Meet New Guy 2 - Kris Buhrdorf


Joining the MB tour in 2018 will be Kris Buhrdorf.  It is easy to see in looking at his last name that he is related to original member Kevin Buhrdorf.  Kris is the son of Kevin thus making them the 3rd Father/Son participants over the years.   

Kris grew up in Christiansburg VA and is a 2017 graduate of Virginia Tech.  He current works at Virginia Tech as a programmer and lives in Blacksburg.  It is hard to consider him as new considering he has been tailgating at home and away Hokie games with many of the MB participants his entire life.  

His favorite hobbies include tailgating, watching sports, drinking beer, video games, and playing golf.  He is a diehard Cleveland Cavs, Jets and Red Sox fan, and spends every Fall Saturday tailgating with family and friends.  If it sounds like Kris is an exact clone of Kevin you’re not far off.  Only way to tell them apart is that Kris prefers pounding down Leinenkugel Grapefruit Shandys instead of Shiner Bocks.   A couple things of note.  if you’re his designated drinking buddy, it’s best to remind him to put some food in his system during his 12-hour pre-game imbibing regimen.  

The only red flag with this dude is his unnatural obsession with all things Kanye West and Lebron.  On the plus side, his inclusion on MB tour lowers the average age of participants to about 45.  Easiest way to rattle him and get him off his game at MB is to utter two little words: “Taylor Swift”.  He hates her like his Dad hates Boise State.  In the final analysis, if you like Kevin, you’re gonna love this guy!
