You did this in college? And you had swimming pools?


No, we're a wee bit older now.

Yes, 2 pools from Intex. They have an inflatable ring for the pool edge, then the design of the pool made the walls rigid by water pressure as they filled. The 10' pool was around 3' deep I believe. Couldn't swim obviously, but they were perfect lounging pools in the heat of Sept. Target has huge sales on them at the end of summer.

I'm not poor. I go drink in my fully stocked suite and watch other games in air-conditioned comfort.

That's why Arkansas has a terrible tailgating reputation. Apparently it's because y'all are pissing all over yourselves with wealth. Didn't realize tailgating was only for poor people.

I do not believe in a TV at the tailgate. Turns into everyone sitting around watching TV... I am out there to eat, drink, run my mouth and maybe throw the football.

2 canopies, a couple of tables, TV and satellite, 3 kegs, couple gallons of punch, a huge pot and burner for jambalaya, redneck golf, beersby, baggo. Just me and some college buddies. Friends invite friends and it gets pretty big at times.

Its 2 things.

1) We've had one of the highest number of luxury boxes at our stadium for the past 15 years and none of those people have any desire/need to tailgate.

2) We don't have a lot of flat ground around the stadium for tailgating.

Tailgating is big in Little Rock, where there aren't very many suites, and most of the fans are sidewalkers.

Grill or burner depending on the food


Those who know me know my love for the open flame.

it really is ridiculously convenient.


Yep. We pay for a setup too. Two of my group come from Memphis so they are the closest to campus in our group. I have a 4-hr drive, another guy has a 7-hr drive, and the final guy has a 9-hr drive. Would be a pain in the arse if we had to setup our own and we'd be a mile from the Junction area. It is nice to show up with a cooler and some food to share and the TV is already on for us.

A family member and his group stopped paying for the setup a few years back and bought equipment (including entertainment trailer) for their own really nice setup that they've been upgrading each year with the money the would have each spent on the setup. But they all live in Starkville and can go to campus at 4:00 on Friday to claim their spot - not possible for any of my group.
