Description
Summary:This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 3rd edition, 2013, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 382: Like Eagle Flights, Tiger Walks, and the Alma Mater, tailgating has become a special part of Auburn's football tradition. In 1996, Tailgater's Handbook ranked Auburn fifteenth nationally among tailgating institutions. Author Joe Drozda's research covered forty college football games in four years, including sitting in on AU football and tailgating. ... Drozda's book shares tailgating recipes. "But it isn't the food that makes tailgating great," he said. "It's the smile on someone's face, shaking hands with a fellow supporter and talking about your team."
