Are you going to the Buffalo game this weekend?

Sounds exactly like us. We have a group of 14, all of whom are going, and are actually shy one ticket for a guest. With regard to the group, I'm really the only fanatic RU fan - the rest are certainly fans (although only about 2/3 have RU degrees), but I'd say the tailgating/social element is at least as big of a draw for them as the games.
Although I'm the only one in the group who has been attending since the early 80s as a student. The rest joined me in stages after we started becoming successful under Schiano, with the big jump coming after the 2006 season, when we went from 6 to 12 tickets - so most of them have only seen a couple of years of misery, unlike me, lol.
If it is bad at halftime everybody can still make it down to Princeton to see them play Monmouth at 4:30. If they drive fast enough maybe throw down a beer or 2 in the lot before the game. 2 tailgates in one day sounds good !
Of course I’ll be there. The weather is going to be gorgeous, and I’ll be cheering on my alma mater. I predicted that this game would be a loss before the season, so my expectations are already set. Even if we get blown out at home, it will be a far better experience than anything that I would be doing that day.

We were planning to have a group of 6 for this game. They’ve all bailed. And I’m glad.
Gonna go kayaking and then watch the JMU game, aka “real” football.

We'll be there. Should be about 10 of us tailgating. As for the game, no idea how many will actually head in.
I'll be there, but don't know if I'll drag the wife/kids along for the other 3 tickets. Don't think I'll find anyone else to use them, either.
Yes, that JMU looked impressive last Thursday night. Do you know if they are on TV this weekend?
That will be more enjoyable to watch.
Will always be there no matter what. It builds character.
You probably long for the days of cheap parking and cheaper tickets and not having to pay for water
Only on the regional NBC Sports network in DC/MD/VA/NC. So unless you're in that region or have a good satellite package that gets you all of the regional NBC sports networks, you'd have to use the Madizone stream, which isn't too bad a production, and the performance is more reliable than ESPN3 in my experience.
They'll have a few games on SNY this season (all at home, vs Elon, Stony Brook, and Rhode Island), and a couple on Fox College Sports (away at Villanova and New Hampshire), and the playoff games will be on ESPN2/3/U.

I'll be there. Only get 7 of these a year and usually end up having to miss 1 or 2 each year due to work so each one is special. Plus get to spend the day with my daughter and see my brother at the game.
