    Football in the north and south

    Planning for the fall football season in the South is radically different than up North. For those who are planning a football trip South, here are some helpful hints:

    Women's Accessories

    NORTH: ChapStick in back pocket and a $20 bill in the front pocket.

    SOUTH: Louis Vuitton duffel with two lipsticks, waterproof mascara, and a fifth of bourbon. Money not necessary--that's what dates are for.

    Stadium Size

    NORTH: College football stadiums hold 20,000 people.

    SOUTH: High school football stadiums hold 20,000 people.

    Fathers

    NORTH: Expect their daughters to understand Sylvia Plath.

    SOUTH: Expect their daughters to understand pass interference.

    Campus Decor


    NORTH: Statues of founding fathers.

    SOUTH: Statues of Heisman trophy winners.

    Homecoming Queen

    NORTH: Also a physics major.

    SOUTH: Also Miss America.

    Heroes

    NORTH: Rudy Guliani

    SOUTH: Archie & Peyton Manning

    Getting Tickets

    NORTH: 5 days before the game you walk into the ticket office on campus and purchase tickets.

    SOUTH: 5 months before the game you walk into the ticket office on campus and put name on waiting list for tickets.


    Friday Classes After a Thursday Night Game

    NORTH: Students and teachers not sure they're going to the game, because they have classes on Friday.

    SOUTH: Teachers cancel Friday classes because they don't want to see the few hung over students that might actually make it to class.

    Parking

    NORTH: An hour before game time, the University opens the campus for game parking.

    SOUTH: RVs sporting their school flags begin arriving on Wednesday for the weekend festivities. The really faithful arrive on Tuesday.

    Game Day

    NORTH: A few students party in the dorm and watch ESPN on TV.

    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.

    SOUTH: 30-foot custom pig-shaped smoker fires up at dawn. Cooking accompanied by live performance by "Marshall Tucker 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 becomes 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 sumbitch--tackle him and break his legs..."

    Commentary (Female)

    NORTH: "My, this certainly is a violent sport."

    SOUTH: "Dammit, you slow sumbitch--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.
