Gameday Happenings
Big Orange Tailgaters Tailgate
The Official BOT Tailgate. Follow the map and come and join us for fine food, HDTV, and fan comraderie before and after the big game. We will be having some great themes this year including Seafood Volunteers for the Florida game. Don't know how to find us just follow the map and you will find us!
Where
We will be in the parking lot of the UT Federal Creit Union at the corner of 21st and White Avenue. If you don't have a place to park, this is a great location with easy access before and after the game and parking is still a reasonable $20 per game. We usually have plenty of food, and as usual we recommend bringing your own Adult Beverages (but there are usually plenty if you're forgetful). Come and join a bunch of party people for a relaxed but spirited pregame tradition....the singing of David Alan Coe's big hit and a great tailgate.
