Intro to the Site

Welcome to The Tailgate. A blog dedicated to all things sports. On this site we will cover College Football, NFL, College Basketball, and NBA as well as some gambling picks and even recipes that are perfect for your fall tailgates.

Im starting this blog for a few reasons: 1) I have a lot of takes and it will be nice to have somewhere to write them all down, 2) I’ve always enjoyed writing about sports, in college I worked at the Auburn Plainsman for a few semesters so I figure this will be a good place to continue, and 3) Having entered the real world and working in a corporate setting I felt my writing skills (however small they are) have begun to fade so I want to continue to work this muscle so I don’t lose it all together.

Most of my content will center around football. It is my favorite sport and what I grew up watching and playing. I am personally a fan of the Auburn Tigers (class of 2019) and the Washington Football Team (we need a name, more on that later i’m sure).

FAIR WARNING: I’m going to be wrong… a lot. I’m not an expert on anything. I’m just a fan watching games and putting his thoughts into writing. I want this site to be conversational, if you’re reading leave a comment or call me out on twitter (@thetailgateblog). One of the most fun things about the culture of sports is debating with other fans.. So feel free to disagree, you’re probably right.
