Border War Preview

First off, Happy Turkey Day to our extended Blogosphere family!

We hope you can join us for the last Border War of our lifetime. Remember this ... someday, you will have grandkids. And someday, said grandkids will hop up on your lap and ask you "What was it like when KU played Mizery in football?"

Yep ... do yourself a favor and participate on Saturday! Because at the end of the day, I'm certain you'll want to go into detail about how much you crushed with TEAM Tailgate during the last Border War game ever ... right?

It's safe to say that Arrowhead is set for a collision course on Saturday ... This place about to blow!

Baylor Recap

Lawrence tailgate finale was pretty much par for the course ... TEAM Tailgate continued to bring the thunder, and the KU Football team continued to find new ways to add to their losing streak. Bravo on both fronts. Won't waste any blogspace recapping the colossal 4th quarter melt down, but it's worth documenting some of the day's tailgating happenings.

We gave you a little teaser earlier in the week of the limo being properly Christened! Well, here she is in all her glory. Ladies and Gents ... we present JAYHWK1. Amazing!

Thought we could hand out a few end-of-season awards ...

PERFECT ATTENDANCE AWARD. Week in, week out ... this trifecta is automatic. Jeff D., MTB, and Uncle Tim. Great season, boys.

LONGEST TRAVEL DISTANCE AWARD. According to Google maps, Seattle, WA to Lawrence, KS logs in at 1,926 miles. It's nice to know that TEAM Tailgate has loyal followers spread all over the US of A. Well done, Bruce.

Just as an added bonus, Bruce schooled us with his PacNW outdoorsman knowledge, too. Bloody mary, check! Pork loin & swiss croissant sandwich, check! A properly tethered tent, check! Well played, kind sir.

MVP AWARD. It's quite simple, really. There are tailgates WITHOUT a subwofer ... and then there is TEAM Tailgate and this bad boy. Pound-for-pound the undisputed champion of 11th & Mississippi, no question!

Here's the deal: Saturday, November 26th. Arrowhead. Border War. Open Invite. We party.

Always Doing Work

Yup ... TEAM Tailgate has officially been on ice for two weeks now. However, for those of you who know us well, it's not like we have just been lollygaggin' around during the non-tailgate weekends. Nope. Doing work, per usual.

First off, limo was officially dedicated by Jeff D. & MTB. Applause.


Classic.

Secondly, recipe testing is always a favorite pastime of ours ...

#1 - Mediterranean Flat-bread

Ever been to Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder? Great eats! Now, you just have to make your way over to Meadow Lane b/c it is being replicated (perfectly I might add) at Dreiling Mansion. Behold.




#2 - Tomatillo Pulled Chicken Sammies

Shredded chicken + homemade tomatillo-garlic sauce + Jack cheese + Torta = Feast




The final Lawrence tailgate of the season is rapidly approaching ... hope to see you all there on Saturday. 1:00 p.m. kick-off.
