Damn!  Amazing.  Wish I could be there for this one.

Bringing three with me. Trying to explain it’s a tailgate with strangers from the internet has brought much skepticism. 

Where ya'll set up at? FOX 4 hot and UT Alum Peyton Yager said she will stop by. I'll pay for her tix.

I may be several hours ahead of the field...

I'm completely overwhelmed and stressed out this is the last one I'm doing without major changes. 

One of the best days I’ve had was moving far enough away to no longer be responsible for our tailgate. It is absolutely stressful and exhausting. Those were the few years where I wasn’t really excited for season to start. We have a core group that is responsible for dedicated tasks, and a group email to decide what to eat. It also helped that we culled our group from about 200 down to about 30.

With road games coming up it should give you some time to find people that come to every tailgate that would take up responsibility for different tasks. Someone for tents and their storage, someone for tv sets and their storage, someone to pick up meat, someone to pick up booze, etc.

Let's whiteboard a list of tasks next week, or whenever you can. Start delegating some things. 

Easy for me to say now but just an idea.

That being said, I know I'll see you smiling over piles of meats today.

I'd be willing to contribute.   Live in Circle C and could purchase alcohol, bring TV, operate stick burner, etc.

I hate you all...

You're the Hero this site needs but may not deserve. 

I posted in the wrong thread….  I’m coming in hot win or lose after the game. 

@immamac have you thought about cooking everything off site and bringing all the bbq cut up and ready to serve to the tailgate ?

Yeah the game really did ruin an otherwise incredible day. 

I'll never forget seasoning a bunch of chicken unexpectedly in the parking lot and tossing it on the smoker. I don't know the handles of the posters that helped me but it was hilarious and awesome. 

Rolling six trays of pulled pork and wings through the crowd from the smoker down to the tailgate was the highlight of my day. Well elfenix did the hauling while I did my best to keep the trays from falling off the cart.

Got a few holy shit that smells good, and you guys are brave rolling that through here comments.

@immamac @BornAndRaised are the heros but unlike Gotham we don't deserve them

Much love to you amazing gentlemen I am off to Amsterdam so I can't make the Vanderbilt game however anyone who is going if you are driving....

Sunday morning breakfast at Loveless Cafe then head down the Natchez Trace for as long as you can

It was a pleasure meeting you Friday night and then hanging out during the game. Safe travels.

 

For everyone who joined us yesterday, I hope it was the best fucking tailgate you’ve been to. There was a lot of people helping out a lot and that sense of community and all hands on deck is what makes doing them so fun. Didn’t get the result we wanted on the field, but I’d say all the full bellies and sufficiently liquored up brains were equipped to handle either outcome.

Hook’em!

There’s a lot of talk and consideration going on for future tailgates. At present big shit like fresh barbecue is only done for giant games. Definitely something to look at moving forward though.

I'm happy to bring the traeger to the Florida game along with Survivor so as long as we have electricity we good

The wings worked out pretty well! That was me and @elfenix

thanks for an amazing tailgate!

Great tailgate fellas! Only was able to stop by for a little bit but my guests enjoyed it and asked what the plan is for Nashville as a few of us with our wives will be there next weekend.

So my main issue currently is food. Catering is outrageously expensive and getting food in on time for the games is an issue. 

I'm having to prep and cook everything and I can't cook on site because of UT rules. I have thought of doing an electric plancha/griddle but they need 3 phase electricity which is stupid and makes battery power a lot harder.

Hey @immamac did Peyton Yeger show up??

Blackstone?

If it would help, I can dig through my old tailgate files for recipes that can be made off site easily, and transport well.

A lot are intended for large batch type stuff.

Doesn’t help the big game stuff like Saturday, but may be of use for other games.

 

Perhaps Surly could get a catering sponsor. Put their name on the banner at the tailgate and a link to their site here.

Show them the math on the traffic here then maybe we get free shit. 

Who knows.

FWIW Nashville Texas Exes will be at Kung Foo Saloon.

Going to Nashville but as of right now no plans to go to the game. The plan is to try to watch somewhere on Broadway or near Broadway. I know that not all places have the SEC network so I will start making some calls this evening. First I will find out if the Kung Foo Saloon carries the network. Note: They said they will have the game.
