It's the season all students from a SEC school wait for: football season. Tailgating in the SEC is like going to a family reunion; like the aunt you never see, but tells you all these stories about you from your childhood.
1. The pledge
This poor kid thought that being in a fraternity meant access to whatever he wanted. He sadly finds out that being a pledge meant sober driving around campus to pick up actives, and if he's lucky, catching bits of the game.
2. The too-excited freshman.
This is the kid, who never went out in high school, due to his parents' short leash on him. He didn't understand that having five-plus shots in an hour will hurt in the morning. He usually manages to make it to the game, and you can find him, passed out in the most random position possible.
3. The alumni
The alumni are the adults who loved Mizzou so much, that they have season tickets, cap overnight to home games, and still hate Kansas. Regardless of their age they'll always be there to see their Tigers.
4. Biggest fan
This is the student that you see for a few minutes in the early hours of the morning grabbing a Coca-Cola, then goes back to the tent set up outside before the 6 p.m. game. They've only been front row to every home game since college and as close as possible to the 50 during away games without getting kicked out. They tend to be unrecognizable due to the copious amount of paint on them to show their Tiger pride.
5. The one who doesn't know what's going on
This is the person there for the free food, drinks, and wants to finally understand football even though half of the time they'll be taking selfies in the stands, even though its halftime.
6. The average student
Usually upperclassmen, so the "newness" of tailgating hasn't stunned them and their liver remains still intact. They tailgate for a few hours, head to the game, and leave after singing "Old Missouri."
7. If you're lucky you'll see this beloved tiger
