Interesting topic from Reddit's college football forum. What is the one thing your teams fans do that you absolute hate? For me it's easy. PLEASE stop screaming "WHAT WHAT!?" in the middle of the damn fight song after we spell out "Florida State". It's so dumb. Please, just please stop for the love of all that is good in this world. You are not a thug, and it does not make you sound like a thug. Note that you only really hear this in the student section.

I can't stand OU fans doing the inverted hook 'em when not playing texas. It's sad

[Schmitty]

The worst is when students get the timing wrong during the Alma mater. There is a 4 beat rest you idiots.

The worst is:

"Land of the free...

And the home... Of the...

SOOOOOONERRRS!!!!!"

I'm not terribly patriotic, but for some reason this makes my blood boil.

[Meier]

That may be the worst explanation by a coach I've ever seen. What in the world is he even trying to say here?

I actually agree with the OBC here. Suspending a guy due to anything related to alcohol other than being caught for drunk driving is pretty silly. It sounds like he just had some in his system?

This kind of thing is hard to do in a stadium though. At Doak, you can tell that different sections of the stands are hearing the drum beat for the war chant at different times, due to the speed of sound. Everybody syncs up pretty quick, but initially the south side (where the band is) is a bit ahead of the north side because they are hearing the music sooner.

Yeah it's dumb and even the administration has tried to get them to stop. Guess since I don't see the anthem on TV it's not something I'm constantly aware of

Yeah, I kind of hate our national anthem, but I can't stand it when people fuck around during it.

I don't think I've ever seen it happen in this neck of the woods, though.

[KingGondo]

Yeah, when I'm on my way to Stillwater listening to OU's game, they always play it. It's one thing to fuck around with "the rockets' red glare," or whatever, but they're shouting over the one part of the anthem that is meant to pay specific tribute to combat veterans.

It's a "tradition" at this point, mainly perpetuated by the trailer park types (that is to say, every OU fan who isn't an alum).

...

One OSU "tradition" I hate: the OSU band plays "Friends in Low Places" in the fourth quarter and expects the stadium to sing along, and nobody does. It's just lame.

[Sirpopopop]

Yelling "EAGLES First Down, BITCH!" it's for Freshmen and the immature.

Yes, that's exactly why...

Texas fans have a couple things I could do with out.

"Make them eat shit" during the fight song is the thing I hate the most.

I also didn't like the "joke" version of spelling out Texas during March Grandioso. Though, I think it's more or less dead at this point since biting cultural references such as "Easy E" and "Malcom X" aren't really relevent anymore.

Other than that: Stop selling students tickets in the upper deck. They all sneak down and overcrowd the lower deck seating for students.. making it look as though 4-5 sections are empty in the upper deck.

[bucknuticus]

@SDS: Duron Carter dismissed from practice at FAU for lack of effort while his dad Cris Carter watched.

Lol this kid, what a fuck up and wasted talent.

[LosDaddie]

Fall practice starts today for FSU. I'm just hoping for no serious injuries.

Is that new? I don't remember hearing that, but I graduated in '05 and haven't been to a game since '07.

Fucking disgrace

The Wave. Telling people to sit down / be quiet

goddamnit this Went to the Spring Game in 2010 motherfuckers would NOT stop attempting waves

You are horrible people, and you should feel bad.

Honestly, March Grandioso is played waaaaay too much, and too long. I do it for the first two verses, but then they keep playing it for another 5. And they do it three or four more times in a game. I hate that song.

I prefer "Make 'em eat shit" to "Go horns, go". The words are already messed up if you say that. It should be "The gang's all here"

[Lonestar]

I don't want to lol, but lol indeed.

I knew he was pretty much gone from Alabama, but not sure I ever heard definite proof. But to see him already dismissed (from a practice) at FAU. Wow.

It used to be the "Hail, Hail the gangs all here"

But they relented to student changes back in the 70s and changed the words of the first part to "give em hell, give em hell". Necessitating a stupid second verse.

We should just change it back.

There's a awkward pause in the middle of one of our fight songs (Buckeye Battle Cry) where nobody knows exactly what to say.

The official lyrics are "C'mon, Ohio!" but nobody, save the band, actually says it because the pause is so brief, and most just say "O-HI-O!" instead.

It's weird.

[ChiTownBuffalo]

I wish my alma mater had a cheer other than "Fuck 'em up, fuck 'em up Go CU!!"

Hey we do that in our fight song! Well in across the field.

That's because come on ohio doesnt seem to fit in that break, you have to say it super fast. I just go with Ohio.

[andycapps]

Holding up 4 fingers at the beginning of the 4th quarter. As far as I'm concerned, you've only earned the right to hold up 4 fingers after you've destroyed the other team in the 4th. I know everybody does this, but it doesn't mean anything.

[BertramCooper]

Buckeye Battle Cry is still a great fight song, though. Much better than Across the Field.

I think it started as a way to remind players to "finish" in the 4th even with a big lead.. i.e. don't sleep on an opponent.

I think it's lost all meaning.

Texas State has a weird tradition where the students all jangle their keys in the 4th quarter. No one could tell me why. Or at least not consistently. One student said it's to make fun of alumni who leave during the 4th quarter (get your keys out), another said it was a reminder *not* to leave early. This was like 10 years ago, I have no idea if it is still a tradition or not. Considering the student section there was like 50 people, it might have just been a group of friends who decided to do it.

Semi-relevent now that they are in the bowl subdivision now.

[ConfusingJazz]

ESPN just released their CFB announcer pairings: http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-re...r-assignments/

More importantly, the lack of Craig James.

Key waving at Texas State

Er, we do it, that's why they do it. And we're supposed to do it when we're kneeing the ball, not with 10 minutes left in the fourth.

Colorado does this for "key" plays.

It's like 5 seconds of drunken key jangling, followed by 15 seconds of drunken dropped key retrieval.

On occasion.

[Yaboosh]

You are supposed to shake your keys to tell the opposing team to go home because they are certainly going to lose. Usually after a td that clinches the game.

[Meier]

Fucking disgrace

Same exact time frame for me. :( I just can't afford to fly to Tallahassee during the season and then fly to Orlando for Christmas some months later. It was so awesome getting to go to the Champs' Bowl last year.. worked out perfectly since I was at home for Christmas already.

Pfft, that's nothing. Here is FSU's entire fight song

You got to fight, fight, fight, for FSU! You got to scalp 'em Seminoles! You got to win, win, win, win this game, and roll on down and make those goals! For FSU is on the warpath now, And when the battle ends she's great! So fight, fight, fight for victory!, The Seminoles of Florida State! F-L-O-R-I-D-A S-T-A-T-E Florida State, Florida State, Florida State! Woooooooooooooooo!

You will be hard pressed to find more than 10% of the student section that knows more than just:

The Seminoles of Florida State! F-L-O-R-I-D-A S-T-A-T-E Florida State, Florida State, Florida State! Woooooooooooooooo!

This. Except too many FSU fans do it going into every 4th quarter regardless of the score. I've seen it done with only 3 points separating the teams, with tie scores, and I have even seen some real idiots doing it when we are losing going into the 4th. They clearly don't know why they are doing it and must think that you are supposed to do it every time just for fun or something. Idiots.

Personally, my threshold is two touchdowns minimum, but not always if I think it is still a close game. I'll almost always do it if it's 17+ points.

[ConfusingJazz]

Er, we do it, that's why they do it. And we're supposed to do it when we're kneeing the ball, not with 10 minutes left in the fourth.

Ok, so its kinda funny when we do it in the second quarter and we're up by 40 on someone already.

HOWEVER! Don't do it in the fourth when its a tie or close game! Do it when you are kneeling!

[Monroeski]

Texas fans have a couple things I could do with out. "Make them eat shit" during the fight song is the thing I hate the most.

A while back Tech students, during the part of the fight song that says "we will hit 'em we will wreck 'em hit 'em wreck 'em Texas Tech," started yelling "we will hit 'em we will wreck 'em we will fucking kick their ass!" I could do without that.

One OSU "tradition" I hate: the OSU band plays "Friends in Low Places" in the fourth quarter and expects the stadium to sing along, and nobody does. It's just lame.

If I had to pick one OSU "tradition" I hate it's the one where they stole our Guns Up. Makes me want to punch a baby.

yeah, after going undefeated since late January and obliterating Minnesota in the semis 6-1. Nobody was stopping last year's team after the Beanpot, they were an absolute juggernaut.

Anyway, back to our shameful football program. You'll be hard pressed to find anyone here that actually goes to the games for the football. We go just to go. That loss to Duke was disgusting. Another brilliant moment from last year that sticks in my memory is spaz deciding to run the ball on 3rd and 25.

now that Luke is gone I fear for how terrible this upcoming season is going to be.
