Plan Your Fall Around These SEC Games

From tailgating to the final few nail-biting seconds of the game, football season brings us a thrill each and every weekend. There’s nothing quite like football in the South. Southeastern Conference football is a culture of competition, to be sure, but it’s also about community and tradition, two things we Southerners hold in high regard. When the air turns cool, we know to pull out our team gear, because SEC football is taking the field for thirteen long weeks. That’s where you’ll find us, bedecked in our team’s colors, cheering for a touchdown from the bleachers (or, sometimes, the living room). Tune in or get your family to the gridiron this fall for a few of these can’t-miss, legendary SEC football match-ups, all leading up to the conference championship in December. Find the full week-by-week SEC football schedule at secsports.com to ensure you never miss a game. Plan your game-watching or tailgating party in a snap with a little help from our team-inspired recipes.
