Spending every Saturday in a stadium now until November? We hear you. Weâre officially in the midst of football season. Or, as we like to call it, tailgate season.
Gamecock, Tiger + Bulldog fans can agree on one thing: the pre-game feast-ivities are an essential part of the gameday experience and require some planning (whether youâre in a parking lot outside of the stadium or at home in the den).
