Greetings DFT Nation,
My apologies for going dark since the Thanksgiving weekend
recap, but life got extremely busy. So, let’s recap what happened:
LSU, Ohio State, Clemson and Oklahoma won their respective
conference championships and made it to the CFB playoffs. The Pac-12 got left
out as Utah was scalped by Oregon in Santa Clara. Clemson edged out the
Buckeyes in a great comeback win, and sadly, Oklahoma forgot to get off the bus
as LSU boat raced them in Atlanta. It was more of the same in the Natty. After
Clemson got off to a fast start, the LSU Tiger machine kicked it into high gear
and laid waste to the team in need of a more realistic tiger mascot. Congrats
to LSU, as this was truly one of the best seasons any team has had in years. In
the FCS, North Dakota State won their eighth national championship in the past nine
years. The amazing part is this is the third coach they have done so with.
Props to West Florida and North Central for winning the division II and III
championships respectively. For the first time in years, I was not able to make
a bowl game or Army/Navy due to circumstances beyond my control.
My season in the rearview mirror:
13 division 1A college games
8 new cathedrals
7 epic road trips
8 Monte Vista High School games
2 NFL games
This was the lowest amount of college games I have attended
since 2014, but an overall large number of all levels of
football games attended.
We also saw massive growth with our Tailgate Connect
business this year. Thanks for helping spread the word.
Next season I will close out the Big Ten, Big 12 and SEC
with games at Illinois, Kansas, Kansas State and Missouri. This will leave the
ACC as the only power five conference that I have not conquered. In 2021, that
will be my focus. As of now, it looks like my quest of attending a game at all
130 division 1A schools will be completed by 2023 or 2024, God willing. I am planning
on making Hawaii my last venue. We
will do that tailgate up huge and all blog followers are invited to attend.
Planning will commence in 2022, and I will need a committee of volunteers to
help with this. Other games next fall will include the University of New Mexico
– now that the Ass Clown known as Bob Davies is gone, it is clear for me to
attend, Ball
State, Cal Poly and at least one other random Group of 5 school. It is # 3’s senior year of high school, so I will be staying a little closer to
home.
Season Ginger Champ –
To all those that are battling cancer this year, which there a number that are
near and dear to me. Keep kicking its ass and remember Cancer Sucks!
Season Bieber Champ – So many to choose from, it is a Bieber
overload. But I am going to have to give it to the Snowflake brigade that
protested at the Harvard/Yale game, delaying it by an hour.
See you all again in August.
Happy Tailgating!
P.S. Thank you to all the loyal readers of this blog. I
continue to do this for you.
