We're looking at being in the Black Lot somewhere in the 10:30-11 range. Younger son Corey is joining me. Looks like we may have a few less people because they have other commitments. (How dare they go on vacation to Italy!!!) But still should have a good crowd. I did all the food prep for the last tailgate, so others are doing most of it for this one.

Whacha got?

Blue Lot - 11:30 or so, both my daughter(RU 2022) and son (current RU junior) are bringing 3-4 friends in addition to my wife and I.

Skirt Steak, Burgers, snacks. Anticipating a hot day so lots of cold mixed drinks(margaritas, daiquiris, whiskey sours) and various beers/seltzers.

Pre lunch: chorizo burritos & taquitos, pork roll/egg/cheese sandwiches
Lunch: Taco bar, Mexican Rice, beans, tostadas, empanadas & churros

Yellow lot at 10am. We're bringing our teensy pizza oven and firing pizzas all day. I may try baking wings in there too. Drink of choice is The Finnish Long Drink. Let's goooo!

Keeping it simple with pulled pork and salads.
Black Lot, 11:30 or so.
Weather forecasts already stressing me out.
I will NEVER understand why the POTENTIAL for a possible shower late in the tailgate (looks LIKELY to be dry tailgate and majority of game) in WARM WEATHER would ever "stress" anyone out. I just don't get it (ESPECIALLY on a PAVED lot).

I don't enjoy sitting outside when it is precipitating. If I did I'd work in the oil patch or did a career in the army. As it is, I work too hard to spend my limited free time getting pissed on.

You like it? Good for you, here's a cookie 🍪

My brother is attempting to make McRib Sandwiches. Evidently they sell the McRib Sauce & he is planning to cook ribs & pull the bones out. Will see how it turns out.

@AreYouNUTS, what time will you have the tequila samples ready? I'll stop by. I'm not an iced tea fan but 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

As a true olive-skinned Mediterranean (grandparents were all from Greece) I gotta ask: WTF is a "Mediterranean grilled meatball?" The "big 2" are Italian (polpettas) and Greek (keftedes) so help me out here??!! Sounds like - based on everything else (toppings) - these are Keftedes so why not just say "Greek?" Or do you guys put a twist on the traditioinal keftede recipe? Thx!!!

Bringing 4 friends from China who will be attending their first major college football game. Tailgating at 11am, pep rally, boardwalk and hopefully dry pregame show and first quarter so they can get the full experience

lol all good! I’ll try to swing by at some point and taste test!
More than welcome to stop by. Probably going to start grilling them around 1130-1200. Tailgate partners bringing fried chicken to get us started. Hope the weather holds out. Hope to see you tomorrow. We are there every week. Enjoy your Tgate and game regardless.
