Magnolia & Main: Tailgating

Week 3: USC vs ECU

While you cannot call me {and will never be able to call me} a South Carolina football fan... I do enjoy the tailgating. It's one thing that I really look forward to about going to their games.

Especially because my husband really, really, really loves to tailgate before his games. He's truly in his element when the astroturf is rolled out, the tent is up, and the grill is cooking something delicious that he's prepared. I say that Kiawah is my happy place. Tailgating at a USC game is definitely his.

The tailgate for the USC vs ECU game was no exception.

For food, we contributed burgers, black bean & corn salsa, and homemade pimento cheese.

Mainly because I really, really wanted a pimento cheese burger. It was as delicious as I was hoping it would be, too.

We tailgated with some good friends.

& my favorite in-laws!

{for the record, that's a Beat SC State sticker on my shirt, not anything Gamecock related!}

& as for that game?

Well. It was beyond HOT. USC ended up holding on to their lead & beating ECU to improve to 2-1.

We are football free next weekend thanks to both teams traveling to away games but in 12 days I'll be back in Clemson! We're playing Louisville. And I'm more than a little nervous because that team is Dangerous with a capital D {63-20 over FSU? You'd be scared, too} Thank goodness we have them at home this year.
