The Drunken Tailgate

Crazy Tailgating Pants, Skirts, and more

March 9th, 2010

Whether you spotted them on John Daly, the Norwegian Curling team, around campus on gameday, or at the links…. you’ve probably seen Loudmouth Pants before. Thanks to South Bend Seven for helping us put a brand name with these ridiculous pants. I’ve noticed a trend towards the more outrageous in tailgating pants lately and these certainly fit the bill. In addition to the pants, Loudmouth also has coats for the guys and skirts and short shorts for the ladies. The color combinations cover the tailgating needs for many major programs like Florida, Texas, Ohio State, LSU, and North Carolina. And for the Bama fans out there they have houndstooth ties, coats, pants, shorts, skirts, and even divot tools. To see if they have your school’s colors check out the site.

An Apartment Divided?

March 3rd, 2010

Most of you who have been to other tailgating sites or been on a college football message board have seen the following photo of what appears to be two UGA fans.

What you rarely see is the second photo that reveals that one girl is actually wearing a black Texas Tech jersey. Neither logo appears to be photoshopped. So what’s going on here? Are either of them fans or did they just grab matching red and black jerseys at the store? Are they an apartment divided? Do they make flags or license plates for that?

Tailgating Recipe: Grilled Mediterranean Sandwich

March 1st, 2010

grilled-mediterranean-sandwich

Foodthinkers.com has a good recipe for a Mediterranean Sandwich that you can prepare at home and then heat up on the grill for an easy tailgating solution. After ignoring it for most of my life, I’ve recently realized that few things go better with beer than salami. A lower quality salami gets you a fair amount for $3-5 and is still tasty enough to do the trick. You’ll probably need to find an Italian market to pick up the bread and specialty cheese.

Mediterranean Sandwich

Ingredients

1 Turkish bread cut into 6 equal sections
butter
18 slices of genoa salami
6 bocconcini (Buffalo Mozzarella), sliced
1 cup pesto sauce
1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in half
Olive Oil

Directions

Cut the bread sections through the center and set aside the top halves. Lightly butter the inside of both halves. Divvy up the salami, bocconcini, pesto, and tomatoes evenly among the sandwiches. Put the tops on and wrap. Put in the fridge if they’re for a future date.

Once you’re tailgating, rub olive oil on both sides of the sandwich. Put it on the grill and heat each side long enough to the let the cheese melt a little and get the bread warm and toasty.

Gameday iPhone Apps

February 26th, 2010

Because the stress of following your team on gameday already feels like Terrance Cody sitting on your shoulders, it makes perfect sense to add another heaping ton of stress by laying money down on a few other games. Or so I’ve convinced myself over the last decade. As a betting man who is tailgating or inside the stadium, the iPhone has become a necessity. There are two main apps that I’ve relied on the past couple of seasons to keep me updated and level headed. The first is Score Mobile and it’s free. There are a lot of apps out there that will give you a scoreboard. What’s great about Score Mobile is that the college football lines are included in the days overview schedule along with the times. You can get the line and the over/under and if you click on each game you’ll also get updated with injury reports and other previews.

The second app is also free and called College Football Live. What I like about this app is the quick ability to create a list of your favorite teams. Which we all know is who you bet on that Saturday. So instead of sifting through the top 25 and then trying to remember what conference UTEP is in, you can just create a list of the 5-6 games you’ve got action on. This is the fastest way to check only the scores you care about once you get inside the stadium. Which is an issue since most of the stadiums I’ve been to have significantly slower than usual connections.

Beer Pong for Charity

February 23rd, 2010

beer-pong-for-breast-cancer

In theory the Portopong table makes sense. It’s easy to transport and could open the game up for playing in a pool. But personally I have a problem with any beer pong table that has fitted cup holders. It simply makes the game too easy. Heavy cups or slotted positions make the sides of the playing cups too rigid and thus simple to make a shot. So I’m giving it a no dice for tailgating purposes. If you were playing in a pool or lake this advantage would cancel out the movement of the table due to waves. Though we haven’t personally tried out this product we’re mentioning them here because if you purchase one of their pink tables they will donate $5 to the Keep A Breast Foundation. The tables are $50.
