Fabulous Blackout, Rutgers Now 4-0

Excellent turnout and performance both at the tailgate and in O'Shi* Stadium!

Near-record turnout

The weather gods were relatively in our favor for our Black lot tailgate, where a crew of about 30 prepared for RU's B1G opener vs. Washington, won by the Scarlet Knights 21-18 in a sellout. 

W for Rush Shirt

RU 1-0 in games with Panda

The tailgate menu included salmon and crab packets, Beecher's mac and cheese, warm cinnamon apples, sausage with pepper and onion, dogs, and loads of sides and desserts. A truly Washington State flavor.

Nice job with Washington-based artists as a musica playlist; was interesting to target the visiting team's state-bred musicians. 

Plenty of great drinks including Natty Bo, Rick Astley IPA, and a new annual tradition of the Eric Legrand toast featuring his bourbon. Forgot the Butterscotch Krimpets, however; clearly we missed Grandpa Andy, who was in Arizona and should be back in time for Wisconsin on Oct. 12. 

Speaking of Wiscy, does an Oktoberfest menu make the most sense? As a curling guy, the Matt Hamilton Special seems like a must. Brats, kielbasa, Bavarian pretzel bites, etc. If not, cheese fondue for 20+, lol.
