Another year, another reason to tailgate ...

I posted this last year, and got quite a response. It's that time again: How popular is tailgating at high school football games, and who has the best food? I've seen more of it this year than ever before. Bishop Amat throws the biggest party, but Glendora throws a mean party too. Charter Oak had a small thing going on Friday, which is similar to what I've seen at other schools. Is this a growing trend? If they're tailgating at your school, tell us about it. And if you want to invite your favorite sportswriters, go ahead.

....Hey, I'm not biased. I might be a Bruins fan, but 'SC fans are welcome here too

Fred,

It is football season again, and that means Tailgating! What began as a few sandwiches and beers before a game has launched itself into an American sports tradition. Drop the tailgates, set the grills ablaze, and stick to your pre-game rituals - or maybe its time to try something new.

Winlow Products would like to introduce Funky Colored Flames to all of the tailgaters out there. Light up your campfire, drop a packet or two onto a well-established fire, and start your own pre-game show. Made of food-grade salts and sulphates, Funky Colored Flames are non-toxic and environmentally friendly, and offer a brilliant display of blues, greens, and purples to make your next tailgate party the best one ever..

Funky Colored Flames are available at WalMart, Target, and Camping Worlds across the country and retail for $4.99/box of 3 packets. Are you interested in a sample of Funky Colored Flames?

Ken went to a minor league baseball game at cal state fulleron and you're right...there were girls waiting for players...some with signs!!!! and no they weren't GFs if you know what I mean...maybe these girls are in the minors as well and trying to make it to "The Show" down the line...or maybe they love baseball!!!! lol

I seem to remember last year when this thread came up, that more than a few bloggers threw in a few very funny one liners in here.

Anyway, are these girls actualy students of Troy, or are they trying to sell birth control devices ?

Because, for what it's worth, if it's the latter rather than the former, well, as a true Catholic, I have to say that I am compleatly against Trojans in general....

This is not a competition.

no fans tailgate like Bishop Amat fans

from ribs, to sirloin, to carne asada...

and if you miss it...genuine In & Out burgers during the game.

Fred only has to walk the BA parking lot 1.5 hours before kickoff and he will get seriously hooked up.
