GAME 5: WSU

Hi Tailgaters...

Ok, game 5 is Saturday against WSU at 6:15. The tailgate start time is TBD but chances are, when you show up, we'll be there ready to go.

We know there is a Sigma Chi alumni tailgater this week and since a majority of our crew happens to fall into that category, we're going to do something pretty simple this week. We're still going to have food, just not a specific meal since it sounds like the timing may not work with the other event--its going to be old school tailgater style so people can eat on their own schedule--perhaps some bacon wrapped weenies, salads, appetizers, dips?

Just RSVP to the blog if you are coming and want to eat and bring $5.00 per person.

GO Ducks!

Game 4: Cal

Game 4 is this Saturday @ 12:30 vs. Cal (ranked #6). To celebrate our German heritage (we're all KINDA German, right?), we're going to be doing an Oktoberfest theme for food this week!

We're still figuring out what an Oktoberfest menu entails but hey! It's only Tuesday, we'll get there. As usual, please RSVP to the blog via the comments section below if you want IN for food and bring exact change ($5.00 per person)
It's also BYOB and BYOL (Bring your own lederhosen)


GO DUCKS!

GAME 3: Utah 9/19

Now that we’ve experienced the sweet taste of victory from beating Purdue last week, it’s time to keep the momentum going for this Saturday’s game against the Utah Utes.

Game time is at 12:30 @ Autzen.

If you want in for food, cost is $5 per person. Again, please bring exact change for the money can!

We will be BBQing hamburgers and hot dogs this week, accompanied by a couple pasta salads, chips/snacks and dessert. All the burger and dog fixins will be provided.

Many of you probably know that “Utes” is the name of the American Indian tribe for which the state of Utah is named. It is wonderful that the University of Utah honors this tradition. What you may not know is that Utah also has another important tradition. Thanks to Dan’s constant thirst for useless trivia, we’ve learned that Utah’s official state snack food is Jell-O. With the help of the Mormons, Utah is affectionately called the “Jell-O Belt”. We think it’s important to mock (uh, I mean honor) this other grand tradition and will be doing so in the form of Jell-O shots. There’s always room for Jell-O!

Other than that, please B.Y.O.B!

Please click on the link below that says COMMENTS to tell us if you are coming and how many people you are bringing. We just want to make sure we get enough food (and Jell-O) for everyone.

GO DUCKS!

GAME 2: Purdue 9/12

After a...well, embarrassing loss on Thursday that we are all trying to forget, its time to move on to Purdue on Saturday.

Game time is 7:15pm @ Autzen

The official tailgate start time is still being debated but the best guess at this point is sometime between 12-1pm.

If you want in for food, cost is $5.00 (BRING EXACT CHANGE PLEASE! :)

We will be BBQing this week. Exact menu is TBD but probably pulled pork sandwiches, possibly some other smoked meats and some sides. (Very detailed I know. Well, it is only Tuesday)

Remember to B.Y.O.B.

Please click on the link below that says COMMENTS to tell us if you are coming and how many people you are bringing. We just want to make sure we get enough food for everyone.

GO DUCKS! (Hey! It can only get better from last week, right?)

The Official T-4/5 Tailgate Party

We have the same spots this year...T4 and T5 @ The Masonic Lodge!
It's BYOB as usual but this year, we're going to try something a little different for food and hope to make it easier on everybody who wants to pitch in and join the party.

Rather than do potluck style every game and make everyone have to resort to rolling coolers across campus (nothing against rolling coolers of course) or end up with 4 bags of chips and guacamole, we're going to try doing a little more 'family style' and a few of us (Now accepting volunteers :) will figure out what we're going to make for food, do the shopping and just have everybody pitch in $5.00/game or so if you want to eat.

Each week, we'll send an email out to the group and just make sure you RSVP if you are going to be there and if you have any friends, coworkers or family coming to that game so that we can get enough food. Just tell everyone to bring $5.00 cash


A few ideas for game food: (please post anything else that sounds good in the comments section):
Fajitas
Chili/Soup
Kabobs
Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Taco Bar
Burgers/Hot Dogs
Perhaps a deep fried Turkey if we get ambitious enough?

2009 Duck Season Tailgaters!

Just a couple of quick photos to remind you of why we get up early and do this every year (not that you needed to be reminded)
