Back in the early 1980s, a group of us Husker fans went to a game at Auburn. The frat guys were all wearing sport coats and ties and taking dates to the games back then. Everyone was very nice to us red-wearing out-of-towners, even though we were rooting for the other team. Same treatment at Baton Rouge, Tuscaloosa and Starkville, all campuses we visited on the same roadtrip. The only one who wasn't nice to us Huskers was Bo Jackson!
"According to several sophomore members of Auburn's Sigma Nu chapter, the best quality to look for in a date is that she makes a good "babysitter" (read: she will take care of you if you get too drunk). Others say the best dates won't mind doubling as bourbon-transportation vehicles. (Taping a flask to a date's leg is, by many accounts, another age-old Southern football tradition.)"
