PSU vs. Iowa

We break into Big Ten action next week as does the real test for our beloved Lions.

This is an 8pm game so it's ALL day tailgating...yahoo!! The RV will be set up by 8am so come on by anytime.

We are holding our first ever TailGREAT Tourney. We will have five games: Beer Pong, Bean-Bag Toss, Ladder Ball, Flip Cups, and Quarters. This is a partner's competition. If you know ahead of time who your partner will be, drop me a line as I will be making up brackets. But you can join the fun that day as well.

We will have prizes for individual game winners as well crown an overall champion duo.

There is no food theme for next week, just a pot-luck. I am bringing the Baked Potato Bar & burgers and I heard about pulled pork from Greg.

PSU vs. Temple

Well, that was fun! The surprise tailgate for Kevin Keck was a success and so fun! Thanks again to Kimie for including the gang in the celebration.

Next week we are back to our spot and holding a Mexican Fiesta/Hawaii Luau. This is a TailGreat favorite-margaritas will be flowing :).

Its a noon kickoff (again).
The current forecast calls for some sun and high of 68

Just a reminder the big TailGreat Tourney will be held the following week during the Iowa tailgate. There will be prizes! Let me know if you want to play and who your partner is, I can pair ya up if you don't have one.

The games will be:
Beer Pong
Quarters
Ladder Ball
Corn Hole
Washer Toss

2009 PSU TailGreat Kickoff

Hi all,
Our first tailgate at Lot 24 is called "That's a Wrap" Bring some fillings for the perfect tortilla wrap buffet.

Also if any of you die-hards are interested, here is a link to information about the Penn State Football Eve festivities at Beaver Stadium.

A noon game means tailgreating both before and after.

2009-2010 Themes

Hi all,
After collecting some ideas from fellow tailgaters, we have complied the list of themes for this tailgate season. Disclaimer: The themes are just for pure fun, please feel free to bring whatever you like to the tailgate-you do not have to always abide by the theme :).

More details, updated forecasts, etc. the week before each game, so check back and remember to bring along any friends and family to join the fun.

September 5th-Akron; Noon Kickoff:
"That's a Wrap"
Bring some fillings for a wrap party. Pulled pork, chicken salad, various cut up veggies, cheeses, etc. Make your own wrap recipe from the bar selection (Thanks Teresa for this suggestion).

September 12th-Syracuse; Noon Kickoff:
"Wing-Off"
Braggin rights for the best wings. (It will be tough to beat Romy).

September 19th-Temple; Noon Kickoff:
"Mexican Fiesta/Hawaiian Luau"
The two kinda go together. Icy drinks (Donna's bringing Blue Maui, Tiff's bringing Margarita ingredients), any Mexican or Hawaiian dish (fish, pork are biggies in Hawaii). Tiff will also bring the Quesidilla maker for fresh dillas.

September 26th-Iowa-Night Game!:
"TailGreat Tourney"
Grab a partner and take part in some friendly competition-Ladder Ball, the Bean-Bag Toss thing, Beer Pong (any other game requests?) will be part of our bracket to find the ultimate Tailgating Team. If ya don't have a partner we'll get ya one. Prizes awarded. Potluck on the food for this one; I am planning to bring the Baked Potato Bar. (Thanks to Greg & Laura Tyson for the inspiration!)

October 10th-E Illinois (who is that??):
"Southern BBQ"
I can taste Pam's Baked Beans already, better make it a triple batch for this one :) Whose bringing the Beano?

October 17th-Minnesota & Homecoming; 3:30 Kickoff:
"Wine/Beer Tasting"
