10/16 Tailgate

[ski-u-mah]

Bye week, then NE. Anyone going? Didn’t do the Suckeyes, late Thursday night game. Next one was the wrong Miami team, tailgate was dead. Then BG, yes it was BG, but was homecoming, but again, still dead. When I say dead, the regulars are still there, but the others/atmosphere isn’t the same.

I think NE might be busy/fun, first B1G Saturday game, NE travels well and most NE tailgates are hopping.

But question is, is tailgating dying, dumb games, or the COVID?

We kinda own Lot 37, but so much work, especially when no one shows.

The expanded Ski-U-Mah Lot has been great. There seems to be a larger number of college age people in the mix than in the past, which brings more energy.

You’ll have at least a week to make plans. Feel like that is plenty.

Not if you have people coming in from out of town and have Saturday morning high school football related commitments

It’ll be fine. But it would be real nice if the big ten catered to the fans a bit by telling you when the game was 13 days in advance

Sounds like you’ll be busy regardless of start time!

Will have a tailgate regardless.
11am postgame
2:30 pregame

the logistics look different for each. A lot of moving parts

So that was fun! Finally a tailgate that felt like pre 2020. Was packed. NE ones usually are. As always, we welcome visiting team fans at ours and almost all of them are great and we have a blast. Today was no exception.

But I weirdly enjoyed this one because of the 99% of the dorks on their message boards, who after a few moral victories assumed it was the 80’s again and they were going to beat us by 30-40 points. While we are no strangers to moral victories, that was just funny, maybe one day they will realize this is the B1G and they just suck.

Ski-u-mah bitches.
