A guide to tailgating during college football season

The sweet aroma of fried chicken and hamburgers on the grill fills the air as I walk around campus Saturday morning. It’s here. Football season has arrived.

I could never forget my first game day at Florida. I had woken up around 9 a.m. to go to a morning breakfast tailgate on the other side of campus, and, as I walked out of my dorm, I was greeted with the rumbling of a generator and a family playing beer pong just 15 feet to my right.

This was college football at its finest.

I have learned many tricks of the trade when it comes to the dos and don’ts of tailgating on game day, and I’m here to share my wise words of wisdom from all five years of my college football experience.
