Things You Will Find at an HBCU Football Game

  It's college football season time again (that's band season for you HBCU folks). Who doesn't love college football???  Bad college football teams.  But even the bad teams still have supporters that want to see their hometown team or alma mater get on the field and represent their school.  HBCUs have great tradition and when you get to see a game live (because you won't find it on TV) you will see things you won't see anywhere else.

  Here are some of the things you will find at an HBCU football game:

-HBCU college football preview that only showcases the band, complete with depth chart, first chair through third

-College pick em' challenges for HBCUs. Each week you choose which team will have the most dropped batons

-HBCU schools may not be able to go to a BCS game & their players won't make the league, but the bands can get a Coke commercial or make J Coles Who Dat video 



- HBCU football playbooks are this year's BET awards nominees album, the 3-disc collection

-The elite HBCU football teams have one white player, the kicker. The rest just have the waterboy on the field trying to make field goals

-At HBCU games, the band gets a chartered bus while the players drive their own cars to the game 

-At HBCUs, the starting QB, RB, & WRs were all cut from the band

-At HBCU's the tuba players are bigger than the actual linemen on the field  

-At HBCU's, the groupies try to get pregnant by the drum majors and use the football players as their way to meet them 

-At HBCUs, a perfect QB passer rating is 87 

-To increase attendance at HBCU games, the band will perform on the field for 4 quarters and the teams will play during the half 

-Only at HBCUs will you find chitterlings at the concession stands & the players drinking Kool-Aid instead of Gatorade
 

-Only at a HBCU will you see this in the Highlight Reel
