The Buffalo Bills Army Tailgate

It’s Friday! We'll leave you with a feel good video to get your weekend off to the right start. I don’t even know where to begin with this one. First off, when I grow up, I want to be the guy in the neon cap. As for the guy hanging on the flag pole, play on, my friend, play on. And then when you thought this video couldn’t get any better, you have a mock tailgate showdown on top of the bus that ends with a chant of U.S.A.!! Happy Friday, everyone!

Kentucky Derby Infield Tour

Unless you live under a rock, you may have heard some say today may be the best Sports Saturday of the year. Well, we only have one thing on our mind today, and that is, “Why aren’t we in the Kentucky Derby Infield right this minute??” Join Marcus Riley as he takes you on a tour of good ‘ol times mixed in with a little debauchery. The video is two years old, but we are pretty sure that the same rules still apply. And if you need any tips on how to sneak alcohol into a venue, be sure to pay attention around the 2-minute mark.

"Why Didn't I Think of That Award"

The winner of this year's "Why Didn't I Think of That Award" is the Cap-A-Cooz. We've seen beer bottle openers on flip-flops so why not the most obvious choice of all: a koozie! This tailgate gadget is also great for the pool or the boat. I don't if you have ever tried to twist off a beer cap after being in the water a few hours, but take it from me (someone who has), not a good outcome.

Turn Fruits Into Shot Glasses with ShotCarver

With Jimmy Buffett’s “Summerzcool Tour” getting ready to kick off its summer leg in Arizona in a couple of weeks, we had to bring out a gadget geared to all those ParrotHeads out there.

Introducing LushLife’s ShotCarver.

The ShotCarver turns almost any fruit into a tasty tropical shot glass. Simply insert the ShotCarver into a fruit such as an apple, twist, and voila, an instant shot glass size hole. Then fill with an adult beverage, and bottoms up.

Making a Vodka Watermelon:

The ShotCarver is also great for carving holes into Vodka Watermelons. To create a Vodka Watermelon, open a hole in the watermelon using the ShotCarver. Insert the bottle of vodka into the hole, we recommend using a 375ml bottle. Let the vodka bottle sit overnight to let the vodka absorb into the fruit. This can sometimes take up to two days depending on the size of your vodka bottle and your watermelon. Then, simply cut the watermelon and serve.

OSU Shuts Down HineyGate...Sad

After 26 years of entertaining tailgaters, HineyGate, a.k.a. the parking lot outside the Holiday Inn on W. Lane Avenue, will close its doors forever. The Ohio State University has bought the 243-room hotel in order to convert it into a residence for more than 450 students, and some OSU alums and fans are calling “FOUL!” HineyGate has become known as one of college football’s greatest tailgating parties. Fall Saturdays would draw thousands of fans, vendors, and bands to this premiere tailgating spot. There is no word on a change of venue for this event.

A Back Full of Tailgate Pavement!

Here is a shortie, but goodie from the fine folks at failblog.org. The moral of story goes as follows: "Go ahead, and down a 6-beer funnel, but be prepared to pay consequences." If you guys have a better moral to this story go ahead and comment below...

Steelers Tailgate Inventor

First off, I'm only about 90% sure these guys weren't speaking English. Second, they may be on to something that can be bigger than all of us. A backpack keg! The only issue would be trying to convince the search down guys to let you into the stadium.

The Booze Belt Keeps You Armed at Night

Looks like someone was listening up in class when they were told to never bring a knife to a gunfight. The Booze Belt, by After 5, ensures that you will be the undisputed life of the tailgate party, and helps you turn any tailgating event into a recreation of a night at Carlos and Charlie's.

The Booze Belt includes two holsters for Tequila, Jack, Jagermeister, or anything H2O, as well as, six molded ammo slots for shotgun shell shot glasses that come included. The belt is thermally molded to keep Jager cold. The Booze Belt is an exclusive of After 5.

Boating Tailgate Party Must Have

With the Spring and Summer coming up, it's never too early to start thinking about tailgating out on the water. The Big Bobber Floating Cooler holds up to 12 cans with ice, and is sure to get any water activity revved up. The top of the cooler sports an eyelet just like any other fishing bobber, so your cooler will never drift away. It's great for the pool, lake, or beach, pretty much anywhere there's water. The floating cooler is fully insulated to keep all beverages cool on even the hottest of days, and best of all, it's made in the USA.

Beer Pager Eliminates Orphaned Beers

Ok, so this is not exactly the Christian Children's Fund, but orphaned beers are not cool. Notice how at any given time during a tailgate, there are half full abandoned beers on top of tables, perched on fences, or sitting on top of the keg. This is all due to the fact that your faithful tailgaters expect you to drive them to the game, bring all their food, cook their burger, and watch over your beer in the same exact instance in time. But you can help put a stop to this waste of beer with the Beer Pager.

Simply place your can or bottle into the system's built in koozie, and clip the remote to your belt. Then next time short-term memory loss kicks in, press the button, and the coaster and koozie start to burp loudly and light up from up to 60 feet away.

The creators have thought of everything on this little tailgate gadget. The device comes programmed with several different radio codes so that more than one unit can be used at one time.The Beer Pager is available in two different designs: Original Version and Casino Version.
