College Traditions I Don't Understand

OK! it's finally Friday so I can relax. I'd thought since Ole Miss has some game day traditions that some people find confusing I'd talk about both the traditions here and some of the other traditions that my friends from other schools talk about.

Ole Miss has two main traditions on game day. One is dressing up for the games. I like buying new dresses but it can be kinda uncomfortable to wear a dress when it's really cold or really hot. This tradition adds a little bit of class to game day so it makes the experience kinda special. the second tradition is the grove where everyone goes to a kinda park in the middle of campus and parties and drinks. Drinks a lot. It fun and everyone has a easy-up set up and food and drinks. Did I mention drinks? These traditions are fun but some of my friends go to schools with traditions I just don't get. Some traditions are just dumb.

1) A&M- howdy. OK so I went to A&M for yearbook camp and I hated this tradition. It seemed more like a way for guys to hit on girls under the disguise of tradition. It also seemed like someone who worked for A&M was like, "Hey let's make up a tradition cause we don't have enough!" And this is what they came up with. And it's stupid and pointless.

2) LSU- Geaux. I can't spell, but damn this is not even close. And it's stupid and unnecessary. Also even spellcheck does not recognize the word geaux.

3)A&M- standing up during the game. Yep A&M makes the list twice. I know they are standing in case the team needs a 12th man. NEWSFLASH: The team is not gunna run out of players. In fact they give people scholarships to play football. Let the boys earn their free ride. You can sit down. And it's stupid and tiring.

4) UH- the cougar hand sign. The "cougar paw" looks like the shocker. And it's stupid and offensive.

5) OU- jumping into that damn lake. It's cold outside get out of the lake!!!! Jumping into a lake will not help you win. sorry. And it's stupid and cold.

OK it's two am and I'm tired night, so I'm cutting the list short.
