tailgating chronicles

The opening Thursday of college football season was weird. Devoid of any key matchup and full of schools playing on Thursday so they could be broadcast online at espn360 espn3 WatchESPN.com. Then there was the debacle of Western Kentucky playing a home game against Kentucky in Nashville, TN on a Thursday. But like most opening weekend games, it was an even mix of prime time programs and cupcakes getting their 15 minutes. Here are the photos to prove it.

Oh you’re not using that ketchup dispenser? I have a semi practical use for it.

There are many a Chippewa fan in Mount Pleasant that dropped the ball and didn’t figure out a way to invite this girl to their tailgate.

Temple and Villanova both apparently play football in addition to basketball. I haven’t bothered to fact check this, but it’s possible they play for something call the Mayor’s Cup or something like that. It’s Always Sunny should start sponsoring this game to coincide with the start of their new seasons. Anyways, props to hardcores who tailgate and presumably watch that display of athleticism.

Murray State made the trip north to play instate rival Louisville. No word yet on whether the Racers will be hosting the Cardinals in a rematch next year in Nashville.

What’s worse than taking a picture of a bunch of sorority girls tailgating? Apparently nothing if you ask the “frattastic” young man from Eastern Kentucky that was charged with snapping a pic of this group of girls. Either that or he’s telling them that they are #1.

Per the AJC:

Tents can come back at North Campus. Slightly bigger tables are also allowed – up to six feet long. And the celebrating can start earlier, five hours before kickoff instead of the four. But fans still can’t bring grills.

So less driving around town trying to find a place to park and more of this

I’ve used Crown Royal bags to hold my iPod and it’s accessories before. But I have to admit I never thought of turning them into a blazer. So bravo to this resourceful LSU fan. On a different observation, most of the SEC has embraced the Solo Cup as a tailgating necessity. It’s slightly evident here and definitely in person that LSU fans side with styrofoam cups at a shocking level. I guess it’s a Louisiana daiquiri thing or something.

Don’t Be That Guy

If you’re not conscious for the game, then you didn’t tailgate. You just happened to get blackout drunk. Tailgating is drinking before attending a game.
