Monday Morning Wake Up Call: SandBar

This is the only type of wild life found at your local sandbars during Memorial Day Weekend.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Being from Florida, Memorial Day always involves going down to "The Sandbar" in Isla Morada, and doing some Boatgatin' with the thousands that roll out there throughout the weekend. This, of course brings one thing to mind, and that is Jimmy Buffett. So, in honor of that, and all the ParrotHeads out there, here is some of the craziness that goes on before J.B. concerts. Enjoy and have a safe Memorial Day Weekend!

The Ultimate In Portable Tailgate Grilling

With Memorial Day coming up this weekend, there are going to be thousands of weekend warriors heading down to their local ballparks to do some grillin’, drinkin’, and ball game watchin’.

The Picnic Time Portagrillo Portable Gas Grill helps make this adventure less stressful with its ultimate use of space. With 263 square inches of cooking real estate, the compact and easy-to-carry grill is perfect for tailgate parties and picnics. Using propane as the fuel further increases the convenience offered by this grill, leaving messy charcoal at home. When it’s time to go, the Portogrillo slips into its bag, and off you go!

Although it’s tough to beat Picnic Time’s portable grill that also carries beer, this grill tops all others for portability.

The Dawg: Another Tailgater in Cleveland's Arsenal

These Cleveland Browns fans look like they skinned a few "Tickle Me Elmos" to cover up this bad boy. Don't adjust your speakers, YouTube striped out the music because they believed it to be in violation (yeah, I guess they do that now).

Southern Tailgater Magazine Targets Enthusiasts

Southern Tailgater Magazine (www.southerntailgater.com) designed to serve southeast region of the country – a geography with a rich tailgating tradition.

"Tailgating is a popular activity all over the country," said Chris Reaves, President and Publisher of Southern Tailgater. "But the southern tradition and unique culture of the south, we felt, demanded an outlet dedicated to this market. Our goal is to provide both a publication and web-based forum for southern tailgaters to show their pride, their heritage and their tailgating spirit." There is no doubt the South has a passion for tailgating, and the magazine is directed at those very tailgaters throughout the Southeast. The events covered could be anything involving tailgating from Football (pro and college), Nascar, and any other event with tailgaters. The magazine is published quarterly.

The National Tailgating League Ready To Kickoff

The National Tailgating League (The NTL), a newly formed organization created to sanction and execute organized tailgating games including Cornhole, Ladder Golf and Washer Toss competitions, is ready to hold the first officially sanctioned event during Memorial Day weekend at Lowe's Motor Speedway. In conjunction with the 50th running of the Coca-Cola 600, the inaugural NTL doubles cornhole tournaments will take place on May 23 and May 24 in the campgrounds of LMS.

The NTL is hoping to expose one of the largest tailgating parties in the world to a fully sanctioned cornhole tournament, and name the "Cornhole King of the Campgrounds.

"Tailgating once was the event before the event," said Todd Hirschfeld, creator of the NTL and president of HMS Worldwide, a sports and lifestyle marketing agency. "Today, tailgating is the main course and through the NTL, we're going to organize and sanction events for sportsmen all over the country."

It's Game Time for this Ravens Bus

What started off as a group of six tailgaters has ballooned into weekly crowds of 40 to 60 loyal Raven fans. Bill Crochunis (Founding Father) and his sons Nate and Mike, were among the core group that started this whole thing back when the NFL finally returned to Baltimore. Many in the group attribute the success of their tailgate swarm to a bus they purchased way back in October of 2001.
