So my wife kept a secret for past month but finally spilled the beans today. Cut to the chase, she informs me we are flying out to Tennessee a week from today. She also informs me that on Saturday, September 5th, we’ll be headed to Neyland Stadium to watch the Volunteers take on Western Kentucky in the season opener. Needless to say I was stunned and very excited. The only anxiety I had was tailgating in another location without all my tailgating gear and toys I have accumulated over the years. Since we are flying out and staying with friends who do not tailgate as frequently as we do, their tailgating gear is a bit lacking compared to my arsenal. I am sure we will manage just fine and I will be able to pack a few must have items into my checked luggage. Most notably is the Flabongo and The Party Starter. Do you think my Freedom Grill FG-50 will fit in my carry-on bag?
In honor of the upcoming trip. I give you a fine representation of what the Volunteer Nation has to offer. You Better believe I will be bringing my digital camera and my Flip Video camera. Links to follow:
