Howard provided scant resistance on Friday night as Rutgers steamrolled the Bison, 58-7, in front of a festival-sized crowd ahead of the big Nor'easter bringing the Atlantic right to Dana's doorstep.

First and foremost, the Howard recap.
Friday night's tailgate was another winner, featuring Chicken Kitchen tenders, a robust 3’ sub with dressings and salads, and a mix of IPA, desserts, and Legrand bourbon. The walk-in Woodford Reserve proved refreshing as well on a night where the winds were swirling but conditions were dry and indicative of autumn.
Let's try to figure out by Monday what we'll do for the Rutgers-Indiana tailgage.
There's our usual crowd of 20-22, plus Kathy's U. of Delaware roomies Janet and Terri and Bill's friend Billy K will add another 12 to our tailgate, not to mention a few more. Let's figure on 35-40 people.
With an 8 p.m. kickoff and big crowd, let's shoot to meet by 4 p.m.
BYOB as always, but let's build a menu in the comments.
I'm more than willing to get the materials for cheesesteaks and to cook them, but if others have ideas fire away.
As we've learned in the past, there isn't much interesting IU fare or pigout joints. One item that showed for Indiana cuisine was schnitzel, so we could always default to Oktoberfest bullshit.
We could do gyros/Greek...frozen chicken parm heated up with a cigarette lighter...ideas?
If we do cheesesteaks, I'll order the beef, cheese, and rolls from Monmouth Meats where I usual get them.
ReplyDeleteSounds great
DeleteCheesesteaks sound great. I'll make seasoned roasted potatoes as a side dish, and I'll also bring shrimp cocktail with horseradish since that's a thing in Indy apparently. And I'll whip up a batch of deviled eggs just because there will be plenty of time for food prep due to the 4pm tailgate start.
ReplyDeleteJen and John Bemben will be coming with their son Matt and friend. Jen will reach out to Bill about what to bring
ReplyDeleteAndrea and Eric and in. Cheesesteaks sound great. We could bring a cheese, meat, fruit and cracker platter. We could also make a cornbread casserole as a side dish.
ReplyDeleteI'll be off the DL by then, (you had me at cheesesteak) so I'm making a couple of small trays of my baked chicken and rice dish to add into the mix.
