DISQUS

TigerEducated · 1 year ago

Finally, a sensible post from Gatorhippy...

Hipster, Hello! Sushi by campus ran a special during the week of the UF game last year...The Tim Tebow Tigerbait Roll...Made with grilled Alligator...

It was delicious...

Ramblin' Gator · 1 year ago

Did they give out free samples to every fan who made a threatening or obscene phone call to Timmy's cell phone?

TigerEducated · 1 year ago

No, but they did hand out a listing of all local towing companies & the location of their lots to Tony Joiner just before kickoff...

They also put the Louisiana Attorney General's Office on Speed Dial to ensure he could get his case expedited to ensure he'd be on the field for kickoff...JUST so you couldn't have an excuse for your defense's impersonation of the French Army in WWII, giving up 5 fourth down conversions in the 4th quarter...

Ramblin' Gator · 1 year ago

C'mon TE, I'm sure you can come up with a better example of Gator misbehavior than Tony Joiner! The guy who owned the car lot had planned to meet him there and then wouldn't press charges against him. Surely your advanced knowledge of all things evil can conceive a better example than this?

Besides, we're talking apples and oranges here. I mentioned an example of where some LSU fans act like prepubescent prank phone callers and you respond with a weak example of a player doing something dumb. Your smack talk is slipping, buddy.

I have to say that calling the teenage QB of the opposing team and threatening him is probably the most classless thing I've ever seen football fans do that didn't involve weaponry. I've had many LSU fans as friends in my life and I've yet to hear one of them admit how classless an act this was, including you. Serving food named after the opposing QB only encourages this kind of childish behavior.

TigerEducated · 1 year ago

You're so damn easy, RG...

You see, here's the deal...I brought that subject up because I knew you'd respond with the comment about him "dropping charges"...

I wonder if it had anything to do with the HUNDREDS of threatening phonecalls his business got after this all went down?

You heaved another softball up to me when mentioning weaponry, seeing as how you guys are so thin on the depth chart that your boy Urban Meyer brought Mr. AK-47 discharge (wait...it was only a .22...THAT makes it all better!) after I spit on and beat you down at the club back onto the team to help the run D in Gainesville...

About time to push away from the keyboard, RG...

Our fans may act crazy, but so do yours, and so do your PLAYERS...

0wn3d...

Ramblin' Gator · 1 year ago

You have quite an imagination, TE! You should write fiction - oh, but wait, you just did! The only acurate concept you've expressed here is regarding UF's pathetic defense. "Spit on and beat down" moi? Hardly.

Own3d? Only in your dreams, my friend - just keep that great fiction coming!

TigerEducated · 1 year ago

You saying your boy didn't beat him up, and then fire off a round when he followed him? You saying Meyer didn't reinstate him?

You saying that the owner of the towing company didn't receive HUNDREDS of threatening phonecalls?

Did you not just post that threatening phone calls and use of weaponry are despicable and par for the course for LSU fans as a reason to hate on them?

Pot, meet Kettle...I think he just called you black...LOL!

TampaGator · 1 year ago

That's why I avoid these "character" discussions w/r/t players and fans. There's always a couple of morons that cast us all in a bad light, and the conversation inevitably ends up in the pot-kettle cliche. There is no moral high ground; everyone gets mud on them.

My only concern is that these incidents don't taint the paper on my wall, anymore than a championship enhances it.

Or JAVA, or GWBASIC, or LISP, or PERL, or ...

Heck, I've done assembly.

Nothing like building the circuits from logic gates though.

Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago

Ah, now you're talking my language. I always liked C/C++/C#, and hated Java. Assembly was one of my favorites, but you're right, building a circuit from the digital logic all the way up is great.

Kevin @ Fanblogs · 1 year ago

I'm just imagining you two tailgating with slide rulers. ;-)

Ben Prather · 1 year ago

I got one, it sits on top of the math tables on my desk.

No joke. (Mostly for decoration but its the truth)

Ramblin' Gator · 1 year ago

Me too. All of the above, plus ADA and a few others. I used to design hardware too, but it's been a while.

Ramblin' Gator · 1 year ago

No, TE – I’m not denying any *facts*, but I am saying you write fiction. And like most writers of fiction, you take facts (i.e. Tony Joiner breaks into a car lot), combine it with half-truths (e.g. “HUNDREDS of threatening phone calls”), and you create fiction (i.e. the car lot owner didn’t pursue charges due to the threats). Go read the articles and check the timeline, buddy – the car lot owner told the cops he wouldn’t pursue charges in the early AM, long before any phone calls were made.

Similarly, you took another fact (i.e. “Ronnie Wilson is working out with the football team”) and filled in all the blanks leading up to that conclusion (e.g. Meyer capriciously reinstated him to the team without any punishment or rehabilitation). Again, it’s an interesting fiction, but far from the truth.

You also are trying to assert that I’m hypocritical for criticizing LSU’s abusive fans and defending UF fans’ similar behavior. I have never defended this behavior from anyone. Again, you wrote fiction.

To be honest, the quality of your fiction is diminished by your propensity toward self-congratulation and self-admiration of your own enervated sense of humor. Here are a few examples of what I’m talking about…

LSU is the worst football team to be “crowned” national champs with a two-loss record… OWNED!!

LSU doesn’t need Ryan P since they have lots of criminals to play QB. LOL!!!

A good writer doesn’t congratulate their own brilliance and a good comedian doesn’t laugh at their own jokes. Just the same, please keep the fiction coming!

Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago

Not being biased but honest......if you want to have a great time....LSU has to be considered in the top 5 at least......you may not remember it much.....and your head may hurt on sunday....

The_Central_Scrutinizer · 1 year ago

LSU now includes a post-Thanksgiving cochon de lait ritual to celebrate the Arkansas game. It's not quite on a scale to affect pork belly futures, but there's a *bunch* of pigs what get roasted and et that day.

Mmmmmmmmm.

Ramblin' Gator · 1 year ago

Man, I'm getting hungry just thinking about some cochon de lait. I wonder if there's a good cajun place here in silicon valley.

Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago

You must travel a ton. It seems like you're in a different part of the country every week.

Ramblin' Gator · 1 year ago

For me, travel comes in waves and lately I've been on a tsunami. I've been at home 5 days in the last 6 weeks, ending today. I'll be home for the next 5 weeks other than 3 days in DC.

Kevin @ Fanblogs · 1 year ago

Without question... LSU is the best tailgate experience in college football... bar none. I *enjoy* FSU & Auburn, Texas is pretty good, but ***nothing*** compares to LSU.

OU_Ron · 1 year ago

Top 10 Tailgating sites ( according to Joe Cahn, the commissioner of Tailgating ) whoever he is....
1) Tie-LSU & Ole MIss
2) Tie-see above
3) Penn State
4) Michigan
5) Iowa
6) Texas
7) Washington
8) Georgia
9) Purdue
10) UCLA

SEC Tailgater · 1 year ago

Definitely LSU. Ole Miss is huge too. Georgia and Alabama are good ones, as is the Vol Navy at Tennessee. I was also surprised at the quality of tailgating at Miss. State, though I believe this to be a new development. Auburn has been consistently awful every time I've been.

OxfordAndrew · 1 year ago

Since we're all being unbiased here...
LSU has a pretty good show, but they don't have the Grove.

Ramblin' Gator · 1 year ago

Agreed. Ole Miss has more than their share of eye candy.

gatorhippy · 1 year ago

I dig the Grove too...

BBQ, linens, seersucker...

Classiest without a doubt...

LSU is simply a spectacle...

grcunning · 1 year ago

from ESPN:

JoePa-Looza is so spirited that the school recently had to ban the drinking of alcohol outside the stadium DURING the game. That's right. So many fans come just for the tailgate that officials had to enact a law to deal with them. They don't call it Happy Valley for nothing.

here's the article(which also quotes Joe Cahn):
http://sports.espn.go.com/travel/columns/story?...
no surprise, they also have Ole Miss and LSU #'s 2 and 1

Ramblin' Gator · 1 year ago

For a great weekend that I can scarcely remember, full of inebriates and debauchery, I'll go with Tulane as my favorite tailgate.

For the best overall environment, full of cool people and a load of great food, I'll take the University of Washington, tailgating on a 40' Chriscraft in Union Bay.

Ben Prather · 1 year ago

Definitely NOT BYU.

No alcohol. No Caffeine.

Ole Miss I hear sounds nice. Forget the game though, and don't forget to dress up.

grcunning · 1 year ago

er???
what are you supposed to drink, milk?
and god help you if you light up a marlboro...

Cougar_Fan · 1 year ago

Hey now! Plenty of caffeine!! haha... but yeah definitely the most stone cold sober school in the nation.

Cougar_Fan · 1 year ago

What's flip cup? Hope that's not a stupid question. I've never been much into tailgating but we want to start doing it this year. Do y'all ever sleep in tents overnight? If so any tips/recommendations? I'm sure Ben'll tell you about the spiked Jello up at Utah, I've always thought that was pretty funny, I don't know kind of an inside Utah joke.

jake · 1 year ago

Flip cup is a game that involves excessive drinking of alcohol. Might not be in the cougars' back of tricks

Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago

You might want to try playing games like cornhole, ladder golf, or bachi ball. That might be a little more your style and they don't require binge drinking. Although if you're up for being a Jack Mormon and doing a little binge drinking, let me know and I can recommend many more games.

Ben Prather · 1 year ago

I forgot BYU changed the caffeine policy back about ten years ago...

As president of an ecumenical Christian club on campus my party experience was limited. I am not sure if Campus Christian ministries still exists, but it was affiliated with Salt Lake Seminary.

I am not actually familiar with the spiked Jello, but it would not surprise me if it were a whipped green color and had fruit trapped within it.

I may have learned more about drinking games upon my return to Panama City Florida. Drinking games with milk may at least get you familiar with the porcelain god.

As for the tailgate... wear red and find the tackiest red bus you ever saw west of Rice Eccles stadium, across from the huntsman center, before a Utah game. It is the best tail gate in the state (low bar I admit). They will NOT be sober.

If you must stick to BYU rules, grow a mustache, but not past the lip line. I think the over night idea is a little silly. Get their about 10 am and start the grill. Bratwurst and Kabobs are great. BBQ ribs are hard to beat. Don't forget drinks and chips/potato salad. Basically like a pot luck, everyone brings a little bit so their is plenty.

Clemson Joe has some great activities that would work. Anything as ridiculous yet competitive you can come up with will work too. The main point is to have fun.

PittsburghTiger · 1 year ago

Notre Dame used to be really fun because I had a bunch of friends going there. But the school paved the big fields and moved the RVs to north of the stadium. Not the same as before.

Pitt Stadium when it opened in 1925 had no parking and it didn't 75 years later so most tailgating was done at apartments. Still fun.

I have enjoyed Va. Tech and UNC tailgating as well. But AU is the most fun I have had for a while.

Hotty Toddy · 1 year ago

Are you kidding? LSU is a spectacle -- bunch of would-be pimps with feathers in their hats, drunk off their rear-ends.

Ole Miss at least has the decently to dress up and be drunk at the same time.

Plus, we have the Grove. Enough said. Ole Miss, HANDS DOWN.

The_Central_Scrutinizer · 1 year ago

OK, so you have the "decently" dressed up Group Grope in the Grove.

Have you gotten a replacement MASCOT yet?

TigerEducated · 1 year ago

I think it should be a requirement to have a football team to enter a discussion on tailgating for a football game...

So why is Ole Miss in the running, in that case?

OxfordAndrew · 1 year ago

In that case, shouldn't a team have fans worth tailgating with? If your last post is any indication, that may take LSU out of the running.

TigerEducated · 1 year ago

OxfordAndrew,

Take the corndog out of your rear end, and feel free to NOT question my fanhood, dear sir...

"Jerrell's a sweet boy, but he just can't read," I believe is what your DL signee's mom had to say about his intelligence...But good job in getting him into school there! LOL!

OxfordAndrew · 1 year ago

I wasn't questioning your fanhood, just pointing out that you exhibit the sort of rudeness I'd prefer not to party with.. Not that anyone needs to point it out.

TigerEducated · 1 year ago

OxfordAndrew,

Maybe you're a longtime lurker, but I assure you I'm not rude unless my cage is rattled prior to said rudeness...

You talked about "wanna be pimps" (Which the Tiger Pimp Nation does dress up for one road game per year, but that's only for ROAD GAMES, not home ones), as well as questioned our decency by saying at least you all dress up...

We wear shorts and Nike Dri-Weave polo's because we'd rather not wear that seersucker and have folks asking us when they installed a local landfill downwind from the Grove in Oxford...It gets HOT in South Louisiana...

OxfordAndrew · 1 year ago

The landfill would have to be upwind for your analogy to work.

I didn't say anything about would-be pimps (it's pretty silly, but so are most traditions), nor do I fault any school for not dressing up. It's our tradition and we don't have to explain it; it wouldn't be special if everyone did it.

Your football team comment set me on edge, especially since the Ole Miss-LSU games have been pretty competitive recently (though not in the W-L, sadly). It has been an embarrassing last few years with the Orgeron experiment, but I think we're on track to turn it around.

Ben Prather · 1 year ago

If we are measuring the Tailgate party, having a party good enough to make up for the lack of a game should give bonus points, not cause disqualification.

gatorhippy · 1 year ago

Agreed...

U.of S.C.1978 · 1 year ago

OK, I think I got it. Anywhere you can party, eat well. and get your booze on, with 70 or 80 thousand of your best friends, qualifies. I like those activities. I have certainly done those activities the most at U.S.C. So Columbia gets my vote. But I am open to all invitations and will reconsider if I have a better time somewhere else, which ain't very damn likely, just guessing.

Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago

Anywhere that you have to tailgate in a paved parking lot instead of a grassy field on a campus should not qualify. There is a lot to be said for tailgating around natural beauty.

Rich · 1 year ago

I know where you are coming from. I went to a game at Clemson and I had to park alongside the road and tailgate next to the woods with cars passing by within a few feet. It was a one-of-a-kind experience :)

Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago

Show up earlier to actually get a tailgating spot. There are very few spots that even resemble your description.

Rich · 1 year ago

Alongside the road going to the stadium. There were tons of cars parked alongside that road.

Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago

"Alongside the road going to the stadium"? Which road? There are quite a few. That is quite a nuisance that we have roads that we drive on.

Show up earlier and get an actual tailgate spot, or enjoy the view.

Rich · 1 year ago

Can't remember the road - it was a 2-lane road off the main highway that runs across I-85.

And jeez, next time someone tries to compliment your team's tailgate experience don't be such a tool about it. I'm not a Clemson fan and I'm not planning on going to anymore games at Clemson so I don't need to worry about showing up early.

Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago

"I had to park alongside the road and tailgate next to the woods with cars passing by within a few feet. It was a one-of-a-kind experience :)" = Compliment?

What? I wouldn't consider that a compliment at all. I am well aware that you're not a Clemson fan, and I'm assuming you are a VT fan. I don't mean to run you off. Come back for a game sometime. Next time though, seriously, get there early if you can. If you can put yourself in the middle of all of it (as opposed to the outer reaches) you'll have a better time.

Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago

I'd like to take that back. If you meant it as a compliment then I apologize. I did not take it that way because it doesn't sound like a good experience at all to me. If you get the chance you should come back, like I said, and get in the middle of it all. There are quite a few lots that are a great time. Most people are pretty receptive and will be good hosts. Don't come if South Carolina is in town though. Terrible fans come out of the woodwork on both sides of that one, and it's not much fun to be around.

Rich · 1 year ago

Dude the title of the thread is BEST Tailgating Experience - why would I rip on anyone's tailgate? Just accept the fact that some people don't need to park next to the stadium to have an awesome tailgating experience.

And I don't see how you think I'm a VT fan, especially since I ripped them on the "10 games...ACC" thread.

Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago

There are quite a few posts with people ripping on other school's tailgates. Why would you do it? I don't know, but you wouldn't be the only one.

I have no problem accepting that you don't need to tailgate next to the stadium to have a good time. My favorite place to tailgate at Clemson isn't beside the stadium. It's actually in a grassy area beside a creek that comes off of Hartwell Lake.

I don't remember why I thought you were a VT fan. However, ripping on them doesn't really exclude you since I will freely rip on Clemson when it's deserved. Sometimes the harshest critics are the ones who are the closest to it.

Rich · 1 year ago

So I guess I'm just as likely to rip a tailgate or be a VT fan despite evidence to the contrary? Interesting.....

blackdawg · 1 year ago

I bet you parked on Historic US Highway 123. The route that many a Georgia Fan traveled on his way to Death Valley, Little John or College Station (early to mid 80’s). Most Dawg fans have had more luck in Death Valley than they had at College Station. My record at O'malleys (Athen's) is a whole lot better than College Station (Clemson), both by the way are no longer with us. When I travel to Clemson we park where we can and walk to Tiger Town. We buy beer by the pitcher, play pool, talk football, watch the early game on a big screen. We have a good time, don’t let Clemson Joe fool you the scenery is more than green on game day. I’m married so all I can do is look but it wasn’t always that way. Clemson is a good trip, I make it once a year whether we play each other or not.

Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago

Quite similar to Athens in a lot of ways, huh? Yeah the scenery is certainly not all green. I think Clemson's "candy" is some of the best, but I didn't want to get into that discussion so I didn't bring it up. I have to admit that some of the "fairer" ones in Athens were quite aesthetically pleasing as well. I'll certainly be making the trip in a few years when we play again. By that point, I'll have been married for quite a few years, and will probably appreciate the collegiate sightseeing that much more.

shiguy · 1 year ago

What if you don't have that kind of landscape? I hate to sound biased but of everywhere I've gone WVU would be the best hands down. The sea of RV's is great but the pitt next to the stadium is where it is always at. Better hope if you're not a student you still have your ID though or a friend to get you in as a guest. (common it's always great when the school provides the food and cops hand out the beer cups!) But there is nowhere else to party most of the time around the stadium cept parking lots and such since there ARE NO open fields in West Virginia.

Rutgers was pathetic but excusable since they probably didnt' even know how to really tailgate till recently. Equally bad were Marshall, and Pitt (where do you guys tailgate at all???). I will admit Louisville was a good time but it was almost too spread out not enough of the tailgate chaos! I used to attend Maryland before transferring to WVU. I don't care what they say they DO NOT TAILGATE. Maryland like to make it seem like they're some wild school who riots and parties hard but they are not. Come on how crazy can it be when you have to tailgate at your BASKETBALL ARENA which is nearly a mile away from your stadium. I did find it funny how Virginia (UVA) tailgated better at UMD than Maryland ever did.

I will be interested to see what some of the Auburn fans think of the tailgating in Morgantown when they come up this year.

Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago

Well, if you don't have it then there's nothing you can do about it. In my opinion, and I'm sure I'm not alone here, it just doesn't compare to a green campus around you.

Ben Prather · 1 year ago

Their are not enough flat spots to have a field.

I bet the view of the mountains is spectacular.

Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago

I've never been to a game at Maryland, but while tailgating with some of their fans a few years back, they had so many great things to say about their tailgating. They told us to come up and eat oysters and clam chowder with them before the game.

I'm glad you shed some light on it for me though. I will skip that trip now that I know better. I have always thought that clam chowder at a tailgate sounded a little strange to me anyway.

Also, since Ben brought it up, I am very partial to mountains. How is the view around the stadium? I've always heard that Morgantown is a good time, and I wouldn't mind checking it out. If there is a good view, I'd like it even more.

Ben Prather · 1 year ago

If your into mountain view and relaxed drinking before games you might like a Utah tailgate. Not too rowdy, though I hear it may be picking up a little since I left.

Hard to beat the mountains though. The foot of a 7000 foot peak is half a mile from the stadium.

Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago

Actually I spent about a month in SLC and loved it. I went to the campus of U of U quite a few times and enjoyed the visit. I just didn't get to see a game there. I would love to go to the Holy War, and I'd have to wear red so I could drink. Of course, I guess I could wear blue and drink like a fish. That would probably turn a few heads. Either way, I'd love the chance to get back out there and see a game this time.

Ben Prather · 1 year ago

Me too, haven't been back since I returned to Florida in 2001.

shiguy · 1 year ago

Believe it or not the view is almost the exact same as it is in all the NCAA games. If you're down close to the field than all you're going to see is the stadium but that is the case for just about all enclosed stadiums. Now if you're in the upper deck then you can see off in the distance. You'll also love the drive into morgantown as well as it really doesn't matter which direction you come from you're going to winding through mountain roads with awesome views to get to the stadium. trying to find a good pic from the stadium looking out but i can't find any i might have to step up and go through some of my pictures.

Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago

What is the view like from the tailgate outside of the stadium? Link it up if you can find any pictures. I'd love to see them.

I have some great pictures of the view from Death Valley from last year's Wake Forest game. I might have to post them somewhere so I can show you.

Gatorader · 1 year ago

Haha... I remember when we used to go to UCF tailgating parties back when Dante Culpepper was the QB. The partying was so good, we wouldn't get in the game until the second half (if we made it in at all)

No one in the college football world can hold a candle to the "eye candy" on the campus of Ole Miss. Or in Oxford in general. The women here are unmatched.

Nice try, though.

Although I am not a big, Big Ten fan I would say Wisconsin hands down has the best tailgating. In the SEC I would give it to Ole Miss or LSU, although Auburn is a lot of fun as well.

obviously corn hole means something completely different to this guy then it meant when i was a kid.

OK so its a game i get it, guess im just old.

Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago

It still means the same thing. You're not old for thinking that. Somehow somewhere along the line people managed to make the term acceptable in normal speak by associating it with tossing bean bags in a sloped hole. Go figure.

AUtigerman · 1 year ago

Guess i owe that guy who asked me to corn hole an apology

Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago

1Tomcat · 1 year ago

Been to alot of them , I really liked the tailgate at Alamo Bowl - San Antonio, Texas vs Iowa the crowd was still primarily Burnt Orange, but the Hawkeyes had a good showing and everybody got along and people were very respectful on both sides, Shiner draft-purty cool. I got to meet some Iowa fans and some players families, nice folks. I can just imagine that Neb vs Mich was probably purty cool too.
Baylor Waco Texas is purty lame but, is not as lame as it used to be. Georges Bar had a big tent with T.V.s and a cash bar right across the street from Floyd Casy stadium-The fans all got free hotdogs from the worlds biggest BBQ pit sponsered by Earl Cambell's sausage & Mrs.Bairds bread. I was kinda surprized at a Baptist school -margaritas, beer and hotdogs what the heck.
