National showdown: Clemson vs. Alabama tailgating gear

So is it coincidence that Clemson and Alabama are facing off in the national championship game tonight – two of the best tailgating football schools in America? We here at Inside Tailgating think not. And we took it upon ourselves on a “grills-n-gear” Monday to peruse some of the finer tailgating paraphernalia that are marketed in the name of both schools. We found a few interesting items and thought we’d share for a little pre-game entertainment. In no particular order, we have:

The Clemson Tiger Tailgate Net. So this net, quite literally goes on the tailgate of your pickup truck, apparently. But when I saw it, I thought something else – why not put that thing on the back of your SUV? For those of us with crawling babies who have had to sit on the back of a tailgate to keep a child entertained – and contained – one of these, or something similar with a little more structure, would have been perfect! Travel playpen!

Sorry, Clemson, South Carolina state cutting boards wouldn’t exactly work for you – Gamecocks get that honor, but we like the look for the ‘Bama faithful.

So yeah, betcha a lot of this stuff is going to go on sale Tuesday morning. Small consolation for the losing team, but consolation nonetheless!
