This weekend the air is becoming brisk. And if you listen closely, you can hear the sound of marching bands playing football fight songs.

Nowhere are fans more rabid than in the South. Georgia, Oklahoma, LSU, Mississippi, Florida, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and of course, the Crimson Tide of Alabama.
