A Gamecock Gal's Guide to Auburn

 We'll be heading to Jordan-Hare stadium this weekend to watch our Gamecocks take on Parker's Auburn Tigers. We actually love Auburn and although we haven't quite been convinced to live there {sorry, P!}, we think it's a mighty fine place to watch a ballgame. As for all you Gamecocks that are visiting for the first time, you're in for a treat! Night games are awesome at Auburn and the fans there exhibit some great hospitality. However, before you head to the game, take some time to explore. We've created a fabulous guide to our second favorite college town just for you. Enjoy and Go Cocks!

Eat
Momma Goldbergs: This is not even an option. If you come to Auburn, you must have a Momma's Love and an order of nachos! To put it in perspective, Momma G's is like the Groucho's of Auburn. The place is a hole in the wall and gets packed on Saturdays, so you might want to get it to go.

Toomer's Drugs: Famous for the lemonade, Toomer's faces the corner on campus that the student's TP after a victory. Hopefully, some of that paper will still be billowing in the breeze after last week's win over Clemson.

Byron's: P is a barbeque aficionado, so we are going to defer to his expertise. His choice? Byron's: a long standing supporter and barbeque supplier of Auburn Athletics. Other notables: Mike & Ed's and Barbeque House.
