How exactly do you measure tradition?

A Winning Tradition consists of a few things:

1. Long Tradition: We are the winningist (sp) program in the modern (Post WW-II Era)

2. Multiple NCs: We have 7 and are in 3rd all time tied w/ USC, behind only Alabama (they only have 8 but say they claim 8471798) and Notre Dame

3. Heisman Trophy Winners: (4) Billy Vessels, Steve Owens, Billy Sims, and Jason White

4. All Americans: I dont know the exact number but you can be sure we rank in the top 10

5. Award Winners: (a few) Only school to have a multiple Butkus Award winner, Brian Bosworth (2) countless RB awards and Defensive awards

6. Winnin % Against top Teams: This is something we do not favor in....
Texas - 39-52
Alabama - 2-1-1
USC - 2-6-1
Miami - 2-3
Notre Dame - 1-8
Ohio St - 1-1
Michigan - 1-0
Penn St. - 1-0
FSU - 4-1
LSU - 1-1

well thats it, but for exact numbers go to www.soonerstats.com I got the winning % against teams from there.

Yeah, Bama fans do measure at 8471798, but that's just because we're counting ahead. :D

ALL JOKING ASIDE, I think tradition should be marked by consistency as well. That's why teams like Michigan are very high in my books, despite the fact that they lack in total NC. Texas the same way. On the opposite hand, I wouldn't give any recognition to Minnesota, despite having 6 titles.

Click on the charts, to the right of the sports story headlines.
I don't agree with all of it, but its a heck of an analysis.

That is very true, I mean to put consistancy so you could include Michigan and Texas, but I would think that falls under winning %

Minnesota has 6? I thought they had only 2-3 reconized titles?
 
If you're looking for a team to follow, you should pick ND. They'll probably be good for awhile.

It depends on what type of person you are. If you want to pick a team that's badass, doesn't have too many fans, and does nothing but win national championships while everyone hates on them, then pick the U. But you wouldn't be able to follow them as easily as ND. You don't wanna miss those games vs. Army, Navy, and the AFA.

As far as being badass, that time has come and gone. They don't have that intimidating swagger they once did IMO.

You don't think they have many fans?
 
I dont think Ive ever seen the Orange Bowl sold out.....

Miami's swagger has gone down as of late

And if he picks Miami he can watch you battle power houses like Florida A&M, Houston and Florida Int :wink:

I think you'll find a lot of ND haters out there. They're a polarizing team, you love them or hate them. Makes it fun sometimes to be an ND fan.
 
Surprised no one has brought up Penn State, I've grown up loving them, especially JoePa, and having them win the orange bowl this year over the noles', instant classic.
Each school has their own tradition and fans, so it's up to you to decide. I think you should follow a team because a) you like them, b) you like their history and c) you like their style of play. Probably one reason we all chose the Phins to follow in the pros.
