Riff, ram, bah, zoo. We’re waving goodbye to summer and hello to fall tailgates. The TCU football team kicks off the season at home on Saturday., Sept. 2 against the University of Colorado. That gives less than two weeks to prepare.
And by “prepare,” we mean figure out how much stuff you can cram in your truck bed. Ready to spruce up your pregame party? We’ve got you covered with our ultimate TCU tailgate guide.
