Hey now, that's not nice. I might conveniently forget the canopy - hate those friggin' things unless it's hot or pouring rain, as I like being "outside." Ag wants it for the late afternoon "sun?" She may have to rough it, plus it'll probably be cloudy by then.
Speaking of old adages, I believe it might be wise to follow the adage that says: when the wives are happy, everybody's happy. Bring the canopy and we'll station it to one end of the tailgate leaving plenty of "outside" space for the woodsmen among us.

I get that the SEC is king of college football. The Grove, worlds largest cocktail party are all legendary. It's a way of life down there. However I'll still put us up there with just about anyone else.
You nailed it. I taught at UF and at various times attended tailgates of my students. One guy used to trailer in a jacuzzi big enough for about 10 people>>>also if you showed up in a motorhome as I did, you could stay 2 days BEFORE and 2 days AFTER the game free in the overflow lots......

Well @MrsScrew (and associates) were named tailgate of the the game or something yesterday. There was a picture of many of us at the tailgate on the scoreboard during the game. Ironically MrsScrew was at the Scarlet Walk and missed the picture and her shot at being famous. LOL.

I thought Sweet Lou won...why isn't your tailgated called Sweet Screw? I walked by this place as we made our way from purple before going into the game. Loved the lights, did you guys have a dance floor, it looked like it. where were the curtains?

I laughed that you were at the Scarlet Walk when they took the photo. My crew won the first game and of course I was at the Scarlet Walk when they took the photo. Congrats!

you too? I mean, seriously, they want people to go to the Scarlet Walk and then the people that stay back get the glory on the video board! I sent an email to Geoff Brown who said "it is a mistake to send the tailgate crew out during the Scarlet Walk, it won't happen again". He's also going to get me photoshopped into the photo. :)


Valances? Do some of you guys have eye brow waxing areas too?

ah, reading comprehension is still not as high as it could be here on this board. there are NO valances. As @RU4Real said earlier, valances would be dumb. there are curtains, a la' The Grove.

Looks like the RU tailgate game is definitely stepping up.

Went to an SC tailgate last year and the had a sushi chef. I thought we next level.
