My story is somewhat related. Can't remember the year (early to mid 2000s) but we were playing OU at home and the game was not expected to be competitive. We were all having a great time tailgating so we decided to stay in the lot and *consider* going in if we were still in it at half time. To our surprise were were.

Ended up a buddy's gf (now wife) and myself were the only ones who decided to go into the game. Normally I pulled the tactic of the poster above, loading up beers in my waste, and would act like I pulled something and was hunched over. My buddy's gf was more inebriated and decided she was simply going to keep her alcohol in on off those pull string shoulder bags. I told her they would check it and it wasn't going to work.

Sometimes security got lazy when they were overwhelmed, but we were the only people entering this gate into the stadium and were outnumbered 5-2. Of course they ask to check her bag. She responds in the bitchiest of tones "Uh, you're not checking my bag". They said, "well we can't let you in without checking the bag". I tried to convince her to turn around, go back to the tailgate or at least out of site, and leave her liquor there or conceal it some other way. She then gets REALLY pissy with security, goes back and forth a few more times, then storms through the gate. I'm like 'uh....oh ****!' thinking she's going to get thrown out or arrested but security was literally too stunned to respond. Realizing this I shrug my shoulders, apologize, and follow her in. They never followed us and nothing came of it.

I still laugh thinking about it til this day.
I think I know who your buddy's boss is today.

A couple of out-of-towner perspectives.

First, a friend of a friend's girlfriend's younger brother came up for the Nebraska game in 2002. He talked a lot of **** about how much harder they partied in Lincoln, which was kind of suspect. It didn't help his case that someone had to help him home around 6 pm while the rest of us continued the party well past the bars closing.

Second, two of my cousins grew up Buffs fans in Boulder, but went to Creighton. They made the trek over from Omaha to catch the last time Colorado played in Ames and were blown away by how great the tailgating was. They still bring it up about every time I see them.

I helped my buddy set up his tailgate one time. He had an early 80s impala. The keg would only fit in the trunk, which meant the grill (The Weber of Doom) would only fit in the backseat. Which presented the problem what to do with the garbage can that held the keg and ice? He told me to roll down my window and he put the garbage can on top of the car and I had to try to pin it to the roof as we went down Lincoln Way. About two blocks from the lot, the can starts to shift so the opening is pointing forward and catching all the air. With the car moving, it falls off on my side of the car and I was able to grab it and hold it to the side of the car until we made it to the lot. It was probably the most athletic feat of this engineer's life.

I was at a tailgate with a young lady in 2005, just been hanging around her for 6 months or so. A big storm came rolling through and *they* tried to evacuate the tailgating lots and send people to Hilton. This was when the students were south of the stadium. I wanted to stay and drink beer; she wanted to seek shelter. We ended up walking all the way to Hilton, and basically turned back around as the storm had passed. Not a short walk by any means.

She had just been in the tornado on campus earlier that year, so I kinda understood.

Anywho, I now have two kids with her and have been together close to 20 years now. So I think I made the right call. :p
Dear Penthouse,

You'll never believe what happened to me.....
I read the first one and thought my experience was way different than that...

Read the next one and there it is!!!

2002? Tailgating with my bus and my buddy's bus who will remain nameless. His was parked across the drive area from mine. Next thing I know there are two naked hot women kissing each other's pee parts on top of my buddies bus. I immediately run over to offer my words of encouragement (and to get a better view). My girlfriend who was also there was less than impressed, she wasn't my girlfriend at the next game. Oh well.

PS I still need a parking spot for my bus tomorrow. Anyone have any leads?
