Best Tailgate opportunity of the season?

Abro1975 · Oct 8, 2015

This weeks Saturday night game shaping up as a great tailgating scene with an 8pm kickoff, quality opponent, great weather, Caroo back, and a chance for an epic upset ! Parking lots and Athletes Glen should be buzzing. I imagine many will have been tailgating for many hours by Kickoff !

MrsScrew · Oct 8, 2015

we'll be pulling into our spot in Blue at 8am. Hoping that it's an epic day from every perspective.

Screw - is it you who has the horizontal rails/shelves around your canopy ? Met someone last year in blue with that and have been looking for similar on line ever since but to no avail.

8:00 am in the black lot. Can't wait!

wheezer · Oct 8, 2015

you guys are good!!.. I was having a little pushback from one in my group about getting there around 4pm, he wanting to arrive later..... I think the lot might be
more than 1/2 filled by then..... us old timers have a tougher time tailgating for 12 hours....

keep the insults to a minimum, I am sensitive.

Screw is my husband...I'm MrsScrew! and yes, I have a bar top that attaches to my tent legs. I just looked for it on the website I purchased it from 2 years ago, it seems they no longer sell it.

you can see it here in the photo as everyone is standing at attention for the National Anthem in the Blue Lot

The kid in that picture has near perfect attention form (need to get those heels closer together). His old man must be a real ball breaker...lol

Does anyone know what the recruit tailgate is like? My daughter is on her official this weekend and my wife and I are invited to join them? I assume they have food...do they have beer, soda, etc? Any insight would help me decide whether to have my usual tailgate or just attend that one?

@ruhudsonfan shouldn't his hand be over his heart too or is that a thing of the past? :americanflag:

What pills are you guys taking to keep going from 8AM until you get home at 2 AM

Yep, just like the guy in front of him shouldn't have a beer bottle in his hand.

Baby steps...

RUPete · Oct 8, 2015

We need a Norries'easter to blow through- MSU won't know what hit 'em. Either that or the crowd methane from a day of tailgating will do the trick.

"pushback" on getting there at 4? What is he doing plucking out his leg and back hairs that day?

KnightHound · Oct 8, 2015

Our crew was working out some logistics last night and we started talking about how everyone really looks foward to the blackout game. It's like Halloween for adults. You get to dress up in something different, eat and drink a ton of stuff you're not supposed to. It's turned into a really big deal for us. We put more work into this tailgate than any other one.

Great pic Mrs Screw.

See...that makes no sense....my crew was the same way, and most are married with kids, but you learn how enjoy the day-long tailgate, without having to get wrecked like the old days while talking about them, and it makes for a great day/night!

Its actually just one guy, the rest of the group, women included, are fine with longer tailgates.... I

I've been to East Lansing twice. Spartans have a nice campus, stadium and tailgate thing going, but nothing special. We can beat these guys in the lots Saturday.

leave him home and let him take a train in later. that's what I'm doing with Mr.Screw this Saturday. He's showing up around 1 or 2.

DHajekRC84 · Oct 8, 2015

can you one you folks adopt me? Its me and my 23YO son. I can even keep up with him.

DJ Spanky · Oct 8, 2015

Looks like it's gonna be an absolutely perfect day for tailgating. I'm working on my crew to get then there earlier.

Your more than welcome to hang with us. Just look for the "Free Beer Tomorrow" flag in the front of the blue lot.

maybe on the way in from Silver I'll stop by for a quick one just to say Thanks for the generosity :)
not a bad idea to take a pit stop on that expedition up to the stadium.
