Tigers Roll Over the Rebels!

Never ones for making it boring, the Tigers edged out the Rebs in a nailbiting win.....thus leaving a slight chance for SEC and National Championship glory!  Stranger things have happened!  The weather could not have been any more lovely for our final BATT tailgate of the 2012 season.  The grits and grillades were delicious, the beer was ice cold, and the company....well, let's just say....we KNOW how to pass a good time!
 
 This seems normal enough........
 Wait....you barely know me....and YET you feel compelled to share that your daughter is (WAS) expecting?  Oh...it's a secret....EVEN BETTER!  Numerous cocktails make for oversharing!  (Dramatic re-enactment of a tailgate past)
 Mean mugging......
JM loves H!  <3 p="p">
 P brought his boy for some tailgate fun!
 Looks like Pop Pop loves his little grandaughter.
 Good times!
 Look everybody!  There really IS a Ronnie! 
 Lovely ladies.....
 Coop is loving the tailgate........sorta
 Nothing but TROUBLE with these three
 P family CUTENESS
 J and his Boston Buddy
 Putting the guests to work!
 The Boston Beyotches
 Poor men
 Talking football
 J and her coworker
 Joel stopped by on his way to hobnob with the movers and shakers at the suite
This is scary on many levels....
 The M family....minus one uncooperative teenager
 D and TA loving life
Honey and H....enjoying the last tailgate
 Don't be sad JM......we'll tailgate again next year
 The last pack up of the year.
See you next season!
 
Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make the tailgates really fun!  The food was amazing, the setup was fabulous, the company was legendary, and the cocktails were FLOWING! You can't ask for any better than that!

Tigers Barrel Over the Bulldogs

It's a perfect Saturday when the Tigers win and Alabama loses!  Not to be held back by their heartbreaking loss last week, our beloved Bayou Bengals came out ready to play and beat the Bulldogs 31-17.  What a great day to be a Tiger fan and, even more importantly, a BATT tailgater!

 It's early, the weather is nice, and M is ready for some BATT fun!
 S and her favorite Gourmet finally get a pic together!
 I make washers look good!
 Ridiculous cuteness from one of our fave BATT couples!
 The prodigal son has returned and he's helping the Gourmets with the food!
 JM love his boy.....and his boy's girl!  <3 p="p">
 There's something men and their sons.
 Silly self portait and photo bobbing nonsense.....
 The S's show some love
 It's always more relaxing at tailgate
 R models the latest in BATT Tailgate Cocktail Fashion....BLACK IGUANA
 J and C.......they just can't get enough of BATT tailgate
 This is what pacing looks like...........
 This what pretending to be your dad accidentally taking a pic of himself while attempting to take a pic of someone else looks like!
 Representing the LP
Father/son sock bonding
 M says pacing schmacing........
 P approves!
 J got some helpful ideas he's brought back from DC to help his dear ole dad
 Getting the bird ready........it was fantastic!
 Buuck BATT cuteness......take 1.......
 .........take 2!
 BATT women acting like ladies..........
 J and P make BATT look LOVELY!
 This J and P are handsome additions to our group
 Windblown sisters.....
 Serve you?
 BATT women GONE WILD!
 See.....M.....this is how you do it.....
 ......and NOW we are going to harass you while you try!
 Enjoying the beautiful weather and great company....
 No rest for our resident gourmet.........she was also on guard for errant "quality control" helpers who sought to eat the bird BEFORE it was served
 Tailgating is EXHAUSTING!
 Tailgating is always better with friends......
 Looking GOOD ladies!
 Culley couldn't resist coming by to enjoy a little tailgate and the game
 Mad and R mug for the camera
 S and her aunt stopped by to say hello!  It was good to see her!  <3 p="p">
P takes her turn at being an apprentice to the Gourmet?  Will she pass the test?
 
See you next week!  Geaux Tigers!
