Auburn University: Boasts an entire Wikipedia page devoted to pregame rituals.
Clemson University: Caps off pre-gaming with one of the best player entrances in college football.
Grambling State University: Turns its rival match up into a weeklong extravaganza.
Hampden-Sydney College: Inspired a Brooks Brothers ad with its well-dressed “Hillgaters.”
Howard University: Sports the styles that have earned students mentions on best-dressed lists.
Louisiana State University: Enlists RVs and crawfish boils to cook up a massive tailgate.
McDaniel College: Houses the nation’s only drive-in stadium.
Mississippi State University: Treats its friendly fan base to ice cream made on-campus.
Southern Methodist University: “Boulevards” instead of tailgates with stylish barbecues.
Texas A&M: Wakes the school up at midnight on game day with “The Midnight Yell.”
University of Alabama: Packs tents 1,000-deep on the Quad each Saturday.
University of Arkansas: Claims two football stadiums in different cities.
University of Florida: Hosts annual tailgate-turned-block party occupying nine acres.
University of Georgia: Welcomes more than 100,000 tailgaters per game.
University of Mississippi: Is home to The Grove – chandeliers, candelabras, linen napkins and all.
University of Oklahoma: Starts with “The Land Run” to lay territory claim before each game.
University of South Carolina: Tailgates in Cockabooses, 22 train cabooses turned game day suites.
University of Tennessee: Unites 150 houseboats and yachts nearby for a massive “sailgate.”
University of Texas: Co-hosts annual Red River Rivalry in Dallas at the local State Fair.
University of Virginia: Tailgates against the backdrop of Charlottesville’s Monticello Mountain.

Knew it was coming...As someone that spends most away weekends in the Grove, the gap has been drastically narrowed in the past 5 years. All the Junction needs is time, history, and something that makes it "unique" now.

More and more schools will realize the improvement that has been made as they rotate back onto our schedule and thus see Starkville/MSU for the first time in years. Tennessee is in for a surprise this year when they visit for the first time in 5 years.

I'll be happy to help you because your nine posts have added nothing thus far.

What I can't figure is this..[ "Ole Miss was noted in the trend-setter category"] How can Ole Miss be a trend setter when you **** have been doing the same thing for 50 years?

almost a thousand miles to do a story on a place he had never been and didn't have any guidance when he got there. Just sounds like 1 pissed off opinion of an underpaid student (paper is staffed by students) reporter. Reminds me of the one last year that the BYU guy wrote about your group in the trees after their visit. Anybody still got a link to that one?

Anybody ever been to Columbia? It's not all that hot either ... and also not very large. It's certainly not a centroid of sophistication. I've never understood the compulsion people have to denigrate a place based on preconceived notions of what they think it will be like.<div>
</div><div>And Starkville is not "100 miles south of Oxford". It's southeast .... Maybe he needs to look at a map ....</div>

I guess the SEC starter kits comes with suggested writing.......Starkville, cow college, out in the middle of nowhere.....Congrats Mizzou. You fit right in.

I sureit was extremely difficult to find someone who wasn't riding around with a .30-06 shooting zoombies.
