Southern Miss Football.  When fall arrives, there’s no better place to catch up with friends, eat great food and experience southern tradition than tailgating at a Southern Miss football game. There’s an electricity around campus that starts hours before the game as one grill after another ignites, sending the sweet smell of barbeque lofting across the parking lots and grassy knolls of campus. Slowly, a tent city springs up with neighborhoods of black and gold. Not only do these silk, canvas and nylon structures cast a welcome shade, they also catch savory scents drifting from nearby grills.

 

That’s another joy of this event and this town – everyone becomes your neighbor. Whether you’ve known them for an hour or most of your life, you’ll be sharing food and friendship as if you were age-old friends.

 

Once you’re sufficiently stuffed with southern fare, there’s a game to be played. Maybe you’ve seen a Southern Miss game on ABC or ESPN. One thing’s for sure, as exciting as the games may be on television, there is nothing like being here. It’s an experience that’ll likely have you coming back again and again.
