What do guys like for
football food?
Meat!
By KRISTY WARREN
Journal Staff Writer
Football = Tailgating.
My favorite equation from
my college days at Georgia
Southern. I loved living in a
college town during football
season.
You could just feel the
excitement in the air. The
guys are hype about the
game, tossing footballs,
making bets and listening
to the predictions of sports
announcers on the pre
game show.
The girls are excited that
there is a social event to
attend and it’s guaranteed
that practically everyone
will be there.
My favorite games are
those in the late afternoon
or early evening. The
party starts early and lasts
through the night.

laid back outdoor scene
of Georgia Southern tail
