Lamest celebrated tradition in sports has to be Clemson’s run down the hill?

The traditions are lame.

Dressing out and circling the stadium in a bus? Wheeling out a tiny cannon, then kissing a rock in front of your stolen mascot in your stolen stadium?

Gay

Oh no, nope. It’s the Ole Miss dunk celebration. Just cringe.

I don’t think it’s lame as much as stupid. You are asking some really big guys, some who are not as agile as others, to run as a group down a hill while pumped full of adrenaline. When your tradition has a downside risk of one guy slipping and tumbling forward to create a domino effect that takes out 2/3 of your 2 deep, then you may want to scrap that tradition. Just a thought.

The whole thing is hysterical. Get on the field for warmups and stretching. Then leave the field, board a bus to go to the opposite side of the stadium, then run down a hill a touch a rock.

The second rate tiger mascot that looks like it is was on acid.

And that hysterical “cannon”

Also got me wondering has any player ever been injured running down the hill? Seems like a dumb liability to add pregame

Auburns tiger is pretty funny looking but I think even he is better than Clemson

The troop running with mini cannon on a dolly had me ROLLING. So ridiculous

I was outside the stadium when the buses came flying..and I mean FLYING... around the stadium at probably 50 to 60 mph. They were in full pads. Dabo was in the oversized windshield of the 1st bus, basically sitting on the exit steps/dashboard with this tough guy look on his goofy face smashed in the window...the second and third busses had one of their larger players standing up in full pads with fingertips on the windshield to steady themselves while the bus was flying around the corner...they looked like a massive mannequin...like the ones they use to show this years new uniforms or something...while it was kind of unusual, it never entered my mind that they got off a frickin bus to run down the hill trying not to bust an ankle or knee....
I am actually glad I saw it because it is very unique and interesting. As fast as those buses go around that corner I can't believe they haven't run over a drunk fan yet. Lots of cops screaming at people to get off the road...NOW! Like a weak Mardi Gras parade route.

The guy pushing it almost shite his pants when it went off

It seemed like LSU timed it so they would run out onto the field right as Clemson was running down the hill to kinda steal some of their thunder. Love it if so.

Sure, but we can still make fun of them.
