The Ten Southern Football Party Schools You Wish You Went To

Alright everyone, so as you know from em kay tree, I am going to be the new college sports guy on this Swag Sold Separately Steez. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be posting conference previews, top 25s and all that cool shit.

For now however, for all of our day drinking, booze loving, sundress staring sports fans. I have compiled a list of ten southern schools that we are all going to wish we went to this fall. Get out your lax pinnies, snapbacks and fresh shades fellas.

Not only do these schools get real weird each Saturday, they also boast the cheapest beer, best looking women and most exciting football teams in the country. So while, I'll be sipping a warm Keystone Light out of a Dunkin' Donuts cup at Boulder Field like a pussy this fall, students at these schools will be having the time of their lives.

10.) West Virginia University Morgantown, WV

Let's play a little word association, I say WVU, you say: Burning Couches. How classic is that. West Virginia was the #1 party school in 2008 and these boozebags in Morgantown can drink with the best of them, and they prove it each and every Saturday.

Being in downtown Morgantown, you would never know you were in hick ass West Virginia. The abundance of bars and clubs is where the students get shitty before each game. Not to mention for all of the kids who aren't 21 or somehow couldn't get their hands on a fake, Grant Street and Spruce Street boast some of the craziest house party tailgates you'll ever see.

I will leave you with this, can you think of anything better than getting all liquored up, and singing your school's unofficial anthem by no other than John Denver after a big W?

#9 Clemson University Clemson, SC

Clemson is the only school I've been to on this list, and lemme tell ya, its a shitshow. The bars on campus were all packed the Friday night before a Saturday game. The RVs with all the southern die hard fans were getting rowdy and playing music as well. On gameday, the amount of gongshows around campus should be illegal. I've never seen so many smokes in orange in my entire life.

The thing about Clemson is that its half southern die hard football fans, and half New England assholes who just all love to booze, it makes for some great times.

Not to mention, when it finally is game time Clemson has a tradition that will make you want to make it to the stadium in time for kickoff, touching Howard's rock and running down "the hill" is one of the coolest sights in college football.

#8 Florida State University Tallahassee, FL

The reason FSU gets so many props on this list is mostly because of their students. FSU sells the most student tickets out of any school in the nation. Therefore, you know the entire campus just loves getting after it on Saturdays. And that tomahawk chop chant, yeah that's not bad either.

The 'Noles had a 37 home game winning streak from 1992-2001. That's Unreal.

Not to mention FSU is a perennial contender each year on the hottest student body surveys that playboy, maxim and all those other mags do. I think Brett Favre knows one of the alumni? Dick Pics? That's right, Jen Sterger, the "Brett Favre" girl, started teasing football players right here at Doak Campell Stadium.

Oh and by the way, if the Seminole planting a giant flaming spear into the ground doesn't get you fired up, then you don't have a pulse.

#7 Ole Miss Oxford, MS

You know, Ole Miss take a lot of shit, their mascot was racist, they are usually at the bottom of the SEC, they wear dress shirts and ties to games, and their only claims to fame are Eli Manning and the movie The Blind Side.

But, these goofy southerners know how to rage (#5 party school in the nation in 2010). Have you ever heard of the grove before? Yeah me either until now. Apparently its the best tailgating area in the country according to SI...fuck me right? Thousands upon thousands of people rush this area to set up tents at 5 o'clock Friday. The party goes on all day and night before the game. Sounds sweet right, well then, the football team does some shit where they walk right through the tailgate, saying hi to thousands of hammered fans. Cue dixie baby.

Oh, by the way from here on its only SEC schools, buckle up ladies and gentleman.

#6 University of Georgia Athens, GA

You're not gonna not put the #1 party school on this list. Yup, UGA barked their way to #1 on Princeton Reviews top party school list. I wish UNH could get back to #7, fuckin Durham PD. Anyways, if you told me I was going to go watch a football game "Between the Hedges" I'd look at you crazy.

But Georgia is a friggin party on gameday. They, like FSU are notorious for their women. And these girls invented a new drinking game when Smirnoff Ice came out, Ice Pong. Kinda gay, but alright I like the effort. (Whatever happened to brosicingbros.com btw?)

You know you're a football party school when one of you're games is known as "The World's Biggest Outdoor Cocktail Party". Every year, when Georgia plays Florida in Jacksonville, the two rabid fan bases make for one of the most badass, southern tailgates of the year. (Think colonial clash, just better)

#5 Auburn University Auburn, AL

The 2010 Natty' Champs are #6 on this list. You wish you went to Auburn, you wanna talk about swag? Look at their recently graduated QB Cam Newton. Dude asked for loot to play there, probably got it, won a title and peaced. You don't fuck with that kind of swag.

Auburn has two traditions that stand out from any other school. The Tiger Walk and the TPing of the tree on Tumor's corner. Here's a classic story, you know how crazy football is in the south? Some asshole from Alabama poisoned it, this past year, who does that?

The Tiger Walk may be the coolest walk in all of college football. Mind you, these fans have been drinking since as early as Thursday in their RVs (always a good time). All of the sa-rahwr-uh-tee girls set up this tiger walk, that goes all around campus where these smokes lead the football team around. Booze, women, and football, leggo.

Oh, and the war eagle entrance isn't the worst thing in the world either...

#4 University of Florida Gainesville, FL

You know your fanbase is boss status when your stadium is nicknamed "The Swamp". Florida has had unbelievable success over the past few years with 2 Natty' Ships (06,08) and a 56-11 record. Alright, now enough of this on the field bullshit.

Who is the coach who led the Gators to two championships? Urban Meyer? Fuck no, Bourbon Meyer! UF students put this shit in Gatorade (get it) coolers to drink by the gallon on game days. It consists of two things, 2/3 bourbon and 1/3 sweet tea. I'd be on the ground.

The bars in Gainesville are sick because they are right next to campus and less than a five minute walk from the stadium. So whether it be tailgating outside, or posted up at the bar, the fans get real liquored up before they watch their Gators in the swamp.

#3 University of Tennessee Knoxville, TN

What's the best college football fight song? If you didn't just say Rocky Top Tennessee than you're a fuckin lame-o. Every Saturday a bunch of drunken students sing this shit all day and night for Vols games.

What other school has a friggin Navy to represent their tailgaters. The Volunteer Navy, is a bunch of crazy tailgaters that post up in their boats and get shitty along the Tennessee River.

That's just a small part of the Saturday shitshows in Knoxville. What is the drink of choice for students and alumni at Vols game, a little Jack Daniels! What drink better than Tennessee's own JD Whiskey, woof.

The funny part about Vol's games is that the team has pretty much sucked lately. However, this is still one of the craziest football atmospheres in the entire nation. If the Vols can ever get back onto their 1998 level, shit will be crazy.

#2 University of Alabama Tuscaloosa, AL

I know this will be MK3's favorite post. 2 Words baby: Roll Tide! (y'all didn't even know he was a virgin until he was 28...and now? Roll Tide)

Your 2009 National Champions, your 27 time SEC Champions, the Crimson Tide have arguably the best coach in college football: Nick Saban. Oh and by the way, since Saban's been at Alabama, the tide are 43-11.

The tailgating in Tuscaloosa starts at 6 o'clock on the main quad on Friday night. This isn't some off campus bullshit, these kids booze in the middle of campus for almost 24 hours before a game. Bama was ranked the 13th biggest party school in 2010, which people viewed as a bigger screw job than Tyrelle Pryor's recruiting package.

Bottom line is, when you think college football, you think Bama', these fans are as passionate as they are fun and it makes for a hell of an atmosphere each Saturday.

#1 Louisiana State University Baton Rouge, LA

This blog won't even give Death Valley the full credit it deserves. LSU is the loudest, funnest, and toughest stadium to play in, throughout the entire nation.

Here's a fun fact: these motherfuckers caused an Earthquake. In 1988 the Tigers beat Auburn 7-6, when LSU scored to take the lead, this stadium was so loud that it registered an earthquake. Are you shitting me? A fucking earthquake, wow. That probably explains why LSU has a .713 winning percentage at home during the night.

These Bayou people can party, each week they make the food of the team they are playing against. How about some Gator stew or duck gumbo? These southerners don't fuck around.

LSU is also a proverbial member each year of the top party school lists. These kids just get at it all day and all night, drink lots of beer, eat good food, and make some loud noise, making them the top dogs of southern college football schools.
