Cool New Tailgate Delicacy: Deep Fried Helmet

The Texas A&M Aggies face the South Carolina Gamecocks on the road this weekend, but the psychological battle between fanbases has already been won. Aggies blog TexAgs published a video this afternoon that I can only describe as culinarily harrowing. As you can see above, they deep fried a Gamecocks helmet. Put batter on it and cooked it right on up.

Turns out, they’ve done something horrible to the helmets (usually) of every opponent they’ve faced this year. A UCLA helmet got crushed in a hydraulic press.

Prarie View A&M was the cupcake team on their schedule this year, so they made PVA&M cupcakes then blew them up.

Once SEC play started, they went back to helmets and kicked it up a notch, smashing an Auburn helmet treated with liquid nitrogen.

Finally, Arkansas has a pig mascot, so TexAgs put an apple in the helmet grill and flamethrowered it to death.

It’s unclear if anyone involved in the video ate any of the deep fried helmet.
