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. <a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6864/1704/1600/Picture%20003.0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6864/1704/400/Picture%20003.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>The overkill tailgating table with matching chairs in action and the newest addition, the overkill super grill cart is poised and ready to perform.<a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6864/1704/1600/Picture%20002.1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6864/1704/400/Picture%20002.1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>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. <a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6864/1704/1600/Picture%20001.2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6864/1704/400/Picture%20001.2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>....and here is why you need a support table.

Great.

Janet, you can wear anything you want as long as you keep bringing good stuff like those crab stuffed deviled eggs.<a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6864/1704/1600/Picture%20008.1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6864/1704/400/Picture%20008.1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>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.

Probably something about how he rained endless three pointers over Bimbo Coles in the day.

It ain't much but 60 bucks is 60 bucks.<a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6864/1704/1600/Picture%20015.1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6864/1704/400/Picture%20015.1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>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.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6864/1704/1600/Picture%20019.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6864/1704/400/Picture%20019.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></div>Greatranduhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08473347358406477136noreply@blogger.com
