Professional Tailgating: Step One

So the OTWT Tailgating Crew kicked off their 1,000 miles of sports related  travel in Philly for Game 2 of the National League Divisional Series between the Cards and Phillies. After falling behind early the Cards rallied to be the Phillies 5-4 and even the series at 1-1.

Check out Andy Reid's 2001 coaching staff, look at all of those head coaches on that staff. It's Bill Walsh like. 

What A Week

 

Starting Sunday, the OTWT Tailgating Crew will have one of its busiest weeks ever. During the next week, we will be attending Game 2 of the National League Division Series between the Phillies and Cards, the Pitt at Rutgers college football game on Saturday and then head up to the Eagles at Bills game on Sunday afternoon.

It might be a long time in a car, but there are stories that are sure to be told after its all over. Follow our trip on twitter or check youtube  for videos from our fun.
