Tailgating & Attendance 11/4/2006

[Angie]

That's a really cool tailgate - did you bring a mini-fridge?

 

[thunderdave]

Does anyone else besides me have a hard time tailgating for morning/early afternoon games and eating brats, hot dogs, and burgers so early in the morning? I'm one who has never been able to eat pizza in the morning, so I'm probably way in the minority.

Same thing w/drinking before early games - I feel like I have to have a screwdriver or something because it has orange juice. That's a morning drink!

Yes, Angie, I believe it is you. A true fan can drink beer and eat burgers at any time of day.

Nope, just plenty of coolers. We have one of those Fire & Ice grill/cooler units - they're perfect for a lot of reasons.

Our tailgate had 12 people last year plus about another 5 or 6 that showed up for part of the time.

Hella good fun.

Didn't have one like that this year though. :no6xn:

Paid: 42,000
Attending: 35,000 first half
25,000 second half
1,000 close to end
People in my section not complaining the whole time: 12

Having the worst team in college football...priceless.

Got it. I've got the flu now, so maybe that explains part of why it sounds so awful to me. I need to develop a stomach of iron in order to be a good ISU fan. :rofl8yi:

 

[Max]

I predict about 40,000 will tailgate, but some of those might leave and go to the game.

 

[GM4ISU]

I agree with u Bryce maybe empty at 2 minutes to end

Along with a short memory for poor performances.
I think the alcohol actually helps with the memory part.

That sounds about right to me.

 

[Blandboy]

What's the weather forecast?

 

[thunderdave]

If they just opened the doors and didn't ask for a ticket, how many "extra" people do you think would show up?
Extra, as in, currently don't have a ticket.

 

[Cyclone_Power]

That's a good question. Sadly, I don't think that many more. Probably only a couple thousand if that.

 

[amyk33]

the weather should be about 50 degrees tomorrow! perfect day for tailgating and football! my fingers are crossed for a W, but if not, i'm looking forward to getting crazy with my friends...after a long week the beer is going to taste good!

 

[Angie]

I'm excited, too! Vet med, Amy?

 

[amyk33]

I'm excited, too! Vet med, Amy?

um, don't you usually go to the lot that is across the street to the north of vet med? the grass lot east of the stadium?

 

[Angie]

Yeah, sorry - didn't type out enough there. Not multitasking very well.

 

[amyk33]

that's ok! doesn't matter...we'll have all our energy focused on tailgating soon enough. the weather should be good...it may be windy so i'm going to wear my pimpin' yellow isu hat! woot! it'll be hot.

think jon will mind if he has to carry me into the stadium and to my seat??

 

[Angie]

I'm going to go with "no". ;-) I'm sure he'll be just fine w/that.
