Collegiate Tailgating & Grilling Gift Boxes are Here!

A condition known as March Madness will soon infect millions throughout the United States as NCAA basketball fever sweeps across the country.

If you're a frenzied fan of college hoops and your favorite school happens to be located in the South, I have good news:  The Carolina Sauce Company now offers officially-licensed Collegiate Tailgating and Grilling Gift Boxes with zesty sauces, salsas and other condiments, featuring the colors and logos of many colleges and universities in the south!

The Collegiate Grilling Sauces Gift Set is a sturdy cardboard gift box containing three full-size bottles of zesty grilling sauces for marinating, BBQ-ing, grilling, basting, mopping, slathering and dipping ribs and other red meats, chicken, shrimp, fish and grilled vegetables. You get a bottle each of spicy Cajun grilling sauce, tangy Lime grilling sauce, and sweet & sassy Peach grilling sauce. This Gift Box is available for the following NCAA college and university teams:  Alabama Crimson Tide, Auburn Tigers, Clemson Tigers, Florida Gators, Florida State Seminoles, Georgia Bulldogs. Georgia Southern Eagles, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Kentucky Wildcats, LSU Tigers, Miami Hurricanes, Mississippi State Bulldogs, Ole Miss Rebels, South Carolina Gamecocks, TCU Horned Frogs, Tennessee Volunteers, Texas A&M Aggies, Texas Longhorns,Texas Tech Red Riders, and the Virginia Tech Hokies.

If you like to snack on hot and spicy food while watching the game, and if you happen to root for the Alabama Crimson Tide, we have a special pair of sauces just for you (and your fellow Alabama fans who enjoy fiery foods). The Alabama Crimson Tide Hot & Spicy Gift Box comes with a bottle of classic cayenne pepper hot sauce to spice up your favorite game day foods, from burgers to grilled or fried chicken, chili, chip dips and more. It's also perfect for whipping up your own Buffalo wing sauce for tossing with chicken wings or buffalo shrimp. The second item in this gift box is a jar of fiery, flavorful picante sauce for dipping chips, topping nachos, spicing up tacos or burritos, and even on hamburgers or anywhere else you'd want to use a spicy salsa or alternative to ketchup. The gift box, hot sauce and picante sauce are labeled with the officially licensed logo and colors of the University of Alabama to show your school spirit and support for the Crimson Tide.

Because virtually all grilled or smoked foods taste better when seasoned with a good dry rub or BBQ seasoning, we offer a Collegiate Grill Seasonings Grill Box that you'll want to bring along when you tailgate before the game and have on hand when you fire up the barbecue grill or smoker at home. Whether the menu features beef or pork ribs, steaks, chops, brisket, chicken, seafood, kabobs, or burgers, the three grill seasonings in this box will bring out the best in all. They come in spicy Cajun, zesty Sweet BBQ, and robust Steak seasoning. The Gift Box and rubs are labeled with the colors and logos of your choice of Alabama Crimson Tide, or Texas Longhorns.

They say variety is the spice of life, and our Collegiate Tailgating Gift Box offers both variety AND spice. Each box features three different sauces and condiments to complement whatever you cook up and serve before, during and after the game -- a 16 oz jar of tangy, all-American barbecue sauce for slathering on whatever you grill, a 16 oz jar of zesty picante salsa for dipping chips or veggies and enjoying on burgers and sandwiches, and a 5 oz bottle of spicy cayenne pepper hot sauce for splashing some heat on anything that needs it. This Gift Box is available for the following NCAA college and university teams: Alabama Crimson Tide, Auburn Tigers, Clemson Tigers, Florida Gators, Florida State Seminoles, Georgia Bulldogs. Georgia Southern Eagles, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Kentucky Wildcats, LSU Tigers, Miami Hurricanes, Mississippi State Bulldogs, Ole Miss Rebels, South Carolina Gamecocks, TCU Horned Frogs, Tennessee Volunteers, Texas A&M Aggies, Texas Longhorns,Texas Tech Red Riders, and the Virginia Tech Hokies.

Last but not least, our Texas Longhorns Zesty Sauces Gift Set is guaranteed to please palates that prefer big, bold sauces with Texas-size flavor.  The gift box includes a 16 oz jar of spicy picante salsa for nachos, tacos, chili, etc., a 16 oz jar of zesty nacho cheese sauce (ditto -- and it also makes a great dip for chips, chicken nuggets, fries, etc.), and a 16 oz jar of robust, tangy-sweet BBQ sauce that's excellent for grilled chicken, ribs, and other barbecue favorites.
