College football season kicks off today! Woo-hoo!!
I'm not particularly dialed into the action on the field, but boy, oh, man, do I love me a tailgate party. My all-time favorite college football experience was in the legendary Grove at Ole Miss, the University of Mississippi in Oxford. A friend belonged to an unofficial alumni group, which paid a student to put their party tent up on game day at dark o'clock. Then, they'd arrive with all sorts of tasty food -- you can bet some Memphis barbecue was part of the mix -- and drinks to share. It was so much fun and very filling.
Their setup wasn't elaborate as many, a few even sported chandeliers, couches and flat-screen TVs. No need to go sit in the stadium in those uncomfortable chairs. No matter what the final score was, my buddy often joked that Ole Miss had never lost a party.
He and his crew might want to consider entering Kingsford Charcoal's Tailgate Rivalries Sweepstakes. Here's the skinny:
- Kingsford has partnered with ESPN to determine which college tailgates the best
- Selected recipes correspond with each school and fans can vote for their favorite each week to determine which school advances to the next round
- Voters are automatically entered for the chance to win one of three tailgate kits each week
- And, each round for which people submit their votes earns them an additional entry into the Grand Prize drawing for the Ultimate end of season Tailgate trip, which includes:
- Trip for two to College Rivalry Week Game of their choice
- $500 spending cash
- Airfare/lodging
- Kingsford is also giving $5,000 to the winning school

Now, this is the kind of heated competition I can get fired up about!
