I realized that my notions of tailgating are not UGA's notions of tailgating when the only dish I could think of at a tailgate was "cheap beer in plastic cups" and I couldn't think of anything else you'd tailgate for, period.
"iced tea" in my mind is different from cold herbal teas
HA! YOU HAVE BEEN ASSIMILATED.
More seriously, the "what cultures are represented" question felt really out of place to me -- it's a right/wrong trivia question, not a "survey says!"
UGA's notions of tailgating are EPIC. It is a lifestyle.
Huh, "iced tea" in my mind is different from cold herbal teas, for example.
Yeah, the only flavor sweet tea should have is from a slice of lemon or some mint. I will drink flavored teas, but I don't think of them as traditionally southern.
I have eaten at a Varsity! In Atlanta. I am ashamed that I put Paula Deen as a Southern chef, because I am not a fan, but I didn't figure anyone would know the other ones I would name (Mildred Council aka Mama Dip from Chapel Hill or Mrs. Wilkes from Savannah).

Pretty sure hot dogs are what you go there for.
My brother's been paid $100 to "guard" tailgating setups (with flatscreens set up to get satellite, gas grills, generators, serious gourmet grilling spread, oh, and free beer) for Alabama football games while the fans go to the game. He eats and drinks himself stupid.
It's football. It's Alabama.
And I still can't remember which team belongs to which city/collegiate institution, or who he's suppose to be rooting for. My nephews have definite preferences. And only one was born there (but the other only spent 2 years in TX.)
Oh man! I should've put in Mama Dip. (I put in Alton Brown's Mamaw.)
That was fun!
I picked NASCAR for another thing you'd tail gate for. And here in St Albans practically a short jaunt from the Canadian border I've found TWO restaraunts that have fresh brewed sweet and unsweet tea! One even has grits, although I have not tried them.
I'm thinking Paula Deen is going to show up as the famous Southern chef but I picked Jeff Besh.
I put Paula Deen, AND I LOVE HER.
