Thanks so much Alli! We went to GA when Ole Miss played them one year. We try to go to at least one big away game each year. It was really fun, I enjoyed the town and the campus. You guys enjoy tailgating too! 🙂
Jenna says
Great collection! Lots of tried and true favs here, I want to try the Hissy Fit dip this year, I have heard of that so thanks for the recipe!

My husband doesn’t hunt or do sports, tailgating is he extracurricular! lol, I have to start thinking about food early. You know there’s always something everybody expects you to bring, then I want to bring new stuff too. It’s fun, I like everything about tailgating.

What a great round-up! I learned to appreciate college football after I married my husband. As a UT alumni, he bleeds orange through and through. He prefers it over pro football as well. Once the football season begins, I’m going to have to start dishing out some delicious finger foods and this is a great place to start 😉
Paula says
oh, we have two friends that are the same way about UT – Brock Lodge, I wouldn’t be surprised if you husband knows he and his wife. I think they know everyone! Literally, our Fall consists are of football and that’s about it. Have you started classes yet?
Lisa@ Cooking with Curls says
I don’t watch football, don’t know a thing about it. Now I am feeling very left out, like I am missing out on the greatest thing since sliced bread! Maybe I should start 😉
Paula says
You are missing out on the greatest thing since sliced bread, Lisa!!! Did you look at the post at the bottom ‘This is how we Tailgate’? You’ll see why I love it so much when you do! 🙂 I do like the football, it’s such a complex sport, but I LOVE the tailgating part – food, cocktails, friends – nothing better 🙂
Katrina Vega says
This is great! My husband and I looooove pro football! We are super excited that pre season just started yesterday! We usually don’t tailgate or have friends over, but I’m sure I can still use these just for us. My favorite pro team is the Steelers, but since I live in San Diego I have to support the Chargers. Thanks! Pinning 🙂
