Texas Law Alumni Tailgate

Each fall, before a Longhorn home game, alumni bring their friends and families to the South Lawn for the Texas Law Alumni Tailgate, a tradition going strong since 1998. It’s a family-friendly afternoon of barbeque, camaraderie, live music, and yard games, with world-famous South Texas barbeque from pitmasters Eduardo Rodriguez ’68, Michael Rodriguez ’94, and their talented crew

Meet Our Pitmaster, Eduardo Rodriguez ’68

Every year since 1998, alumni and their families look forward to Eduardo Rodriguez’s delicious BBQ at Texas Law’s tailgate party. It’s not just the hundreds of pounds of chicken, beef, quail, and sausage that attract attendees. It’s the sense of community and care that Rodriguez, with his family and friends, inspires.
