On the heels of B-Rep's fabulous wrap up of the Michigan State win, we turn attention now to the "Bloomington Six" that headed west to ensure that our beloved Scarlet Knights became bowl-eligible for the first time in almost a decade.
The Bloomington 6, prepping for IU with fine spirits |
Beautiful campus, downtown and football setting, with the stadium next door to Alumni Hall.
The perfect album cover for hardcore punk band |
RU supporters revel in win at The Upstairs |
Bloomington is a great college town and incredibly walkable.
Scoreboard says it all |
From there, a round at the famous Nick's English Hut and a late night of live country music at the historic Bluebird, where Audi Club Eric was itching to do some line dancing to the sounds of local hero Hank Ruff. We ended up leaving the club around 1 a.m. and just missed the arrest of 5-star IU basketball freshman MacKenzie Mgbako. (Of course, no suspension at all for a kid being a complete shithead and getting booked outside the Taco Bell basically across the street from the Bluebird.)
Next Up: RU hosts Ohio State, Saturday at noon; tailgate meet-up at 8:45 a.m.: From Eric and Andrea's fabulous Halloween party, it seemed folks were cool doing our version of the Thurmanator, the ultimate pigout food of Columbus, OH, home of the Buckeyes. It's something we've done before with much success. Bill will handle all of the burger materials.
Otherwise we could use maybe a breakfast pastry/food based on early arrival time and some sides; green salad, potato salad? Make suggestions in comment field below.
Some kind of bullshit tower |
Burks happy, well dressed |

I'll bring buckeyes. It will be me, Glenn, Liam and Adam.
ReplyDeleteI'll make some kinda green salad.
ReplyDeleteApple or pear walnut salad and some potato bullshit that well reheat on the grill if that’s ok
ReplyDeleteI will be there. I plan to give Bill some money unless you need me to bring something specific.
ReplyDeleteHi -- We have lots of leftover beer, so we'll bring an assortment of beers. Also, we'll bring some breakfast treats/pastries.
ReplyDeleteThe one topping I refuse to ever make or put on a burger is mushrooms, which are complete bullshit; so if someone's hellbent on the literal list of toppings, have at it. "The scene: Bottom bun, mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickle, banana peppers, 12 ounce burger, bacon, cheddar, another 12 ounce burger, sautéed onions & mushrooms, ham, mozzarella & American cheese, top bun served with fries and a pickle spear"
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, I'll bring the rest. Dana, for your potato bs something like tots might work well if fishing for ideas.
DeleteI'll be there with some beer and some cookies and such.
