Captain Morgan? Crown Royal? Dave Matthews Band? That is not the south that I know. More like Jack Daniels, Southern Comfort, and Charlie Daniels.

Now that's a football game! And so true, Charlie Daniels will be playing at a game right here on Labor day weekend!

True college sports rivalry is great.

NEVER go shopping on a game day, you will never find a parking
spot when you get home. the noise and litter is out of control too.

Hail, hail our alma mater. (Mumble for a minute or two while the seniors who know the words actually sing the song.) Dear Old C-U!
I see nothing but teams from the South and California.
