The event lasted about two hours so brothers could go to their regular tailgating areas or visit with other friends before the big game.  Although the Gators lost, the brothers of AZ started the day off ...

Knowing this, members of Alpha Zeta took it upon themselves to give a hand to the personnel that so desperately need it.  The Zoo is trying to reestablish its seedbed area, but it was covered ...
