This was not just a WIN but we killed the Tigers!! It was so much fun!!

No doubt this was the largest tailgate with the after dance party!

Where to start? I suppose the pig...

The Linebergers picked up a cooked 150 pound pig from Greensboro and arrived to the tailgate around 10:30. Coach Griffin had a special grill made before the season started and he got to use it this day! Coach had the grill and coals ready when the pig was delivered and he kept it warm for us. We like Lee picking our meat for us in his nice leather jacket! See below. Thanks, Lee!

It was Gil's 23rd Birthday Celebration and I am sure one of his favorite gifts was the victory! Gil graduated at the end of this Semester from UGA. No more student tickets for Gil (or Parker)... that's really sad!

Nanette Allen came with her family and always brings wonderful food. She makes the best homemade cakes.

Wallace Green bought colored Christmas lights and we thread them through the tents. Thanks to Coach Griffin leaving his generator we had an amazing "After Party" that ended around 10:30. Jimmy Jordan works hard and plans carefully our tailgate music. We can request songs to be on the iPod and he always fills those request. So, after the game the iPod was on and we dance until the gas ran out of the generator. All I can say about the dance party is some of us dance better than others. However, we all have a ton of fun!

I made a new friend, Shane McAdams, that day. He bought "drunken fruit" to the Tailgate. It seemed like every time I was getting a piece of fruit so was Shane. Needless to say, we were good friends by the end of the day.

Jimmy's friend, David Thompson, from high school and his girlfriend, Adrianne, came to the game. They stayed with Jimmy and Mary the night before in Milledgeville.

Amber and Patrick came. Patrick is an Auburn fan and he wore his Auburn jersey that day. He managed to stay to the end of the 3rd Quarter and had to leave. I walked back with them and he was nice enough to help me setup the tents and move all the chairs. Then back to Milledgeville he and Amber went.

Byron bought is neighbors.

The Griffins children came with their friends. Amy, Jake's girlfriend, mother came to this game and I enjoyed seeing all her centerpiece photos. Maybe she can make one for us at a tailgate one year. :-)

Rob Lineberger fell and hurt his knee at the last minute so he and Ada could not come. However, he was back to the next game.

We had great news this game. Parker proposed to Allyson the night before. She was still glowing when she arrived to the tailgate. Parker and Allyson, please write on the comments and tell us about the proposal?
