Homecoming Recap - Texas Tech

As loyal followers/supporters of TEAM Tailgate, you have come to appreciate that an 11 AM kickoff means a wire-to-wire tailgate. Add in the Homecoming spectacle, though, and we feel obligated to take things up a rung.

Pop quiz: You ever set up a tailgate at 6 AM? I mean, you ever wired a complete audio/visual system with surround sound? Yep ... proper gear is in order! Hey Johnny Spelunker ... eat it. Nice work, Jeff D.


We've always thrown our chest out there a little bit, thinking our setup was pretty top shelf. Well ... MTB's buddy, Tom, did us a little favor and quietly reminding us the game can always be taken to another level. Umm ... yeah. This gear won't quite fit inside the Jayhawk van, gonna need it's own trailer.




Let's get up close and personal with this bad boy. Six burner grill with more BTUs than a 747! See those smoke signals coming off this puppy? Yep, full side box smoker with enough capacity for multiple smoked meats! And finally, no your eyes are not deceiving you, that is a freaking deep fat fryer! Done and Done.

A deep fat fryer!?! The possibilities are endless, right? Well ... today's menu called for crawfish pies. They did not disappoint - brought some Cajun fury. (Go get yourself some of that green Louisiana Jem sauce. You're welcome.)

There's something about a grill loaded up with Krispy Kremes that gives the crowd that extra skip in their step.

Just a picturesque day in Lawrence, Kansas.

The weather Gods were shining down ... the football Gods? Not so much.

See ya October 15th.
