    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    I've always thought those saying TM's is small time were being dumb jerks, but these comments from Simmers are bringing me around to their side.
    Make sure you put the comments in context. Pulling a one liner out of a whole conversation doesnt serve anyone well.

    You also have to define WHO wants to grow the fan base and WHO is stifling that growth.

    I retract some of what I said as TSCF's thread was in smack talk. I still do think that if we can't get a new stadium going the obvious way to increase the fan experience is to allow tailgating during the game.

    This or someone should invent a device that lets you watch the game without actually being there.

    That would be f#cking awesome.

    I totally agree. That is probably the only game of the year I don't get my full 5 1/2 hours in but I still manage to arrive just after 6 am

    Man those early days sure were different. Heck I remember when teammakers gave out free brats burgers and beer. Man have things changed. People complain and complain and complain but if you actually step back and look at the changes that have occurred over the last 3 years, 5 years 10 years 15 years, It is striking.

    Agreed, we still have a long ways to go though, and lots of things to improve on. Iowa State is the gold standard for tailgating.
