O.T: Silent Night

That tradition, went to Taylor for 1.5 years and they didn't do that back then. Too bad just about every other thing about Taylor University blows.

That would make me very nervous as a player.  So much pressure to score quickly.

Also the school that has moses part the red sea is good too

These are the types of traditions that college sports should be about.

Graduated from there. It's always funny to watch it because the other team usually has no idea whats going on. The look on their face is priceless.

That is nothing short of awesome. Things like this make the college experience so special and really is what sets it apart from professional sports!

This is sorta like a mass Vipassana mediatation.  

If we are appreciating other fans traditions, utah state has the best college basketball fans I can find, just awesome.

I want to hang out in a room full of 2000 people eating cookies and making gingerbread houses!

We had this tradition at basketball for like the entire Amaker era. Except we set it at 80 points.

Every place and group has its own traditions. I remember seeing the rock at Washtenaw and Hill painted and repainted, a Michigan tradition. Ohio has swimming in the Oval before the MIchigan game. As a student, I remember students being passed up the Michigan stands, a tradition that has since been outlawed, from my understanding. (I don't think passing up students would work anymore anyway, because from the pictures I've seen posted here at mgoblog, the student section is no longer crowded during games. Apparently football games aren't as popular at Michigan as they once were.)

At any rate, I'm glad the Taylor students have something like this to celebrate the end of the term and enjoy some fun and craziness. Those are the kind of things that make for great memories. I remember all the alumni who would come to Ann Arbor on game days. You could see, as they looked around and walked around, the remembrance and reliving of a time long past. Now I am in that position myself, and I'm thankful for good memories of dorm and fraternity game day traditions. Good times, good traditions, and good memories.

Any story on student basketball fans that doesn't involve Dick Vitale and the DUKIES (!!!) is OK with me.

This is very cool.  It'd be fun for the Maize Rage to try that once.  Then again, we should probably come up with our own thing.

I grew up about an hour from Taylor. I had no idea this university, let alone the tradition, existed.

...I'm surprised the entire student body can pull off the silent act.  You'd think there would be at least one asshole who would shout out something lewd about halfway through that would send everybody into giggles.
