That is great news! Good work to Don and Ray for getting this first year contest filled up and making it a Jack qualifier.

We are looking forward to a fun weekend!

I sitting at an airshow in Lakeland right now and will be here till Sunday.... wish i could be there. I'm starting to think these Whisky bent over boys need to get their bottoms spanked proper like....:) Hmmm gonna have to look at the schedule and come out swingin.....
Great Job Don.....good luck to everyone

[WhiskeyBentBBQ]

Jimmy - We did get a dose of reality last weekend in Tavares. Maybe we can both make it to Suwannee and see who wins that boat oar this year and dolles out the spanking!

Look forward to seeing you at a contest soon. Enjoy Sun-n-Fun, I lived about a tenth of a mile from it for the first 20 years of my life so it lost it's luster to me many, many years ago.

Toooooo funny!!! should we get Stump in the mix?????

Whiskey Bent over...that's funny.

I'm looking to get my Backyard Grand trophies insured...before I go and get my first real one. Lloyds of London, maybe?

Here it is...my what I know about who I think may be there.

1. Good Buddies...a long shot to take down the whole thing. Realistically, we are gunning for two calls and a top 10 overall. If I had a few beers on the car ride down there and was asked what I'm really shooting for, I would say 7th overall / 724 points.

2. Rub..."compete on one good leg", that sounds like the beginning of the conversation prior to my conception. Crystal ball says that Rub has been on the shelf, watching, testing, and a pit pissed about dropping in the National BBQ Rankings. Without knowing all of the contenders, I'm going to say a disappointing 4th overall / 741 points.

3. Heavenly Hog...welcome to the game. It's like the guy who gets drafted in the first round of the MLB draft by the Royals, but he's better than most of their talent so he is thrown into the game. Moral of the story...he gets shelled and goes back to the minors. Overall score 712 points.

4. Whiskey Bent...nice job in Tavares boys! I bet you had your minds made up after that first category that it was gonna be another day in paradise. 1st Chicken, 9th Ribs, 7th Pork, 14th Brisket, 11th overall. Ouch. Somebody screwed the brisket up...I think he resides in Cleveland now. I like these boys to bounce back, but hard with two guys. If Vann makes it back from Cleveland I like these boys to win. Without him, this weekend, Reserve Grand Champion 749 points.

Who else is gonna be there that would love to be reviewed? Send me $5 to my paypal account and I'll be honest with you. I'm teaching life lessons and sometimes that is a dish best served sunny side up. You know what I'm talking about...exactly!

If you don't like it...go dry accelerate a jet ski.

Good Buddies will have to be a VERY LONG SHOT since they are not competing at Venice. Total 33 teams but no Good Buddies.

I'm hoping to attend this event as a spectator and meet some of the southern Brethren. Does FBA have similar timelines, as far as turn-ins, as KCBS? Don't want to show up at the wrong time.

That does make it a bit more difficult.

[Heavenly Hog]

I'm just hoping for a Top 33 finish.

The FBA standard turn-in times are:
Chicken 11:00
Ribs: 12:00
Pork: 1:00
Brisket 2:00

Awards 5:00 or sooner

Come early. Free parking, free admission....

I hear you there. Us backyard guys don't know what we're doing. As long as we aren't disqualified on anything, then thats a victory.
