incredible scene.
As a football athlete there’s nothing better then hearing a full crowd of ppl cheering for u from start to end it really gets u going
i forgot turkeys are only found in the states lol they aren't dressed as chickens, those are turkeys. A large bird we typically eat for Thanksgiving which is a huge holiday that always falls on the last Thursday of November
Every team has a sign or something they touch before heading on to the field. Some may say "Play like a champion today" or "Leave it all out there on the field". It just kind of helps to bring unity and to kind of get them into the mental state they need to go out there and perform.
I just want to say that Oklahoma started the "Play Like a Champion" thing, and Lou Holtz stole it for Notre Dame
The best UK-based analogue I can come up with is the “This is Anfield” sign Liverpool has.
@6:50 is the greatest entrance in any sport according to ESPN, while the best band plays the greatest Fight Song according to Sports Illustrated; in front of the largest football stadium over 100,000 crazed fans. This team has the most wins in history by far.
The high school I work at as a coach has a dope entrance for our varsity football team. The student section has a stairway going down behind the bleachers, and our team runs up those stairs, through the student section, and down to the field. The combination of that, the music, and the smoke machines make for honestly the best entrance I’ve seen in High School Football.
That sounds awesome man. Sounds like you enjoy what you do! I'm definitely envious lol
2 games you have to check out. Penn State’s white out game, and Army- Navy! Both those atmospheres are crazy!!!!
You should check out Jump Around at the Wisconsin Badgers Stadium. They blast Jump Around by House of Pain and 80,000 fans jump up and down and the whole stadium shakes. It’s awesome.
the first time they did it, they though the stadium would collapse
Great reaction! Yes, College games/fans are absolutely insane! ❤️
Thanks! Yeah they look amazing. Would love to go one day
Go Irish ☘️!!
I love Notre Dame, but my personal favorite entrance is probably Florida State Seminoles at night. A complete hype factory.
There are some awesome historical entrances you should look up too. Notre Dame fighting Irish and southern Cal Trojans are huge rivals. During a big matchup in the 70s, the ND student body built and actual 20ft tall Trojan horse and rolled it out on the field and the team captains popped out of it.. Before my time, but my father said it was ludicrous and the place erupted.
Cheers!
You didn’t even get to see the best part of the Miami Hurricanes entrance. When the buses roll up, the fans and the team inside get the buses literally rocking. That and the entrance looks better from far away with the smoke.
Love seeing an outsider perspective on this. It’s pretty bizarre!! College sports are so big here bc the country is so big and not every state has professional teams. The tradition also goes back a long time. There’s a different level of passion between college and pro sports.
In their country, pretty much every neighborhood has a team. In bigger cities like London, you can have rivals 5 miles away, both with 60,000+ stadiums. It's like Michigan and OSU being 5 miles away from each other.
The school with the Native American mascot, "Chief Osceola" riding "Renegade" is Florida State University where I went to school. The team is named, "Seminoles" after the Seminole Tribe of Florida. One of the best places in the country to see a football game. Other teams have tried to replicate the FSU War Chant but make no mistake, it's a Florida State original. FSU also has the largest marching band in the nation and the School of Music composes much of the music for the band.
Florida State enjoys a close partnership with the Seminole Tribe of Florida who approves the mascot costumes and images.
This is so humbling to see people overseas in complete awe at the atmosphere of college here. Trust me bro. There is a lot more to see. 😁 you gained a sub!
Rubbing the rock is a huge tradition at Clemson. It’s a rock from the Death Valley that Clemson was named after. Our head coach at the time was gifted it and now we call it Howard’s rock 🪨
It’s funny because from an american prospective i’ve always thought the premier league had the best atmosphere in sports. I love the songs they sing for players and how everyone participates as well. Like this year when the Arsenal fans just came up with the Saliba chant that was amazing !
Georgia Bulldog fan here and I love the passion, pageantry and tradition of college football. Every school is different but whatever is the tradition at your school, it can stir your soul as long as you breathe here on earth. The tailgates are indescribable. If you get a chance to make a trip over, you’re welcome in Athens, GA on a Gameday. You’ll never want to leave. 😊 GO DAWGS!
GoDawgs!
I went to Kyle Field for Texas A&M last month. Over 100,000 people going nuts in the that stadium was insane and deafening! It boggles my mind that it’s not even the biggest stadium, that goes to “The Big House” for Michigan
btho miami
"In the South, College Football is a Religion, its Stadiums are Shrines and Saturdays are Holy Days", Paul "Bear" Bryant..
Alabama head coach and winningest Div 1 Football coach... Ever..
If you think that’s crazy, watch a team as they play a hated rival and are winning or it be a close score. Depending on the team and the fan base and most importantly, the location. The energy and noise can be tremendous. Again depending on how their team is doing the fans can keep that energy up and it can affect the team as well. It’s hard to explain, but you can you can feel it, even if you’re watching on tv at home, but there is nothing like being there in the mix. It’s quite an experience. College football has so many traditions and stories that go back generations. Perhaps some of the fans in the stands went to those schools, maybe generations of families went there, who knows? But one thing is for certain, there is passion that’s why I love it so much and I look forward to the fall every year.
I just graduated from Virginia Tech (second clip) and I can assure you that the entrance is one of, if not the best college football entrance in all of football.
They play “Gods Gonna Cut You Down” by Johnny Cash, turn that off then all 66,000+ people chant “Let’s Go” and “Hokies” (we are the Virginia Tech Hokies), then they play Enter Sandman by Metallica. As they play that it’s tradition to start jumping. We have registered a decent amount of seismic activity with our jumping.
As the players run in they hit the “Hokie Stone” which is a special limestone that is only found in 2 quarries in the world in that area of the state of Virginia. Virginia Tech football games are 100% my favorite thing in the world and I will never not get goosebumps when I see it. I encourage everyone to try and go to one game, it’s an unforgettable experience.
You should check out college football traditions that’s what college football is all about
That is a good idea Josh, will make a video about it soon
And the Rivalries (derbies)
@@riccorich very true I didn’t even think about that
@@mertsalih Rivalries- Texas vs Oklahoma, Michigan vs Ohio State, SEC vs Everybody
@@mertsalih I know you saw the Iowa Hawkeyes wave but there is a segment from ESPN that is worth checking out it’s heartwarming and transcends any rivalry or anything about the game it’s about taking time to respect and honor those courageous kids at that hospital
What I love about the college football atmosphere the fans have a direct impact on the game. When the visiting team comes out on offense the fans get loud and interfere with the team's ability to communicate, call plays, and just snap the ball on time.
Oh man, you didn't show Chief Osceola (Native American on the horse) having the horse rear up on its hind legs and throwing the burning spear into the ground. Greatest pregame ritual in all of college football. The golden eagle circling inside the stadium at Auburn is pretty awesome too.
I agree. Both traditions are awesome.
My cousin was the Chief who started the rearing up thing . . . but he hit the sprinkler head one time and the spear just fell over. I was on the filed as a trainer for 10 of these. Chills!
Gotta show the spear plant
I was in Lane Stadium for Virginia Tech's game against Boston College earlier this year. The energy at the beginning of that game was absolutely electric and it was a great experience, except for the standing. Everyone was standing constantly, we had seats but no one was sitting down so if you wanted to watch the game you had to stand with everyone else, which can get tiresome after several hours.
I honestly love how happy this made you. It was fun to watch. That being said, I do find your take on it very interesting. I tend to watch English futbol crowd chants and think "damn we have nothing like this in America". I could say the same for britwres crowds
This is so cool seeing someone experience college football for the first time. Growing up in the South it’s just a part of life. Dope video
What should be stressed is that this occurs in dozens and dozens and dozens of college stadiums across the country every Saturday from September thru November. Also, these days any loss can be devastating to a team’s chance to win their conference and national title! The games really matter. Plus, unlike pro spirts, the college rosters flip over every year or so. We cheer for the team and the player!
In the 80's my favorite college team, LSU had fans that cheered so loud it registered as an earthquake. Geaux Tigers Fans!!
You should definitely check out the Halloween entrance from Tennessee Vols Vs Kentucky Wildcats a few weeks ago. They blacked out the stadium with orange and black and it was amazing to be there!
If there was orange, how was it a black out??
@@franklinterrell9392 blacked out with orange and black as opposed to orange and white the normal school colors.
That reminds me that he needs to see what places are doing with LED lights now. UGA does some nuts stuff with Krypton at the beginning of the fourth quarter. It does help when we get to play an actual home night game.
dick vermeil , who is one of the best football coaches of all time . he was coaching college ball at ucla when he got hired the philadelphia eagles of the nfl and the he retired . he got back into coaching again after being a broadcaster of college football . he said that it was the passion he experienced that brought back the desire to resume coaching
Man, if you want to see the crowd after a win, you should react to the best field stormings that they do after their team wins a big game! PSC highlights did a good video of college football best "rushing the field" moments of 2021
this is awesome, mate. Love to see it from our cross-pond cousins. I got goosebumps when you said you were getting goosebumps. There's 336m Yanks who would jump at the chance to take you to a game to experience things first hand.
As a Florida State University alumni and fan, it stinks that they missed the big crowd interaction with Renegade in the source video. Still cool overall, collegiate football is great!
Totally agree! I’m also FSU Alum. Go Noles, let’s beat Florida!!
Texas Tech Red Raiders and the Masked Rider leading the team onto the field. IMO one of the the best entrances in college football.
I concur, getting there early to see the band march in is worth it. Jones stadium gets lit up, especially when the Red Raiders are doing great and have a top competitor visiting.
As a boy scout, I ushered games there for a short time in the 1980s. We got in for free if we helped out until 5 minutes into the 1st quarter.
I have to go back sometime soon....
I retired from a University that is in the US Southeastern Conference. I still work the games as a communications specialist. The energy at player entrance and kick-off is so intense. You can feel your heart race with the music and the players.
"Fan" is short for "Fanatic" and that explains my love for my team at every home game, win or lose.
You are so cute! I love the way you call everything in soccer terms (like “pitch” and “match”). I also think it’s awfully nice of you to call it soccer, so we who call your “football” “soccer” get the distinction right off. Don’t ever change!
There are numerous College Football stadiums that can hold over 100,000 fans. Schools spend hundreds of millions of dollars on these stadiums
Thank you for reacting to college football videos. As an american who enjoys soccer (football), I often see soccer fans say USA has the worst fans in the world. I'm not going to sit here and say they are the best, I know how big the passion is for soccer. But most people think of NFL fans when they compare, and we are way more passionate about college sports than professional sports. It's just awesome to see someone enjoy a different culture of sports, instead of just hating. (college basketball crowd reactions are cool too if you are curious)
Thanks Richard, I appreciate the comment. For sure mate, I agree with you. I think the problem is a lot of the comparison videos online don't show American fans at their best. I have seen great American fans in all sports (especially college football) and I love the enthusiasm and passion Americans have. I just love sports so I appreciate other fans of all sports. Will definitely check out College Basketball too.
It’s really just the fans on the East and West coast that suck besides Seattle. The mid west and south support all our sports teams pro or college to the fullest.
@@cjboyer4355 - New York and San Francisco also has higher intellect than the midwest, and especially the south. Don't believe me, see: Civil War of the 19th century.
@@juicyfartsofjimcornette1154 you’ll have to explain your civil war comment because I’m from Kansas and we fought for the north just like many other Midwestern states. As far as intellect goes that’s far from the truth lol you just have more people on the coasts.
@@juicyfartsofjimcornette1154 Also are you saying to be a sports fan you have to be dumb?
I went to Virginia Tech, I definitely got goosebumps watching our entrance!
American Football players are Gladiators so they get a Gladiators entrance.
Yes mate, that is so true. It really is a gladiators entrance
some of the larger/more successful colleges actually have larger football stadiums then the NFL teams. It's insane how many people come out for college football, but its so much fun!!!
Barry Sanders man, Barry Sanders
You have to check out the Texas vs Oklahoma Rivalry game. The stadium is split between fans. One all wearing Red the other all wearing Orange. They also play the game during the Texas State Fair, so on the outside its loads of food, drinks, games, etc. and on the inside there's a war going on XD
Don’t forget, the student section sits next to those players in class every week. Can’t match that level of connection.
It’s even more crazy when your at the game. It’s breathtaking
A lot of the passion stems from the fact that American football was a college game first, dating all the way back to 1869, although the “modern era” isn’t thought to have begun until the end of Ivy League dominance sometime during the 1920s and ‘30s (though others say the era began in the ‘50s)
If you wanna take a deep dive, check out some of the rivalries that go back almost as far as the game itself - Auburn/Alabama, Ohio State/Michigan, Oregon/Oregon State, North Carolina/Virginia, Minnesota/Wisconsin, Cal/Stanford, Georgia/Florida, USC/UCLA, Texas/Oklahoma, and most importantly Army/Navy are just a few of the century-long rivalries that make the game special
Thanks for the intersting read, glad i clicked read more. Beat Navy!
Hey Mert, I’m a member of the Marching Band at Arkansas. We make a giant A and march up and down the field before the team comes out, when they do come out onto the field they run through the A and this year there are pyrotechnics and all sort of hype factors. I get an adrenaline rush every single time we make the A. You should check the Arkansas Razorbacks pregame out
I live 20 mins outside of one of our country’s best college football teams. Memorabilia is sold in stores all around town, including large stores like target. On game days people of every age wear t-shirts, hats, sweaters etc all over town. It’s big for the college students and for the rest of the city too.
Yeah... college football games are an experience you definitely need to experience. Watching videos give it no justice at all. The vibe, culture and excitement is intense.
You should plan a trip next year... go to Ohio State or Michigan, Nebraska, Alabama, the University of Texas in Austin, Oklahoma, Penn State, Wisconsin, Clemson, Auburn...all good fan bases that sell out stadiums of 70 to 100 thousand people...the atmosphere is electric and you'll meet the best people.
Fun Fact: The student section of texas a&m (the last team you saw with the POV angle) doesnt have any seats in the student section. Its a tradition for all students (including the band) to stand for the entire game and be as loud as they can. The fans of A&M are called the "12th Man" because they are so loud during the games that it is like they have an extra player on the field. They pack the stands every week even if it will be a blowout or if it is the game of the year. A&M have the best and most passionate fans in college football by far.
They didn't show what happens. When Chief Osceola rides in on renegade he plants the spear in the middle of the field. When we play our rivals he walks out.
That's what I said!!! I got to see it about 10 times from the sidelines as a trainer. EPIC!
Love the video & openness to our culture of American Football!
you should check out the tennessee entrance against alabama from this year, one of the most insane ive ever seen, and they had special all black jerseys that were badass too
I am a huge Nebraska fan and just a fun fact for you. When Nebraska plays at home at Memorial Stadium it becomes the 3rd largest city in the State of Nebraska at 90K. It is a amazing place to be on Saturdays in the Fall.
you gotts see the most electric moment in college football video Penn State vs Michigan where the crowd is so loud Michigan cant get a play off. Guratneed goosebumps
The first clip is Clemson University. The entrance is known as “The most Exciting 25 Seconds in College Football”. The players/coaches exit the locker room on the west side of the stadium, get on the buses, & ride to the east side of the stadium. They gather at the top of “The Hill”. The fans on the hill are students (the hill is the student seating). Before running down The Hill, you rub Howard’s Rock. The stadium is known as Death Valley, & the rock came from Death Valley, California. It was given to then Coach Frank Howard in the early 60s. It was actually used as a door jam for years before Coach Howard told an assistant coach to do something with it. That Coach put it on a pedestal & had the players rub it for luck. Clemson wound up winning that game (9/24/66), & a tradition was born. Coach Howard is known for telling players, “if you aren’t going to give 110%, keep your filthy hands off my rock”.
As legend has it the horseshoe was found on the Nebraska Field after Nebraska defeated Notre Dame in 1922. The following year, when Nebraska played Notre Dame all the players touched it before the game. Nebraska won the game and from then on we’ve used the horseshoe as a bit of good luck prior to kickoff.
I’m a senior at Florida State University (FSU). We’re the Seminoles and our mascot is Chief Osceola and Renegade (the horse). At the start of every home game they charge to the middle of the field and plant the flaming spear. It’s an actual Seminole tradition for declaring war.
The school actually has an official relationship with the Seminole tribe of Florida… it’s not a cultural appropriation thing.
I'm a fan of the Oklahoma Sooners and we have some pretty damn good fans. It's electrifying to be apart of a college football game and I highly recommend that you attend one.
Personally I would recommend the Red River Rivalry in Dallas, TX between Oklahoma and Texas. The state fair and a jam packed 50/50 stadium is something completely unique.
It starts in high school. Every team has a sign or object that represents what they believe, and work for. You touch it or slap it on the way to the match to connect with it. It’s a tradition here in Texas
The Michigan team with Maize n Blue uniforms has 110,000 fans plus a game
Lol that first one is Clemson, South Carolina. Population 18k. The stadium holds at least 85k.
I'm from Louisiana and we got 105k stadium. Death Valley.
Sister went to the university of south Carolina in Columbia (pop 137k) and their opening to Space Odyssey is amazing with 80k fans.
Texas A&M is famous for their Midnight Yell Practice, where they come to the stadium the night before the game to practice the cheers. They don't have female cheerleader, they have male Yell Leaders (dating from the time they were an all-male school). A bit weird their rivalry songs are for a school they no longer play (University of Texas) but it's definitely something interesting to watch. The fans don't sit during the game, an homage to the "12th man", their willingness to volunteer to get on the field should the team need them. Every college program has strong stories and traditions, and its great to learn about them.
As a Nebraska fan, I have to admit Clemson does seem to be one of the best. If you get to the States, a Saturday night game at any big school in the southeastern part of the country will be pretty mind blowing.
