JoAnn, I'm a Ga Tech fan and GA is our biggest rival. For years, I didn't even own any red or black clothing (UGA colors). We take the rivalry rather seriously! I'm an ACC fan (daughter graduated from GT and son from Clemson). But, I agree, there really is nothing like the SEC (although ACC comes in a close second).

I didn't read the article about tailgating. My son and his wife are big tailgaters at Clemson games. And, at UT, people boatgate too. I always wanted to ride a boat down the Tennessee River to the game. Looked like so much fun.

We went to the Gator Bowl for a Tech game a couple of years ago (think we went two years in a row). I loved the atmosphere in Jacksonville down near the river and stadium area. Had a fun New Year's Eve. It will be a great site for this year's Superbowl game.
