Be Your Own Tailgating Dee Jay

November 29, 2007 in Tailgating Ideas

In the old days, playing your favorite music meant you would burn a CD of your jams and then play it on your car stereo. Now with the new technology of iPods, Zunes and other MP3 players, playing good tailgating music is fairly easy. But what types of music go well with the overall tailgating atmosphere? Well, you are in luck because we were recently contacted by Alex “RaiderHater” Chavez, a die hard San Francisco 49ers fan and an avid tailgater. He suggested a selection of tunes to play at your next tailgate and we were happy to share.

Tailgate Grilling Safety Tips

November 28, 2007 in Tailgating Ideas

Safe Grilling TechniquesThey don’t call you “the Grill Sargeant” for nothing. You know your way around the grill like MacGyver knows how to make a tank using a stick of chewing gum and barbed wire.

Tailgating Video: The Louisville Chugger

November 27, 2007 in Tailgating Games, Videos

Every now and then we come across a tailgating video that is just too good not too share. This time around it looks to be a classic demonstration of how to perform the tailgating game “Louisville Chugger”.

If you couldn’t tell how the game is played by the video, here are the basic steps you will need follow in order to play “Louisville Chugger” at your next tailgate party:

1. Take a plastic wiffle ball bat and cut off one of the ends. (preferably the handle end)
2. Pour in a can of beer or two.
3. Chug the beer from the bat while friends time how long it takes you to finish. They can use their watch but most just count out loud how many seconds it takes you to pound the beer.
4. Once the beer is all gone put your head on the bat and make as many revolutions around the bat as it took seconds to finish the beer. (i.e. it took you 8 seconds to chug the beer, you now have to make eight spins around the bat.)
5. Have a tailgating neighbor toss the empty can at you so that you can try to hit it.
6. Hilarity ensues.

Sorry folks. No one ever said tailgating was above moronic and childish behavior.
