[sackman]

Should be fine. Thanks.

[FChairbanks]

[Unleash Hell]

What is early and what kind of potatoes?

[sackman]

What is early and what kind of potatoes?

We'll be there right as the gates open, which is 8:00 AM. I wouldn't expect anybody else there until at least 8:30 or 8:45. Much will depend on traffic.

Didn't you say your wife had some kind of uber-awesome potato recipe?

Sorry guys, I got mixed up on who had the potato recipe. So Loblaw can bring the potatoes, and Leash can bring some chips & salsa. Does this work?

[B1Buff]

I also got a lot E taligate spot...its shaping up to be something epic.

[sackman]

You want to meet up somewhere prior to going into the lot so we can set up next to each other?

[buff4bcs1985]

Good. I was afraid you were on vodka detail and I'd end up schlepping a gallon of orange juice to the tailgate for nothing.

[sackman]

The person on vodka detail hasn't responded yet.

no ****... but i have to come in on light rail...

[Buffarino]

How soon after the game do they boot you out of the lots? Any time for post-game tailgating?

[Buffarino]

One more reason I hate this game:

The official policy for tailgating says you have to shut the party down 1 full hour before kickoff, which is different than Broncos games, which are 30 minutes. I wonder if they'll be enforcing that. WTF are people going to do for an hour before kickoff if they make us close up and disperse?

http://www.invescofieldatmilehigh.com/resources/pdf/2010_CU_CSU_Parking_Directions_Flyer.pdf

I think the reason they do that is because there is a higher % of people tailgating for this game than a Broncos game and they don't want the whole rush right at game-time. I doubt they enforce it too strictly.

[Buffarino]

Why does there have to be a rule about when to shut down tailgates at all? Aren't we all adults who can tell time?

[Rugged]

21 is the drinking age, I think the able-to-tell-time age is 47.

[sackman]

How soon after the game do they boot you out of the lots? Any time for post-game tailgating?

They give you an hour or so post-game to clear out. Sometimes it's the cops telling you to leave, other times it's the stadium crew. I think they do it to get the place cleaned up, but I'm certain this is not the same for Bronco games. In any event, you do have a little time, post game, to celebrate/commiserate.

[mdelpizzo_1]

21 is the drinking age, I think the able-to-tell-time age is 47.

DBT can you remember that far ago, were you able to tell time?

[sweaty teets]

alright. me plus 4 for sure. we are trying to get to invesco right at 8. you bought a blue (wtf) tent right?

[sackman]

alright. me plus 4 for sure. we are trying to get to invesco right at 8. you bought a blue (wtf) tent right?

If you'll be there with a total of five folks, can I convince you to bring some OJ & vodka?

Yes, the tent is blue. I have a white tent, but it's heavy as hell and takes up more space in the Jeep than I want it to, so we got the blue tent. If somebody can find a CU themed cover for the awning, I'm all ears. I haven't been able to find one that fits our awning frame.

And the lots open up at 8, so it might be 8:15 or so before we actually get parked.

OJ and vodka it is. just giving you some **** about the tent. if montanabuff is coming he could hang his banner on the front.

[RuffBuff]

Ok....I just got tickets so the girlfriend and I will be there! What should we bring?

[sackman]

Chips & Dip would be helpful. Maybe some bloody mary mix, too.

This is getting good. I can't wait for Saturday.

[sackman]

Looking at a good 20 or so people so far. This is gonna be good.

[buff4bcs1985]

would dale's pale ale work sacky?

[sackman]

Dale's is great. Good stuff. From Longmont, no less. It gets the sacky stamp of approval.

lyons i thought? they may have expanded to longmont as well.

vodka too? what kind of dip? guac? salsa? bean? queso?

[sackman]

vodka too? what kind of dip? guac? salsa? bean? queso?

If everybody who is supposed to show up with vodka does show up with vodka, we'll be fine. I'm just kind of keeping a running tally of what is supposed to show up and filling in the gaps.

Use your imagination for the dip. We should have salsa coming from Leash.

[sackman]

lyons i thought? they may have expanded to longmont as well.

They out-grew their Lyons facility. They have a big manufacturing facility plus a brew-pub in Longmont now. Place is packed every night. Has been for over a year now. When you come into Longmont from Boulder, you can't miss the brew pub. They painted a big Dales Pale can on the side of an old silo that sits on the property.

Are you carrying Sawtooth? That's good stuff, right there. I have a twelver in my fridge as we speak. Well, not a full twelver, if you know what I mean.

Beer, OJ, bloody mary mix, and celery.

I'm starting to think we may have more than we need of just about everything. So much the better. This is going to be fantastic. :woot:

[sweaty teets]

Never been a fan of bloody marys, but I do recall my parents tailgate's... they always had food coloring to make "blacky marys." They couldn't justify carying a RED drink.

Sacky, your tailgate looks well stocked. I am looking forward to joining in for the Georgia game.

[Buffnik]

Thanks for a great time, sacky.

Looks like you're going to have to start handing out pre-game Red Stripes this year.

[4DemBuffs]

Great time had by all (I think).

B-1 and I found what I think turned out to be a pretty good spot. The new table was set on fire, Loblaw forgot to bring the potatoes, Rugged's buddies drank my victory beer.

They were just looking after your father and father-in-law to make sure neither one lipped off to any riot cops after the game.

Big props to whoever supplied my coworker with the 151. Looked over mid-1st quarter and homeboy looked like he got hit by a truck.

There's still a little left. I'll bring it to the Hawaii game. Hopefully it will get drunk then.

BTW - I showed up with what amounts to a .75L of vodka and another half litre of rum, various people brought beer, champagne, and copious amounts of vodka, and I came home with a tiny bit of 151 and a tiny bit of Bacardi. That's impressive, folks. Our livers may not like us very much, but I have to say I'm impressed.

[buff4bcs1985]

did fanatic ever show up

The really awful part was that we hid a Dale's to save for a victory beer and THAT was stolen, too. We had two cans of Miller High Life. :puke:

If you're hiding something at a tailgate, it can't be in the main cooler. I've found that one out the hard way.

Bring a small cooler and put it in the front of the car.

Not a huge deal. Live and learn. Miller High Life is awful stuff, though. If I live a thousand years I hope to never have that swill touch my lips again.
