re: SEC Gameday attire question...

The difference is men that go to games in the South aren't wearing uniforms like they play on the team. That's what little boys and girls do. You don't see grown women dressing like the cheerleaders (old men at LSU do this but that's not my point) so why are fans wearing the actual uniform?

You see people wearing jerseys at every school across the nation. Including the south

Besides A&M; I don't.

I've seen people wearing Manning jerseys at every game I've been to in Oxford (around 12)

Your point is pretty invalid

Some kids, some 30+ years old

Playing dress-up is fun but isn't practical and is pretty uncomfortable, especially in the south. I would wear neither a bowtie nor overalls to a game. Neither is practical.

I am a khaki shorts and polo person when weather permits. When it doesn't, I'm a whatever keeps me warm/dry/comfortable but still conveys my lower-upper middle class white male place in society, without looking like a try-hard douche. I won't wear camo to a game, but I'm not putting on a faggy peacoat or "heritage sweater' either.

I probably haven't worn jeans in a few months. I only have a couple pair.

Of course! Almost have the cut, copy, and paste down. Still struggling with right/left click.

Did we just become best friends?

I do have a peacoat, but I wear it when it is cold and only when I'm professionally dressed, of course.

Sarge, that was a hell of a series. Two good teams head to head. All 3 games could have gone either way. Props to the Aggie team.

Fashion buddies!

Oh.....but you own a peacoat.

Its ok, I used to own a wool trench, which in the south is the middle management equivalent of try hard douche-wear. Hey, let me put on this wool trench like folks in Chicago or NYC wear (I watch TV!), then carry it home once the temperature gets above 45 degrees (which it almost always does).

I live in a fashion forward town and am (on my way to being) in a fashion forward profession so a heavy, wool coat was necessary. My dad bought it for me and he spent some decent chedda on it.

It isn't gaudy. That's not cool.
