Brunch Tailgating

Saturday the Mississippi State Bulldogs played the UAB Blazers at 1pm. Early game days means Brunch inspired tailgating complete with Bloody Mary's and Mimosas. Since it was expected to rain again this Saturday I decided it would be easier and the best decision to just host the tailgate at Jay's apartment so we could stay dry, cool, and watch the game. Even though it ended up not raining until after the game Jay and I still thought that was the best decision we have made in a long time because we were able to watch and even attend the game and not have to worry about our tent and taking it down after. We watched the game at Jay's place until halftime and then watched the second half with his parents in the Dave's Wade Stadium Club Level. All and all Saturday turned out to be a great game day especially with the Bulldogs pulling out a win. Way to go Dawgs!! We won't be tailgating for about a month because the next few games are away until October 4th but Jay and I will not be in attendance to that game because we will be in New York for the weekend. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and if you are a football fan whether it is College or NFL I hope your team won! See you tomorrow!

Tailgate Hostess

Saturday was my first time to host a MSU Tailgate for the game against Southern Mississippi. Even though it was rainy it still turned out great and I learned some do's and don'ts after this game. Despite the rain the Mississippi State Bulldogs still won, with a final game score of 49-0! Way to go Bulldogs! We are planning on trying to host another tailgate this coming Saturday but we will just have to see what the weather decides to do. I hope you all had a great long weekend! See you tomorrow with my recipe for Spinach and Artichoke Dip.
