Just wondering if any fellow Tiger fans are planning on going to the 15th Annual SEC picnic this weekend. I've never been and was wondering what it's been like in the past and what to expect if I go.

I went a few years ago (before the '07 season) while visiting Austin. We actually just found out about it one morning while checking this website. We just kind of showed up. Naturally, being from Louisiana, we brought beer. But everyone was really nice. Bring some lawn chairs if you have any.

I think last year there was a keg and Stuft (sp?) was there and made a huge pot of jambalaya. It is basically just a big tailgate with no games to watch. Just drinking, playing tailgate games, eating and talking football. I think there was also a Horseshoe tournament between all of the teams. Just bring some beer, chairs and probably some food, because they won't be able to cook the Jambalaya this year due to the drought.

BYOB - lots of cold beer. You might want to bring some snacks to share. Bring chairs and maybe a pop-up tent.

There is a facebook page for the event that has a link to a TV segment from last year. You can get a pretty good idea on what to expect from that. I don't have FB access at work.

I've got a few neighbors that are going - they say it is pretty good times.

I won't make it, kid b-day party early, and the Lake Travis v. Westlake game at UT stadium in the afternoon. 30,000 - 40,000 fans watching a high school football game is a "can't miss".

We need to get something like this going in New Orleans at Audubon or City Park.

I have to work that morning, and it's going to be so damn hot


I think I may skip it this year, which I'm sure is no shock to my fellow Austin alum members
