Got to fooling around on youtube tonight and started thinking about all of the great, recognizable sports traditions, both college and pro. I'm talking about things that any real sports enthusiast would recognize. Two of my favorites are from CBS. Probably my favorite is their closing out every NCAA Tournament with the "One Shining Moment" montage. Also, their intro to the Masters with the smooth voice of Jim Nance announcing "A tradition like no other". For us race fans, although the event has lost some of its appeal over the last few years, the playing and singing of "Back Home Again in Indiana" prior the the start of the Indy 500. Give me some more good ones.
Great sports traditions.

you know, the ncaa basketball tournament, masters and indy 500 are all great traditional events. add to that the singing of "my old kentucky home" before the kentucky derby, i also have always loved nfl films (ramblin man from gramblin is a favorite), and also dotting the i at ohio state.

than OU at this. I remember a couple of years ago, I think OU was playing West Virginia in some bowl and I honestly believe that Boomer Sooner was played the entire game without a single break except for half time. I ended up just changing the channel. It was so terrible.
It's a pretty longstanding tradition that is, at least in college football, completely unique to MSU. The reason it probably doesn't garner more attention nationally is because of the SEC imposed ban and the general suckitude of our football program throughout the years.

A bloody mary in hand while pinching off a loaf in the bushes at the Grove. A tradition like no other.
Scared the hell out of me at the time, cause I didn't know it was coming, but I was one of the poor saps STILL in the State section @ Florida back in '01 (I think)... It was either start of the second half or possibly even the start of the 3rd quarter and the whole f'n stadium stood up, locked arms, and started some chant while swaying side to side. That was our signal to leave, but it was quite impressive to see the entire stadium working together as one.
...just for shtis and giggles, does anybody know what in the world is it that they are doing?

And what's the rather involved little routine that BYU does during games? i know they did it everytime they scored, maybe more...
It was my first time to sit up in the new upperdeck when BYU rolled into town that year undefeated (must've been 02?)
We gave them a pretty good game, but everytime they did something good, they had some cheesy little chant they did. I couldn't understand what they were saying but as I was in the upperdeck, I was surrounded by them. They mocked my cowbell with their stadium cups of ice, so I would return the favor and mocked their little skit when we got a sack or whatever minute thing we might have done to our benefit. It was all in fun, but for the life of me, don't have a clue what they were saying.
