15 for '15: College football's best traditions
You'll note two categorical absences in CFB 24/7's look at 15 of the best game-day traditions. No live animals and no hand gestures. While Georgia's long line of Bulldogs named UGA and the history behind Texas A&M's Reveille have their place in college football lore, live mascots are everywhere -- from Texas to Colorado to Tennessee to LSU -- and distinguishing which are the best is folly. Ditto on splitting hairs between the traditional fan gestures: Florida's Gator Chomp, Texas' Hook 'Em Horns, FSU's Tomahawk Chop, et al. So with those ground rules set, here are 15 of the finest traditions -- some more well-known than others -- in the college game.
