Epic Florida Tailgates: USF

Booze Factor- 2 \\ Boob Factor- 4 \\ Legitimacy- 3.5 \\ Aggregate- 9.5

The recognized spirit squad, Beef Studs and Babes, was started through the Honors College and through the college of Arts of Sciences. These loyalists that consist mainly of freshmen and sophomores are avid tailgaters that attend each every Bulls' football home game and the occasional road trip for interstate matchups and bowl games. What makes these hooligans special is that their attire consists of painting their bodies green and donning a Viking helmet and hula skirt. "It's really helped bring up more of that classic football feel," says alumnus Stephannie Ruiz,.

Blue Lizard Hookah

Even being a family run shop, Blue Lizard Hookah knows exactly what unrestrained students need for a good time. They carry a sick selection of hookahs, have a comfortable environment with mad couches to smoke on, some of the best art I've seen in Tampa, and their staff treats you right. Manny runs the place (a USF student), so they have a good idea of what the college crowd wants. Find live music on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and they're experimenting now with open mic night on Wednesdays. They just opened in November.

If you're a local band in Tampa, reach out to them for a gig... they're open to anything with a new lineup constantly. This week they shocased Andrew Delbekio (dba MY FIRST DAY) who killed it on the guitar. Last thing: board games galor... if you're into non-traditional entertainment, Blue Lizard Hookah is where it's at.  They have connect 4, checkers, chess, Moncalla, and more you've never heard of. So if you want, bring your own games/instruments/computers, make your own party and enjoy... Tell 'em back\slash sent you.
