re: What is SEC culture?

SEC Football is a religion. On Saturdays in the South hundreds of thousands make a pilgrimmage to their chosen college town to worship. The lucky ones file into the temple, wearing their "Sunday best", and leave all they have both emotionally and physically. If you aren't tired after a game then you are doing it wrong. Your mood and quality of life will depend on your team's performance from week to week. If you aren't an emotional wreck then you are doing it wrong. You should eat BBQ, Gumbo, Jambalaya, Chicken, etc. on gameday while drinking ridiculous amounts of bourbon and beer. However, you should be at church the next day... after all, that's where a lot of analysis and sports talk takes place.
