UL-Funroe Tailgate

Tomorrow we’ll be at the spot bright and early, rain or shine as always.  What else do you really have to do in the morning other than come sit under the tent, kick back with a bloody or a mimosa, with the fans blowing across your face,  2 tvs hung in the air thanks to Bo Staples, and enjoy the sights and sounds of our beautiful campus?  Only 6 more times to do this until next year, folks.  Might as well maximize your tailgate.  And get a great parking spot.

Team 2 is setting up at 8am and they’re rumored to have something special setup for the kids.  The food is being led this week by TJ Woodard and we’re happy to announce that this is our annual FRY GAME.  We’re rolling the double barrel deep fat fryer out and if its edible, its getting battered and dropped (however we DO NOT do this in support of Ray Rice).  We’re also featuring a special entree this week courtesy of Matt Thomas that we’ve never had in our 8 years of tailgating – Frog Legs!

Entree’s:  Chicken Wings and Frog Legs tossed in Buffalo, Parmesean, and BBQ sauces

Apps:  Mushrooms, Pickles, Boudin Balls, French Fries and anything else we can batter up.  Oh, and a TUB OF RANCH.

The diets start Monday, folks.  Hope to see y’all out there.  Bring the kids.  Geaux Tigers!

SAM HOUSTON STATE TAILGATE

The first home game of the season is upon us.  It’s been a long off season and we can’t wait to get back to campus and see everyone again.  We’ve made a few upgrades to the tailgate this season that we’re sure you’re going to like.  As always we will be out there bright and early.  Team 1 will be setting up at 8am and we plan to rock all the way until midnight.

The new “Food Committee” is happy to announce the first menu of the season.  Rory Lato is the head chef for week 1 as he’s providing the entree’, Smoked Brisket, for the tailgate.  The menu:

Smoked Brisket, Baked Beans, Mac & Cheese & Potato Salad

Appetizers: Boudin Balls, Hot Sausage, Chips & Dip

If you take photos at our tailgate this year and post them to Instagram be sure to use the hashtag #pgatailgate and your photo will post right to this site (you can view them all on the left).

We hope to see everyone out there early tomorrow.  Geaux Tigers!

Pictures will be uploaded soon.  If you have any, please email them to pgatailgate@gmail.com

 

The Houston Kickoff Party was a huge success as over 500 people attended and had a great time.  Cajun Traditions Catering provided more than enough delicious food to keep everyone happy, Dan Borne rocked the patio, and Lawson and staff at the Capitol Bar provided an awesome atmosphere for us while keeping the drinks flowing.  We can’t say enough how much fun we had there – when the Tigers go back to Houston, you can bet we’ll be back with our friends at Capitol Bar!

Thanks to all who attended.  Give us some feedback on the event.  What did we do right, what can we do to improve these parties in the future, etc.  We hope you all enjoyed it, and look forward to seeing y’all across from the indian mounds!
