For any of my friends here, if you've ever been interested in going to one of our family's University of Tennessee home football game tailgates, your chances are running out. It looks like the 2025 season will be our last. And, assuming that I can actually do it this season, we may not do it for every game. We'll see. Anyway, as of right now, I plan to set up as we have in the past, so if you're interested in coming to a tailgate, please plan to stop by and say hello. We've been tailgating at or near our current spot since 1995, and consistently going to games and tailgating since 1978. Yep, it'll be the end of an amazing era of special times with family and friends! 🧡🏈🧡

Get kicked out? It's been too long... If I come up this year I will certainly stop by. Yours is always great with former players and such. |

No. It's just become difficult, and I'll be on my own this season. It's my son's last semester before he graduates, so I promised one last season. We'll see how it goes. |

Sorry, everyone, but we won't be able to tailgate in the usual place in the B9 donor lot this season. They changed the parking rules, and you can now enter onto Phil Fulmer Way only from Cumberland Ave. and you must show a parking pass. We've never had a pass, but we were always let in by the parking lot attendants just to set up, not park. Anyway, we'll try to tailgate near our assigned parking at Lot G16 (where Stokely Athletic Center once was) for all of the home games except the September 20th game. I'll let you know if anything changes.

Hey Tony, do you have your schedule settled yet? Amye and I want to make at least one game that you're attending if this truly is your last year
