Sorry for the late posting…I passed my first kidney stone and it was, well, a bit of a painful ordeal. I can blog through a lot of things, but that…no, sir.
Anyway, it’s an early kickoff this week, which means that those of you who are fortunate to go will need to have an early morning tailgate, or at least departure time, to arrive for the pre-game festivities. I can recall, back in the good ole days, that a early kickoff meant a box of fried chicken and maybe a 10:30 am arrival. Given the modern setups nowadays, I imagine it’s far more elaborate and may include making your breakfast at the site.
Or, maybe it’s like it is at Boston College:
I wonder how the open bars I see on campus would fly given these rules at BC? Hmmm.
Anyway, for those of you who arrive early…what do you do? Do you do a breakfast and lunch? Or is it a more muted affair? Discuss.
When we were still tailgating hard an early game meant breakfast casserole, French toast casserole and hash brown casserole. And bacon of course. All prepared the night before, cooked the morning of, and kept warm until we set up. Drinks were mostly mimosas, screwdrivers and Bloody Mary’s. Normally we would return after the game and grill burgers and dogs. After game drinks were mostly beer and bourbon. We had fun.
Did reminders go out about making picks for this week?
Here lately we’ve been eating in one of the dining halls. Makes things a lot easier on the abbreviated schedule. No need to pack a bunch of stuff or even set up in the lot. Save the hardcore tailgating for the later kickoffs.
Heartfelt sympathy regarding the stone. I’ve passed two in my life and both felt like pissing a sweetgum ball. That may be where day drinking got started.
