Tequila Night - A FordFamilyTailgating Legacy

No FordFamilyTailgating website would be complete without mentioning the annual FFT tradition of Tequila Night!
Remember fondly of past Tequila Nights here...

Who would believe that TEN YEARS AGO, a little tailgate party could turn out such tradition? Well believe it! Tequila Night 10 is upon us and as we reflect upon the first 10 years, we reflect on all the Tequila Night "Winners" and look forward to many more years of great tailgating!

Tequila Night Award: TBA


Tequila Night is BACK! And we at FFT are looking forward to another memorable and festive party! We're also looking forward to introducing all of our newest members into the Tequila Night Club, including Little Carter, Little Andrew and Little Juba (aren't they ALL called Juba?). So Tequila Night 9 will be on November 18, when the Tigers play Ole Piss under the lights of Tiger Stadium.

Tequila Night Award: TBA


That's right - this year, "Tequila Night 8 - The Ocho" will be on October 22, the day our beloved Tigers take on Tommy Tuberville and the evil Auburn Tigers. So come out and drink some anti-evil potion and have some fun with FFT!

Tequila Night Award:

This is another year of firsts. Our first female winner has been awarded. Melanie showed everyone that women can drink and pass out just as well as the men. She went old school and pulled a Matt by drinking too much that she had to pass out in a car. However, she showed why women are better than men. As soon as the pre-game beats from the stadium interrupted her drunken slumber, Melanie awoke ready to face the music. Rallying from the car on her own, she ran to the stadium, up the ramps and made it to her seat before kickoff even happened. Way to show us all up.
Once again, FFT.com's growing-in-fame-party, Tequila Night, was hugely successful! This time we look forward to the return of Tequila Night Passout King, Matt Holliday to return and reclaim his crown after several years away!

Therefore, we declare the NOVEMBER 13th game against ALABAMA as TEQUILA NIGHT 7!

Tequila Night Award:

Juba has always been a fan of Brant's. From the first day they met, he has been trying to be just like Grandpa. And on this day, he succeeded. By following in his magical footsteps, Juba pulled his own disappearing act, only to later be discovered in the stairwell of the Electrical Engineering bldg. Way to go Juba. You and Brant are two of a kind! (He also made out with some a dude in front of his wife)
Note - One must recognize A. Tony Corbett's efforts on this wonderful night. On most years, he would have won, so we must take this time to give him the only Runner-up award in Tequila Night history. No man has ever cried so much at a tailgate party. Way to prove your manhood and solidify yourself as the softest military man to ever set foot on the Tequila Night Battlefield.

Tequila Night 6 Schedule:
There will be 3 shots in the opening hour of Tequila Night to start off the festivities. If you value participating in the grand opening, arrive before 10am as the first salvo is fired promptly at 10!
We at FFT are also happy to welcome Tequila Night first-timers, including representatives from 3rd Row Tailgating this year!

Tequila Night Award:

Fords win! Theeeee Fords win! That's right. Kevin stepped up and took the lead as best Tequila Night'r. Pissed off still from the Ole Miss guy winning the year before, Kevin matches his efforts with an Aussie shot of his own. But Kevin topped him with making an LSU Mohawk at the party. (See the pictures please). Congrats for being a Ford and being a winner. You win twice!

Tequila Night Cinco was a smashing success! And a disappointed boo to Matt for not showing up to extend his pass-out lead.

"Go bring your Jose or your Patron, it is going to be a long day and a fun night!"

Tequila Night Award:

After a two person winning night, we took it a little slower this year. That's why the winner didn't even have to pass out. All he had to do was shoot Aussie style (snort a line of salt and squeeze a lime in his eye.) Way to go random Ole Miss guy. You win.

Tequila Night IV
October 2001 - Ole Miss
2001's Twenty-One Shot Salute

Tequila Night Award:

Meares & Tim Cook take the cake for their first ever "Team Passing Out" championship. Paying homage to Matt's first performance, they make it to the truck and spend their time there instead of in the stadium.

TNT (Tequila Night Three)
October 2000 - Mississippi State

Tequila Night Award:

The problem with Tequila Night is you can so easily forget what happened. I guess we all won since none of us remember what happened!

Tequila Night 2
October 1999 - Ole Miss

Tequila Night Award:

Brant wins with his impressive disappearing act. Once found on the stairs behind the Nuclear Science building, Brant was clearly the winner and celebrated by passing out in the newly named "Pass Out" chair

The Original Tequila Night
October 1998 - Kentucky

Tequila Night Award:

Matt wins the inaugural award by not making it to the game due to passing out in a car at the tailgate party
