An excerpt from Bill Cs book Football Study Hall as to why we love the glorious sport of college football. ...In Starkville, Mississippi, home fans clang cowbells incessantly, and they are the only fans in the country allowed to do so. This is a big deal. In Stillwater, Oklahoma, the Cowboy Marching Band plays The Waving Song after the home team scores. The fans dont clap along, of course; they wave. In Clemson, South Carolina, the home team pats a rock and runs down a hill to thunderous applause. In College Station, Texas, proud Aggies cheer along with male yell leaders dressed like milkmen, repeating chants that you dont understand and nodding quietly to the collie graveyard on the north end of the stadium.2 In Shreveport, Louisiana, local Louisiana State fans show up at the Independence Bowl, a game in which their team isnt playing, just so they can get some tailgating practice. In Boise, Idaho, Utah State beats Toledo in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. The trophy they receive is basically a crystal bowl of potatoes. Winning this ridiculous trophy is one of the programs finest moments.
