TailgateWiki: Keeping Tailgaters Informed

With all the “wiki’s” popping up online, you knew it was only a matter of time before there was one developed on our favorite subject: tailgating. Introducing TailgateWiki.com! It was developed loosely on the concept of Wikipedia, where everyone is an expert on something. The thousands of tailgaters that flock to stadiums all across the country are experts when it comes to their local stadium, tailgating rules, traditions, and hidden hints that only those that tailgate regularly know.

TailgateWiki.com is a place to share that information to not only “pay it forward” for your fellow hometown tailgaters, but for visiting fans alike. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to follow your team on the road, and still tailgate like you were at your home stadium? Rather than spending hours of research trying to find the right information on when gates open, if you could use charcoal, or what items are banned in the parking lot, you now have a one-stop-shop, where all that information is stored. TailgateWiki.com was started a few months ago, and some team pages are chock full of great information and insider tips. Check out a sample tailgate at the Chargers Tailgate Page.

You even can earn achievement badges based on your activity and how many pages you update. So get over to TailgateWiki.com, and start adding what you know.

7 Days 'Til College Football Kicks Off

That's right! Only 7 days left until college football kicks off again! Nothing like a "biggest hits" vid to get everyone back into the swing of things.

The Gater Tail - Portable Bar and Refreshment Stand

The Gator Tail is not just another all-in-one tailgating solution. This single axel trailer is an actual portable bar that can be hauled to any tailgate location. Features include an onboard grill with 5 burners, trays to ice down 5 cases of beer, 12V power, air compressor, and a 250-watt Pioneer surround sound system. The best part is that the unit can fit in your garage when not in use. You may remember that we featured the creators of this tailgate machine back before they won the 2009 PepsiMax Maxiumum Tailgating Gadget Award, and if you want to check more of their work, visit them at PortableEvents.com.

Monday Morning Wake Up Call: Kansas

Kansas, Kentucky, Duke and Syracuse earned No. 1 seeds in the NCAA tournament, and landed in that order in the final ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll of the regular season.

Monday Morning Wake Up Call: BCS Edition

Alabama’s dominate performance over Florida on Saturday sent them into a Battle Royale with Texas on January 7th. This will be a helluva battle on the field as well as off of it, as it pits together two tailgating powerhouses!

The Iowa State Cyclones Tailgate Van

Charley Bogwill and Jeff Burdick's passion for tailgating was evident way before the idea to build a tailgate van came along. They have been hosting tailgates for many years, which have included items such as gas-powered blenders, tents with construction heaters (for the ladies, of course), custom ISU helmet hitch-mounted grill, and an ISU Scoreboard replica portable bar with TV and running water! These are not your average tailgaters.

World's Longest Basketball Shot

I'm not sure if this is actually the longest shot or not. I don't even know if this is real or fake. I do know that for every 100,000 views they receive, the guys will sponsor an impoverished child through an organization called Compassion International. Check them out if you get a chance at http://www.dudeperfect.com/.

Meet BOBBY the Bus, Y'all

Don’t you just love when things work out in an almost perfect fashion? The owners of “BOBBY the Bus” sure do. You see, after a night game, the group was sitting around on ice chests and folding chair talking about how they could step up their tailgating efforts. The group, which is comprised of three families, continued talking when a school bus, painted purple and green with a deck on the roof, drove right by them. Eureka! The very next day there was an ad in the paper stating that the Oklahoma City School District was having an auction with buses being included on the auction block. Some things are just meant to be. The bus was purchased for $700 six days later.
