"Sometimes she'll make sausage biscuits for the trip," he said. Most of the time he shares cooking duties with their Lake Greenwood pals, Pat and Marlene Lowe. The three get together and try to figure out who'll be joining them and what they'll have to eat. "Pat and I fix it together," Brothers said.

Scott and his younger brother, Brandon, 13, join their dad for the games and often bring a gang of friends along. Cambridge coach Ray Tackett is also a regular aboard the RV when it heads to Clemson games. Brothers said he began tailgating in the early 1980s. He knows exactly who'll be eating in the parking lot at Clemson because most of the ones with RVs have reserved spaces. He said he usually starts game day off at 6 a.m.

by gathering up grocery items at Winn Dixie. If he's not taking his own, Brothers and his entourage might stop at Godfrey's Market for some ham and sausage biscuits to eat on the way. "We normally eat before the game," he said of the group's main meal. "This week, we carried the grill up and did hamburgers and hot dogs, he said, "sometimes, we'll grill barbecue chicken." As accompaniment to the chicken, the group will usually have baked beans, potato salad and rolls. Other times, when they want their chicken fried, somebody stops by Kentucky Fried Chicken and picks up a few buckets.

"Sid Lee's barbecue, hash and rice" is another meal they might take along with them. Brothers said. "Once a year, we'll have Frogmore Stew," he added. A handy fold-up table serves to hold the main courses and all the fixings. To add some color and mood a bright orange plastic Clemson cloth is used to cover the table.

Lawn chairs provide seating. Brothers and his gang are advocates of paper plates and plastic cups and cutlery that make cleanup a breeze. "I like those paper plates," he said.
