It's been three weeks since our posse gathered for a pregame Rutgers football tailgate, but we reunite this Saturday at 9 a.m. ahead of the (another) noon kickoff. This week it's vs. Minnesota.
The Golden Gophers visit Piscataway on a modest 3-game winning streak (road wins at UCLA and Illinois and a home win vs. Maryland) but may be looking past our brutally bad Scarlet Knights ahead of its shot at Penn State in two weeks.
Wishful thinking perhaps, but the way Schiano's defense is playing, I'm not sure taking 6.5 points at home is close enough.
Then again, maybe the bye week did Rutgers good and allowed some players to mend.
Whatever the case, let's do roll call and menu selection below. Already we know that Dave and Jennifer won't be in attendance while B-REP will be joining us in the stadium after getting banged up at a friends' son's wedding on Friday night. We'll sneak in a greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray for him.
With yet another morning tailgate time but projected great football weather again (sunny, high 58), perhaps basic NJ breakfast?
Else something exotic like Burragato burritos, though Thai in the morning might be tough.
We'd be remiss to leave without scenes from an outstanding UCLA tailgate, where Dana's breakfast bullshit was a tremendous hit, along with the other great dishes that no doubt we'll roll back when our next visitor from Los Angeles is in town.

I anticipate all 3 Hobos at the moment. Also offering to make pork roll, tomato and egg casserole but flexible if anyone has grander ideas for main dishes.
ReplyDeleteI will be up, will be bringing a dozen bagels
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be there. Dana will be delivering babies. How about I bring bagels, etc.
ReplyDeleteoops beat me to it tom.
ReplyDeleteI'll bring a fruit salad.
ReplyDeleteAnna and me, I'm doing Ham and Cheese sliders( I checked, its a Minnesota thing, doncha-know) , and my buddy Mike from work is using Erin's ticket and meeting us in the black lot, I think he's bringing a tray of something incredible as always since he makes me look like I work in a hot dog truck when it comes to cooking.
ReplyDeleteeager to shake this Mike's hand, and you're no cooking slouch, Andy
DeleteI spoke too soon, just got word he can't make it now after all. which means we have a spare ticket if needed for anyone here. Hit up Anna on the chat to claim.
DeleteSharon and I will bring mimosas. I'll also see if I can acquire a bottle of the new Eric LeGrand Single Barrel Bourbon
ReplyDeleteEric, David and I will be there. We'll bring DD coffee, donuts, Heddy Topper beer, and Heaven Hill bourbon.
