Feelin' Blue

This one will be short and sweet.  Our offense is terrible and our defense is young and hurt.  How we managed to beat up the Tarheels is a mystery to me.  Thankfully we prevailed and I have not heard a word from all my Tarheel friends this season.  We had great seats and enjoyed a stellar tailgate thanks to our Tarheel friends in the Bowles lot.  Bob arranged a parking spot with our host an we arrived by 8 am for a morning of tailgating and fun.  I will say that the Tarheels fans are late arrivers but they sure can drink some liquor, consequently they can fill up a black tank on an RV!

Fraternizing with the enemy

 

 

Starting them young

 

Predicted a Hokie win!

Phillip, Scott and all our Tarheel hosts were great to take care of us both with food, parking and perfect seats to the game.  Everyone was fantastic and I look forward to our return in 2016.
If Fedora continues his winning ways there should be a new coach by then.  Maybe Mack Brown will come out of retirement!

 

Great seats in the high donor area with a bunch of disgruntled fans

 

 

Getting ready to score

 

William approves

But I digress.  To recap the Western Michigan game.  Nobody can ever give TECH crap about our school colors, the WMU Broncos are brown and white!!  The only thing worse is brown and orange!!  Oh yea we beat them 35-17 with the lone highlight being that we scored a special teams touchdown 6 seconds into the game.  Left to go refill my stadium cup at halftime.

 

A Rod McGinnis sighting!!!

 

 

Sun is out, Guns are out!

 

 

How do you hydrate with this thing on?

 

 

Hangin with ClubHouse Tailgate

 

Put me in Coach!

 

 

This is about where my memory becomes fuzzy!

 

 



The Heinz Field curse continues.  Apparently when we cross into the State of Pennsylvania we can't seem to remember how to play football.  Should have lost by more than 5 points.  Hopefully the younger players learned something from that loss to a bad Pitt team and fixed it this week.

 

How many yards rushing?  It is a slow, white quarterback for gosh sakes!

 

 

Anybody see my offense???

 

 

Enough of the cute 3 yard passes.  Throw the damn ball!!

 



We are playing our favorite convicts Thursday night in Lane Stadium.  I love beating the Hurricanes even if it is the battle of the Coastal Division Basement.  It is not scheduled to rain but I would not be surprised if it poured down rain like it has in the last several meetings.  We are banged up pretty good and are young all around but I still believe. 

The tailgate is as always in Lot 7 and we are have the dinner catered this week by Sal's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria.  Eric White has graciously agreed to deliver and set up the meal.  The Menu includes Capresa and antipasto salads to start, Grilled Chicken Primavera and a Tortellini as an entrée complimented with bread sticks and finished with Cannolis for desert.  Hopefully this will make everyone's tailgate less hectic and we can all enjoy our meal and leave the clean up to Eric.  Feel free to bring anything you would like to go with this menu but again make it easy and travel light!  Donations are accepted for dinner.  Any extra collected will be used to tip the waiter and buy supplies for future tailgates.

Looking forward to seeing the tailgate gang on Thursday night.  Bring your appetitie and favorite beverage or just mix one up at the HokieMobile bar.  Travel safe and Go Hokies, Beat the Canes!
