Welcome to Tailgate Talk
Oh, to be a college football fan in Clark County.
Husky fans rub shoulders with Cougs, some of whom studied at our local branch campus.
The closest Pac-12 stadium to Clark County is at Oregon State. But Beaver believers, and most everyone else, have been drowned out by Duck fans quacking about four straight BCS bowl trips.
We are a melting pot in so many ways. And that’s enough to give a rabid fan a meltdown.
But don’t worry, this blog is here to help. It’s a virtual tailgate party for Clark County football fans, with a focus on the passion, rivalries, snarkiness and fun that make college football great.
We’ll give you the latest on the Northwest’s Pac-12 teams, but we’ll go beyond the news and shine our low-wattage jumper-cable-rigged spotlight on how fans are feeling about their teams.
We’ll also keep you up to speed with dozens of Clark County athletes playing at small schools around the Northwest.
Dust off the Baggo; season openers are just a month away.
