Jock Schools

Mississippi State.
Nobody knows exactly when folks started parking their vee-hickles behind the leftfield fence at Dudy Noble Field and taking in Bulldogs games as they would a drive-in movie, but in 1987 the school decided to cash in on the phenomenon. The Left Field Lounge is now a designated area of nearly 100 rental spaces ($100 to $150 per space for the season), two-deep, that fill up with cars, pickups and even torn-out bus seats carried in by students. Some fans fire up grills; opposing team buses are often delayed in leaving while players load up plates with barbecue for the trip home.

Texas-Arlington.
Texas Hall is a 4,200-seat theater that houses the school's dramatic productions. A basketball floor is laid down over the stage before the hoops season, and "Break a leg!" is replaced by "Don't tear an ACL!"

Texas.
Put up just your pinkie and your index finger and your message is clear: Hook 'em, Horns.

If you can't appreciate the swaggering gait and Churchillian physiognomy of UGA V, the Bulldogs' bulldog, you must be a cat lover.

O.K., so you're a cat lover. You'd purr for Leo II, a nine-year-old male lion whose outdoor caged compound is located only steps from the student union. He's considerably better behaved than his predecessor, the original Leo, who during a 1974 photo shoot nipped Miss Alabama on the posterior (or, as she put it, "punctuated" her visit).

The Hawk is required to flap his wings ceaselessly from the moment the St. Joe's basketball team takes the floor until the game ends.
