September 6th Tailgate against Miami (Ohio)

 

Let’s get started on putting together our Sept 6^th tailgate.

Noon meet up at the usual Black Lot 67 spot. Bring tents as it may have a decent chance of rain looking at long range forecast today.

As before, we will bring our own alcohol this season (BYOB), and leave it out of the tailgate assignments.

Fans already lining up for this week's tailgate 

BREP will make about 50 ribs pre-cooked, ½ beef and ½ pork (and will serenade then in BBQ sauce overnight). BREP is also using Pete’s four tickets this week, and his friends Scotty has also committed to bring some shrimp/cocktail sauce, and Gary/Jen also want to contribute. The fourth ticket goes to Al's wife Joanne. Snarski also will make cornbread to compliment the ribs. A secondary course (chicken to barbecue?) would also be an option if someone else would like to cook, or if we can come up with something else unique.     

Let me know what you think would be required in addition to that below.  We will need people to bring the following (I will try to update as people post):

OUT FOR TAILGATE/GAME: Pete and Sharon 

OUT FOR TAILGATE BUT GOING TO GAME: Dave (Eric’s Brother)

 Again, let’s reduce the amount of desert type items (cookies, cakes, muffins, donuts, etc.) to just a couple as most of these don’t get eaten, as what happened last we showed. So please try to limit these kinds of things. It’s better to throw a few dollars towards the people bringing the main courses and making large outlays if they are buying for a group of 25 people.

Dave is also looking for an extra ticket for Norfolk State the week after next (in addition to Tom’s) to bring his boys. Andrea/Snarski is also looking for a pair for Oregon for John Lyon if someone is planning to miss that game.
