Ga Tech Tailgating

Yeah, I'm a little late with a post. Actually, I'm two losses.....er....two games behind. A man's gotta take a break once in a while. It has been said before, but I'll say it again, I'm not a college football pundit, not one of those talking heads, and this isn't the place to go over the details of why the unspeakable has happened (twice). This site is about tailgating and having a great time regardless of what happens on the field. So here are some shots from the Ga Tech tailgate. Yes, we had fun.

The tailgate setup is underway.
The overkill tailgating table with matching chairs in action and the newest addition, the overkill super grill cart is poised and ready to perform.Here's a better shot of the super grill cart and support table. We don't grill on no sheet metal hibachi. That's a three burner Weber Genesis Silver B power-house. I'll dedicate a post later to the details of the grill. ....and here is why you need a support table. Brats and pork tenderloin coming off the grill.Everyone just trying to be in the moment.The Gustafsons showed up and became honorary Hoopty Crew members.Steve joined us and Cathy made everyone uncomfortable with pictures of me cheesing it up 17 years ago with this wife. Great. I need that kind of pressure.
Janet is back to her old ways - blue, blue, blue by you (or bayou). Janet, you can wear anything you want as long as you keep bringing good stuff like those crab stuffed deviled eggs.Cathy's bro Jeff and wife Cheryl made the trip to party with us. Cheryl made herself scarce and I couldn't find a single picture with her in it. Sorry.Here's Bret and Bobby (next picture down), official Hoopty Crew members attending their first tailgate with the Hoopty.
Mom Frazier (Linda) showing off her Hokie Bling.Bret's friend from work, DJ and his wife Teresa added to the merriment although in this particular picture it appears that DJ is sneezing "buuullllshhhniiit" to some story Bret is babbling about. Probably something about how he rained endless three pointers over Bimbo Coles in the day. Right.Jilian made another appearance with her Jackie-O, -O, -Ooooh glasses. Todd came this time and showed his ability to toss the long ball (sorry no pictures). The Hoopty Charity table for the Hospice organization was up again and did much better this time around. It ain't much but 60 bucks is 60 bucks.Finally, no Hokie tailgate would be complete without the drink of choice for all fighting gobblers! Next tailgate is Southern Mississippi. It's a 7 o'clock game so as long as the weather is good we should be tailgating all day. Gotta pace ourselves for that.
