We're not doing anything this week. Everyone enjoy the morning off.
However, I would like to pose the idea that we bring back the Chili cook off for the Tech Game. Hopefully it will be at 3:30 and chili will be a good break from all of the Thanksgiving regulars.
GO DAWGS!!!
This is going to be short and sweet. Since we are facing another 12:30 kickoff plans will be minimal this week. We're going to do BBQ again and we'll eat before the game.
The cost wil be $5 and feel free to bring some snack/sides.
No plans for post game since there is nothing but crappy football on until 7:45.
Sorry this is so late...
We will be having BBQ, ribs and chicken on Saturday, and we will be serving both lunch and dinner at the tailgate. The price will be $10/person plus booze unless you bring your own.
Please bring drinks and side dishes on Saturday.
It would be especially helpful if you would post what side dishes you're planning on bringing in the comment area just below this post. If you don't know how to do that or aren't comfortable doing that, email Tiffany. We'll be tailgating for almost 10 hours, and we're going to need some help with the sides to make it all work.
(NOTE: I updated the blog settings to allow anyone from our group to comment without registering with Blogger.com. So commenting should be easier).
Also, weather on Gameday should be exceptional. As of Tuesday morning, Weather.com is predicting a high of 74 degrees and an overnight low of 50 degrees with only a 20% chance of rain on Saturday.
Go Dawgs

No, we didn't join the Big 10--but with all the early kickoffs it does feel like it. We'll do a tailgate similar to last week's, with breakfast-type foods and no plans after the game.
Also, we will plan to use a bicycle lock to lock the tents and chairs together after our red "G" tent was stolen last week. Check here for a preview of Saturday's game.
Due to another early kickoff we are going to crank it down a knotch this week. We will be out in the morning with some snacks and stuff and I will bring the TV to watch Gameday. Other than that we will not be officially cooking or having any other meal that day.
Have I mentioned how much I HATE early kickoffs. I'm not sure what we'll do for next week's early kickoff but we'll let you know as soon as we decide.
Well everyone, it's that time again. Since we'll be in the horrid town of Columbia for most of the day on Saturday I figured we better have some good food.
Our menu will include:
Tequila Lime Chicken with Ranchero Sauce
Bourbon Chicken
Twice Baked Potatoes
Baked Beans
Sweet -n- Sour Green Beans
We are planning on some other snacks and sweets to get us through the day.
I've got the water and soda beverages covered as well.
Elizabeth is doing the baking and has everything covered in the sweets category.
The cost for everyone will be $10.
Go Dawgs!
Confirmation on the plans for Sat. AM. Everyone is meeting at the McDonald's in Greensboro (I-20 at GA 44 , exit 130) between 8:30 and 8:45. Then we have to pick up Adam in Augusta off Washington Road.
Let me know if I have forgotten anything...
What better way to let everyone know about our tailgating plans than create a blog? Bookmark this site, and we'll post updates before each game. Please feel free to make suggestions, menu requests, or whatever.
Under the totalitarian regime new gameday gameplan, tailgating begins at 7:00AM. Official rules can be found here. We will make sure someone arrives at 7:00AM to claim our traditional spot at the Coliseum and set up. Kickoff is at 12:30PM, so pre-game tailgating will be brief. We plan to have breakfast and snack foods.
Post-game tailgate plans call for grilling chicken quarters and pork tenderloins, while watching the afternoon's games.
What can you do to help?
1. $5 per person will help us cover the costs of providing meat & sides. If you plan to drink, bring extra money or BYOB.
2. If everyone brings a 12-pack of their favorite soft drink or water, we will stockpile them for the season and bring the drinks for each game.
3. Bring a side or snack that can be easily stored or kept in a cooler during the game.
Saturday's forecast calls for 87F with isolated early showers, clearing later in the day. At this point it looks like Ernesto will spare us any serious bad weather.
Be prepared for difficulty finding a parking space, particularly if you plan to arrive later. Because no parking will be allowed on curbs or sidewalks, there will be more cars fighting for fewer spaces than ever. Consider carpooling, and prepare yourself for the ugly fact that if you come late you will probably have to park at the Intramural Fields or East Campus Deck. If you have not done so already, you may want to consider buying a space in a deck for the rest of the season. Passes go back on sale September 9 for the remaining 6 games. You can buy a pass here.
My mother wouldn't nurse me, and that is why I am such a miserable, petty man.
We're less than one month away from the start of football season. Here's a look at coming attractions for the 2006 season:

The new tailgating policies have nothing to do with alcohol consumption and everything to do with fundraising.

The Ultimate Tailgater's 2 Minute Drill
This is a podcast from the American Tailgaters Association.
The Podcast is nothing but common sense, but I just thought it was cool that there was an association for tailgating. More video podcasts can be found on their website. I guess tailgating season is at a low right now so there is not much going on over at this website. But maybe it will get crankin' more towards football season.
More interesting Tailgate websites:
Barbeque University - Great recipes, but the only thing I don't like about this guy is that he uses BBQ to refer to grilling. Well we all know that BBQ must involve pork and smoke. Otherwise a great site.
Show airs on GPTV during the summer
Boy Meets Grill - Chef Bobby Flay This show is full of great ideas and you can get all of the recipes from the Food Network site. 90% of the time he also includes a cool cocktail recipe to go with the meal. He believes that the chef/griller should be well prepared to take the heat of the grill.
The Commissioner of Tailgating - Good Tips and interesting coverage of tailgating throughout America. Although his trivia section is wrong. He says that the world's largest tailgate party is GA/FL. True... but we refer to it as the WLOCP. Then he says the game is on Sunday... Come on Commish - College games are played on Saturday.
