Horns up !
As most of you know, and if you don't..just take a look at my pic...I LOVE THE TEXAS LONGHORNS.....we are alumni and we do bleed orange. We try as often as we can to get back to Austin - we hope to move back that way soon - we especially like to go when the horns play football. This past weekend we went down and attended the game. We have an amazing group of peeps that we tailgate with. If you have never tailgated....you are missing out.
Our tailgate was featured and won tailgate of the week, two years ago with ESPN. We do know how to tailgate and is with everything in TEXAS...we do it BIG. This past Saturday, CNN was at our tailgate and spent the entire day with us. In October, they will be airing a documentary on "southern tailgates". We were his pick of all the tailgates to spend the day with. AWESOME ! He was a great guy, interviewed everyone, talked, ate, joked - if was as if he was one of us.
You can't have tailgate without food...and our tailgate does not lack in that department....
bacon wrapped jalapenos
stuffed pork tenderloin
shrimp stuffed jalapenos
Stuffed pork tenderloin, brisket, brats, chicken wings, shrimp, stuffed dove, sausage balls, beans, potato salad, jalapenos, tortillas, chips, dips, cakes, pies, cookies....you name it, it was probably on the table...
No tailgate would be complete without beer. Each year we have a sponsor. This year is a appropriately named....
How freakin' cool is that...actually it is Boulevard beer.......
We, of course, attended the game. I just love college ball. I love all the traditions and the shenanigans that go on with all your peeps around you.
The alumni bad was on hand. They are 500 strong. The largest in the nation
...duh, it is TEXAS!
This is the alumni band showing off their 75th year!
WE WON ! 45 - 0 and when one of the sports at UT win...they light the tower.....
Sunday, we headed to a really cool little place for breakfast. It was featured on Drive-Ins, Diners and Dives...
The CORNER CAFE...a very small, with extremely GREAT food...
WHAT A GREAT WEEKEND.....

Looks like you had a blast. I have never been to a college football game. Truth told, probably only a half dozen high school games. If there were tailgating I might go. Found the games too long and boring.
ReplyDeleteWe always have fun at the tailgates. You should go to your nearest college on game day and just walk around. You would surprised by what you see and how friendly the tailgaters are. I agree - the game can be boring..but as alumnis....it never is for us!
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
