What is everybody going to be drinking and cooking/grilling this season? What are you go to choices?

And while I'm asking, what rituals, superstitions, etc. do you guys have? (I always switch to Maker's Mark if we're losing/playing badly. It's my rally bourbon.)

You can't, but it sometimes hard to find where I'm at, and when you can, it's double the price of the US. Hence, I only drink it as dictated by special occasion.

My regular drinking stuff fluctuates between Jim Beam, Jim Beam Black, Crown Royal, Old Number 7, Flor de Caña rum, and Fireball (don't hate). Jim Beam gets drunk the most as I get it for a heckuva nice price, basically smuggled in from Panama.

If it ain't broke...

Question: how many Natty lights would it take you to get solidly drunk, assuming you've eaten normally?

Where do you live? Seems like I’ve seen it before but I forgot. Nicaragua? Costa Rica?

If we’re the home team, I wear a crimson polo. White if we’re away.

Also like to ease in new shirts on teams like New Mexico State.

Burned the clothes—literally—I was wearing Iron Bowl 2013 and most recent NCG

I can't drink anymore so I guess I will be smoking pork, chicken and brisket this year while sipping Dr Pepper during the game. Burgers and dogs when I am not at certain away games.

I've been thinking of trying a brisket this year, but I've honestly never done one. Any tips?

Trim the excess fat off the brisket the day before you cook it. Try to get the temperature of the smoker or oven around 250 or 275 degrees. A typical 12 pound brisket should cook for ten hours. I just use salt, pepper and a little olive oil.

Typically smoke wings or ribs. Drink IPAs.

Time is irrelevant. Temperature is all that matters.

That’s why I just throw mine in the forge for 5 min. Instant brisket.

True. I shoulda said, ten hours at 250 degrees for my smoker. Generally 9-12 hours at that temperature. A like pulled pork a little more but a brisket done right is really hard to beat. I hope some of you guys wander to my tailgate this year.
