Ah, homecoming season. Whether you’re an avid tailgate goer or a one timer, everyone loves the homecoming tailgate. When you’re ready to go to the tailgate with your overpriced UH t-shirt and tiny “H” temporary tattoo stuck to your face, keep an eye out for these types of people with the help of the one and only: Kim Kardashian.
Ā
- The MoochWe all know (and canāt stand) the mooch. This is the person, male or female, who wanders around the tailgate visiting each tent in the hopes of getting drunk on someone elsesĀ alcohol. Theyāll drink a few of your beers then off to the next tent they go to catch another helpless victim.Ā
- The person who had 10 too manyThereās always that one person there who pre-games, gets to the tailgate early, and is done by 2:00Ā p.m., four hours before the game even starts. Props to you buddy, you go harder than I ever will.Ā
- The BabysitterEvery group has one. Thereās always that one sober brother or sister who has to look out for and take care of the rest of the drunken group. Theyāre that true friend who will shove a pretzel down your throat after you start walking into walls. Gotta love āem, even though they’re probably hardcore hating on you.Ā
- The one who only goes to the tailgateBecause why would you want to sit on plastic bleachers when you can pay $50 for an Ćber home and watch the game in bed?Ā
- The Frat BoysEveryone hates on the Frat boys, especially at UH, but lets be realā would there even be a tailgate if it weren’t for them?
- The CopsThey watch from afar waiting to jump into the game and SHUT IT DOWN. Let us live people, let us live.Ā
- The overly spirited squadAlthough we rarely see them make an appearance at UH, there is often that person (or group of people) who goĀ all out with the facepaint and gear. We all secretly want a picture with them, donāt we?Ā
- The FreshmanTypically seen with a lanyard around their necks, school ID front and center,Ā standing on the outskirts of the larger jumble of people.
- The āOther Teamā FansAlthough they are few and far between,Ā sometimes they’re even a bit more rowdy than we are.Ā
- The “Single as aĀ Pringle” andĀ “Ready to Freakinā Mingle” people.These are the people that constantly flirt up a storm, hoping to find someone to “netflix and chill” with them once the game ends. Classic.Ā
No matter what category you’re in, have fun and be safe at the tailgates.Ā #GOBOWS
