real quick adjustments here. 

9 XP's and a 42 yard field goal into the wind for Kitty... (which should make rowdy and dubbz fall in love w/ him again)

Go Bombers


You know what else stinks about Buff State...

They have no bathrooms for tailgaters... and they don't allow glass bottles.  Myself and Tecmo were locked out of about 12 buildings last year when we tried to find a pit stop.


Go Bombers

i dont have a problem with Kit, dont let Rowdy drag me into this hatred for him. 

second...It was You and I, MIOH, that got stuck outside of the 17 buildings at buff state and ended up finding an entrance door guarded by a bush and the corner of a building.  Stupid Buff St.   At Least the security guy was nice enough to say put the beer into the cup.


Salty.

Bombers!

I have no idea why my post did that.

Since FisherAlum brought it up, I thought I would post this email forward.  As a point of reference, I was in Gainesville the last two weeks for Gator games.  We got to the tailgate spot at 10am for a 6pm start and had a ton of trouble finding room.  That is what we get for being late.  Glad to see some of the southern culture Orangehat absorbed during his study abroad in Tallahassee has made its way to Butterfield.  I am excited to see the new Butterfield tailgate.

Dont ever lose the sense of humor Jose!
Seriously, if i go the Fisher UC game is tailgating a possibility?

[Jonny Utah]

That is pretty funny but I couldnt imagine going to a 6:30 game at 10:00 to tailgate for a few reasons......

I would say I drink on average (at the LEAST) 2-3 beers an hour.  Now if I was in college, make that number 3-5 beers an hour.  So thats 16-14 beers before the game in 2006, and 24-40 beers if I were college age.  That means Im pissin on other peoples grills before 2pm and passed out by 4pm.  Im just not mature enough to handle a 10 am tailgate.

I have a friend that coaches for Boston College and I went to tailgate with his family before the game last weekend against Clemson where the game was a 3:30 start and the school would not allow tailgate parking to open untill 12:30.  A lot of that has to do with the campus being close to residential areas and stuff, but a lot of it has to do with the fact that boston college students cannot handle too much time to drink.  Campus police throws you out of the lots at game time and after the game as well.  I guess a few years ago they opened the gates up 5 hours before kickoff and kids were going to the hospital they were so drunk.

I think in the south though there are more older fans that never even went to the college and are just fans.

Go Bombers

That's been the case for a long time.  I remember going there in '01 and not being able to get in anywhere.  I think we had to go off campus to find anything open.

You'd be surprised JU.  You spend as much time eating as drinking.  Not like just burgers on a habachi.  The tailgate I was at had a griddle top for the grill.  We made eggs and bacon in the morning, took the griddle off.  Smoked ribs, made wings, burgers, venison sausage etc.  It is a long day of drinking.  Especially when you head back to the tailgate and start again after the game.  The guys next to us had their direct tv dish out there, so we lit the grill again, reloaded the cooler, and watched Texas-OSU in the tailgate lot.

You really want to bring up the difference between northern girls and southern girls? 

Let's just leave it at this: 
1. You went to RPI.
2. Google "FSU Cowgirls" or go to www.cowgirlnation.com

By the way, what does "illiterate" mean anyway?

[lewdogg11]

Illiterate
Pronunciation: (")i(l)-'li-t(&-)r&t
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Latin illiteratus, from in- + litteratus literate
1 : having little or no education; especially : unable to read or write <an illiterate population>
2 a : showing or marked by a lack of familiarity with language and literature <an illiterate magazine> b : violating approved patterns of speaking or writing
3 : showing or marked by a lack of acquaintance with the fundamentals of a particular field of knowledge <musically illiterate>


I went to cowgirlnation and all I saw was a bunch of trust fund babies with fake boobs.  You probably bang them all the time huh?

It don't matter how they got hot...

As soon as playboy stops doing a Girls of the SEC/ACC spread and starts doing Girls of the LL, I will concede the point...

[lewdogg11]

Well, I can't argue with that.  Their brothers and cousins still date them.

[fisheralum91]

girls of the e8?

wow- i dont know about you but back in the day there was SLIM pickens!

[realistic]

Well....Fisher used to be all male...so there would be slim pickins.

As has been discussed already, we know who's winning the E8 hottest girls contest.

And really - A guy from RPI is arguing about girls.  Thats funny.
