We’ve mentioned our love of a travel bar before. But sometimes you need to be more portable or discreet. That’s where the Bar10der tool comes in. This all purpose bar tool features a bottle opener, corkscrew, channel knife, jigger, muddler, reamer, standard knife, stirrer, and strainer. Which should cover any type of cocktail you’re going to make out in the wild. The $50 price tag is a bit hard to swallow, but if you’re a hard core liquor person and always need a drink, this tool should serve you well.

Over the past year or so, the general love and appreciation of Solo Cups has grown by leaps and bounds. The strange “don’t ask don’t tell” drinking policy of The Grove lead to an Ole Miss blog being called Red Cup Rebellion. We’ve been no stranger to highlighting solo cup stories (here and here). Then Toby Keith comes along and writes an ode to the product that is just as quickly performed on Glee. Which makes sense, because beyond tailgating, the largest proliferation of solo cups in recent years has been to hide teenage drinking on tv from MTV’s Laguna Beach up to ABC Family’s Greek. In addition to music, we now have some pretty decent art saluting America’s most beloved disposable drink holder. More recently, using just a solo cup to drink from has become not enough. You can hide the fact that you actually prefer cans by drinking from a . And if you’re into showing off, you might fancy your wine out of a solo cup with a glass stem attached to the bottom.
I’m certainly no stranger to using solo cups and they certainly have their time and place. But I also wouldn’t go so far as to prefer them. I’ve been known to bring a pint glass to drink from a growler at a tailgate. And mason jars are a pretty good way to store and chill some liquor in a cooler while also creating a tastier drinking experience. So I’ll just disagree with Toby Keith on this one.
Now a red solo cup is the best receptacle
For barbecues, tailgates, fairs and festivals
And you, sir, do not have a pair of testicles
If you prefer drinking from glass – Toby Keith

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.

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?

Everyday Should Be Saturday and 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.””
