While Reading this article, I could only think of one appropriate title for this blog, “sports and Religion”. In the article, the writer explains how in the south, college football is pretty much a religion. He describes the Pandemonium that goes on before and during the season starts. The writer begins by discussing how two friends who are big Ole Miss fans got the marching band to play at their wedding. The point the writer is trying to make is where ever you go in the south, there is a tradition, and there is love for college football. The writer also talks about what goes on and what is the atmosphere like in the spring and summer in these southern collegiate towns. It’s the same story across the south; fans keep track of the days left and they pay attention to recruiting. In my perspective, I am a college football junkie as well. I don’t all ways watch my Volunteers but I watch the rest of the SEC as well. I watch those LSU night games and those warms days in the swamp. I cannot even miss a South Carolina Vs Clemson Game because it gets so rough. And of course where I live, in the heart of college football, Athens, Ga is wake up call to College Gameday. My heart deeply throbs for those passionate games in late October where the season is on the line and one game can mean it all. I deeply respect the teams from the south.
