UCF vs SMU 2008 Tailgate
Here is round 1 of the plan for the SMU tailgate on October 4th, things will remain
subject to change so check back again. Please leave your responses
within this post so everyone can read them. There are some new (silly) tailgate setup rules for Memory Mall that start this game. I’m going to contact GKC this week to find out more, it may change when I arrive to start setting up.
TIMELINE
9:00am: Tailgate setup crew arrives (may change based on conversation with GKC)
10:00am: Tailgate start time for the masses
12:00pm: Cajun Lunchtime
2:30pm: Breakdown
3:30pm: Kickoff
FOOD
Based on the popularity of our Cajun tailgate last year we’ve brought it back this year. Based on our team’s performance the timing couldn’t be any better because I know many are looking forward to this tailgate big-time. We’ve worked out some details Saturday night, but still have some more things to figure out. Here’s what it looks like now:
Jason: Red Beans & Rice (from Tom’s recipe last year)
Jen: Gumbo
Natalie: Gumbo and Shrimp
Jean: Hot Dogs for the kids and anti-Cajun eaters
So some ideas for others would be jambalaya, chicken creole, corn bread, sausages, etc. However, bring what you want and don’t be afraid to make something new for the first time. And it doesn’t have to be 100% Cajun influenced either. Let’s have fun with this!
DRINKS
For drinks either bring your own or let us
know that you would like to donate and what you would like and someone
with a parking pass and a cooler can pick it up for you.

Team Williams numbers may be down for this tailgate. Roby may be in Jacksonville this weekend for some scout team baseball games. Rudy has a double header Saturday. His first game starts at 10:00 am and if he is scheduled to start that game on the mound, we will not get to the tailgate until 1:00 pm.
I will know mid week how many and what time we will arrive. Four to six members between 10:00 am and 1:30 pm.
We will bring a cagun pasta dish containing some sort of seafood and sausage combination. I may need someone to bring my creation to the tailgate if we arrive late.
Unfortunately, I have to work this Saturday until 1pm so I don’t think I’ll be making it to the tailgate in time. I’ll probably get out to UCF by 2 or 2:30. I got spoiled the first two home games by being able to get both of those Saturday’s off…
Go Knights!
Dad will be there early with you to set up - I will be at work until 1:30 but the Hot Dogs and fixing will be there with Dad. Let me know who needs drinks and we will bring that also. Larry will you grill the hot dogs??
1. 6 of us attending
2. 11ish and eating
3. Gumbo and possibly something of Jim’s creation. We will bring our drinks.
Do you still have the fan?
GO KNIGHTS! At least, GO TAILGATE PARTY!
1. Just fabulous me
2. Going to shoot for somewhere between 12-1
3. I will bring dessert… its easiest to carry on my long trek onto campus
