““We’ve said it before, but football really is a religion in our neck of the woods. Southern football is much more than a pastime, it’s a way of life. For true blue Grits, football schedules take precedence over weddings, funerals, births, and most every other life event. In fact, no self-respecting Grits girl would ever schedule her wedding during football season, unless it’s an off week, of course. In some circles, it’s even considered impolite to die within two weeks of the big game.””
