Beyond The Tailgate Proudly Announces Partnership with Texas A&M Hotel and Conference Center

College Station, TX, Sept. 3, 2021 — When you walk into your room at Texas A&M’s on-campus hotel, less than a football field’s distance away from Kyle Field, you will now find an Aggie-inspired memoir “Beyond The Tailgate” available to read in all guest rooms. Written by Jim and Cheryl Flint ‘94, the book connects the dots on a decade’s worth of tailgating, the Spirit of Aggieland and what the time-honored traditions mean to friends and family.

Just in time for the first Texas A&M home game of the season, Fightin’ Texas Aggie tailgating returns to campus for the first time since the fall of 2019. The memoir, available for purchase in the hotel gift shop, helps grow the Jim and Cheryl Flint ‘94 endowed scholarship. Each semester, the proceeds help to reward and financially relieve an Aggie.

“I’m excited to share our experiences by giving back to a place that means the world to us,” Jim Flint said. “We’re just so happy that the book’s been made available to people staying at the Texas A&M Hotel. When we started all this we couldn’t have imagined it, because there wasn’t an on-campus hotel at the time, but we are so excited to stay connected to the University in this new, exciting way.”

Each chapter uniquely expresses the perspective from both husband and wife as they participated in the explosive growth of Aggie football and tailgating.

“Beyond the Tailgate” received Amazon Top 100 recognition in the categories of “Football” and ``Relationships” based on book sales. All proceeds go toward Texas A&M scholarships. Hardback and paperback books can be found on Amazon to purchase alongside Kindle and Audible options.

Jim’s first two novels Car Dog Millionaire and 20/20 Vision reside on Amazon as well. This is Cheryl’s first book.
