I really hate to say this, but the Ralphie run really needs some improvement IMO. The run itself is cool but I think something needs to be done prior to it. Here's my experience:
You see the players and handlers readying Ralphie to run...but you have no clue when it is gonna happen. So we start awkwardly chanting "Ralphie, Ralphie, Ralphie." But, we're still waiting so we stop and stand quietly for the most part. Than randomly Ralphie starts to run and we all cheer. IMO this could be improved.
I know some will say, the tradition is fine the way it is. But, if this is one of college football's better traditions, it better live up to it. I think the running of Ralphie should be the culmination of a lot of things. Thoughts? Or am I way off base here. runRALPHIErun :gobuffs:
