101 Random College Football Thoughts and Questions
 
1. Why Do Vol fans yell Woo during Rocky Top?  The actual song doesn't contain a Woo
 
2. Where did the "Woo Hoo WooHoohaHoo" develop during Clemson's Tiger Rag?  It used to be just clap to Tiger Rag and spell Clemson out at the end.  
 
3. Why doesn't Georgia Tech drop the gold jerseys and go back to the jerseys they wore during the 1990 NC season?  They looked so much better
 
4. What is the need for hedges at so many Southern Stadiums?  It just makes it harder for Houston Nutt to climb in the stands and lead the band into the fight song(see Auburn-Arkansas 06)
 
5.  Why is a soccer techno song(Zombie Nation) played at so many college football stadiums? When did this become popular
 
6.  Am I the only one who can't get the image of Chevy Chase out of my head when Florida's students go crazy when their band plays "You can Call Me Al"?   Yeah I know "Al" is the name of your mascot, but it's Paul Simon!
 
7. If you are ever in Columbia for a USC game here's something fun to do.  Go sit on row 1 in section 501, below you will be the opposing teams fans.  When it's 30 minutes prior to kickoff a loud rooster will crow over the PA. When it does check out how many fans of the opposing team will jump up in shock
 
8. Why have so many schools copied Arkansas' big red Hoghats.  Those things have been around nearly 50 years, but this decade we've seen Florida, Bama, South Carolina, and many others start coming up with similar versions. 
 
9. Bring Back Col Reb!!! Enough with the PC at Ole Miss

 
10. Did you know Southern Miss once had a mascot named Nat B?  Our history buffs will know who he was named after.  If you don't know then go do some research, it might suprise you.
 
11. Vandy will have 9 different uniforms this year....... Why can't everyone just be like Bama and stick to one uniform?
 
12. When did a howl become part of Arkansas' Hog call?  It's Woo Pig Sooie not Ai-ai aiwhooo pig sooie
