These installments captured … Read more
TheHogs.net put the finishing touches on their inaugural tailgate season last Sunday. Once again we were honored to tailgate with the Hogettes.

1. Purple Pounder People The Vikings made the playoffs – after being whipped by the Redskins in the final game of the year.
