We Need Your Help to Stock the Ultimate Tailgate Bracket

Tailgating is like...90 percent of what LSU fans do it seems. And we do it better than the best. We are the #DBU of tailgating, so to speak.

But what makes it the best? Food, family, friends, fun, booze, tunes, a great slate of games to watch...but let's be real. It's usually about the food.

So we thought we'd start a tournament to crown the ultimate tailgating delight. After some consideration, we have identified the four most common categories, which are regions because brackets and what not: Black Pot, Barbecue & Grilling, Deep Fried and Appetizers/Snacks. Obviously, there is some overlap because some appetizers are deep fried or grilled and all that, but I tried to stay as consistent as possible. Plus we're stretching to be as inclusive as possible as it is, as you can see from the bean differentiation. Besides, the goal here is to stock a full bracket with 64 items. If we have to cut it to 32 we will, but that's where you come in.

What do you think? What did we miss? What do you LOVE at your tailgate that's not on our list? What should we TAKE off? Are the categories wrong? Some have suggested booze deserves its own category. We're open to suggestions.

We want to hear your suggestions in the comments. From there we'll seed things and we can start the competition, which will be voted on by, of course, you the readers.

So what say you?
