MSU vs. Alcorn State- Saturday, October 2

What an incredible game we had against Georgia!!!  Can't wait to see us win again this weekend when we play Alcorn State!

The weather is supposed to be incredible for this game.  Highs in the UPPER 70's and lows in the LOW 50's with ZERO percent chance of rain!  Finally, football weather!!!

Kick-off for this weekend is at 11 a.m.  So...let's plan on setting up between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m.  

As for food, let's discuss...

By the way...the food at the Georgia game was OUTSTANDING!  I don't think there was anything left by the end of the game!

As for Alcorn State...
We need something to eat BEFORE the game, but we will definitely need lunch AFTER the game since I am sure most will want to hang out, visit and watch a little football after we beat Alcorn State!  So...if you want to plan on bringing a little something for breakfast and then a little something for lunch, that would be great!  Just remember...the majority of people will be coming to the tailgate after the game.

Here are a few ideas for BEFORE the game...Chicken/Sausage biscuits from Chick-fil-a, McDonalds, or Bojangles, the makings for bloody marys/or mimosas, donuts, muffins, sausage balls, breakfast casseroels, etc.  Bring whatever you want.

As for AFTER the game, we could always grill something out or order something from McArthur Hall.  Either is fine.  What do you guys think?  We could look into ordering something and come back with a price/person.

***UPDATED***
This is what people have volunteered for so far...

- Anne and Bob: Cheese Grits
- Cameron and Brooks: Donuts/Pastries (before game), cookies (after game)
- Mr. Rainey: Smoke Salmon
- Bill and Jenny: Chili
- Dee and Martha: Jumbo Hotdogs and Buns
FYI...if you know someone at our tailgate that would like to be included in this blog, just let me know their email address and I can add them to the list, so that they can be included in our tailgate gameday discussions.

If you cannot post on this blog, just email me back at TJW31651@aol.com and I will post for you!  Can't wait to see everyone Saturday.  Go Bulldogs!

MSU vs. Georgia

The last two games were a little tough to watch, but all we can do is move forward!  Let's discuss Georgia for Saturday, September 25 at 6 p.m.  Another night game!  We are really getting lucky!

The WEST side will wear Maroon and the EAST side is in white for this game! If you are on the side with the MSU football team in front of you, you are on the WEST side. 

As for the food...any ideas as to what we can do??? Let's discuss and I will post once we decide!

According to the forecast right now, it looks like it will be another hot one (90's), so let's take that into consideration.  Also, if anyone wants to plug in a crock-pot, we have that capability now!

UPDATE:
Bob and Anne are going to cook several pork tenderloins and bring rolls for sandwiches.

Vaughan and Drew Holland (Bill's sister and husband) are also coming to the Georgia game and are going to bring a cookie cake.

That's all I have for now!

MSU vs. Auburn

What a way to start our season!  49-7 Mississippi State...I love the way that sounds.  We had an amazing time at our first tailgate AND game! The food, the people, the weather and the game all turned out perfectly for our first game.  Let's pray we get that same combination for the rest of the season!

Let's discuss the Auburn game...
Kick-off is at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 9.  This game is a Maroon Out, so wear your maroon!  I don't know about you, but I was pretty impressed with all the people that turned out in their white shirts.  I barely saw anyone that wasn't dressed in white!

According to campus rules, we can start setting up our tailgate at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday. So, I am sure we will be out there before that time in order to get our spot!

As for the food, we have ordered Grilled BBQ Chicken for 30 from McArthur Hall.  Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think we have that set up to be delivered to our tailgate at 3 p.m.  Everyone else, bring sides or whatever to go along with that.

Bob bought a new and bigger generator this year with 4 electrical outlets, so we do have capabilities to run crock pots if needed.  This might open up a few new food ideas for the season.

We will see everyone in 4 short days! 

Reply to this post with what you want to bring. 

P.S.  Those of you that normally reply to our posts, could you please reply and let the others know how you do it.  I talked to a few people who were confused on how to reply.  I would give instructions, but since I am the creator, I have a feeling that my way of doing it is a little different.   Thanks!
