Duh.


Really? You think so? Penn State has some great tradition, no doubt, there are a few others schools.

-Notre Dame: I hate their guts with everything in me but that guy running around dressed like an Irishman is cool. Talk about tradition over at that university. They live off of Jesus and football.

-LSU: Have you ever been to Tiger Stadium on a Saturday night? Probably not. The fans are drunk with love for their Tigers and whatever booze they brought with them in an ice chest. People tailgate in the parking lot for the game all day, and then come in and pack the house with between 92,000-96,000. Then, you've got Mike the Tiger. The guy has a great little habitat for him outside the stadium and comes inside in a cage.

-Ohio State: The best damn band in the land. The whole shabang with the band on the field and dotting the eye. Tradtion runs rampant in that place like crabs on Britney Spears. The whole Michigan rivlary is what makes up that school.

-Michigan: The Big House and one of the winningest programs in the NCAA. And their rivalry with Ohio State.

Those are just a few...


Have you ever been to Beaver stadium. Kirk Herbstreit just said it was the best in the country. GO look at SI on campus and look at the list of 101 things to do before you graduate. #1 is Camp at Paternoville. It was also voted the greatest show in college sport. You wanna talk about tailgating. Penn state has 150,000 tailgaters every weekend. I know. I have season tix


-Ever been to Rocky Top? Neyland Stadium is gigantic and is a sea of orange for a Vols game. They've got hound that is willing to bite your leg.(Auburn game) That program leads the nation in wins since 1926 and when the team does win the QB will conduct the band.

-Auburn: The War Eagle!!! They have that baby fly into the stadium!!! Bo Jackson ring a bell!?!?

Ok, I've listed a few, and I guess I have to pick one.

I'll take Ohio State just for grins despite being a rapid LSU Tigers fan.

Since being in Division 1-A for 116 years, they've won 5 National Titles. They have an alltime winning % of over 70. They've had 7 Heisman winners including the only back to back winner in Archie Griffin. Countless Lombardi, Maxwell, Outland, Walter Camp and other various awards run through their history. They've contributed NFL greats like Eddie George, Lou Groza, Cris Carter, and countless other players from today.

They have the biggest rivalry going in NCAAF with Michigan, and we all know how deep that runs.


However we have been robbed of NC 6 times


Have you now? Who do you think stole it from you and where did they go with it? I wonder if they dug a hole and buried the titles you deserved.

One Last Note: Ohio State has produced 5 NFL HOF's.

I also have season tix PSUforever, but it's not the most traditional program. Any moron knows that. The only thing Penn State can claim is best student section in the country- and there is no arguing that.

happy valley may be a tough place to play, that means NOTHING when concerning traditions. I am an OSU student, and as a fellow Big Tener, can not think of ONE huge tradition that I would rank up as one of the best. I can think of FOUR from ND, THREE from OSU, and I haven't even approached SEC country, USC is full of tradion, can anyone say Song Girls? PSU is not even in the top 20, I'm sorry.

I have never claimed Michigan had the best tradition. There are at least a number of schools with better (or more) tradition(s) than Michigan.
