If you are a student pursuing your degree at a hallowed institute of high learning and you have found a way to incorporate tailgating not only into your life, but your studies, we want to hear from you.  Are you currently working on a research project, a thesis, a paper that involves the Party in the Parking Lot? Send us a picture or a summary and the Commissioner of Tailigating, who holds a Ph.D  Pickes, Hamburgers & Desserts!) in Tailgating, will grade it for you.  Hey, Commish...here's my project...
 

My name is Marissa Broe and I am junior journalism major at Syracuse University. I have written an article on "How to Throw the Best Tailgate". Through my research I have found that you are an expert on the pregame  festivities. I have attached a copy of my story and a photo of my friends and I at a recent tailgate at Heinz Field. I am the furthest to the right in the photo. I hope you enjoy the piece.

From Christine Mersch, University of Cincinnati...I met the Commissioner in 2004 in Cincinnati, OH, at a Bengals vs. Broncos game. The two teams were playing a televised, Monday-night football game. I was writing an article for a class I was taking at the time at the University of Cincinnati. I promised I would send the article when it was done, so here it is.  I also submitted the article into a writing contest and ...More good news: I won the contest! My article on you won the 2005 Lafcadio Hearn journalism prize.
From the Commish:   Congratulations and 2 Forks Up!.  Click here to read Christine's article.
