THANK YOU!!!

I just wanted to get a quick note out to everyone to say thanks for all that you did to make Saturday's tailgate a huge success.

The sides were awesome and we had plenty of food to feed everyone throughout the day. Thanks for taking the time to bring sides and helping us make our tailgate a great place to hang out.

Saturday was a perfect example of why we do what we do for tailgates. It was an amazing day!

Thanks again for pitching in and bringing side dishes and we hope to see everyone at the Tennessee game. Kick off has been announced for 3:30.
Beef Brisket and Brunswick stew are on the menu.

MENU: Georgia vs. Alabama

We're serving smoked Ribs and BBQ on Saturday.

For a tailgate of this length, we'll be eating both lunch and dinner. Bringing side items is huge help for our tailgate. Everyone that pitches in with items like that helps make our tailgate the resounding success that it is every year. If you plan on bringing something just leave a note in the comments section.

Some food suggestions:
  • 2 Gallons of Baked Beans - You don't have to buy or make 2 gallons. But if you buy or make a gallon and someone else can do the same, we're set. Sonny's BBQ sells good Baked Beans.
  • 1-2 Gallons of MacNCheese - If you don't want to make it, Publix sells it. 1 or 2 people bringing MacNCheese helps.
  • Green Beans, Tater Salad, Stew, Etc are all great fits. Whatever sounds good with Ribs or BBQ.
We'll have the Big Screen TV on bright and early. Some of the TV selections include:
  • 10:00 - ESPN College Gameday
  • 12:30 - Ole Miss at Florida
  • 3:30 - Tennessee at Auburn
We'll also flip over and keep our eyes on UNC at Miami, Arkansas at Texas and others.

We're looking forward to seeing everyone. If you're bringing a side, please post a note in the comments. If you're bringing extra guests (which we welcome), please give us a heads up as well.

Georgia vs. Alabama: Richt calls for the Blackout



Saturday is going to be awesome. Kickoff is at 7:45 pm, so I'm pretty sure that we'll be eating two meals with tailgating starting around 8:00 am. Early weather forecasts are incredibly promising with temps around kickoff in the mid-70s.

We'll post menu information soon, but I do know that it's pork based. Begin thinking about side dishes now because we're going to need a bunch of them to make it through two full meals.

Night Game + Blackout + ESPN College Gameday

Campus will be out of control.

Central Michigan Tailgate Plans

Update - We're watching the weather closely. I don't think Hurricane Hanna is coming our way but we'll post any change of plans for our tailgate here.
The 3:30 kickoff this week means that we get to have a full day of tailgating. The main item on the lunch menu will be Margarita Chicken. If you've ever had it at Chili's then you know what I'm talking about, but this is much better. We'll be grilling on site this week too.

Gameday will be on at 10:00am but we'll be there before that to set up and enjoy the morning.

Southern Miss vs. Auburn will be showing on the big screen at 12:30.

Bringing side items is huge help for our tailgate. Everyone that pitches in with items like that helps make our tailgate the resounding success that it is every year.
If you plan on bringing something just leave a note in the comments section.

We seriously need everyone to bring a side dish. We need baked beans, potato salad, green beans, etc. Anything that sounds like it would go well with a chicken dish.

The more visibility we have into who's coming and what you're bringing, the better we can plan. We're excited to have all of you, and your guests! We're looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday.
