Hey Everyone! By now, most of you know that ALL 4 of our tailgate tents were stolen on Saturday night after the LSU game! Really stinks! Bill and I went to Walmart today and bought a new tent (Deuce, Cameron and Brooks and Melissa split it with us) and Bob and Anne also bought a new tent. Both are the plain khaki color tops, but are really nice and more than half the cost of the MSU tops, so we will just have to decorate with the flags. The Chambers are also going to bring their tent for next weeks game and might be a permanent fixture at the tailgate! At least they will all still match..even if they are not maroon and white!
So...with the horrible weather, the disappointing game and the awful people that stole four of our freaking tailgate tents, this past weekend can be put in the "we don't want to remember this weekend" book!
On to bigger and better things...Georgia Tech tailgate. As we discussed at the Shearers' house this past weekend, we have decided to do Chili dogs/frito pies, etc. for next weeks game.
The game starts at 6:30 p.m. and the plan is to get out there around lunch time (noon-ish). We will have all day long to enjoy the beautiful weather (hopefully). Right now, high of 76 degrees with a 20% chance of rain, so cross your fingers!
Food List and Needs:
Chili-- Bill and Jenny Shearer
Buns, Ketchup, Mustard, relish--Lynn and Mike Chambers
Hotdogs--Di and Martha Smelley
Toppings (shredded cheese, sliced or diced jalapenos, diced onion, black olives, etc.)--Deuce
Crackers or French bread (to have with just chili)--??
Desserts--??
Appetizers--??
Fritos (for frito pies)--??
Veggies/Fruit--??
Just a few ideas. We also need to have bowls and spoons, which I think Bob and Anne have at the house already.
Any other food is great, too! There is never too many tasty treats to snack on...especially with us tailgating all day long.
We will also have plenty of people to visit with. I am not sure of an exact number, but I think we should expect around 30 people at the tailgate...maybe a few more. I will try to post on here when I find out how many people the Barnhills are bringing. It should be a ton of fun! Can't wait to see everyone next weekend.
Leave a post if you want to claim something to bring! Go Bulldogs!
Hey Bulldogs...As an follow on to what Jenny said about the GT game, we also decided to make the Houston game(HC)Oct 10th an Oktoberfest theme. We have a group of friends coming from Ocean Springs and they are providing Bratwurst and buns and german potato salad. Martha is making red cabbage(rote kole)and I think I'm going to do a couple of pork tenderloins. Everyone else feel free to pitch and bring your favorite german dish or anything else you like for that matter. When in doubt, bring german bier!!! Dee
