Insight Bowl trip was a blast. Enjoyed the stay in AZ doing the tourist thing, the tailgate and the game. Best home tailgate for me will always be WV in the Blizzard. Never have so few drank so much for so many.
The insight bowl tailgate was the greatest ever

@AreYouNUTSHere's a photo of Nuts with Marley. I'm at the top in the middle.
this might be what you are looking for but I don't know how to make it come thru.
Mike - can you please forward me this picture. I somehow have lost it again (and it's not showing up here) lol!! Thx!Here's a photo of Nuts with Marley. I'm at the top in the middle.
The Chapparelle Suites story:'
My buddy Murph (Kinnelon/Lawrence) went to ASU....until he got kicked out....his roommate's family owned the hotel (roommate got kicked out as well....shocker!). As soon as the game was announced Murph let me know. We got the same rate per suite, per night, that they gave ND fans (they were playing OSU in The Fiesta Bowl 5(?) days later). I helped book EVERY suite in the places, for some 300 total "room nights," in about 3 days. The debauchery that ensued, over those 3-4 days, I don't think will ever be reached again. Oh yeah...the 4(?) members of the dance team stayed there as well....oh to be young(er) again!
Anyway....I can't even imagine what was left behind for the cleaning staff to find, lol!!!
*** this was also the beginning of the "AreYouNUTS" Bowl Party Story!!!

@AreYouNUTS LOL..the stuff you can find on the internet. Unless you played keyboard for them it isn't you lol but you can always photoshop yourself in if Mike can't help. (he does look like a chubby version though)
I think I got 10-hours of sleep the 1st 3 nights I was there. Night 4, my dad took me and my buddy Murph out to dinner at a Greek place and I could barely keep my head up off of the table lol! I couldn't even drink at that point (and he got 2 bottles of REALLY good wine...)!!
No luck, Nuts. 👎 I had the photo in an old Photobucket account. When they started charging to host photos, my account was deactivated. I have a hardcopy photo somewhere, but don't know where it is.
Here's the only digital photo I have from Jackson's on Third that day. I found it an old email message.
Me and Marley!
Just saw this thread again and fortunately, I've gotten much better at figuring out hosting of graphics and pics, so while it's not quite ASAP, here's Marley and here's a pic of @LeapinLou (and a strategic shot of one of the thong girls in the background), which I took not long before they did Born To Run and she handed us the mic for a verse. What a freakin' fun day and trip.
Wish I could find the video that the Ledger (Kevin Manahan) did from Greasy Tony's the day before the bowl game that featured my best friend and I (the article quoted us, but the video was better). Turns out he's the Sports Director at NJ.com, so I just sent him a note asking if he might be able to help.
I got into a elevator at one of the bars, and there were three college kids wearing "I am RutgersAl" TShirts. Didn't say a word, but got a kick out of it.
Dammit!No luck, Nuts. 👎 I had the photo in an old Photobucket account. When they started charging to host photos, my account was deactivated. I have a hardcopy photo somewhere, but don't know where it is.

Top video, at exactly the 3 minute mark, the three people in the middle of the group of five, standing in the back, were my two friends and myself
Great time!

The only RU bowl I've been able to attend. Great time. Other than some drunk ass b#@$%^^h being picked up and swung around by her boyfriend after an RU touchdown and kicking me in the face.
Almost didn’t make it. Flew out the night before on JetBlue. Plane took off and 15 minutes into the flight the pilot said we need to turn around due to “minor” issues. As we were landing, fire trucks and emergency vehicles were lined up next to the runway. We all got back on the same plane 2 hrs later.
It's funny #s because that post from me from 2019... I def. did NOT post that. I don't think I've ever said "Son of a gun" in my life, lol. Years ago I gave my PW to an old boss of mine and even though he eventually got his own username he must've still been posting under DirtyRU as recent as 2019. Crazy! I saw that when this thread got revived and I was just like umm yeah, I did not write that, ha. Either way, great pics!Just saw this thread again and fortunately, I've gotten much better at figuring out hosting of graphics and pics, so while it's not quite ASAP, here's Marley and here's a pic of @LeapinLou (and a strategic shot of one of the thong girls in the background), which I took not long before they did Born To Run and she handed us the mic for a verse.

That's definitely funny/strange - you should check to see what other odd or crazy things your old boss might have said (and change your password).
Yep, at least top 10 for me and best RU-related party/trip ever for me.
