And at the other end of the spectrum Baylor finished dead last with their tradition of r*pe.

It's funny because I would be embarrassed about such a tradition.

Auburn is actually missing out on a money-making project.

On Sunday's they could reroll the TP and then sell it to Venezuela for a hefty price.

Poisoning those same trees isn't a better tradition?

Damn straight.

2nd best college tradition is the Eagle flying.
3rd Tiger Walk.

After that you lesser schools can fight over it.

#1 Tradition is winning National Championships.

I never understood Auburn's extremely unoriginal nickname......Tigers.....really?

Same as Mizzou, LSU, Clemson, and Memphis.


There should be a rule: each school in a conference must have a unique nickname........

Auburn's nickname should be War Eagles
LSU's nickname should be Bayou Bengals
Mississippi State's nickname should be Hound Dogs or Swamp Dogs



Also.....too many Wildcats - Kentucky, Northwestern, K-State, Arizona

Northwestern should be Lakers
Arizona should be Sidewinders
K-State should be Thunder Cats......or if they get sued by the makers of:

....then how about Twisters or Thunderbolts.









I know......pretty sad......but.....this is the shit occupying my mind in the off season.

I would have agreed if the original trees were still in place. I always thought it was a cool tradition, if anything because it's so popular now to clear cut 30 acres of cool old trees and throw up 90 cookie cutter houses, but it's lost it's luster in my opinion with the young trees. Probably will be cool in another 100 years.

Typical answer from a fan base that counts their number one tradition as getting drunk and arrested. Don’t believe me just look at mug shots in the state of Alabama after a Bama loss.

I still don’t get how a team called “The Tigers” has the tradition of a fucking bird flying around before the game?
You don’t get awesomeness and this is no surprise.
