Meet BOBBY the Bus, Y'all

Don’t you just love when things work out in an almost perfect fashion? The owners of “BOBBY the Bus” sure do. You see, after a night game, the group was sitting around on ice chests and folding chair talking about how they could step up their tailgating efforts. The group, which is comprised of three families, continued talking when a school bus, painted purple and green with a deck on the roof, drove right by them. Eureka! The very next day there was an ad in the paper stating that the Oklahoma City School District was having an auction with buses being included on the auction block. Some things are just meant to be. The bus was purchased for $700 six days later.

TailgateLot.com's First APB Officially Posted

So here it is, TailgateLot.com has officially put out its first "All Points Bulletin (APB)" for this absolutely monstrous tailgate machine. Watch the video, and right after about 10 seconds you will catch a glimpse of what looks likes the Holy Grail of electronically equipped tailgate vehicles. It would be a crime if we do not feature this truck on our website. Iowa State Fans, you of course, can help us the most when it comes to capturing this wicked, and probably mythical machine. However, we do have to say the best part of this video comes at about 22 seconds. The guy shooting the film, in an attempt at being as inconspicuous of possible, pulls a move from the 1930's, and whistles to make himself blend in with the crowd. Classic!

Leave a comment if you know the whereabouts of this ISU tailgating powerhouse.

Texas Longhorn Fan Tailgates In Style

Creative Mobile Interiors (CMI), a custom conversion company in Grove City, Ohio, recently delivered a high end custom Sprinter restaurant chain owner complete with all the fixins’. The Sprinter van was built to lock horns at University of Texas tailgate parties and for extensive travel with friends and family. Starting out on a 2008 170” extended cargo cab chassis, CMI added such tailgate essentials as a refrigerator and microwave; bathroom, and of course, an extensive audio/visual system.

The audio/visual package includes a Pioneer multimedia system and two 26” LCD TV monitors. One of the monitors flips up and down from the ceiling using motorized power lifts. The other monitor is mounted to the wall towards the back of the Sprinter on the driver’s side. This allows for TV viewing from any place in the Sprinter’s main cabin area. CMI removed the factory stereo and replaced it with the Pioneer system which consists of a CD/MP3/DVD/GPS and back-up camera. Other built-in amenities include a KVH In-Motion satellite dish, wireless internet, gaming jacks, and wireless headsets.

Playboy Names Miami Top Party School of 2009

Last week, Playboy unveiled its annual "Top Party Schools" list, and perennial '80s party school, Miami, ended up on top. The magazine collected information from its staff writers and photographers, campus representatives, and thousands of college students. Rankings were "scientifically" based on bikini (scenery), campus, sports, sex, and brains. Yes, they added brains this year.

Anytime you release a list such as this one, the debates can rage on for months, or until next year's list is released. So let the debate begin!

Here's the 2009 Top 10 Party School list from Playboy:

Bus 12 Serves Up Aggie Pride for Texas A&M

The rally cry of the Aggies from Texas A&M can be heard for miles from the top deck of Bus 12. Before you can even catch a glimpse of the two story tailgate machine, you can hear the sounds of its powerful speakers blaring the music of the nationally famous, Fightin' Texas Aggie Band from blocks away. In fact, it was noted that a woman in Lincoln, Nebraska dragged her husband from their 14th story hotel room believing that would catch a glimpse of the Aggie Band. Yet, once you get a view of this rally masterpiece, you are convinced you are in the presence of Aggie greatness!

The Aggies Gear Up Their '64 GMC School Bus

The 12th Man Tailgaters from Texas A&M have turned their tailgate bus conversion project into their own version of 'Monster Garage.' They started off by buying a vintage 1964 GMC School Bus, which was acquired all the way in Springfield, Illinois. The soon-to-be tailgate machine, was hauled over 1000 miles to get it back to its new home in College Station, Texas. Some may think that this was a bit of an overkill, but as one of the owners simply explains, "We wanted an old bus...something different."
