Traditions
See what lies behind the continual success of the CSM football program.
	Sophomore Day Every year at the last home game, the College of San Mateo football team will have a pre-game ceremony honoring it’s sophomore football players. Players will be announced individually and will jog across the field and present a rose as a token of appreciation to their parents.
	Bulldog Games At the end of our spring workouts, coaches and players are separated into teams of 5 and participate in a variety of events, including Keg Toss, Swim Relay, Tug of War, Truck Push, Obstacle Course, and many more. Team with the most points at the end of the three day event is the winner.
	Night of Champions Capping off the spring, the Bulldogs will come in at night and compete for the coveted Iron Bulldog Award. Players are put into three weight categories and compete in a pound for pound weight lifting competition in the Bench Press, Squat, and Clean.
	CSM's Fastest Man This is our version of March Madness. We will have a single elimination tournament to see who is the fastest CSM Bulldog. Players are split into three classes – O and D Line, Backs, and WR/Db’s. They will compete against each other one on one until there is one man standing.
	Bowl Game Dinner Players are not only members of our football team, but members of our Football Family. Families work together, play together, and eat together. Prior to our bowl game at the end of every year, we will have a sit down dinner to celebrate the year and time spent together.
	Open Mic Night After the Bowl Game Dinner, players are encouraged to come up on stage in front of everyone and perform skits, jokes, impersonations, or anything they want. There are no holds barred, this is the player’s chance to get back at the coaches.
	Ugly Bulldog This is probably the most highly contested award at the College of San Mateo. As part of the year end festivities, players will cast their vote as to who they feel is the ugliest player on the team. The winner receives a gift certificate for a dinner for one at the year end awards banquet.
