Coleman - 62 Quart Wheeled Xtreme Cooler

First to recommend

Description

Whether you're into week-long camping trips, backyard barbeques, or a 9am tailgate before a football game, a good cooler is a must. These Colemans keep your drinks colder than any other cooler out there, so much so that I haven't owned a non-Coleman cooler in probably 10 years.

The wheeled version allows for easy transporting of your beverages of choice, as the model in the picture, a 62-quart cooler, can weigh over a hundred pounds fully loaded.

Drink smarter, not harder!

Four Emus - Australian Wine

First to recommend

Description

I'm a beer and pretzels kind of guy, but when I want a nice bottle of wine, I head straight down to my local liquor store and pick up a bottle of Four Emus' Sauvignon Blanc Semillon. It's delicious, crisp, and usually comes in under $10 a bottle. The website has all kinds of interesting facts about emus, has a quirky little jingle (if you're in need of theme music), and instructions on ways to find Four Emus at a store near you.

Double Ringer Horseshoe Set

First to recommend

Description

Now, this recommendation isn't professional grade or anything, but when you're getting your drink on at 9 in the morning, possibly in a grassy median in a stadium parking lot, do you really want to be throwing $100 horseshoes around, clanging them into the pavement and/or parked cars?

I thought not.

Pitching shoes while waiting for a noon Virginia Tech game was pretty much a way of life for me for four years. (Well, six, but you don't have to rub it in.) You might get bored of tossing the frisbee around with your friend's six-year-old daughter, so as soon as the kids see horseshoes, you're off the hook. And since all you really need is a small stretch of grass or dirt to play, you'll save your knees and elbows from all of the road rash you'd get trying to play "touch" football with that one drunk guy who insists on hip-checking you every time you run a post pattern.

Horseshoes. They're faaaaaan-tastic.

Jello Shots!!! (And I never use multiple exclamation points. Ever.)

First to recommend

Description

Okay, so I know what you're thinking. Jell-O shots? Kind of girly, right?

Well, remember the category here. You're drinking at 9am on a Saturday or a Sunday, waiting for a football game/NASCAR race. You were probably out until closing time the night before, you big lush. You're hung over, and that first beer of the morning just isn't doing it for you.

Enter the Jell-O shot. If you don't mind drinking coffee during the week to get you up and going, why not do a few shooters to kickstart your debaucherous weekend? You'll love them. Women will love them. Fans of the opposing team will love them... but, of course, they'll have to pay.

Pick up some paper shooter cups, find your favorite recipe online, haul a small cooler-full to your next tailgate, and be the guy who made the event a blast. And possibly the guy who got naked and passed out in a storm drain. But whatever...

Coleman - RoadTrip Grill LXE

First to recommend

Description

Tailgates don't work with fast food or cold sandwiches. Brats, burgers, dogs, chicken, pork, steaks -- these are all acceptable (and by acceptable, I mean mandatory). A lot of your typical charcoal grills are hard to transport, and can get very messy. Instead of lugging around the equivalent of a small fireplace & chimney, pick up one of these compact, highly functional Coleman gas grills. Set up to use a portable mini-propane tank or a full 20-pounder (neither included), it's versatile, too. Click on the link to see how it folds and stores easily, and go get yourself one of these before your next tailgate.

Gameday Customs Ultimate Tailgate

3 people recommended this item

Description

Not everyone has $14,000 to spend on a tailgate platform. If you do, however, lucky you -- you're on my short list of "Alumni I Want To Party With."

This moveable feast-maker comes standard with a 26" LCD TV with a satellite dish, 1000 watt generator, wall outlets, a keg cooler, and a port-a-potty, plus lots of interior room for all kinds of accessories.

For a few dollars more, you can add my personal favorite accessory: A freshwater system and a stainless steel sink. Why? Am I a fan of fresh water? Of cold steel?

Well, not to get off-color here, but after a big win (and a large amount of alcohol), you might find the need to have some privacy with your woman. And in my personal opinion, nothing says "I love you" like an impromptu throw-her-up-on-the-stainless-steel-sink-and-have-your-way-with-her sex session, especially when you know that outside those metal walls, thousands and thousands of people are just milling around.

Excuse me while I go have a smoke.....

Binoculars Flask

First to recommend

Description

At a football game or NASCAR race, the only thing worse than dealing with post-game/post-race traffic is the long, foul-smelling line of patrons waiting to plunk down 8 dollars for a lukewarm plastic cup of beer.

Wouldn't these places be a lot more fun if you could just bring your own liquor? Well... you can! A must for any serious tailgater/sports enthusiast, this sneaky flask holds 16 ounces of your favorite beverage -- and when your favorite beverage is Jack Daniels, that's enough for a couple of people over the course of three hours. Just make sure you fill it tight; the sound of sloshing binoculars is a dead giveaway. Buy a $3 coke from the stadium vendors, pour in the Jack, and you're on the road to total self-obliteration.

Note: Drinking directly out of your binoculars? Also a dead giveaway. But you'll be tempted by the time your team is down 35-3 in the third quarter...

Nerf Vortex Ultralight Football

First to recommend

Description

The story goes, before practices, Brett Favre and one of his backups used to each stand on the goal line on opposite ends of the field and throw these Nerf footballs to each other. One hundred yards in the air. Wow. Favre can throw a ball about 70 yards in the air, so these puppies will fly about 1 1/2 times as far as a regular football. Which means you'll be able to throw it 30 yards, Alice!

So when you're tailgating, and you don't want to chase down short throws or plunk an 8-year-old in the face with a real football, try one of these. They're a lot of fun.

The "Extreme" Daiquiri Whacker

First to recommend

Description

Tailgating made easy. While you're swilling beer and downing Jell-O shots, your more cultured tailgating friends might enjoy a Daiquiri or Margarita. Here's the answer: A gas-powered blender. No extension cords, no bulky generators. Pure blended drink heaven.
