The Bobcat Nation

Who's bringing what tomorrow?
I'll be hosting some brats and burgers on the booster side in with the rv's. Lots of cold beer, chips, snacks. And, oh yea, some SoCo. So, come on over say, hi, grab some food, a beer and a shot of whiskey

Man would I have loved to re-schedule the Max for this weekend!

I need to go run a few laps around my office. I'm getting too excited too early!!

Well, thinking we would end up with another cold game we went the chili route for this weekend. Now that it looks like it is going to actually be nice probably could have held off on the chili, but oh well. I'll be in the same spot as always, along the northernmost RV row in the student tailgate lot. Stop by and have a bowl of chili and a beer before the game or at halftime if you like.

kmax, do you have a white RV that has a pop-out tent thing (for lack of better words). Were you along the fence about 8 spots or so down from the NDSU Wagon?

Going to be the usual brats and beer tomorrow. I will be tailgating with Cardiac, so look for the Stars and Stripes, Montana State, beer mug, and pirate flags on the booster side. I also have two extra tickets for the game, so if someone needs them stop by, have a beer, and you can have the tickets.

So we made up a checklist that everyone must follow each week as to what food item to bring, that way each weekend we don't have people bringing 30 gallons of ice cream and 4 tons of potato salad. If you would like shoot me an email and I can send you a copy so you can get an idea.

Celtic, nope it is a regular fifth wheel trailer. Was hooked up to a pewter chevy crew cab pickup last time. It was about 5-6 spots down from the NDSU Battle Wagon though. Look for a BobcatNation banner across the front of fifth wheel.

Here's a photo we snapped about 20 minutes before kickoff from the top of the east stands. It looked to be just as busy on the other side of the stadium. Quite a difference from just a few years ago, when people pulled up 5 minutes before kickoff and just walked into the stadium.

My brother who lives in Savannah, Georgia hasn't been to a Bobcat home game in probably 20 years. He was at the ISU game and thought we had a really good thing going. He loved that you could tailgate right outside the stadium. He's gone to a lot of Georgia Southern games since he's been down there so he's seen how the very best do it.

I haven't heard of any unpleasant incidents so that's good. I saw Peter Fields vigilantly patroling the tailgate area-make sure everyone was behaving themselves.

Many thanks to Cardiac cat, felisrufus, for the two game tickets yesterday. You guys are welcome to come and party with us anytime before the game.

We managed to cook about three dozen brats and two dozen burgers. Of course there was much beer needed to wash all that food down.

Can anyone describe a better day spent then yesterday? Friends, family, great food, cold beer, cheer like crazy and watch the 'Cats win. Ya Ya!!!

Belgrade,
I can't seem to pull up the pic. I'd love to see it. I think we need to post it on the any given saturday site.

Here's another-a lot of the folks at these parties had already headed into the stadium. The big motorhome in the picture was a group from Billings. That thing was sweet!

Here's a link to the first picture I posted, maybe you can view it that way. That's about as much trouble shooting as I can offer (slightly computer illiterate)

It wants a password for me to view the picture... oh well, send em to kmax or something.

Yeah, the links don't seem to be working. If you email them to kmax and myself we can add them to the photo gallery. If you email the picture tonight I will set up a link to it.

barechestcat, just glad someone could use the tickets! We had all intentions of stopping by your tailgate, but we went over to find kmax's rig, and then one thing leads to another wandering back and we never made it over. Yesterday was one of the best I think I have had tailgating. The number of people was outstanding and could not have asked for better weather. Can't wait for the next game in Bozeman!!!

(DONE)

Dang it! I thought I was being so clever.

Maybe our esteemed webmasters can get the photos up somehow. If not-no big loss (I'm no Jens Jensen or Jay Thane!)

Here are the pictures from Belgrade Bobcat. I shrunk them down a little so that it will load faster, but if anyone needs to see them in original size I can do that later. I think the pictures show the size of the crowd tailgating, WOW!

Thanks rtb!

Sweet pics. That was probably the best tailgate that I've been to in a long time. It was great meeting Kmax and Grizh8er, and it's always great seeing Bozone, Helenacat, suckit, and others.


Let's see if we can tailgate like this every game.

Roger that wbtfg(I now know what that means !) See you at the next home game. GO CATS!!

BTW BelgradeBobcat - using I use http://www.imageshack.us for all of my picture hosting needs - fairly "user friendly" as it has a way to post pictures in various forum types.

A buddy of mine who is a marketing major made up some wrist bands. One is blue (it's real blue, not that purple color like the bookstore has) and says "eat sh!t grizzlies" another is yellow and says "FTG". If you want one, PM me and I will give you his contact info. I believe it's $5 for one and $9 for the pair, but not positive.
