You guys posting traditions need to let people know what schools these are...The bucket is a cool trophy i guess, but its indiana-purdue...Also, UF is not a school that comes to mind when I think "tradition."

Watch this, then thank God you get to tailgate in the South.

Michigan-OSU pregame

That looks absolutely miserable. Nice of everyone to dress up for the game.

It isn't tradition to dress up at OSU for those games or really any games, unless you count wearing all of your team regalia dressing up. Our traditions are different then yours. And no, it is not miserable..well...maybe miserably cold by then (OSU vs. M!ch%gan. ) Tailgating up here is obviously different then in the South. We do it our way, you do it your way.

Well, I mean if you like it your way than by all means go for it. Just looks kind of dreary to me, and I view tailgating as more than 5 people around a case of beer. Different strokes.

That video showed mostly how things used to look on Lane Avenue on campus. Once you get closer to the 'Shoe, it is more than the cases of beer (and since there is a campus/city law in place now that restricts open cases and such, you don't see much of the empty cases of beer) and more about the football. On game day, especially this year, you can barely walk there are so many people!! I would like to experience tailgating in the South. It sounds like it is totally different then up here.

It is quite different, you are right. I always viewed dressing up for games in the South as a sign of respect towards the team that you are playing, whether it is a home or away game. Obvously, Texas is a little different than the deep South in that we don't generally wear ties and such, but khakis/boots and jeans with a button down is pretty standard. Sportcoat or Blazer when it starts getting cold.
Our actualy tailgating is usually at the fraternity houses. All of the parents and prominent alumni are there with plenty of open bars and excellent food.

I never thought of the dressing up part from the point of view you explained it as. I thought you dressed up to dress up. Interesting stuff!

I think sometimes it has to do with bringing dates as well...you obviously dress in coat and tie if you're a pledge, and unless I went without a date I generally wore a tie to games. For some people I realize that'd be weird, but I'm generally as comfortable with a shirt and tie on as I am in jeans and a tshirt. Granted, I blow out about 3-4 brooks brothers ties in a season, but thats the price you pay for wearing them while drinking all day.

Just like you would think it was weird seeing how many strands of poisonous nuts (buckeyes) one can wear around their neck? lol.

It all kind of depends on how you want (and how old you are) to consider "traditions."

If they are things you have experienced at school, they may be pretty recent -- depending, of course upon when you were an undergraduate.

When I was in school, most students -- but especially Greeks -- dressed for football games. That generally included at least sweaters and ties for the men, but more often sport coats, etc. and at least sweaters and skirts for the women. Most fraternal organizations sat together as a group with their dates, pinmates, etc. with a banner of some sort displayed in the stadium.

It was that way at Ohio and certainly was the same at Ohio State and other schools in the region.

That's a tradition I hated to see change.
