Track Down Tailgates With This Handy New Mobile App

Tailgate Scout is a new mobile web application developed by tailgaters to help you track down your friend’s tailgating location, and other tailgates nearby on game day. The app was mainly developed to help tailgaters find a single spot located amongst the vast area of tents and grills. It works great if you are trying to host a public tailgate, and want to get the word out, or if you just need friends to find where you parked.

Tailgate Scout currently carries the following features:

• Facebook sign on to leverage your existing social network
• Access on both Android and iPhone devices through the built in browser
• Maps and lists to pinpoint your friends and their tailgates
• Display all public tailgates nearby sorted by distance
• Location sharing through tailgate creation, check in, tweet button, and the mark your spot functionality
• Tailgate check in to earn points for your team
• Leader boards to track top teams, tailgates, and scouts for that day

You can check out the app by visiting http://www.TailgateScout.com on your iPhone, Android phone, or Google Chrome.

Where's Waldo...err...Borat?

I know we normally don’t talk about golf on here, and I know that Borat jokes are a bit out dated, but this was way too good to pass up. The amazing part of this shot was not the fact that Tigers Woods duffed a shot about as bad as I normally would. Or the fact, that the photographer had the balls (literally) to actually snap the pic up in time before taking a giant pellet going 170MPH to the head. No, the amazing part of this picture is the guy in the semi-member’s only jacket and a cigar in his mouth looking on in sheer amazement. That man is my new personal hero!

The Big Ship Gets Ready for Buffett

Last November, we did a story on The Big Ship, which was about the owner, Mick Roulet, and the custom paint jobs he gives his tailgating RV every year before Jimmy Buffett concerts. Well, he's back, and this time he is showing us what it takes to re do the paint job on his famed camper.

Below are photos from the Big Ship through the years:

Ohio State's Brutus Attacked

If you didn't get a chance to see the latest mascot fight, the above video is must watch. It features Ohio University's Rufus Bobcat viciously going after Brutus Buckeye in front of over 105,000 fans.

"It was actually my whole plan to tackle Brutus when I tried out to be mascot," said Brandon Hanning, formerly known as Ohio University's Rufus Bobcat. "I tried out about a year ago, and the whole reason I tried out was so I could come up here to Ohio State and tackle Brutus."

The 19-year-old Hanning is now banned from further affiliation with the school's athletics department. Actually, he's not even a student there anymore; he now attends nearby Hocking College.

Classic!
