They've eaten sweet sauces and dry rub, ribs and sandwiches, cole slaw, potato salad and banana pudding. "You want sweet tea with that?" a waitress asked at Dreamland Bar-B-Que in Tuscaloosa, stop No. 17 on the journey.
After cleaning their plates and licking their fingers, the group would leave each joint with bulging bellies to document their experience with stories, photos and video posted on a blog and the Web site they built, southernbbqboys.com. Those components, along with a final essay each one is currently finishing, are being graded by the English instructor who helped them design the class.
So what do you learn in such a course? Eat enough barbecue and you'll gain weight, get sick, or both. And 3,100 miles is a long, long way to drive for dinner in a 1998 Ford Expedition with a plastic pig's nose attached to the front.

Want fries with that?
The course was designed to rigorous academic standards (We went to Byron's because Auburn women are hot) and maintained a high level of scientific inquiry. It was pretty catholic in its scope, comprising Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. They visited many well known places (Corky's, Neely's, Lexington #1, etc) and a few lesser known places. Got most of the styles in pork, although they left off Maurice's Piggy Park on their plan outline.
