Salty and Sweet - A Little Too Much of Both

This past weekend at the Texas vs. Mizzou game the Tigers got their butt’s whooped. While the game was a blowout, I had a blast and am totally amazed at how big college football can be! The tailgates alone were huge - bigger than what we see here at the Bengals games.

I went with Jim, who’s Aunt and Uncle host an amazing tailgate, see photo to right of their tailgate setup. I have to give a shout out to his Uncle David and Aunt Jamie for their Texas hospitality. Not only did they host an amazing tailgate, they also treated everyone to a great Texas style dinner Friday night and then we hit sixth street to party!

Like I said, the game was a blowout but we made the best of it. Outside of playing Cardinal Puff and Thumper, we did some side betting throughout the day to keep things exciting. Jim’s sister, Mary Jesse, was triple dog dared to lick the family dog Charlie’s bald head.

For background, Charlie had a bit of an accident; well his owner accidentally dropped a scalding hot pan of bacon grease as Charlie was nearby begging. The bacon grease severely burned Charlie’s head and torso, but due to excellent care he is back on track. However, a little bald spot on the top of his head will never grow back, so of course we dared Mary Jesse to lick it. She said it was salty and you can tell from the video below.



Now, for what I ate during the tailgate : 1 breakfast burrito (eggs, sausage, cheese, hot sauce, tortilla wrap), cheeseburger, chips and guacamole, 1 chicken wing, corn, coleslaw, 1 rib, 1 slices brisket, ¼ grilled chicken, popcorn snacker, 1 giant mamasso, a ton of beer and the kicker – 16 Brownies…or so.

Yeah, that’s right…I am a lover of sweets and these brownies were to die for. So, Mary Jesse had the salty and I had the sweet.
