Erin is going to rock the tailgate contest. She has the best tailgating

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

They are the early favorites, but I would not count out a lot of the other teams, this is going to be a fun one to see play out.

We also have 2 Tailgate only teams, so I'm sure they are planning on going all out.

Should be fun...

Erin & Jim's dog is their secret weapon. Once he turns on the charm, it's all over.

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Those of you competing in the Tailgate Challenge, make sure to invite out all of your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc.  The more people you have at your booth helping to create the "Tailgate" atmosphere, the better you will do..

Good Luck to all of you, looking forward to seeing what you all come up with...

Now that the Teams are set for the Superbowl.  I wonder if any of our Tailgate Throwdown Teams will be sporting either team at the event.

GO CARDINALS!!!

[Mrs. McFrankenboo]

On the flyer, it says tailgate at 3:30 and somewhere else it says judging starts at 2pm.  Brisket turn in is at 2:15 so can the non-competing teams for the tailgate portion be judged first so that on-site judging does not interfere with Brisket turn in??

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Yes, we will go over that at the Cook's meeting on Friday.

The teams that are ONLY competing in the Tailgate Challenge will start at 2 pm with the judges.  By the time they get through with them, it will be 2:45 - 3:00 pm.

We got you covered...

Now that fireworks are semi-legal, I suggest you put the Packers tailgaters next to the Steelers and watch the fireworks!

Or the ASU people (the only "real" AZ football team) next to the people who follow that other AZ college (I forget their name ).
