You could smell it. The hamburgers, sausages, hot dogs, scrapple sandwiches, and BBQ chicken cooking on the grills. You could feel it. The excitement. The anticipation. The deliria. Those of us that attended Sundays game against the Bucs were there to witness history . . . and we were excited about it. The Bucs game was Joe Gibbs’ first regular season game since returning to the Redskins. The victory would also be #500 for the Reskins. Ladies and Gentlemen, it doesn’t get much better than that.
This week, TheHogs.Net tailgate was up and running again and there were a lot of folks partying nearby. We met some old friends (from previous tailgates) as well as some new friends. It was obvious that all of us were a little stir-crazy at the thought of entering FedEx Field and seeing Joe Gibbs coach his first regular season game . . . and we surely weren’t disappointed, were we?
There were a lot of Hogs.Net brothers in attendance this week. Including myself, DEHog and Hailskins666 (which will be the “regulars” at the tailgates), there was also JPFair, Jansenfan, and RedskinsRule56. In the future, we hope a lot more of our fellow Hogs.Net brothers and sisters come out and join us. If you do, be sure to remember to wear your Hogs.Net tee-shirts!!!
Many other people stopped by our tailgate this week. Here’s what they had to say (and my apologies if I misspelled anyone’s name):

Folks, this is just the beginning of our tailgate activities. Each week, we expect it to grow, and to become bigger and better. We are here to tell others about the best Redskins website on the ‘Net and to celebrate Redskins football. We would love it if you all came out to join us!
