Memo to NCAA: Make Beach Volleyball An Official Sport

July 31, 2008 in Tailgating Ideas

Avid tailgaters, especially college students, will tailgate before any type of sporting event. Lacrosse, fencing, swim meets, you name it. College kids aren’t just tailgating before football games. With that in mind I would highly encourage the NCAA to consider adding beach volleyball to the list of sports officially sanctioned. To back up my claim that people will come out and support the sport, I provide visual proof this sport has fan appeal.

The NCAA is considering adding the sport although they are calling it ‘Sand Volleyball’. I don’t care what you call it. I’d definitely break out the grill and cooler and tailgate before any of these matches.

Homies Can’t Make It to The Tailgate? Pour One Out Without Wasting A Drop

Last week we introduced you to the iBeer, where you can turn your iPhone into a virtual mug of beer. Now comes another iPhone app that allows you to honor your dead homies without wasting any beer. 40cozy.com has developed the Pour1Out.

Kind of reminds me of this scene from Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood

My Prayers Have Been Answered: Johnsonville Brat Burger

johnsonville_brat_burger.jpgBrats and hamburgers are as common a sight at tailgate parties as bored husbands at the mall. Burgers and brats are delicious in their own right but sometimes you have to choose one over the other. Now you don’t have to. Johnsonville, well known for their bratwursts, have now introduced the Johnsonville Brat Burger. You read that right. A delicious bratwurst in the shape of a hamburger patty. Why it took someone this long to come up with concept, I will never know.

Slap a slice of cheese on one of these bad boys and you can literally hear your arteries slamming shut. Sweet Mother of Pearl, I can not wait to get my hands on these just in time for football season. Thank you Johnsonville. On behalf of a grateful tailgating nation, we thank you.
