The Wettest Tradition In College Football?

The Wettest Tradition In College Football?, One school celebrates homecoming wins with the greatest unknown celebration in the sport. Forde-Yard Dash: Look before you leap, When the final horn sounded at Chet Anderson Stadium on Saturday afternoon, the victorious Bemidji State Beavers (1) shook hands with the visitors from the University of Minnesota, Crookston. Then equipment started flying everywhere.

"It basically looks like some kind of carnage happened," said Dax Larson, assistant director of athletic media relations at Bemidji State. "There's helmets and pads all over the field."

The Beavers then made a mad dash for one end of the stadium, proceeded down a small slope and, with fans cheering them on, splashed into Lake Bemidji (2) in various stages of undress and/or game dress. This was the 13th iteration of one of the greatest unknown traditions in college football: the homecoming lake dive at Bemidji State.
