Virtual Tailgaiting... The next best thing

Sis # 1 writes this awesome Texans fan sportsblog for the Chronicle.

She asked me to invite you all to her "virtual tailgating party."

Deb,

You are cordially invited to come to my Virtual Tailgate. Everyone is invited—thems that can tailgate and thems who are unable to right now.

Here’s the link

I love training camp. When you are still undefeated, it gives you all sorts of hope for the upcoming year and possibilities. And if you are anything like me, you wish in the back of your mind that you could do more to help them win. You see the team trying hard to prepare, but you as a fan can't run sprints, or do drills or two-a-days, or I guess if you did, it wouldn't help much.

So what can the fan do to prepare for the upcoming season? Well friends, it is time to get ready to tailgate.

Tailgating can be a lot of fun, but I feel bad for those fans who are unable to join our Texans tailgates. Some of you can't come to games because of finances or life intervening or because you live out of town.

When I write things in the blog, I often think of the Texans fans who have left comments and are now in Iraq or other places out of town and are just looking for some morsel of Texans information somewhere. Well, I have some football-oriented posts coming up, but in the meantime, I would like to hold a virtual tailgate on FanBlog: Texans.

Because I can.

We are preparing for the season, right? So, to help our friends who cannot join us, especially for those fighting abroad away from friends and family, I would like all fans of the NFL to hold a virtual tailgate here. It's not quite the same as the party at Reliant, but you know, we have to get our practice in for the upcoming season.

So what I would like for you to do is leave a comment about what your favorite food item and beverage to have during tailgates. If you are a master chef, or even a minor chef, please feel free to leave your favorite recipe. If you have some cool tailgating set up, please describe it or maybe leave a link to a picture so that we can imagine we are there. If there is anything else that you believe would make our virtual tailgate complete, bring it on. (It's all in good taste, of course, because kids read this too.)

So help me get the party started!

So, your assignment for today is to head on over to Sis #1's party and leave a comment about your favorite food or beverage item for tailgaiting.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL???!!!!
