Starting the Season Off Right!

The official BREP Nation Howard tailgate Group Shot



The RU 2024 football season got off on the right foot with a raucous tailgate with about 30 people in attendance, followed by a 44-7 beatdown of Howard. Our tailgates are now enhanced by new season ticket holders Eric's brother Dave, Andy, Anna, Erin, Al, Glenn and Donna. Special guest appearances by EX ExPat John Lyon & wife Kim, A& E friends Amy & Glenn, Pat Cotter, Al's wife Joanne, Larry's friend Steve, Aaron from Wales, and Basil added to the fun.  JC and Bill joined in at the game.  It was great to see everyone!! 

Getting things going early with Andy's grill and three tents!!

Part of the crew making their way in with Andrea intensely making a real estate deal on the phone 



The team has left the locker room!!!


The BREPNATION crew spilling out all over Section 121!! 




We look forward to next week for a 9 am meetup with a noon start against Akron! Pete is already proposing Breakfast Burritos so lets get the chat going! 


And don't forget to wear red to the game!!
Blue scarf is optional!

  5. I'll bring sausage, egg and cheese burritos already heated and will also bring warming tray and sternos so no need to use the grill. Given the forecast, it might just be me and Glenn but will confirm end of week.

    1. Pete, I hope you mean fresh fruit and not this from Urban Dictionary: "when a guy tucks his twig and berries back by his crack when mooning someone, which ends up looking like a banana and some apples (or oranges, if you prefer) coming out of a fruitbowl!"

  11. After consulting with Andy, King of All Tailgates (and bringing his grill), I'll leave my grill behind and will keep the homefries bullshit warm over a Sterno, like burr-Pete-o. Also bringing canopy and praying for no rain (looks like it'd be minor anyway).
