College Athletic Traditions
 

I'm bored and have been surfing YouTube when I stumbled on this:

I always LOVED doing the William Tell Overture at football and basketball games at school. I remember the first time I did it (at Chief Illiniwek's last game!) and being like WHAT IS HAPPENING!!?? But it was so fun! Seeing the video put a big smile on my face :)

I then started looking at related videos and found some other REALLY cool traditions (particularly involving some sort of dance, song, action, etc. that EVERYONE knows).

Here's another two I found that I really liked:

Wisconsin's Jump Around

I just love hearing how crazy the crowd goes within seconds of the song starting

A high school one, but still pretty cool - "Parting the Red Sea"

What were some of the fun traditions that your schools' fans did at games? (I'm not necessarily talking about a halftime performance or anything like that--everyone has something like that.) Post videos if you have them!

Kissing your date (or if you're not shy, the person next to you) after a touchdown. - Texas A&M

Gator Tradition
 

At the end of the 3rd quarter, all Gator fans link arms and sway while singing, "We are the Boys from Ole Florida". Pretty impressive - at least from a Gator standpoint.

Union College in Schenectady, NY has a tradition that they shoot off this old cannon when they touchdown in football. I was there at homecoming visiting a friend and we were at a picnic game next to the football field. My friend did NOT tell me about teh cannon. I ended up under the table the first touchdown.

The IU flags! (This is done at the under 8 min timeout in the second half of basketball games):
