Southern Living Magazine Announces Finalists for “The South’s Best Tailgates”

Presumably this list is based on the festive atmosphere, food selection, tradition, etc. of the tailgates and not which group of students gets the most blackout OTPHJs while half asleep on top of a cooler, shouting “FUCK [insert rival whether or not rival is actually playing in the game],” although technically I guess that qualifies as “festive atmosphere,” so never mind.

In no particular order the finalists are:

– University of Alabama
– University of Georgia
– University of Texas
– University of Oklahoma
– University of Tennessee
– University of Florida
– Grambling State University
– Louisiana State University
– McDaniel College
– Mississippi State University
– Auburn University
– University of Arkansas
– Clemson University
– University of South Carolina
– Texas A&M
– University of Mississippi
– Hampden-Sydney College
– Howard University
– Southern Methodist University
– University of Virginia

You can vote for who you think deserves the title at SouthernLiving.com.

    Howard University rates well in tradition and food selection by having fatherless children drink cough syrup at tailgates.

    so they’ve picked just about every big football school in the south and wrote an article about it. Doesnt take a genius to come up with this.

    Vols win this. Giant boat party and pretty much the entire downtown area is one big tailgate. C’mon…

    The Grove will take this, although Texas and LSU are inching closer every year. If any of you bastards are going to be in Oxford on the 14th I’ll see you there. I’ll be the asshole starting a Texas Fight chant every 5 minutes or so with a bottle of whiskey in one hand and Partagas PSP2 in the other.

      McDaniel’s Stadium is basically just a big bowl that everyone drives their vehicles up to and parks around it. It’s essentially a game long tailgate.
