We're a bit light on traditions compared to the SEC stuff you're used to, but we have some cool stuff. I'm sure you know about the legend of 44, which is a huge thing all across the University. My favorite actual fan tradition which really picked up steam again last year as we were winning games was the flipping of the banners at The Varsity.

The Varsity is an awesome fast food/pizza joint on Marshall which hangs up banners for all of SU's football opponents that year. After a win, the band and/or the team will flood into the place and one player/coach/important person will get on a ladder and flip the banner and every sings the fight song and alma mater, it's really awesome to be there, especially when you follow Twitter feeds to try to figure out when the team will land and head over after an away game. I definitely shed a tear after watching the team flip the banner after we beat WVU last year.
