Pre-Game Rituals:

✦ Tailgating: The heart of the atmosphere, sprawling tailgates fill the air with grills sizzling, music bumping, and laughter echoing. Stock up on barbeque, toss a pigskin, and get swept up in the Dawg Nation's pre-game frenzy.

✦ Hedging: Don't miss the unique tradition of "hedging," where fans rub their hands for good luck against the hedges lining the stadium perimeter. Remember, clockwise for home wins, counter-clockwise for revenge!

✦ The Whoof: Join the collective howl as the "Dawg Walk" commences, with players and coaches parading past the roaring fans, igniting the electricity before kickoff.
