The 2008 edition of the tailgate season has mercifully come to a crashing close. Massive wind and extreme temperatures tried to keep us away on Saturday, but it was not the case. The last 3 months have seen 6 home tailgates, a trip to Lincoln and Austin, 2 bowling parties and now it is being closed down with a quick Vegas outing followed by the KU game in KC. Finally, may it rest in peace.

Before we bid adieu, I wanted to post some highlights of the 2008 season.

• Power Hour(s)
• Mitch swinging the bat
• The Bonfire
• Beer Olympics
• Jay Falling down 3 times on the way to his car
• Getting the green cord
• Ace & Gary T-shirts
• Brittany’s Hair
• Partying in the Lexus
• Sleepovers
• “Why is he all wet?”
• Tweeting
• Lighting the bag on fire
• Bottles of Chopin vodka
• Tammy & Abby hitting the bottle
• Distinguished Guests

• “That’s what she said”
• Gas Flavored Burgers

Feel free to leave comments with your own. In the words of my closest most personal advisor, only periodic trips to Vegas will allow me to tolerate the off season. View some more pictures here and here. See you at the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl.
