They have nothing on college athletic programs. I hope Nike leaves room for the Kroger patch on the new uniform template. Panhandling at every turn. A Cook Out logo should also fit where we have Drive for 25 painted on the field too.

what do I do with my hands?
Shake em while you yell curses skyward.
Remove those shoulder stripes and in its place put a Smithfield Bacon strip.
I'm good with that.
The ABE uniforms - All Bacon Everything 🥓
We'll be ranked #1 Best Smelling Team during those afternoon September games.
Advertising Hero Move: Use the smell technology Disney uses to pump bacon aroma around the stadium at random times during the game and during Smithfield ads on the jumbotron.
Makes you wonder why we haven't started selling Smithfield bacon wrapped turkey legs during games.
Last time I attended a home game, I was so psyched to try the turkey leg. They were sold out before half time. WTH!?! Was so bummed.
Anyone know if that is normal for the legs to be gone that quickly. Wonder if you should get one as soon as you get in the stadium.
Kill me, shun me... Overrated in a big way. Turkey legs in general. A good wood smoke and BBQ sauce makes the first bite or 2 "edible" - that's it. Greasy, fatty, little flavor that is not just a salt rub, etc. They don't serve them in any decent restaurant anywhere in the world. They don't serve them in 95% of BBQ places in the south either.
It's definitely fair food, like fried Oreos, or something like that. I find it's best when shared with someone you don't mind swapping germs with. And it's fun as a game day treat as a Hokie, or if at a fair/festival, you get to walk around with a big club of meat like a Viking!
Never had one, but when somebody nearby has one, the smell is delicious. Adding bacon would put the smell over the top.
I mostly agree. Lane's turkey legs smell WAY better than they taste. And they taste fine. and it's good stadium food because no utensils are required, and the fattiness is great when you're drunk. But yea, mostly agree.
Thank you - and everyone below! - for the feedback. Guess I didn't miss much after all.
Fight me bro. If you haven't had a good turkey leg that's on you. There's 3 main reason I assume you don't see them at most BBQ places.
1. It's not traditional BBQ. If turkey legs were part of a pig, or cow for any Texans round these parts, I guarantee you'd see them
2. Availability. Turkey just isn't as popular as beef, pork, and chicken in general. It's hard to find a supply of turkey legs period much less Tom legs. The hens are good too, but less visually impressive due to size.
3. Turkey legs take more effort to make them really good. You can generally get away with putting some rub on a pork butt or brisket and then throwing on a smoker and still get good results. Turkey legs need a good brine to get flavor penetration. Further more, to give away a personal secret, I think they need to be finished by deep frying them so that you get crispy skin.
I could've gotten on board if you said the legs at the game are mediocre, but if you're sleeping on turkey legs in general, you're missing out.
Of all the things to take away from what I said. I'm glad it was this. Have A leg
I focused on the finishing deep.
I always do bb 😘
Dc...
I'm right there with you🤷🏿♂️. Lol
I get one about every 3-4 years. I'll get it early and then gnaw on it throughout the game. I will agree with the sentiment that it's about 75% novelty - nice to swing around when something good happens in the game and you definitely get the caveman vibe going.
To answer your question Frosty, yes they almost always sell out before halftime. Best bet is to go get one right after kickoff.
With that said, I agree with DC and others. They're a novelty and sort of tradition. I'm not a fan of turkey meat anyway but i've got them before just to say i have.
Wouldn't they have to be turkey bacon?
No. Turkey bacon is an abomination, and must be systematically wiped out.
Correct... why? simple. There is no "bacon" on a turkey- none- there is no belly "fat" below the ribs of a turkey or chicken. So straight away, it's processed garbage. And no healthier for you.. its a tube of pork flavored tofu made to look like "bacon". In every sense of it, it's a farce. Think about it.
