Alright fellas (and ladies), as the season approaches I think now is a good time to have a forum on tailgating. If this needs to be on the OT, then please feel free to move it.
Basically, I'd like to hear what people deploy for their tailgates...
- tent
- equipment
- satellites/tv
- chairs
- music
- booze
- food
- spot on campus/near stadium
- etc. & miscellaneous
Share the stuff you're proud of and that you think others would benefit from considering themselves.
I'm personally in the market for a new tent, I've made do with a shity Ozark trails one but would prefer upgrading to a nicer one, navy or white considering my two loyalties. So if you have a recommendation as far as brand/type/model, shoot.
ETA: And post pictures!
My current wish list:

You need an open flame and a large cast iron pot for the jambalaya.
ETA: No tailgate is legit until it has an official name.

I've never done the TV thing. Too much work.

This is exactly how i feel. I find it's much easier to be nice to a neighbor and mooch of their tv than to bring your own.

I think the most annoying thing to me would be having to break down a TV setup and store it securely before heading in. The means you're either going into the game late, or not enjoying the rest of the tailgate before everyone heads in.
ETA: I'm in my mid 20s and it's very social, standing around playing cornhole and just chatting it up with music playing.

I'm an alumni and our house was dry last fall so my peeps and I weren't tailgating around the pledges.

I don't always smoke, but when I do, they're Parliaments (bummed off of a friend).

Is this just outrage that peopel smoke, or are you hating on the wonderful blend that is made more delightful by the recessed filter?

Goat meat =/= mutton
I would think someone so critical of another school's perceived culinary choices would know the difference.
