From what I understand the Adami's were involved with this tailgate at the beginning. Originally they were going to bring down their smoker pit, but the SMU athletic department wanted something less home grown. Hence, James Coney Island is catering the event. Obviously there was a slush fund somewhere in the athletic department waiting for a game like this.

Go Mustangs!

You know things are starting to look up when we start talking about Athletic Department slush funds :-)

Hi Guys -- just want to clear up some things here. I originally talked to Allan Adami about bringing his smoker to our tailgate, but after the game results last Saturday, things took a quantum leap. Now we're expecting a ton of people, so we've rented a big tent and will cater the whole thing. I posted the announcement this morning under "SMU ALUMNI TENT at Rice." This is an Alumni Relations shindig, and thanks go to Brad Cheves and Mark Peterson in Development & External Affairs for springing for this!
Also, the location is in the grassy area on the east side of the stadium, just south of Gate 3 (not gate 2 as stated above).
See y'all there!
