What is Minecraft College Football? Popular TikTok meme explained
Minecraft memes are fairly common across various social media platforms. The sandbox title is so popular that it has become a prominent part of internet culture. From its sound effects to visuals, Minecraft has made a name for itself not only in the video game industry but in others as well.
That said, a popular meme called Minecraft College Football has been doing the rounds online. It originated on TikTok but has now spread to other social media platforms.
So what exactly is the Minecraft College Football meme? This article explains everything you need to know about it.
What is the Minecraft College Football meme?
One of the first known posts about the meme came from a TikTok user named u/luke.pro.minecraft in July 2024. The idea was simple: the user showed a made-up college team called the “Chicken State” participating in a game of college football. Slowly but surely, the meme started picking up and other users came up with more imaginary college team names.
Here are some of the made-up colleges and universities taking part in the imaginary football event:
- University of Steve
- Witch Forest
- Chicken State
- Zombie University
- Pig State
- Ole Moo
- Creeper A&M State
- Sheep University
- Skeleton State
- Villager Tech
Aside from names, Minecraft builders have built large structures, such as college stadiums, university buildings, and even scorecards showing which teams are leading the tournament. Some players even make up stories about how a few teams have been disqualified due to unfair practices.
There are many videos on YouTube and Instagram showing actual games being played. Modders have created animal mobs that can walk and run on two feet. These mobs can be seen running on the pitch, throwing items, and scoring points.
Another funny thing about the meme is how different teams show off their expensive new stadiums. There are countless videos online where players build large stadiums with captions stating the university spent x amount of money on it.
There have also been controversies as part of the meme. For example, one involved the detonation of TNT in the Pig State University stadium during a game. Players have been covering the story as news. Mojang Studios might also pick up on this trend and add one of these games in the next MC Championship events.
