Week 2 Recap - Northern Illinois
After a debacle of a tailgate to kick-off the 2011 campaign, TEAM Tailgate did some soul searching over the last week and got back to our roots. What follows are the ingredients to an A+ tailgate and good times in Lawrence on a football Saturday ...
Got the DeLorean out and Jeff D. dialed up this legendary throw back
Breakfast of champions right here
Solid group shot of the early crew. Surround sound? Check! College Gameday? Check!
Over the years, we've all come to appreciate that MTB is a man of many hats ... yep, we'd like you to meet MTD (Mike the Driver). Bravo.
TEAM Tailgate welcomed Jason as a guest smoker this week to dazzle the crowd.
This Baron of BBQ did not disappoint. The mass quantities of brisket, pulled pork, burnt ends, as well as ribs were an instant crowd pleaser. Here is a shot of his glorious rack!
Always on the lookout for new culinary improvisations, TEAM Tailgate created a nice synergy with Jason's BBQ spread. Behold ... a true FOOT LONG from our guys at Fritz's, sprinkled with pulled pork and slathered up with BBQ sauce. Hot damn! Collaboration at its finest!
No matter how off-the-charts a tailgate is, the game often dictates if the party will continue. What a freaking game! Our stable of Clydesdales at the running back position continue to turn heads. James Sims = Man!
Although TEAM Tailgate is officially on ice until Homecoming (October 1st), we're revved up for Georgia Tech this weekend down in HOT-lanta. Rock Chalk!

Week 1 Recap - McNeese State
Jayhawks ... 1-0.
TEAM Tailgate ... 0-1. Now, don't get us wrong, we brought the fury early and often. However, the equipment and Mother Nature just didn't hold up their end of the deal.
Although it has become our calling card over the years, first arrival status just doesn't get old. Operational by 7:30 a.m. for a 6:00 p.m. kickoff. Dominate!
Let the comedy of errors begin ... Perhaps the Jayhawk van ran thru a Haskell Indian burial ground on the way into Lawrence, but we were jinxed from the word GO. After 45 minutes of College Gameday viewing with ice cold beer in hand, BOOM! the TV blew. First thought ... maybe the generator was bad? Solution? Jeff "A/V guru" Dreiling secured a replacement generator with enough juice to power Memorial Stadium from nearby Anderson Rentals ... Bravo!
Still nothing. Maybe we need a new TV? Solution? Jeff "A/V guru" instructed afternoon crew to purchase a new TV and haul up to Lawrence ... Bravo!
Nope. Unreal. So, we huddled around the 15 inch Sat-Go screen and watched games. We stress "huddle" because this is about when rain storm #1 rolled thru forcing the masses under the tent. Good times ...
The food, though, was on point. Three ... meal ... tailgate!
Breakfast sammys - Ham & Swiss on croissant
Spicy Buffalo chicken sammys w/homemade blue cheese spread
A loyal Blog follower in the Fort Worth metropolitan area suggested some "cowboy" burgers to foreshadow the domination of McNeese State "Cowboys". Good call. Burgers w/sharp cheddar, chopped bacon, and jalapenos.
Back to this electrical cloud/Poltergeist wrecking havoc on the tailgate. Theories were flying around ... maybe the Jack Donaghy-inspired GE 3-in-1 crock pot pulled too much juice?
Regardless of the cause, we guarantee all systems go for Saturday.
Finally ... the game. Jayhawk Nation lost perhaps its most dedicated, devoted, wear-it-on-their-sleeve member on Saturday. RIP Coach.
Impressed with the freshman. Could have some real players. D needs some work.
Huge game on Saturday. See you at 11th & Mississippi.
