Title: TDMMC March Madness - TRADITION - Gator Chomp vs. Silent Night
Post by: Dave Gray on April 07, 2014, 02:00:34 pm
The Gator chomp involves moving your arms up and down like a gator mouth.  This is often accompanied by the theme from Jaws.  It appears to have started in 1981.

From wikipedia:
Every year the Friday before final exams, Taylor University has the Silent Night Men's Basketball game. In it, students remain quiet until the 10th point is scored and then erupt in cheering.[45] In the late moments of the game, "Silent Night" is sung.[46] A former assistant coach came up with the idea in the late 80s and it was a packed event by the mid-to-late 1990s.[45] Afterward, students can go to "Habecker's Hollapalooza", which is a campus-wide party involving live Christmas music, making and eating Christmas cookies, and making gingerbread houses.[47]

Silent Night is possibly the weirdest and most quirky tradition I've ever seen.  Check this video...  The stands are jammed and its completely silent.  Until.....

Yeah, Silent Night got my vote, just because I can't turn down dudes riding around riding fake bicycles in thongs.
