Game Number 1 - What Did We Learn

Usually, the first tailgate/game of the year answers some questions and also have a few more unsettled issues to deal with. Here's what we know:

1. We know that Andy's burgers and fixings kick ass. He is the unchallenged Officer Big Mac in charge of Black Parking Lot 67 of Busch Campus, and clearly gained yet another Breppie award nomination for his fine work. The MAC conference needs to sign him up for promotional work.

 
2. We almost learned how to put up Al's new tent. We need the really tall guy from Wales to come to another game to help us get the center part at the right height.  

3. We learned that we have missed John and Chrissy being part of our tailgate for too long. RU football fan warriors who endured through the dark time of the 1980s and 1990s, Terry Shea, and trips to Notre Dame (62-0 loss with RU never crossing midfield) and Tulane/New Orleans (Hey _oug, where's the D? on the scoreboard), and a classic 64-6 beatdown at home versus Miami (FL) (one of many dark days). We hope to see them attend a tailgate/game again soon.

4. We learned more people are starting to get into those Eric Legrand whiskey shots and need more plastic shot cups

5. We also learned based on Chrissy's pictures that Sam's seats are significantly better than ours. 

6. We learned that Eric was seen canoodling during the game and post fire works with his comely new 25 year old sidepiece, a former RU field hockey player (poorly disguised in a black hat and sunglasses).  TMZ is also reporting the couple went later for a late night tete-a-tete at a seedy Seaside boardwalk bar.

7. We also learned nobody has told Andrea about this interlude yet. Maybe its the Jersey in me talking, but this Snarski chick needs to disappear (Tony Soprano style). 

8. After questions to many of the group, Pete learned Bill had to work and was coming late 

                                        

9. We learned that BREP's Athan K jersey looks like a wise purchase as his seems set to have a great season throwing the best set of RU wide receivers in decades.  We also learned that as Coach Greg has said many times this summer, this defense is going to be a work in progress that needs reps. Please contact Dana to discuss further for his thoughts. 

   

10. We also were also surprised by quality the postgame great fireworks show! Great job RU!!!

NO NEED TO START COMMENTING ON THIS POST REGARDING NEXT WEEKS TAILGATE. I WILL POST A NEW ONE FOR THAT IN A FEW DAYS     BREP
