Long Overdue

TEAM Tailgate was watching that abomination of a game on Saturday ... truth be told, the game was DVR'ed and actually caught up on the action about an hour after kick-off.  Wow.  An entire hour of our lives that will never be returned.  Ever. 

Oh well ... it got us thinking.  It's all about the Tailgate.  Has been for years ... could be for many more.  Was doing the fine followers of this Blog (yep, all 8 of you) a disservice; no updates, no pictures, no good times.  Unacceptable.  Please accept this Photo Dump with our deepest apologies. Sure, the Win column continues to be bleak, but the good times continue at Eleventh & Mississippi and that just ain't changing ...

GAME #2 vs. RICE

The calm before the storm ...


The early crew ...


Busting out a new appetizer for this game ... our guys at Fritz's make a killer summer sausage!  Pair that with an extra sharp cheddar and you're in business.



The main culinary attraction of the afternoon was pulled pork.  It's as easy as 1 ... 2 ... 3.  Finale shot with some spicy slaw courtesy of Oklahoma Joe's. 



The biggest surprise of the day ... How MTB didn't get a truck load of MIPs served on this crew.



*Side note .... Worst. Shirt. Ever.  This weekend was the beginning of the end for the "In Crist We Trust" era.  Yep, it lasted 2 effing games.  F me!


GAME #3 vs. TCU

Jeff. D.
Boss.


Broke in the newest member of TEAM Tailgate.  Beer pong table ... Big Ups to Clark Wilson on the craftsmanship! 


A couple new culinary gems whipped out for the 11 AM kick-off ... a.k.a. Breakfast Tailgate!

#1 - The Exception.  Cinnamon bread, PB, honey, & bacon!


#2 - Cinnamon/Raisin bread, cream cheese, & bacon! 


And ... without further ado.  Sign of the Day.  Hands down!


 ROAD TRIP - JAYHAWKS STORM DEKALB

Yep, TEAM Tailgate took their show on the road.  Unfortunately, we still lost.  Oh well ... good time nonetheless.

Friday night pep rally.  We're a pretty big deal.


Minutes before kick-off ... Baby Jay luck would not pay off, nor would an impromptu tuba session from Dr. Morris.  





GAME #4 - OKLAHOMA STATE

Oh, how the Football Gods have been drilling us for multiple season.  Sure, we can't win a game to save our lives, but then we can't even party in decent weather.  LOT 96 shut down via e-mail on Friday Night!  Omaha!  Omaha!  Audible called ... and the monsoon just drilled us all day in Lot 56 on the West side of the stadium.  Horrible.


We tried to make the best of our new surroundings ... even fraternizing with the visitors from Stillwater.


The new flavor explosion of the week ... Squealers!  Ground chuck & bacon formed into a patty.  Your choice of cheese ... American or Cheddar.  Got both working here.


So ... This Saturday is Homecoming.    Not any ol' Homecoming ... 100th year of homecoming.  Who's with us?  TEAM Tailgate will be getting after it like it's 1912.  Let's party.  Seriously.
