Tailgate Tour this summer?

[bgprest]

Anybody know if they’re going to have the Tailgate Tour this summer? Plenty of new faces for the coaches poster, I hope they have one. And then I’d want to figure out how to obtain a poster down here in Dallas, Texas.

Somebody?... I'm going to get a complex if no one responds to my post...

I was wondering the same thing. Great time to meet new coaches and some players.

You seem very informed. Do you know if they’ll be doing a coaches poster again. The old one is pretty darn outdated now.

Has the tailgate tour ever been east of Mason City and north of Highway 20?

Waterloo & Dubuque would geographically apply.

I don't recall ever being in Decorah

Sure seems like they're really shortening up the time they have it. I remember going the first couple years and it was 3ish hours long, now it's an hour in the middle of the workday.

They’ve always had day stops that were shorter.

They're on Highway 20.

I was thinking Decorah, Waverly, etc. There aren't really any significant population centers in that part of the state though.

I’m probably completely off but I feel like New Hampton for a visit once.

I doubt you’d do waverly when it’s only 20 minutes from Waterloo. But decorah would be a good stop.

they say an hour but can run up to 90 minutes or more. But its mo3r fun to go there as seems to be more of a chance to talk to coaches.

Same at past years for the most part it appears. Sucks they switched the stop by me to an hour. Idk why they did that but there’s no way I can get there during work.

You might be right about New Hampton. Some big ISU boosters (Reicks View, Lynch) in that area.

Selfishly, I'd love Decorah. Would take my kid there if it wasn't over the lunch hour or something.

The DSM one is the middle of the day on a Monday. Are they only hoping to see the wealthy and retired folks?

YES!

I'm so glad they do this and will be doing this for another year. I love taking my daughter to it and everyone is so kind!
