    I arrived late to the lots, but it did seem both lots were full with plenty of people. I think the difference was people tended to stay at their own setups, and the fair weather tailgaters weren't out in force like they were for RMU. I started walking around as people were tearing down, so I never did find TOHBTC (sounds like I dodged quite the scene) and was given a tour on the Cruiser. Great setup, I still can't hear anything (the wife got it worse), and I'd love to tackle das boot someday! And meet a few more BV people.

    I am so sick of the Bison already. Win this, win that, blah, blah, blah. I'd really, really like to know how they do it. I swear they have to be the luckiest sob's on the planet. Just sick of this bs, just fed up.

    My group had basically the same 4 spots as the RMU game, and it works just fine...tried a few different things on the menu that may stick (wing marinade that panned out pretty well).

    I am always discouraged when the reserved lot has empty spots. I mean you pay $120 for 2 spots and then either don't show up or come an hour before kickoff. Numerous emptys by where I was. It's a shame because there are hundreds in the GA lot that would love to have a spot in the reserved section. The tailgate lot should be for tailgaters, not just people who want to park right before the game. Another small thing that irks me is when people fly non-Bison flags. To fly a Petterson seed or a 1st Internatonal Bank flag to get some cheap name recognition or advertising is just stupid in my opinion.

    Not showing up for tailgating doesn't bug me but the game does. Tailgating atmosphere is always incredible . I think its more important to give everyone who wants to tailgate with a nice setup a space. Not free loaders who want to enjoy the efforts of hardcore fans

    I disagree with your "free loaders" comment. Not every tailgater needs to have huge rigs, big tents, and 12 spots to be true tailgaters. Some come, set up their grill and a couple chairs, drink a couple of beers and then walk around to mingle with other people tailgating. The last couple hours of tailgating , there are hundreds of people walking around which adds to the awesome atmosphere.

    I dont care if they tailgate or not. They paid to park there. Plus there are MANY MANY MANY who park then go over to where there main group is located. We have two people who park in reserved but then have to walk over to our tailgate because when we added the two spots a couple of years ago we couldnt get them next to the rest of us..

    Who are the free loaders? Did they not pay to park?
