STU JINT LIFE Tailgating Tradition Chickens were barbecued, hamburgers grilled, weinies roasted, beer chilled and potato chips dipped in honor of the forthcoming game. An air of victory and high spirits surrounded the well wishers. The Intramural Fields, lots behind Tully Gym, the Haskin Circus Complex and any other available spaces along Chieftain Way were the sites where alumni and students took up temporary residency. Tailgating parties have become a tradition for all Seminole fans, young and old. It was a time for alumni to gather and celebrate football mania. The most dedicated tailgaters arrived as early as 48 hours before a home game. With their vans, cars, and motor homes filled with food, alcohol and family, they partied all afternoon await- ing kickoff time. Diehard alumni traveled from all over Florida and Georgia to partake in these parties. Lois Post, an alumnae from the College of Business, drove from Atlanta for almost every home game to tailgate. It ' s a great way to get my family excited about the game. There ' s something special about the way the fans show their support. I believe it shows through the team ' s success. It ' s a long, five hour drive, but it ' s worth it. Wayne and Marsha Tate, active boosters for the past fourteen years, traveled from West Palm Beach before setting up permanent res- idency in Tallahassee. Wayne Tate said, I come here every Saturday before a game, rain or shine. We ' ve had this particular spot (across from Tully Gym on Chieftian Way) for ten years. It ' s the positive atmosphere and winning team which makes us come back for more. Most tailgaters prided themselves in showing hospitality towards opposing team ' s fans. The locals invited them to have a drink or something to eat. We always invite people from the opposing team to join in our festivities. It ' s a gesture of kindness, said alumni D.J. Wright. Catie McRae, an alumnae from the College of Communications, said there was an ulterior motive for their hospitable treatment, We just want to make them feel better about losing.
