Tailgate Before Valpo
Tailgate Before Valpo
In keeping with refusing to let injuries keep our spirits down, we have a game tomorrow. A HUGE game that is going to tell us a lot about this team and program and how they will handle this season without their leader on the floor.
We should be properly prepared as a fan base.
I plan to be in the Ellery Pond area (where the 5th quarter club sets up before football games, south of the RC and Meade) by 7:45 tomorrow morning.
You'll know it's me by A) the 12x12 URI tent, B) the URI cornhole set BPR has, and C) the fact that I'm sure few are deranged enough to get up and properly tailgate a college basketball game in November.
I'll break out the grill and make a lot of bacon egg and cheeses, if people want to bring hydration refreshments or other things, that's more than welcome.
See you tomorrow!

Re: Tailgate Before Valpo
I'll be there bright and early. Anything specific I should bring (extra bacon for the hopefully long line of students waiting to get into the RC)?

Re: Tailgate Before Valpo
Yeah, maybe by tonight we all determine who's arriving and when, and with what food/refreshments.
I will be there no later than 9am. I'm hopeful to dump my kid off at school earlier than usual (he attends preschool at URI, fortunately!).

Re: Tailgate Before Valpo
I'll be there and will be more than happy to bring something. Maybe donuts?! Who doesn't love donuts.

Re: Tailgate Before Valpo
I'm hoping to be there in the morning with blue suit man and possibly another one or two recent graduates.
I'd be willing to bring some bacon if desired

I'll gladly cover like 4 dozen bacon egg and cheeses. Whatever else people are bringing is more than welcome - coffee, donuts, etc - but as long as people bring beverages to hydrate with that would be awesome.

I am taking the day off from work to be able to watch the game. Too bad I'm 2,573 miles away or I would so be there to be with such distinguished gentlemen & ladies.

Re: Tailgate Before Valpo
Where will everyone be parking? While I assume that parking enforcement in the areas near the athletic complex will be relaxed due to the game, I haven't seen that officially stated. I don't want my car ticketed or worse towed away by that rickety old red tow truck in West Kingston.
Are Football game-day tailgating parking going to be allowed? Can we get Thorr to approve of this??

Re: Tailgate Before Valpo
It's the Keaney Lot for parking and I believe that will still be enforced if you're not on the list. I would plan to park in the Mackal lots and walk over.

Re: Tailgate Before Valpo
I feel as though they won't tow in Keaney because of gameday. That's where people who are usually going to the game park. That's probably the best place to park.

I think it should become a new tradition! Thanks Blueman for the breakfast! As I posted in the Rant thread, I never tailgated before a BB game before. Next time I'll bring some gloves though

Re: Tailgate Before Valpo
Sorry Blue Man.
Guess I should read the board more frequently than just on game days.
Sounds like I missed a good time.

It was a great time! Thanks to Blue Man for setting this up and it was great to meet and reconnect with several board members. Hope this happens a few times this season!
Thorr even came by to say hello:

To echo what steviep said, thanks for setting this up Blue Man. It was great to meet some of the other die hard fans and spend some time talking rhody hoops
