Tailgate Preparation/ Excitement

[GoodlettsvilleVol]

Plan to arrive early - 5ish.

Got a large portable grill. Ribs and wings are marinating. Got brats, ordered two full Tins of Charles Chips. Lots of other snacks too.

Of course Jack Daniels with mixers, etc. Icing down several cases of Sam Adams.

Gonna see old friends; will make new Vol friends.

I get extra supplies so I can get the grill started after the game- talk about how things went and give traffic an hour, hour and a half to clear out.

Doesn't get better, happier than this.

Yep

Yep

I figured there might be. I know it's a Thursday game, but even 7-8PM kickoffs at Neyland on Saturdays, we're there around 10-11AM

I didn't know they still made these, looked them up online and it looks like a tin is only 8" tall by 8" in diameter. They used to be about the size of a 2 gallon bucket. Sounds like you're gonna have a hell of a tailgate!

If anyone is already there and tailgating, drop some pics so those of us stuck at work can see what's happening. TIA GBO!!

I know a few that started before noon. Most getting started in about an hour.

Brisket been smoking for 9 hours so far, brined onions, slaw, corn, brussels, and beverages to go around. If you haven't had brined onions...holy cow.

I had the exact same reaction. Remember them from when I was a kid.
