Trying for an undefeated home season, and don't get a single night game. Well we're cooking a damn pig anyway. Looks like we'll be firing up the grill Friday night at Dowd's, transporting porky to Clemson in the shadows of darkness, and serve deliciousness all day long.
Feel free to bring a side dish and/or donations. It's been an awesome year, let's close out the home schedule in style. |

Only two home games left in what is turning into a unbelievable season! This weekend, the powers that be decided that an undefeated Clemson should play UNC(5-2) at Noon. That's right, Noon. So get to town early, 'cause traffic will be flowing slowly starting around 9 a.m.
On this weeks' menu is Tiger Tailgating Chili. Hopefully enough to feed any and all the Tiger faithful that can drop by. We will also have a bunch of hot dogs, Grappo's mac n cheese, and various other items to munch on before, during, and after the game. So bring the family, a cooler and some fresh vocal cords to cheer on our Fighting Dabo's! See you on Gameday!

Man that was some good eats on Saturday. Kudos to Dowd for coming up with the idea to host a make-your-own pizza day at the tailgate. An excellent time was had by all. I know I must've sampled a dozen different pizzas throughout the day. My favorites were Grappo's Meat Lovers that was about 2 feet high, and Bill's Apple Bacon Cheese with the sharp cheddar. Good stuff.
Thanks to everyone who brought ingredients, and who contributed. See y'all in 2 weeks for the baby blue sheep massacre.

The History Channel will be in town Saturday for the Clemson-Carolina game filming a documentary about great Southern Traditions, and will be dropping by our tailgate between Noon and 2pm. We are pretty psyched about this and are ready to impress them with a fantastic tailgate.
Here are a few notes from Cliffy as we prepare for our "TV Worthy" tailgate.
- Please make every effort to be there by noon.
- Please encourage all of your friends and relatives to be there also.
- Help keep things clean. The grounds, the trash cans not overflowing, etc.
- Try to keep the cooler farm nice and orderly.
- Be sure to wear orange.
- If you bring any random people, make sure they know what is going on as well, so they won't be disruptive or disrespectful during filming and make us look like yankees at an NFL game.
- We want our food to be especially pretty in addition to being good. Pay attention to presentation of snack foods and side dishes. Let's avoid plastic bags, boxes, or pre-packaged cookies on the tables. Bring what you like, but bring something to serve it in.
- We will have seasonal decorations (flowers, gourds, pumpkins, hay bales, party lights) feel free to bring more. Night games/tailgates need lighting.
- If you have a dish with a story, be ready to share the story.
- Our focus is on family and friends gathering for each game.
We'll be cooking 3 meals for the all day affair. Breakfast TBD probably eggs and bacon. Chicken, venison, and sausages for lunch and a pig for the big pre-game dinner.
It's going to be cold. If you have a ready heater bring it. Bring a hot beverage if you wish.
Side dishes (esp. veggies) are always welcome. So are donations. Help us put on a fantastic show on Saturday, and Go Tigers! |
