What a Game!

It was a barn burner of a game this week as we traveled to Athens, TN and took the Tailgate Tour to McMinn Co. High School. The Cherokees of McMinn Co. got the win in double overtime...24-21.

The fans began pouring into the stadium and we were right there to capture their attention and their attire as the arrived for what turned out to be an incredible high school football match-up.

Even though the Admirals were not able to pull it out in the end, their senior supporters were right there behind them all the way. In fact, these guys were the first ones to the stadium.

We had a great time and we are definitely looking forward to hitting the road once again next Friday as we visit the campus of Dobyns Bennett high school in Kingsport, TN.

Check back each week to see if your picture made it to the blog.

Bulldogs Great Hosts!

And the Tailgate Tour continues....Smyrna High School was host of the most recent tour stop and we had a lot of fun. We met a lot of new people and enjoyed a great game of football.

If we shot your picture at the tour then you might just find it right here. Or you might see yourself in the video at the bottom of this blog episode.

One thing that I noticed that the Smyrna Bulldogs do real well and that is Tailgate. The folks started getting to the game a couple of hours early with their grills and campers and were staking claim to their favorite spots. You could smell great food all across the campus.

I walked around and visited with some of the folks and everyone was super nice and looking forward to a great game.

I even got to meet the parents of Chris Jordan. One of the players that we profiled in Tennessee Football magazine this year.

Once inside the game I found a couple of guys that seemed to be a little confused.


Who knows wht they were thinking?


Were they trying to tell me that both Tennessee and Alabama are number One? I don't think so!

Maybe they were trying to tell me that this was their first ball game?

Anyway...they seemed to be having a good time.

The Eagles Flew High

The Gibbs Eagles Flew High over the Union County Patriots 23-6. Here's a shot I got of the Gibbs Quarterback Joey Shipman as he scampered from the Patriots defense.

The Tailgate Tour visited the Union County high school this week as they took on the Eagles of Gibbs High School. The Patriots lost the game but the Tour was a Huge success!

The hospitality of UCHS was superb and the fans were awesome. I think that we probably had as much fun as the fans did.

Lots of fun and games were enjoyed by all and the music provided by Love 89FM was great!

Each week as we take photos at the Tour we are adding them to our picturebook. We want to see which school has the most spirit and which fans are the most elaborate when it comes to dressing in their school colors or painting their faces or whatever might be done.

We had a chance this past Friday to meet some new people, see some new faces and add some "Game Faces" to our picturebook.

If you see us at your school make sure to ask us to see our picturebook. There are some real crazy fans out there. Here's a short video clip of some of the action from Union County High School.

We'll look for you this next week as we travel to Smyrna High School when they take on Brentwood Academy!

Tour Visits Tornadoes

Once again we took the the road for the State Farm High School footbal Tailgate Tour. The stop this time was in Alcoa, TN to see the Maryville Red Rebels take on the Alcoa Tornadoes.

The tour area was buzzing the entire time with music, games and giveaways. The Knoxville TVA Employees Credit Union crew was with us and they were giving away rally towels for both teams fans that wanted one. Look for them to be with us in the Knoxville area to get your rally towel with your own school colors. They will also give you a chance to win a Yellow VW Bug Boombox.

As with each tour stop we always look for you the fan to "Show us Your Game Face." We got a few shots of some faces at this game and we look forward to seeing how elaborate you can be we we come to your school.

So, be sure to look for us at your school and "Show us Your Game Face"! This week we will be traveling up to Union County High School to see the Patriots take on the Eagles from Gibbs High School. We hope to see you there!
