What is it like to be a fan of a traditional power??

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Can any Yale, Harvard, or Army fan answer this question? Sure as hell cannot for the Noles.

Yale can…

Really though the biggest thing is the pride and the tradition.

You can't buy tradition.

So? In his last "big finale" he ended up crying like a bitch with some other big dude running his fingers through his hair, like I said initially.

So, you are comparing Tebow with what appears to be a kid who is about 8 years old?


Oh geez.

That is why I brought them up. Between the 3 they hold 37 football championships.

I'm pretty sure you are no longer a "Traditional Power" when you stop playing the game. Traditions are no longer traditions when they are no longer followed, they are history.

Actually All 3 still play football. Harvard and Yale are just now in the FCS. Harvard is one of the OLDEST programs in all of football.

I don't think that counts.

You can call them a historic power, but not a traditional. They don't have a tradition of being a power, they have a very distant history of it.

Pretty much lol. Having said that, that kid and Tebow have prolly been laid about the same amount of times at the time.

But Tebow still got the best of Bama, 2 games to 1.

And nobody cried on national TV.

So...

Tebow - 2
Bama - 1

You said and I quote.

"I'm pretty sure you are no longer a "Traditional Power" when you stop playing the game. Traditions are no longer traditions when they are no longer followed, they are history."

They never stopped playing the game was my point about them still playing it. We can argue the use of traditional and historic, but i personally do not feel like it.

Tebow - 2
Bama - 1

I'll take the 1. Your QB cried on national TV and then your head coach had to go to the emergency room.

So, really, that's 3 wins rolled into 1.

But but but... 2-1!

All 3 still have their traditions. Those never ceased. All you are considering are the championships. There is more to it than that.
