That’s a wrap!
Well the football season ended with a whiper, but the tailgating season sure didn’t! We hope everyone had a wonderful time tailgating this year, and we’re already starting preparations for next year. A big thank you to everyone that helped set up, tear down, or even come around to socialize. We would always host the tailgate even if it was just four of us, but the bigger our group gets, the more opportunity we have to get creative.
Stay tuned to this site and our Twitter account (@deadMBAtailgate) for more information about some exciting changes we have coming for next year, as well as plans for the 2017 road trip to Florida!
Turkey for me, turkey for you, let’s eat some turkey from a big brown shoe…
This will be our last game with LSU on Thanksgiving Day, but it won’t be our last Thanksgiving themed tailgate, I guarantee you that! We will try to have food ready by 2, but as usual will have to play some of the preparation by ear since this usually ends up being our largest tailgate. We will have a few traditional items, but what makes this tailgate fun is that it usually turns into a ‘potluck’ as people bring a dish that really makes them think of Thanksgiving! That said, let us know what you’re wanting to bring (or feel free to not bring anything and just pitch in), that way we can keep this list updated and coordinate so that we don’t have 15 people all bringing yams… For planning purposes, we usually have about 30-35 adults at the Thanksgiving tailgate.

Northgate Tailgate
Time to take the weekend off from the work of tailgating and put all our focus into drinking! Follow @deadMBAtailgate on twitter for live updates as we move around Northgate (if we do), at least until cell phone service stops working. We will likely start at The Corner Bar, since they’ve got some good Bloody Marys from past experience.
