Looks like we are going to be testing out the fancy new drainage that Baylor has so kindly installed this year! (Don’t take that exclamation mark as excitement…yet, at least.) Bring your rain jackets and boots!

This week’s menu has two parts. We will be serving breakfast before the game and another meal (The meal between breakfast and lunch has a cool name but no one has come up with anything cool for the meal between lunch and dinner…Dinnch? Luncher? Weird, but whatever. We’re serving that!) after the game. With the early kickoff, we won’t have much time to enjoy each other’s company beforehand. It’s Homecoming! C’mon!

Breakfast will be served at 9:00am. Pancakes, sausage links and scrambled eggs. A great way to start the day! We will have orange juice and Bloody Mary mix as well. Part of a fully balanced breakfast, right?

After-game meal: Bone in pork chops, our fancy green beans, and yummy potato casserole! We may end up with some other sides as well, but these are the confirmed choices.

We will also have some new brews from the brewery in good ol’ WACO! We will have two beers on tap from Bare Arms Brewing. We’re pumped! (Get it? A keg pun?) : )

There is a survey up on the G&GF blog for you to weigh in on which (none, one or all) meals you’ll be up for joining us for. With the weather actin’ a fool, we are trying to purchase enough without being wasteful. PLEASE cast your vote here! —-> Homecoming Food Survey

We really hope to see everyone this weekend. Come early, stay late and SIC’EM BEARS!

I know that 11am kickoffs aren’t the most fun, but we are going to make the most of it. Breakfast tacos will be served at 9am! Come hungry for breakfast and redemption for last year’s disappointing and lackluster performance in Morgantown. Let’s beat those Mountaineers!

Post game, our plan is still to head out to Goldthwaite to partake in the Goldthwaite Music Festival. GMF is a great event in a beautiful setting, just 90 miles west of Waco. Tons of bands from ACL and SxSW will be playing. It’s a really cool experience! We would love to see all of you out there as well!

Don’t worry, if you want to hang around after the game and continue to tailgate, Kyle and family will still be around to continue watching the afternoon games.

Can’t wait to see you all soon! 4 Days!

Go Bears!

Hi all,

I know you probably weren’t expecting an email this week with our Bears playing in Kansas, but I wanted to remind you all that Saturday is the Bear Foundation Appreciation Watch Party, taking place at the stadium. We’ll gather with our fellow fans and cheer on our Bears from the turf at McLane. We will be there, but it does not seem like there will be any tailgating. The Bear Foundation will be serving food and will have fun activities for the kids such as inflatables and bounce houses. The gates open at 10:30am.

Find more information here: Bear Foundation Appreciation Watch Party
––––––––––––––––
As for our NEXT TAILGATE, the kickoff for for the game against West Virginia Game is 11:00 AM. I know it is early, but we will have breakfast and other goodies. (A more specific menu will be announced the week of the game.) Come join us!

With it being an early game, our plan is to head out to Goldthwaite after the game to partake in the Goldthwaite Music Festival. Goldthwaite Music Festival Facebook Page This is a great event in a beautiful setting, just 90 miles west of Waco. Tons of bands from ACL and SxSW will be playing.

We would love to see all of you out there as well! Just wanted to send this out to everyone in advance so you could make plans to attend if you wanted to. It really is a blast.

That’s all I’ve got this week! 4 days to Kansas!
Go Bears!

We’re late! We’re late! For a very important menu date!!

After a week off, we are ready to get back out there! On the menu this week, we will have hamburgers with all the fixins. Serving as celebrity pitmaster this week is Mr. Kyle Eilers!

I have some official duties to take care of before the game this week (bummer on the timing, I know). Don’t worry, we will have all the same setup, good food, and a great time as usual. Due to such an early game (2pm) we will reconvene and watch some more football at tailgate after the Bears get a full helping of Owls.

JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER! Please respect the coolers of those that bring their own beer, etc. If it isn’t yours to drink, please don’t drink or share it. Be mindful of those that you bring to tailgate who may not know. We try to bring plenty of extra for those who chip in. Just ask one of us for the community chest. If we need to bring more, we are happy to. Just let us know.

Hope to see you all this weekend! 4 days!

Go Bears!

Thanks to Labor Day, we’ve got a short week ahead of us before it’s time for our first tailgate of the season…! We will be out at the stadium Saturday morning and would love for you to join us all day!

I wanted to go ahead and get you guys excited for what is on this week’s menu!

We are smoking briskets and potatoes  for brisket sandwiches and stuffed baked potatoes with a side of bacon wrapped green bean bundles. Come early because these babies will go quick!! We are also bringing a batch of our homemade barbecue sauce…it’s SO good! We  wanted a little something sweet so we will have watermelon two ways…curious? Come check it out for yourself!

Grab your green and gold gear and get your butt ready for some great food and even better FOOTBALL! Can’t wait to see you all Saturday! 4 days! Raise your hand if you are READY…!

Go Bears!

We survived our first year at McLane Stadium! We came out a little damp but as defending Big 12 Champions! (‘One True Champion’ my ass.) Now, it’s time to spearhead year two at McLane and we are so excited to get back out there and root for our Baylor Bears!

To catch you up: By some early reports, they are working hard to fix the drainage problems that plagued us last year. Fingers crossed that it will be successful! Last year was a resounding success and we can not thank you all enough for your continued support and generosity over the course of the season! We really could not do it without the combined help of everyone.

With a new stadium, we used it as a new start to keep track of everything financially. (Yay for being grownups, right?) Last year’s total expenses totaled just under $4,000.00. While we are not buying a new TV this year, we are adding two official tailgates this season: A McLane Stadium Watch Party against Kansas and @ Cowboys stadium vs Texas Tech. With these added games, we think the total will end up roughly the same for this year.

With this said we are soliciting donations and general beverage requests with a recommended donation of $200 for the year per person. Obviously, we will make sure to have all beverages iced down and something delicious cooked up before each game and sometimes after. (All that roaring on first downs makes a fan hungry!!) Remember that you can always donate on our Facebook page or on the G&GF website under the “Donate” tabs, if that’s easier!

If you haven’t already (and we all know you have, but just in case…) go ahead and mark your calendars for the following games:

9/12/15 Home vs Lamar
9/26/15 Home vs Rice
10/3/15 Away vs Texas Tech at Cowboys Stadium Lot 4 (parking passes still available)
10/10/15 Away vs Kansas Watch Party @ McLane
10/17/15 Home vs West Virginia
10/24/15 Homecoming vs Iowa State
11/14/15 Home vs Oklahoma
12/5/15 Home vs Texas (Start praying for temperatures above 20° Fahrenheit. Would love to not have to be out in THAT again!

As many of you know, we are always looking for ways to improve tailgate and make it a better experience each game and each year. I always have an eye out for new items that would help us improve. If/when there is more donation money than what is needed to cover our costs, these are a few items that I’ve had my eye on.

A traveling/foldable propane burner – $195 (To be able to expand our food prep horizons)
A larger cooler to replace some of ours that have seen better days… – $439 (This one is pretty sweet http://amzn.to/1QbhlyK)
A high top 20×20 semi-permanent tent – $1600
Adding Brakes to the BBQ trailer – $700 (Making road games so much easier)

Make sure to check out our website and Facebook page often as we post each week’s menu, photos, videos, share articles and general G&GF goings ons. (We’d love for you to post your pictures on our Facebook too!)

Thank you again for all of your continued support. We really love tailgating and it just wouldn’t be nearly as fun without each of you!

One day until the season opener; nine days until TAILGATE and our first home game! Get pumped you guys! I know we sure are!

Go Bears!

We are ready for some football and some breakfast! Breakfast first! For the Cotton Bowl, we will be serving up eggs in a nest and sausage links! There will also be plenty of orange juice for mimosas and screwdrivers. Gotta kick start the day, right?!

We plan on being at AT&T Stadium bright and early (around 6am so we can get in line for our tailgate spot). Come early. Come all. Come hungry!

Can’t wait to see everyone for our last game of what’s been an awesome season! Remember, we will be tailgating in Silver Lot 4!

3 Days! Let’s go Bears!

Time to head north to cheer on our Big 12 Champion Bears!! Due to the proximity of this bowl, we will be bringing the trailer and tailgating beforehand! It’s an 11:30 am game, so join us in SILVER LOT 4 for pre-game festivities! (See the map below.) Currently, parking passes are available on StubHub. We wanted to go ahead and get an update to everyone so we can all start making plans together!

Already looking forward to it! 24 days!

Go Bears!
