Tailgate Fever!!! or not.


This weekend we decided to tailgate before the Baylor-Kansas State game. Baylor actually won the game, and it ended up being the first time Baylor has EVER beaten Kansas State... so Go Bears! In any case, in comparison to Tech, Baylor does not have much of a tailgate culture. Perhaps this is due to the Baptist prohibition on drinking... which creates a docile crowd. In any case, we smuggled our drinks to the tailgate, and used Marly's small grill to heat up some good hot dogs and hamburgers. Ann made this great bean dip for our texas shaped chips as well. We were one group of about 10 who tailgated, but there is hope we believe. In any case, there were about 20,000 people at the game, which was very boring. Kansas State has the worst offense I have witnessed since traveling to the Duke game last year. Hence, all Baylor had to do was make a field goal and they were in the clear. In any case, we left at halftime to pursue other interests, like real football on TV. We wish we could have been in Lane on Saturday to see Glennon through 53 passes. What the heck, 53 passes!? 339 yards passing, I bet his arm hurt after that. So Go Glennon! and boo on our secondary... we miss Jimmy Williams... in any case I love J-Dub for his hand waving tactics and BRUTAL hits. So after the game we ended up at this "cultural" fair in down town waco, which was sad. It involved fast food and white grunge rock. We moved to Waco, we want to see Mexican stuff!!! Enough with stereotypes... Baylor is really not a good school.
Angela: Despite the game being super boring, our tailgate was alot of fun! :-) We parked in the grass along the creek, which we later found out we had to pay an extra ten dollars to park there and tailgate. We were like...oh...we do? And the guy was really nice and said that this time we could park there. No wonder no one tailgates here....it costs $20!! Blah! And then like....40 minutes later another lady came and said we didn't have a pass to park there, and it was okay this time, because “tailgating is fun,” but next time we'd have to pay extra. Ann made an amazing bean dip, and we did an awesome job grilling our hotdogs and hamburgers without any tongs...or anything to turn them or get them off. It was a success...and although we only stayed for one quarter of the game...because...it really was that boring, we still had a fun time! :-)
