campus, make a_ large financial contribution and put name on a waiting
list for tickets.


Friday Classes After a_ Thursday Night Game:

_ because
they have classes on_ Friday.

the few hung over students that might actually make it to_ class.


Parking:

game parking.

_ the
weekend festivities. The really_ faithful arrive on Tuesday.


Game Day:

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 up_ north who wonder why "Game Day Live" is never
Broadcast from
_ their
campus.


Tailgating:

NORTH: Raw meat on a_ grill, beer with lime in it, listening to local
radio station with truck tailgate down.

accompanied by live_ performance from the Dave Matthews Band,... who
come over during breaks and ask for a hit off bottle of_ bourbon.


Getting to the Stadium:

NORTH: You ask "Where's the stadium?" When you find it, you_ walk right
in.
SOUTH: When you're_ near it, you'll hear it. On game day it is the
state's third largest city.


Concessions:

NORTH: Drinks_ served in a paper cup, filled to the top with soda.
SOUTH: Drinks served in a plastic cup, with the home_ team's mascot on
it, filled less_ than half way with soda, to ensure enough room for
bourbon.


When_ National Anthem is Played:

NORTH_ : Stands are less than half full, and less than half of them
stand_ up.
SOUTH: 100,000 fans, all_ standing, sing along in perfect four-part
harmony.

The Smell in the Air After the First_ Score:


NORTH: Nothing changes.
SOUTH: Fireworks, with a touch of bourbon.

Commentary (Male):

NORTH: "Nice play."
SOUTH:_ "Dammit, you slow sumb*tch - tackle him and break his_ legs."


Commentary (Female):

NORTH: "My, this certainly is a violent sport."
SOUTH: "Dammit, you slow sumb*tch - tackle him and_ break his legs."

Announcers:

NORTH: Neutral and_ paid.

SOUTH: Announcer_ harmonizes with the crowd in the fight song, with a
tear in his eye because he is so proud of his_ team.

After the_ Game:

NORTH: The stadium is_ empty way before the game ends.
SOUTH: Another rack of ribs goes on the smoker, while somebody goes to
_ the
nearest package store for more_ bourbon, and planning begins for next
week's game.


Nothing else in the universe comes even_ halfway close to the glories of
Southern football!

Yeah! You got it!
