I was raised in a family that taught me to love and devote considerable time learning the basics of sports and, as a side effect, perhaps much more importantly, what it can do for people. For as long as I can remember my family wakes up on a cool morning and plans the daily festivities. From skyline chili, to guacamole, to fried everything: Wings, Snickers, and even gator. Mornings with College GameDay, building suspense for the biggest matchup of the day, and waiting anxiously for the voices of Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson at 3:30. And the joy we feel as countless friends and family walk into the house, hugging, cheering, and bringing their own dips, deserts, and excitement for the sport we all love. The atmosphere of a college game on a Saturday afternoon is unlike any other place. The students, band, and traditions aging 100 or more years and fans who leave their homes at 5:00AM to meet up with lifelong friends, old co-workers, and brand new faces, all united over barbecue and a love for there school.
