The biggest day of the year for southern schools who like to tailgate, Carolina Cup occurred again this past Saturday. There is always a lot happening at this event, and every year something new happens, but there are also the staples that just seem to happen every damn time. Here are 10 things you always see at Carolina Cup:

1. Pastels. Pastels everywhere.

An absurd number of boys wearing salmon pants and bowties, and girls covered in Lilly Pulitzer and Seersucker.

2. Spilled Drinks.

You practically can’t go to Carolina Cup without either a.) spilling your drink on someone or b.) having someone’s drink spilled on you.

3. The Cup Police.

Be careful or you’ll get run over by the Carolina Cup police on their golf carts. These guys are always looking around checking for underage drinking and other shenanigans.

4. Frat Flags.

You know the expression, “let your freak flag fly?” This is kind of like that, but instead features giant fraternity letters displayed over tents that go for miles.

5. Speaking of which, white tents.

There is a sea of white tents at the cup which makes it very easy to get lost if you get turned around. Solution? Keep drinking and make new friends I guess.

6. Someone going missing.

Every year someone just goes MIA. Cause? Drunk people wander. End of story.

7. Someone getting “arrested.”

Carolina Cup jail is like this mythical place where drunk people (underaged or just belligerent) find themselves on this eventful day. Except that it’s very real.

8. Drunk people.

Drunk people always. It’s a four-hour tailgate, did we expect anything different?

9. Dance Moves.

The only better thing than intoxicated people doing dumb things, is when they dance. I suppose the liquid courage brings it out of them, but people at Carolina Cup dance like no other. It’s amazing and hilarious.

10. Horses?

This one depends on whether you’re doing Carolina Cup “right” or not which is subjective, but they are there, and if you see one, good for you!
