Little Known College Football Traditions

As we prepare for CFB season, its time to take a look into some of the little known traditions at our favorite schools:
 
1.     Auburn and Clemson. In addition to sharing the same nickname, coaches (see John Heisman and Cliff Ellis), the same town -ok, Clemson has a lake..but Auburn has an animal husbandry building-, these [...]

Bama Shows It’s (cl)ASS…again.

Well, the honeymoon’s over in Tuscaloosa. As a good friend stated so eloquently on www.thesportsbean.com (check the archives section), Bama fans gave Nick Saban four games to win the National Championship, he didn’t and things are back to normal in “T-town.” After Georgia scored the winning touchdown in overtime, the Tide faithful showered the visiting Bulldog players [...]

The Selective Outrage over Michael Vick.
