First Tailgate and Home Game of the Season: MISSING- The Ring, The Poors, and SHSU Scoring

It was a great day to be a BATT tailgater.....the rain stayed away, there was a slight breeze, the food was amazing, and, as always, the cocktails were flowing!  Not even the threat of impending tailgate overflow could dampen the mood! It would seem that the Poors lead a trend at this tailgate.  While JoeMike and Linda were missing in action, Nick was MISSING something else very important.  We can imagine that his first tailgate as a married man would have ended VERY differently for him had H not found his wedding ring on the GROUND near one of the tables. Here's hoping that next week goes more smoothly for our beloved P family!  As expected, first tailgate of the season went off without a hitch!  Thanks to the setup crew and our resident gourmets for a wonderful time!

 The G's first game as actual residents! 

 

Photobomb SUCCESS!



Photobomb FAIL!

 We love our Gourmets!

The infamous boundary line...marked by Clayton.  With Kelly having to move his tailgate, Clayton felt compelled to mark his territory....for fear that the BATTers would try and take over Tigeritaville!

Here's what B thought of his territory line!

The P's biking it to their first tailgate as a married couple!

 C is less than amused when J tries to dance with him.  Can't you feel the sibling love?

J's cousin came by to enjoy some BATT fun

 As usual, the washers competition was non-stop all day!

 

R knows better than to find herself trapped in convo with the Short Ant Killer

It took her quite a while to recover!

 

Now......if you're going to be the tailgate photographer.....and you leave your camera unattended while you're shopping at the LSU store...you have to expect this to happen!  I give you......POOR SELFIES!
