30A & Destin | Football

SEC & ACC

The Emerald Coast and Southern football love

Here in Destin, FL and along 30A, the football love is still alive and strong. On a typical saturday night during football season, you'll find just about every local bar packed to the rim with sports-jersey, yelling-at-every play, let me buy you a beer fans. You'll also see who has the biggest t.v. on the block, as their driveways are usually overflowing, with a game of friendly beer-pong going on in the cleared out garage. 
As the Seminoles have taken the ACC championship, and the Crimson Tide have taken the SEC once again, the bandwagoners and diehards alike wear their jerseys and car flags around with a sense of southern pride. 

Along 30A, you'll find that on the weekdays, the football pride is harder to find, as many of the communities are elegantly clean and the community have ordinances that keep the big 'team spirit' flags out of view. But, nonetheless, walk into Bud and Alleys' in Seaside on a football night, and you'll be greeted with a 'Roll Tide!', the Florida State Chant, or the Gator Chomp almost every time.

In the "Beach South", college football is alive and well.
