Got my football taken away at the tailgate

feeds@yuku.com (Southfew) — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 17:27:04 GMT

My dad is good enough to let me tailgate with him in the lot by the Regent apartments. Over the years, we have met a lot of good people in that lot. We watch the crowds walk down Regent, drink a few beers, and sometimes play catch with a football.

Saturday I was playing catch with a mini-ball. Two or three kids were playing catch in the same area with a football. We mostly completed our passes and, when we missed, no one else got hit and no property got hit by the rubber ball....

Some tailgate rules for 1625 Madison

feeds@yuku.com (HockeyFan) — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 21:32:09 GMT

I am no way near as PC as I should be so.......
Tom caught me when I parked and asked me to relay some rules he has for this year:

1) His M-F job is daycare in that house, so please pick up anything you brought with you. I will have a garbage can for trash.
1a) one of the kids cut them self on a bottle cap last fall; he doesn't know if it was us or passersby. Either way please toss bottle caps back into your cooler and dispose at your house.
2) While Tom enjoys...

Marshall Tailgate parking check in thread

feeds@yuku.com (Myles Long) — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 16:07:46 GMT

If you want a parking spot at 1625 Madison for the 11:00 AM Marshall game on 9/6, you need to check-in to this thread. If you don't need a parking spot, but want to stop by, you are more than welcome.

Don't bother telling me about other games now. We will have a thread for each game starting the Monday before said games.

Per Tom's new rule, there will be no bathroom use unless you are a paying parker at the tailgate.

Confirmed for parking spot.

Fresno St and Tailgating

feeds@yuku.com (411DoubleDown) — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 14:54:42 GMT

I'm a long time badger fan now living in California. I'm organizing a group of people for the Fresno St game. I'm wondering if anyone knows of tailgating rules there. I want to tailgate for at least 3 or 4 hours. Does anyone know if there are rules against tailgating there?

Gathering to watch a game in SE CT?

feeds@yuku.com (AlienBadger) — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:55:51 GMT

Just moved to the southeastern Connecticut area from Madison and was wondering if there was a place to go to watch the badger games. I do not mind going to a bar to watch the games (and get some food) even though I do not drink (I know, Scott van Pelt probably thinks that I am one of the reasons the UW's party rankings dropped). Or better yet, may be somebody knows an idea to sneak me into Bristol so that I can catch the game with SVP himself and the crew

Carpooling from GB, APP, OSH to the Camp

feeds@yuku.com (bber4life) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:55:32 GMT

Ok we have room for 2 to ride with us from Appppppleton or can pick up along the way(if coming from GB just park your car in front of my house). We park at the Madison Street house but generally dont tailgate, sometimes we go real early and go to mickeys but mainly just go and sit in grid iron or Luckys before the game, after the game we go straight to The Echo to meet friends and get some food and beer. Pops is almost 80 but drives like a teenager(so i can have beer), fast, so if that doesnt...

SaguaroFest V Roll Call

feeds@yuku.com (RDConz) — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 12:44:22 GMT

Got the following e-mail from my Dad, who's going to the Fresno game with 11 other Badger fans:

> We have attended a Badger Huddle in the past, and it is a very dead affair,
> put on by the Alumni assn. A few years ago in Las Vegas, there was a
> Huddle and also a Bash, sponsored by a different group (the athletic
> department?) Do you know if there is any other tailgate planned beside the Huddle?
Hi...

Calling DC Buckyville (and Badgernation) Groupies -- Annual Fall Training Gathering - Saturday, September 20 - Washington Nationals' game

feeds@yuku.com (noshbygosh) — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 14:11:23 GMT

It's that time of year for our annual get-together. If AB and Max are in the vicinity and available, I am making a unilateral directive to name them this year's guests of honor. The one catch is that there are no Nats game on weeknight games available for sale in August except for the last week when I am out of town. So..., we can do one of several options:

(1) Get together and watch a game in late September following the initial streak of non-conference games.
(2)...

Game Ticket - check
Airfare - check. [Rant inserted here: I have been checking my MW Express reservation since the announcement of their changes and pretty much expected some change. I had already received notice that there would be a stop in KC, but the times only changed by less than 10 minutes. Nonetheless, I hesitated to book my prepaid car until things settled. Online, I kept...

Yosemite Lodging for Fresno Game - LAST CALL

feeds@yuku.com (AKA TAW) — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 10:43:31 GMT

I will be canceling a reservation at the Apple Tree Inn for the nights of 9/9 - 9/11 (3 mights) because I will be staying in the park itself. Lodging around Yosemite is hard to find, so if anyone is going out early and needs a place, we can try to coordinate the cancellation and/or transfer of the reservation. PM me if interested.

feeds@yuku.com (Myles Long) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 22:11:24 GMT

I just spoke with Tom. He and his family are off to visit Alaska with the proceeds from last year. We are good to go for this season. He asked me to remind y'all that all shells must be filled with shot no larger than 6 for the OSU game. #2 steel shot will be allowed for the PSU game, however.
