Oh the horror. So they finally get around to releasing Snuggies with college logos on them, which theoretically should be a huge success. But they took an “article of clothing” that any normal person would be timid about wearing in public, and made it more ghastly. Did they just hire the same designers who create the college hats and t-shirts that you find at gas stations and Wal Mart? There appear to be at least 4 different logos on each of those. Why wouldn’t you just put one gigantic logo on it? People already make blankets like this, all you had to do was add sleeves. But I guess it’s not all bad news. For those of you out there that already have shirts like this to wear in September you now have a way to keep warm in November without sacrificing your trademark style.

Before last Saturday’s Auburn/LaMonroe game I had the pleasure of discovering the Auburn Brew Club’s tailgate. When someone pulls a wheelbarrow by you with a cooler sporting 6 beer taps, it catches your eye. The Brew Club is a group of home beer brewers in the Auburn, AL area. They meet once a month to discuss brewing tips and sample homemade brews. The group I talked to seemed to consist of several current engineering students. Which would come in handy with their elaborate tailgating setup.
Though it’s available at Dick’s Sporting Goods, their double awning tent is the first one I’ve seen of it’s kind. We were so impressed we went out and bought one on sale for $200. I’ll have a review next week.
The focal point is obviously the the six tap cooler. I think I’ve had dreams about this before.
A second cooler contains the soda kegs (a.k.a. Cornelius or Corney keg) of home brewed beer. The tubes lead to the main cooler which also contains some sort of device that cools the beer quickly.
The menu is pictured below. If I remember correctly the Saison was a Belgian White Ale that was delicious. The guys were very happy to explain the process to us and even better they offered us all the beer we wanted.

If the Drunken Tailgater performs a keg stand, they shall not put forth a time under 30 seconds. Anything less is an embarrassment to yourself, your school, and your tailgate.
I love several things about this photo. First, the heart warming unity of Auburn and LSU fans working together in the spirit of the tailgate. It’s been a fiercely contested battle the last few years on the field, but there was a moment of cooperation off the field. The careful planning of the Auburn tailgater to tuck his spirit shaker into his belt. The little kid in the yellow shirt watching in amazement. And the spout holders’ combo of a gameday shirt and the camo LSU hat. Well done team.
