"Happy Game Day! Go Dawgs!"

That is the greeting that replaces “Hello” or “Good Morning” Saturday’s in the fall. When most people think Game Day they probably think it just consists of the 4 hrs when their favorite team is on the field. Well, for us, the term “Game Day” encompasses so much more. After 10+ years of tailgating every fall we have learned that “Game Day” starts with planning the perfect outfit days before to the post-tailgate after a victory!
It almost becomes a way of life that starts in early September and lasts until late November (hopefully into January). We share this excitement with thousands of other football die-hards, and while this feeling exists all over the nation, it’s magnified in the southeast.
The best way we have seen to depict the differences between college football across the country is the email forward below. I am sure you have all seen it before but this is a favorite!!

College Football in the South vs. College Football in the North:

WOMEN'S ATTIRE
Up North: Chapstick in their back pocket and a $20 bill in their front pocket.
Down South: Louis Vuitton duffel with two lipsticks, powder, mascara (waterproof), concealer, and a bottle Perrier. Wallet not necessary-that's what dates are for.

FATHERS
Up North: Expect their daughter to understand Sylvia Plath.
Down South: Expect their daughters to understand pass interference.

GAME DAY
Up North: A few students party in the dorm and watch ESPN on TV.
Down South: Every student wakes up, has a beer for breakfast, and rushes over to where ESPN is broadcasting Game Day "Live" to get on camera and wave to the idiots from up North who wonder why Game Day is never broadcast from their campus.

TAILGATING
Up North: Wieners on the grill, beer with a lime in it, listening to local radio station with truck tailgate down.
Down South: 30-foot custom pig-shaped smoker fires up at dawn. Cooking accompanied by live performance by Hootie & the Blowfish, who come over during breaks and ask for a couple bottles of beer.

CONCESSIONS
Up North: Drinks served in a paper cup filled to the top with soda.
Down South: Drinks served in a plastic cup with the home team's mascot-filled less than halfway to ensure enough room for bourbon.

COMMENTARY (MALE)
Up North: "Nice play."
Down South: "Dammit you slow sumbitch! Tackle him and break his legs!!!"

COMMENTARY (FEMALE)
Up North: "My, this is a violent sport."
Down South: "Dammit you slow sumbitch! Tackle him and break his legs!!!"

AFTER THE GAME
Up North: The stadium is empty before the game ends.
Down South: Another rack of ribs on the smoker. While somebody goes to the nearest package store for more beer, planning begins for next week's party.

Perhaps former Georgia All-American Frank Sinkwich put it best when he said “I'm from Ohio, but if I'd known when I was two what it was like down South, I would have crawled here on my hands and knees.” Oh Frank, so true!

We have a love for football and everything that goes along with the sport. We, of course, feel that Southern football is superior to everything else but we want to share our love for the “Game Day” experience with football fans alike whether it is in Athens, GA, South Bend or Madison, Wisconsin

One thing’s for sure, come the weekend of September 5 we will be in the midst of a killer tailgate complete with Bourbon and Coke, cornhole boards, the best food around, all while wearing “to die for” outfits! And yes, we understand pass interference.

That my friends, is why we call ourselves the Queens of Game Day.
