After the controversies in the games that decided which teams will face off in the Superbowl, let’s lighten the mood with some of the funniest signs held up by fans of college football teams — because the NCAA, the NFL’s feeder league, is clearly the wilder, funnier, and racier of the two.
Here For Nickelback!
There is indeed a position in football called Nickelback, which may well be where the source of confusion comes from. Or maybe the GPS sent someone to the wrong place…

Pretty Harsh
Besides doing better than either Michigan State University or the University of Michigan in sports, Ohio State University’s girls are also just plain hotter. At least that’s what this Buckeye fan thinks, in any case. Whether or not OSU boasts some of the best-looking girls on any campus is up for dispute — what is clear is that this diss hit college girls where it hurts. We just wonder if any fan of either Michigan State or the University of Michigan responded, and how.

Congratulations!
Most of these signs talk about something to do with football, but this person decided that GameDay coming to their school was the perfect opportunity to break the news to mom and dad. Imagine waking up on Saturday morning to watch your old alma mater play, which happens to be where your kid goes to school, only to be hit by the surprising news that you have a new member of the family. Now you have to pay for tuition as well as diapers!

Points For Honesty
College is known for many things, some of them contradictory. The very real and infamous Freshman 15, for example, stands in stark contrast to the health and fitness that ought to be emphasized by college football games. The effects of unhealthy eating and drinking habits by students struggling to stay ahead in their studies was pointed out by this student, who sought company in unwinding on gameday. What’s beautiful is that this person didn’t let body image get in the way of their having a good time.

That Darn Sooner Schooner
No matter where the fan is from holding up this sign, this is definitely a quip we can all get behind. The Sooner Schooner, the symbol of the University of Oklahoma, is one of the most famous and popular mascots out there. They even parade it around their stadium for all the world to see, which damns them even further. So if you’re an Oklahoma fan, you need to be ready to endure this insult, because how can you deny it?

The Truth Comes Out
Sometimes the insults hurled between the teams hit below the belt, like this sign that pokes fun at the female student body at Stanford. It suggests that the real reason Tiger Woods ended his college career to go professional wasn’t his incredible potential waiting to be realized in professional golf, but the fact that Stanford girls are terrible. This college football fan appears to sincerely believe this is the real reason behind his early departure from amateur golfing. Indeed, Woods later admitted to his womanizing ways.

Uh Oh
The great thing about ESPN GameDay is that no one seems to care about anything, just so long as their sign gets coverage nationwide. We’re not so sure if this is due to the ecstasy of the prospect of being on national television or the Irish coffee she had while tailgating, but judging by the misspelling of such an easy word on the sign, it’s “probaly” the latter. Or maybe Tennessee’s student body is just as illiterate as those from Alabama.

Don’t Diss The Golden Bears
College GameDay has become a platform for some of the greatest quips between fans to be broadcast to a wider audience. As these collegiate athletic competitions have pitted schools of higher learning against each other, it’s only natural that fans will insult the intelligence of the opposing student bodies. But beware of grammar and spelling mistakes, folks! College GameDay will find you and shame you before the rest of the nation, as evidenced by the sign this UC Berkeley fan is holding up.

A Great American Tradition
Out of all the heated rivalries in college football, America’s favorite is doubtlessly the annual Army-Navy game. Besides being a hotly-contested game between the rivals and one of the greatest traditions in the sport, the spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie displayed year after year is a touching testament to the fighting spirit of our armed forces. Unfortunately for these Navy fans, they were proven wrong this past season when the army won the series for the third consecutive year.

Duck You
The truth stated on the sign is a slap to the face of any fan of the Oregon Ducks, especially considering their loss to Ohio State for the 2014 National Championship game. Oregon went up against an undefeated Florida State team in a fantastic display of raw talent, crushing the Seminoles. Sadly, a similarly crushing loss to OSU followed this performance. This might not be your opinion if you are a fan of OSU, but most people will agree the Buckeyes have enough championships.

Baylor Bear Blunders
There are far too many bowls around, as any college football fan will tell you, meaning that most of them don’t actually matter for anything. These haters have picked up on this fact and are using it to disrespect Baylor University, much to the Bears’ chagrin. For even though the Baylor Bears have won several bowls, according to those holding up this sign none of them matter. And the ones that did matter? Unfortunately, those were the ones that they lost. Sad, but true.

Take That, Michigan!
Even though Oregon doesn’t have a championship, none of their cities seem to be failing as bad as Detroit city. This appears to be a dig specifically at the University of Michigan, which has quite a number of championships, although it might also be directed at Michigan State, which also has won quite a few. What people might not know is that the University of Michigan wasn’t always located at its current address in Ann Arbor; it was actually founded in Detroit before it moved.

Is There Truth To The Stereotype?
There’s nothing better than two like-minded fans coming together and putting together a classic message such as this, which pokes fun at the intelligence of Auburn’s student body. If you’re an Auburn fan and are still trying to understand what’s written here, maybe it’s best to keep silent… In fact, the alleged stupidity of Auburn fans may be matched only their arch-rivals, the University of Alabama. Remember the Toomer’s Corner tree poisoning incident? Yep. That was done by a Crimson Tide fan.

Thankfully They Can’t Read This List
Indeed, Alabama fans have a reputation for low intelligence. We’re not saying that this is deserved, just stating facts. This might be motivated by jealousy, in all fairness, as the sheer quantity of their championships outstrips pretty much every single other school, with the notable exception of Princeton and Yale. Those Ivy League schools must face the music, however: the overwhelming majority of those championships were won before World War I, a drastically different (and far less competitive) time in football’s history.

Below The Belt
Never insult a man’s khakis! It’s no secret that Jim Harbaugh has a fondness for the article of clothing, and we have to admit he looks great in them. He likes them for how multipurpose they are (he even works out in them). While this diss may have been true several years back, coach Jim Harbaugh has recently admitted that he traded in his $8 khakis for a much pricier brand of khakis. Reportedly, these are made by Lululemon and cost over $100!

No Tears, More Bitter
Clemson is one of the powerhouses of college football — there’s no denying it, folks. While Clemson has had deep-seated rivalries with several other teams in the south, one of the most recent ones to bud out is none other than Notre Dame, straight out of Indiana. Depending on how you count it, the Fighting Irish have the same number of championships as Clemson’s archrivals, Alabama. Indeed, in recent years Clemson has gone through Notre Dame on their way to crushing Alabama underfoot.

We’re Sure You Do, Harvard
Recently, ironic “We Want Bama” signs have been appearing everywhere. This challenge to Alabama, a dominant force to be reckoned with, is pure arrogance. We assure you, no one actually wants to play Bama, because the chance they will lose in the current state of affairs is too great. One Harvard fan slyly poked fun at this, bringing to mind both Alabama’s incredible record and its stereotype its fans have (rightfully?) earned for not being the sharpest tools in the shed.

Just Boasting?
MSU is a force to be reckoned with, indeed. The Wolverines out of Michigan might be able to boast a better academic reputation, but (with the exception of this past season) the Spartans have simply proven they are better on the field in recent years. This success has been repeated week after week against deep-seated rivalries, as they slyly point out here. We’re not sure what the outcome was of this game, but Notre Dame actually leads in all-time matches with their northern enemies by quite a bit.

ESPN
Poor ESPN GameDay host Lee Corso just can’t seem to get a break on his own show. If you pay attention closely, there are even more signs poking fun at him in this list that just happen to appear in the same picture with other signs. He’s able to take it all in stride, however, and is in good humor despite it all. We’re just not sure if we would want to touch the sign and take it back once he’s done holding it…yuck.

Plain Anti-Buckeyeism
There doesn’t seem to be a sharper contrast between the Spartan way of life in ancient Greece and Gandhi’s civil disobedience. That being said, this Michigan State University fan points out that not even Gandhi liked Ohio State. Indeed, the Buckeyes are one of the few teams that have been able to derail Alabama in recent memory. They dominated the Big Ten conference last year, not to mention the year before that. It’s no wonder that the hatred for this team is so widespread.

Too Old To Get A Speech Coach?
Some of these stills have managed to capture two incredibly funny signs that are simply on point. But while O.J. Simpson stealing your tickets brought out some uncontrollable chuckles, the Lou Holtz one had us on the floor. With all due respect to the legendary coach’s skills in leading teams to victory, Lou Holtz sounds like Sylvester the Cat from Looney Toons. We’d pay good money to hear him say “sufferin’ succotash” five times straight. All joking aside, however, Holtz is an American hero.

Another Double Whammy
Here’s another still that has managed to capture two great signs in one shot. As opposed to the last picture, we can’t decide which one is funnier. Mississippi as a state has a bad reputation for many things (obesity, public education, etc.), which is made even sadder by the NCAA-mandated sanctions currently imposed. In addition, Bo Wallace has been so firmly identified with Ole Miss that any insult against him is an insult against Mississippi. That being said, we have to admit that pumpkin spice lattés are our guilty pleasure…

Ouch
Michigan has raked in more wins than any other college football team in history and is now helmed by Jim Harbaugh as their coach, a proven winner in both college football and the NFL. In case you forgot, the 49ers hadn’t had a winning season since 2002 when he became their coach in 2011. He then took them to the playoffs three seasons in a row, one of which ended in a Superbowl appearance. Despite this, Michigan hasn’t won the Big Ten since before Hannah Montana went on air.

We’re Sure They’re Not All That Stupid
Yes, the stereotype about Alabama is so bad that this Texas A & M fan pointed out that even America’s favorite idiot got in. Yes, he’s a fictional character, but they say art mimics reality. Everyone deserves a shot to go to college, however hard it might be to adjust to the new social climate and rigorous education. “Maybe it’s just me,” Forrest Gump admits in the movie, “but college was very confusing times.” Not just for you, Forrest!

A Sad But True Sign
Finally, a “We Want” sign that speaks the truth. The Cleveland Browns are, statistically, the worst team in the NFL, bar none. They have had only two winning seasons in the past 20 years. It’s really sad, but there is the oft-repeated joke that the Browns wouldn’t be able to defeat the better teams in college football, such as Alabama. Maybe this challenge to Cleveland’s football team is actually a much more modest proposal than challenging the Crimson Tide to a matchup.

25 Uplifting Photos That Will Restore Anyone’s Faith In Humanity
Every day, millions of people around the world do small but often extraordinary acts of goodwill. This touching collection of photographs will restore your faith in humanity.
Reverse Busking
This is William Boyajian. He is a professional performer and has managed to make quite a nice living for himself, so he visits local subway stations and plays music for the homeless! Instead of keeping the money that others donate, he urges the homeless to take as much as they need in order to support themselves.

Stopping For A Drink
As you can imagine, cycling in Australia can be a seriously difficult form of exercise. Australia is known for having some of the hottest and driest weather in the world. So cyclists are always warned to take as much extra water with them as possible to stay hydrated. Thankfully, this team of cyclists was glad to have enough water to help this dehydrated koala bear with a few much-needed sips of water.

Carrying A Load
Anyone who takes the subway will know that if you miss your train, that’s it, you have to wait for another to come along. So as a result of this, it’s pretty common to see people running to catch their train. However, this man did quite the opposite. He decided to stop and help an old lady carry her bags down the stairs. As a result, he missed his train, but sometimes the satisfaction of helping someone in need is worth more!

Free Dry-Cleaning
When you’re applying for a job, it pays to look your best. So in order to help those in need or those looking for a job, this friendly dry cleaner offered to clean anyone without a job’s suit in order to increase their chances of getting a job. There’s no doubt that this could be exploited, but we hope that the people utilizing this charity service would be able to honor the kind deed and not abuse their kindness. What a great idea!

Shelter From The Storm
When a winter storm hits, it can hit fast and hard. While younger people are less likely to be negatively affected by being in stormy weather for a few moments, older people can really suffer. This senior citizen was clearly not going to make it to his car without risking damage to his health or just being stuck in the cold for a long time. So this friendly employee decided to use an umbrella to shield him from the rain until he got inside safely.

A Furry Friend
This is one of the most touching images we’ve seen in a while. This marine stumbled across a rabbit that had passed away while out doing his rounds. He then realized that her baby was still alive. Worried that the little rabbit wouldn’t survive, he decided to take it in. However, he had bonded with the little creature too much and couldn’t bear the thought of letting him go. So instead, he bottle-fed the rabbit four times a day for two months before setting them free again.

A Helping Hand
When this little girl went up to her dad to ask him for lunch money, he had to lift his hands and shrug. “I don’t have any at the moment,” he replied to her. As we all know, times are getting tough and supporting a family can be very difficult. So after having to turn down his daughter’s request for cash, the father was amazed to see that she left a note on his desk with some of her savings instead!

Got You Covered
During this Memorial Day game, it seemed as though a little rain wasn’t going to get everyone’s hope down. Rather than retreating to the warmth of their cars or trying to find cover where they could, most of the crowd simply stayed put. When this helpful citizen noticed that a service member didn’t have any cover from the rain, he decided to lend him his umbrella to ensure that he didn’t get too wet over the course of the day.

Heroes
When this crew of window cleaners found out that they would be working at a local children’s hospital, they decided to do something amazing. Instead of arriving at work in their normal attire, they decided to dress up as their favorite superheroes and clean the windows like that. As you can imagine, most of the children were elated to see their favorite heroes climbing past their windows! This was definitely an uplifting moment and we hope it cheered up a lot of kids.

Reading Bench
This old lady was known for frequently popping into this stationery store just to read a few books. Unfortunately, she didn’t have the cash to afford to buy the books that often, so would generally just stand there and read. One day, after noticing that she appeared quite regularly, the store manager decided to do something nice for her and built a small bench for her. Now she can sit there and read her books in comfort without having to stand all the time.

True Victory
As you can imagine, competing in any sport is a serious commitment. Athletes will go all out against one another in order to claim a victory and represent their school proudly. It’s a huge achievement and responsibility. So when this young athlete from Ohio decided to stop running her race just to help a fellow athlete who had become injured, the crowds were amazed that she sacrificed first place to help a competitor. Talk about lending a hand!

Umbrella Save
When this man was heading home one day, he heard a small squeak coming from the storm drain just next to the road he was walking on. His attention was directed towards the storm drain when he heard a little kitten crying out for help. The kitten was stuck in the storm drain and was practically drowning! So the man quickly hopped down and used his umbrella to help scoop the kitten out of the water and up onto dry land again.

Jackets For The Cold
Winter in Canada gets really cold. So a bunch of kids in Canada decided to tie old jackets of theirs to street lights in order to help those less fortunate or those on the street to deal with the extremely cold weather. There is no doubt that those out on the streets during cold Canadian winters are suffering, and by leaving out their jackets with a note that read “I Am Not Lost, Please Take If In Need,” they might have saved a few lives!

Saved
Despite the fact that Russia is one of the coldest places on earth, people there often suffer from domestic fires due to a need for extra heat. All it takes is one mistake for a whole building to catch on fire and at that point, the hero firefighters are called in to save the day. In this image, we can see a firefighter holding a visibly shaken cat that he saved from the burning building. The look in that cat’s eyes is priceless!

Feeding The Needy
While Subway has come under fire in recent years for a having an ambassador who wound up in hot water over a misconduct trial, this hasn’t stopped the brand from being good when it comes to charity. This Subway is a perfect example of how a simple franchise can do a lot to help the needy, and getting a free Subway meal will definitely mean a lot to someone who is out on the streets.

80 Seconds In Heaven
Every child wishes that they could walk through a Toys R Us store and just grab whatever they want without worrying about the price. So, when Andre Johnson, the legendary football player, decided that he wanted to give back to the community, he reached out to a group of children in Child Support Services. He offered them 80 seconds to grab whatever they could in a Toys R Us store and then paid for everything. What a hero!

Not So Evil
Despite having an amazingly cool Lamborghini and a license plate that clearly reads “EVIL,” it seems as though this bad boy isn’t as evil as he seems. Despite portraying the tough guy persona and giving himself the ultimate ego boost by driving a sports car, this speed racer seems to have a soft spot for those in need. Stopping to help a homeless man with some spare change shows that he’s a little more considerate than his license plate reveals.

Cafe By Day, Kennel By Night
For pet lovers, seeing stray dogs can often be an emotional experience. It’s difficult to imagine them out there on the cold streets trying to survive and simply make it through every night. So this café owner in Greece decided on a plan to help stray dogs in his area. Every night after the café closes, the owner lets a few of the local street dogs into the café to sleep on the couches, eat some food, and drink some water.

Duck Save
Norway is known for having some of the coldest waters in the world. Temperatures there are often well below the freezing point which means that lakes and rivers tend to freeze up overnight. When this man went for a walk, he happened to stumble upon a drowning duck that was stuck in some cold water. Thinking fast, the man quickly dove into the freezing water and decided to pull his feathered friend out in the nick of time!

Mass Rescue
While the Japanese train network is largely considered one of the best in the world, the truth is that mistakes can happen at any time. One of the most common types of accidents that plague Japanese railway lines is people accidentally falling in between the train and the platform. When a woman slipped into that gap not too long ago, the officials gathered dozens of people to try and shift the 32-ton carriage just enough for them to slip her out.

Free Flowers
While some of us don’t choose to celebrate Valentine’s Day, the truth is that there’s always a good reason to tell those closest to you that you love them. So, in order to get into the spirit of the day and share a little love, this woman decided to leave a selection of flowers in tiny vases outside her home so that passersby would have something to give their loved ones for free! That’s a great way to share the love any day of the year.

Love Doesn’t Age
While some of us might feel like modern relationships have become a lot more dynamic, the truth is that some forms of love simply don’t change. This is a really touching image of a woman’s grandfather. She posted it to Imugr with the caption, “My 92-year-old grandfather making a birthday card for my 93-year-old grandmother.” It just goes to show that some things in life will never change and that some forms of love really do last a lifetime.

Close Call
This is yet another touching incident of how people will often go to great lengths to help another in need. When this young lamb slipped into a river which carried him out to the open ocean, these two farmboys decided to jump into the freezing colder water and risk getting dragged into the ocean themselves in order to save this little critter. While the lamb was definitely a little worse for wear, it was clear that he would survive!

Homeless Haircuts
As homelessness becomes more and more of a problem, this young stylist from New York decided that he wanted to give back to those in need. Because he doesn’t have the cash to help them out financially, he instead sacrifices a day out of his weekends to help keep them clean and respectable by offering them free haircuts. While it might not sound like much, the truth is that looking presentable can have a huge effect on your psychological wellbeing.

Fancy Pants
When this principal commented on these youngsters’ jeans and told them that he liked them, they decided to do something nice for him in exchange. Rather than ignoring him or simply forgetting about the compliment, these two kids decided to head to the mall and pick up the same pair of pants for him! He was amazed by their act of kindness and decided to take this picture with them to share with the rest of the school.
