I always pick mine up the night before. I did the early morning thing once and did not get until right after the introduction. The kicker is it was actually real coldQuote:

I've never seen a tailgate line like this before in my life...including just before the lot opening when the whole west side of the west lot was public.
Its around the block, to the practice fields, south through the dorms and almost to Bentson Bunker. Just insane!!! I cant imagine many after now will fit in the SW quadrant of the West lot.
Gl to all tho!
Are the police there in riot gear to stop the raping and pillaging? Who is preventing all the fires, beatings, and destruction? The children! My god, think of the children!Quote:

I have a feeling you're not gonna be happy.Quote:

Time for the school to step up to the DI plate in regards to tailgating, tell the "opposition" to stuff it.Quote:

Cars lined up on the streets for blocks and blocks because the authorities won't let them into a place that's only function is to store cars. It'd be funny if it weren't so stupid.
Deny it all you want, this one is different, as are the two videos.Quote:

I don't think Weber even got a video, neither did Incarnate Word last year...of course there isn't much time to play a video prior to kickoff when there are banners to raise.Quote:

But then you have the issue with the students, I doubt they admin wants alcohol tailgating near that line.Quote:

That is the thing; they won't. They will figure something out.Quote:

I would go right now if I thought I could get in tomorrow. Sigh.Quote:

I guess I was speaking to the point of opening up the south lot tonight. Let people in. The world will not end. No minor will be corrupted. People will know where they stand at least.Quote:

The whole Vic's aircraft and the air museum could be tailgaters. Maybe limit that area to 1 spot per car.
Or they can do what some professional teams do. You are not allowed in the tailgate lots close to the stadium unless you have tickets to the game.Quote:

Well our admin is so afraid of this silent tailgate "opposition" good luck with that happening or anything happening outside of the standard procedure.Quote:

I dont think Ive seen an open tailgate with no rules in my travels. Iowa stae last year was different because of the rain and wet grounds. The other time at Iowa State we had to wait in line to get in to the lot. Iowa has lots all over the place but the majority are reserved. Kansas and Kansas State had line to get in. Where is this utopia of tailgating lots? Where there are no rules and people can park at anytime they want?Quote:

I don't think anyone is suggesting a "Lord of the Flies" scenario where there is no rules, survival of the strongest and chaos. Just an improvement of what we have. Demand outstrips supply for years.Quote:
