WHAT FOOTBALL TRADITIONS DOES YOUR FCS TEAM HAVE?

Post by BlackFalkin »

EWU has a tradition of banging on the ANYTHING (ex. locker) in the locker room after a win. So if EWU scored 42 points in the win, everybody bangs the locker 42 times. Its loud & a lot of fun. ESPECIALLY after a close/important win.

EWU has another tradition of singing the 'Go, Eagles, Go' song to the EASTERN fans after a win.

Old Dominion's only been playin' for two years, but we do have the Monarch March where the players walk from the practice facility to the stadium (which are on opposite sides of campus, both east/west and north/south so it truly is a walk through campus). A lot of schools have this though.

Another "tradition" we have is selling out every game so far (14). :coffee:

And oh yeah, this baby:

At the entrance to our EZC there is the 'Bill Miller Victory Ball" All the players touch it on their way in, on gameday.
(Bill Miller 1931-2006- Coach with second longest tenure - 15 yrs - and best w/l record. Orchestrated the 2 DII NC's by hiring Jim Wacker. Was the AD for 18 yrs - 1975-1992 - and took TXST from DII to DI.)

Other than that I would have to say losing is a traditon :D

Most of you are aware that Montana has the tradition of winning, singing the fight song after a victory and gouging season ticket holders to see a weak a$$ D-2 opponent on an annual basis.







But very few people know about the traditions of Montana being Loud, Cold, playing 8 "rivalry" games per year and of course the tradition that is the piece de' resistance...............................

Also:

Losing big leads and big games.
Losing to teams we should annihilate.

If there was any doubt as to whether she was savvy enough, tough enough or smart enough to carry the mantle of Vice President, she put those fears to rest tonight. She took on Barack Obama DIRECTLY on every issue and exposed... She did it with warmth and humor, and came across as the every-person....it's becoming mroe and more clear that she was a genius pick for McCain."

1) Late season collapses
2) Finishing 6-5 or 5-6
3) Finding new ways to lose to Montana every year

Streamers. Fucking streamers. Oh, and beating up on Toddles College. Which has to be super embarrassing because we throw streamers.

Beating North Iowa is SOP. Even in the unusual year we don't make the playoffs we still beat uni.
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.

15-14 bitch.

Even when you beat us we still win the conference.


I guess that is another UNI tradition...winning the conference.

Which is then followed by what D1B has listed.


A tradition at NDSU is talk all kinds of shit about how awesome they are, live off of D2 titles from the 80's, then finish in the bottom of the MVFC.

A good one. Had a chance to be there for it last year, and it's nice the way they walk through all the stuff going on around campus.

:ohno: D1B is off his meds and you can't believe a word that junkie says.

The simple fact is that most of SIU's players have never lost to the Painters and have owned the MVC for years. :tothehand:
