College football is known for its quirky traditions, but fans across the country are learning about one of the more bizarre yet fun traditions during the SEC clash between the No. 4 LSU Tigers and No. 13 Ole Miss Rebels.

As the two undefeated teams squared off in Oxford for what was the 107th time in the schools' history, many took notice of an unexpected flag throughout the stadium and at tailgates around the campus.

The flag in question is that of Trinidad and Tobago, which, for those who haven't brushed up on their geography as of late, is a dual-island nation in the Caribbean.

While some may think there is a complex meaning as to why, as reported by Sam Hutchens of the Clarion Ledger, it is simply a unique way for fans to show support of quarterback, Trinidad Chambliss.

The Division II Ferris State transfer stepped in to replace an injured Austin Simmons earlier in the season and has not relinquished the role since, leading the Rebels to a 24-19 win.

On Saturday, Chambliss completed 23-of-39 passes for 314 yards and a touchdown. On the year, Chambliss has thrown for 1,033 yards and five touchdowns to just one interception.

With the win, the Rebels advance to 5-0 on the season, while the Tigers fall to 4-1.

As for the Trinidad and Tobago flags, it seems fair to expect quite a few more of those as Chambliss continues to transform into one of the sport's biggest stars.
