My nephew is in one of the photos in the slide show. My wife and I are graduates of “the other place”.
We wore ties to the games in Tuscaloosa back in the late 70’s/early 80’s. As a fraternity pledge, we had to be at the game when the gates opened to “save seats” for the fraternity members.

it is unfortunate that well-dressed young gentlemen and ladies who are actually students at these universities are being shoved aside for boors who never attended any college and are as apt to paint circles around their nipples in the school colors and bare them for the television cameras...all for the sake of outrageous and highly profitable ticket prices. It has always been a tradition in the south to dress decently for football games and to take a libation into the stadium to celebrate touchdowns...something the bluenoses have eliminated. if you see someone in a southern stadium inappropriately dressed it is highly likely he is a non-student, non-alumni, who is, indeed, not from around here.
