They have taken Hump Day away, there aren't really any tailgating going on before or after the games, and most of homecoming events are catered to the alumni.
Yeah, but I won't be surprised if a growing number of sport fans (or alumni/students) are anti-tailgate. After a 50+ work week the last thing I want to do is ripping and running trying to get a pit going, hoping it doesn't rain on us, put the stuff up before the game, etc etc ....Nelson said:We need more tailgating groups to do this, but @[tsuball10] and I were thinking last year if there could be a "Tiger Alley" / "TigerNation" / "Jungle" / etc ... type section of nothing but TSU Tailgaters... that way we could attract attention (and possibly combine resources).
For every 10 that don't want to, there is 1 that will. I believe. It'll make the gameday spirit that much better and bring out the casual fans in my opinion.TXSUDFWTIGER said:Yeah, but I won't be surprised if a growing number of sport fans (or alumni/students) are anti-tailgate.

I walked in with my TSU shirt on and got extra love from the waitresses who happened to be TSU undergrad students (pretty young ladies who made great convo). Tried it for the first time a/g PV this year .... great food (especially the spicy wings), they had all my favorite liquor, no wait at the bar, comfortable seating, and decent TVs to catch up with other games. I recommend it fellas

This sounds like a good spot... There are a couple of places that show love to TSU family in the NRG area.
