    I really hope you're kidding.

    The ONLY one of the last four I even know of (and even then, I don't think that's what they are talking about when they say "tradition") is UGA.

    Personally, I'm a bit surprised our uniforms weren't on there, but whatever, I don't really care that much. It's just ESPN. :lol:

    Is there a link? We really don't have a well known tradition.

    I think A&M's 12th man should be there.

    Check in your deleted folder. If your TiVo is up to date then you should be able to recover it.

    The LSU traditions that get the most ink are:

    1. Tiger Stadium at Night -- we make every "best place to watch a college football game" list.

    2. The Tiger Band pregame fanfare -- It ain't every band that can get the crowd screaming so quickly. Trouble is, pregame stuff never makes it to TV like the Ohio State band dotting the 'i". But writers who have never been in Tiger Stadium before rarely fail to mention it.

    3. Putting Mike the Tiger's cage just outside the visitor's locker room -- The opponents all have to pass Mike on the way to the field. Sometimes he gets a little rowdy. Opposing players mention it all of the time in interviews.
