UAB vs. Memphis Tigers Football

As most of you know, we have been excited about the UAB football game in November against Memphis here at home. Partly because of the rivalry and atmosphere, but also because we were planning to tail gate with the Smoking Rig starting the day before and inviting th BBQ Team to participate.

The two schools have been passing a trophy back and forth depending on who has won the game for a few years now. The trophy is a rack of ribs because of the history rib cooking has in both Birmingham and Memphis (Memphis is better of course).Well, it just got better, believe it or not. For the first time, they are going to have a rib only BBQ cooking contest with both schools invited to participate, professional and amateur teams alike.

There will be awards, trophies, and an entry in to Memphis In May BBQ contest awarded. The only other category is BBQ sauce. What a perfect cap to an already wonderfully planned weekend! Mark it on your calenders, and plan to be there.

Here is the link to read all about it.
