Tailgate guys sold out. Last fall, it was a new company.

What pissed me off was that the university got aggressive. Banning tailgating in places that even the tailgate guys couldn’t set up. They basically waged war on us and tried to force us into they milquetoast bullshite.

I’d love for
Some university pencil pusher to try and justify what they have done to the tailgating experience. A town hall where we tell them to go frick themselves would be hilarious.

Great! They made a bunch of money. And Auburn is stuck with a sterile white tent city on game days. Awesome! Glad they made their money though. That’s what’s important, right?

They definitely didn’t make a bunch of money selling out. They screwed themselves by growing way too fast and into places that just frankly don’t have a tailgate culture. They had to sell more and more of the company to their silent partner to raise money so the company wouldn’t bankrupt until they eventually didn’t own it anymore. Sad but they did it to themselves.
