Two items to mention:

1)Fum's Song

One of the more fun and unusual, if modestly un-PC college traditions is Colorado State's singing of "Fum's Song."

I'll let author Mike Donovan explain the trouble with Fum's Song:

The athletic department decided to resurrect a video of a rally cry originally made and performed by the late Thurman "Fum" McGraw, a former three-sport All-American and athletic director for the Rammies.

The video worked to perfection. Drunken college students giddily sang along with equally enthusiastic middle-aged alumni as they pumped up the football team between the third and fourth quarters of every home game. Players were happy, fans were happy, alumni were happy, everyone was happy.

Apparently, somewhere in the bowels of the Fum McGraw athletic offices during the offseason, a group of sports officials decided that after a one-year revival, "Fum's Song" would no longer be shown on the big screen. The song, which refers to Colorado College as "sissy boys" and students at Colorado School of Mines as "drunkards" apparently went against CSU's goal of a family-friendly atmosphere at games. The closing line -- "Before I see my son in Boulder, I'd see my son in hell" -- was not a favorite of the athletic department.

I understand where CSU is coming from.  In recent years schools have made moves towards a more sedate atmosphere in college football games.  That means almost no booze in the stadiums, limits to tailgate access and liquor distribution in the parking lots and a leery eye towards traditions that don't pay the greatest homage towards sportsmanship.

For the adults in the crowd there's no harm and no foul to the recital of the song, but not everyone in the crowd is an adult.  It's a tough call, and personally I have little to find at fault with the song.  CSU probably could have handled this better, perhaps limiting its use to postgame celebrations that fans voluntarily choose to stay afterwards to be a part of.

2)With an eye towards Monday, there's a modest smackdown between a fan of Miami and a fan of Florida State.  It's kind of fun reading two women pull each other's hair---in print.  I give the edge to Miami's representative, Stacey Arnold.  She managed to not only dog FSU, but the entire state of Arkansas and some obscure college in New York that has nothing to do with this game.  That's brave.
