We’re right in that sweet spot in the college football season. All the big rivalry games—Michigan/Ohio State, Alabama/Auburn, Florida/Georgia—have been played. And now, we wait. Yes, for the nearly 50 bowl games that will be contested across the country, as well as the highly anticipated 12-team bracket of the expanded College Football Playoff.
Sometimes, the tailgate outside is even better than being inside the stadium and watching the game. Whether in parking lots or farmers’ pastures or even along rivers, you’ll find team flags flying, music blasting, and games of cornhole in animated action. Plus, there are always grills in full flame, with the scent of the locals’ special barbecued delicacy wafting over the crowd.
