Before their season was sidetracked by Notre Dame, Michigan State fans managed to get in some quality tailgating. We at Drunken Tailgate always want to encourage girls to shotgun beers and play cornhole.

Surreal LSU Tailgating

Last week we posted a video that portrayed USC tailgating like a montage from The Hills. This week brings us a look at LSU tailgating by the Baton Rouge Tourism Board. And much like a day tailgating in Baton Rouge it has that weird psychedelic voodoo vibe to it. Like a LSD scene in a movie. I have no idea what the coordinated rowing dance is for but it’s a perfect match for the soundtrack music by the Brass-a-holics.

What’s Become of Vandy Tailgating?

VandyBubble is getting all nostalgic and asking about the disappearance of some aspects of Commodore livin:

Whatever happened to dressing up and taking dates to tailgates?

This is an age-old Southern tradition that has apparently gone to shit at Vanderbilt. Some bubbleheads might remember the pressure leading up to their first tailgate to have some fresh frat gear and a smokeshow arm ornament to flaunt around in the Nashville sun. Now, guys are out smashing beers on their skulls and tailgating at the asscrack of dawn in basketball jerseys, while girls dawdle around in their suites till 3pm with heavily photographed, but lightly alcoholic Andre pregames. We’re not saying that it’s wrong, but what happened to tradition?

Tailgate Reading: SEC Safety Reminders

in links,tailgate reading

Everyday Should Be Saturday and @celebrityhottub bring you some helpful safety guidelines for SEC conference play. My favorites:

“Fans are reminded that referring to any alcohol illicitly smuggled into the stadium as “Top-Relf Liquor” will NOT prevent your ejection by security.”

“The Vol Navy is a valued part of Tennessee tradition, but please stop telling Holly Rowe you’re promoting her to Rear Admiral.”

“Fans, please do not give any money to Matt Jones. He is not just using it to “get his mind right and turn things around.”"

Top Tailgating Schools

This month’s copy of Tailgater Magazine includes a ranking of the top 20 tailgating schools. You can read the full article here with snippets about each school. People love to complain about the top tailgating lists,and I certainly have my issues with this one. But to me, you can only rank what you’ve experienced. Which means only a handful of people in the nation can really create a definitely list. In my opinion there are three aspects that should be ranked. Size, Uniqueness, and the actual Game. Any campus that isn’t jam packed with tailgaters gets pushed down. You need a unique food, tradition, or setting. And finally, the game needs to mean something. The stadium, the competition, everything must be an event. So many years from now when I’ve crossed off 20-30 campuses, I’ll present my thorough list. Until now, settle for Tailgater Magazine’s:

20 UCLA
19 Georgia
18 Penn State
17 Colorado
16 Michigan
15 Oklahoma
14 Arkansas
13 Texas
12 Wisconsin
11 Alabama
10 Oregon
09 Auburn
08 Notre Dame
07 LSU
06 Tennessee
05 Ohio State
04 Washington
03 Clemson
02 Florida
01 Ole Miss
