Tips for tailgating in the rain 1

Is Hurricane Matthew wreaking havoc on your tailgate? (Hopefully not ruining it altogether! Sorry, Florida and LSU images fans, hopefully the SEC will figure a way to reschedule that game which for now is simply cancelled.)

And for those bold and diehard enough to tailgate on, we salute you and know you will have plenty of stories to tell about how Hurricane Matthew couldn’t stop the fun.
