The Traditions
Rookies Sign the Pole
The flag pole has been a marker of all who have participated in making BigCat
Tailgating an experience that is a befitting celebration of the great game of football. All
there in black and white. So make sure your mark your place on the team and sign pole.
The BigToast with Panther Juice
Our Toast to the Panthers has become a pretty BigEvent at each tailgate
party. It is the culmination of the pregame activites. We pour a marvelous
concoction of highly flammable flavors and into a 100 dixie cups. We also
provide a lighter version of for our younger folks and folks who choose not
to float to the game. We hold the cups high 1 hour before kickoff and
celebrate good friends, good food, and good football provided by the black
and blue. Only the BigCat is permitted to pour the juice in this most sacred
ritual.
The Touching the Post
After the toast many of the tailgaters exit and touch a steel post located at
the rear of the presto grill. A strange tradition that began with the first
tailgating of the modern era. AC –After Clemson. October 6, 2002- A show
down against the Arizona Cardinals. The food that day happened to be
brats and Italian sausage sandwiches. The beers were cold and the
sausage was hot. My good friend, Steve Bray was gobbling down the
Sausage in large bites. Steve comes from a large family and gobbling
down the food was a survival technique. I digress. Well the large bites
appeared to be a bit much for the Kansas boy’s gullet and a piece lodged
about halfway down. Not so that he cold not breathe. But uncomfortable
that he hacked and coughted for a good 20 min. Finally he expectorated
the hunk. And a hunk it was. Huge. Relieved he could breathe freely… and
drink beer again. More beer and before we headed to the game Steve put
the hunk of expectorated sausage on top of the post. It it remained there
for over 3 months. We would look at the top of the post every night on our
way home and the sausage stayed in place. Amazing. So we touch the
post in honor of the first tailgate and the staying power of the sausage.
Paying Homage to Sam
We march to the stadium and to the Sam Mills Statue, the guys touch Sams battle worn
helmet and the ladies slap Sam on the butt. It is touching the past. Keep Pounding.
