Once again we were honored to tailgate with the Hogettes. The chili was hot, the beer was cold, and the Redskins closed out the season with a win. It doesn\u2019t get much better than that. We had fun getting to know many of you this season&#8230; guys like JP Fair, Wysocki and the Canadian bothers, you\u2019ll are great fans and we look forward to tailgating with you next season. Be sure to check out the photo gallery for pictures of the tailgate parties.<\/p>\n<p>We were also privileged to again attend the Redskins &#8216;after party&#8217; in the player\u2019s parking lot. This week\u2019s party was, as you would imagine, more upbeat than the Eagles game. Many players attended, Cory Raymer, Patrick Ramsey, John Hall, Chris Samuels, Brandon Noble, Ladell Betts, Cornelius Griffin and Darnrien McCants to name a few. I had a nice conversation with defensive coordinator Greg Williams, who assures me he\u2019ll be back next season.<\/p>\n<p>We will stay busy in the off season planning a bigger and better tailgate party for the 2005 season. So start planning to join us now&#8230; we would like to get as many of you as possible to become regulars with us at FedEx next season. We will also stay involved with the Redskins during the off-season all the way up to camp. Be sure to stay plugged in to theHogs.net for all the latest information on some of the team\u2019s off-season events.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again for all of you who came out and supported theHogs.net. It\u2019s you the members that make it so much fun for those of us here at the site. The tailgate party gives us the opportunity to put some faces to the names! Have a safe and healthy 2005 and we\u2019ll see ya at the stadium!<\/p>\n<p>Edit: This blog was archived in May of 2016 from our original articles database.It was originally posted by Dan Hines<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TheHogs.net put the finishing touches on their inaugural tailgate season last Sunday.
