A few years ago, my wife and I went to an Auburn game at Auburn as the guest of a guy I had done a lot of business with.
 
We showed up Friday morning and all anyone talked about was tomorrow's game. And I mean everybody. The people at the airport. The staff at the hotel. The guys behind the counter at a 7-11. It was total immersion. And they weren't even playing Alabama. The whole place was vibrating with excitement.
 
The Friday night cocktail party / dinner was outrageous. People dressed to the nines. And the women talked about football in depth. Orange and blue every where.
 
Saturday was tailgating and the game. Then it was more drinking and then out to dinner for more talk about football and Auburn.
 
Sunday morning was brunch and rehashing of the last game and the solidifying of the details on the road trip for next Saturday's game.
 
The only thing we have in the Northeast that even approximates it is Penn State and that Winnebago brigade they have. And even that is a pale imitation.
 
And from what I can tell, with the possible exception of Vanderbilt, its like that at all these SEC schools. It's crazy. It's out-sized. And we don't have anything like it. Not even close. And that includes the pro football crowd that is essentially a bunch of Sunday drunks dressed in spirit gear eating hotdogs and swilling too much beer in asphalt parking lots.
