"At Ole Miss, the Tailgaters Never Loose"

While reading this article I could not help thinking to myself that all of the things the author mentioned were very familiar to me. All of the tailgating and partying that takes place at Ole Miss in the Grove sounds quite similar to the game day environment here in Auburn on home game weekends.
Im sure that walking around the grounds outside Jordan Hare Stadium on the day of a home game is not too much different than being in the Grove at Ole Miss. Many fans and alumni arrive here in Auburn early for the games to enjoy the tailgating experience just as the fans in Ole Miss do. The drinking and partying that goes on at the Grove also occurs here at Auburn at numerous spots around the campus. Here at Auburn, we even have our version of the "Rebel Walk" as our players enter the stadium called the Tiger Walk. This article showed me that Auburn is not the only place that takes college football and any chance to party seriously.
