Tailgating Ideas

This past Saturday marked the 112th Army-Navy game and was the official close to the 2011 college football regular season. This coming Saturday is the opening of the college bowl season with the playing of the Gildan New Mexico Bowl. In honor of the close of the college football regular season and to kick off the 2011-2012 bowl season we thought we would bring back Playboy Playmate Jaime Edmondson. In this video she is modeling apparel from the top college football programs of the Playboy era. Enjoy and the links follow the video:

Have you heard? The NBA lockout is apparently over and the really tall guys making a lot of money will continue to play basketball and make a lot of money. Although tailgating has never really caught fire in sports like basketball, it does mean the return of the timeout dancers shaking and wiggling while the TV viewers endure another commercial break. Whether you are a basketball fan or not, be glad that the lockout has been lifted or these girls would need to go and get real jobs. Links follow the eye candy.

College football season comes and goes but one thing remains constant from where we are sitting. The folks down in SEC country have got it made in that across the board, that conference tends to lead the way when it comes to tailgating prowess. And the rich keep getting richer in the SEC because the Saturday afternoon eye candy down south never seems to take a year off. After perusing one of our favorite sites on the web, Poon of the SEC, we came across this photo we have chosen to lead off our weekly link dump segment. All we can say is that Tennessee may be having a lackluster year on the field but the ladies who tailgate in Knoxville never disappoint. We’ll let you guess which of these four gets our “Tailgate Approved” stamp. Links follow the Vol babes.

I’m not sure when the memo was passed out to the female species that Halloween is the holiday to dress as sultry and sexy as possible and the world will just come to expect it. I for one would like to thank whomever was in charge of writing and distributing that memo. Tonight on the eve of Halloween 2011 we’d like to offer up Cora Skinner modeling one of a number Halloween costumes you’re more than likely going to see on Monday. We’d like to say thanks to Don Chavez for posting up about 30 photos of Cora Skinner in different Haloween costumes and would encourage you to go over there and visit to see the entire gallery. For those interested in news and opinions about tailgating and the tailgate party lifestyle, stay right here and click the links below the photo.

Yeah, we get it. It’s been a while since we have done a Mid-Week Eye Candy Wrapper link dump. We also understand that we have featured Jaime Edmondson in a number of these but this one we could not pass on. Apparently the guys over at Busted Coverage somehow convinced the Playboy Playmate and former Miami Dolphins Cheerleader to do a photo shoot while wearing the same football pants Cam Newton wore in the BCS National Championship game. We apologize but hopefully this will help make up for us being slackers. Links follow the eye candy.

The NFL Lockout is officially over. The players union ratified the owners proposal for a new collective bargaining agreement that will be in place for the next 10 years. Once that happened the floodgates opened and NFL teams were able to sign their draft picks, release players and sign free agents and other players who were released. And oh yeah, NFL training camps opened up immediately for the teams to get ready for their first set of pre-season games. A lot has been going on in the past week and because we are laser focused on all things NFL and the tailgating that goes with it, we could not pass on an opportunity to share with you a previously unreleased photo of Playboy Playmate Jamie Edmondson modeling some NFL apparel.

We know we have featured Kate Upton photos and videos in our weekly link dumps in the past. But in all fairness, how could we pass up this photo opp with the hottest swimsuit model on the planet playing baseball in the All-Star Celebrity Game? Seriously. With the NFL and NBA both in lockouts right now our hand was pretty much forced. Links follow the eye candy…
