I don't know if this idea has ever been floated before, but has anyone ever thought of putting together a TF.com tailgate? I think it would be a lot of fun and would be a great way to meet other people from the site. Not to mention if people don't have tickets, they can still tailgate and stay around to watch the game. I know SaintsReport.com does it for a few Saints game each year and its usually pretty successful, from what I hear. Any thoughts?
This is brought up EVERY year but has yet to really take off. To many people have their own thing going on to really put it on. If something were to be put on I would make it a point to show up for a while and meet some people....... bad thing is I think EVERYONE is the same as me as in they will be willing to show up, but have other obligations and others they normally tailgate with that limit their ability to put it on themselves.
That makes sense, I guess. I just thought it'd be a good way for everyone to get together. Maybe we should have another thread where everyone tells where they tailgate.
If someone is willing to put it together i'll show up!! I used to tailgate with Brett for every game. If we still had that group I would say we could put one on, but we all don't tailgate together anymore. I think with Brett and his new additions to his family has limited his "tailgating" but not sure......normally see him out there once or twice a season, but not like it used to be.
I think the wording is wrong here. You say Tailgate and everyone assumes an all day event. I propose this. pick a game during the middle of the season and we all meet for 30 mintues to an hour at either the Clock tower, Mikes Cage Parade Grounds whereever. Pretty much everyone at some point on Saturday walks around a bit. A small quick get together a toast to LSU and football in the fall. And a chance to put faces to names. Perhaps this could become an annual thing. Just an idea.:thumb:
No, what we need is some rich tiger fan to step up and say "hey i'll put it on, just show up...beer and food will be provided" .....its that easy!!!!:hihi:
Or...how about a T.F. picninc somewhere once a year..or an annual meeting? Maybe just one big tailgate once this year...i mean there are 8 games to choose from. Wouldnt hurt to have one all day with TF people. Not that i would be able to make it, but just my thoughts.
The problem with the whole day tailgates is everyone has their own rituals that they go through during the day. And being away from an enviornment that is famliar takes them out of their gameplan. Thats why alittle meet up once a season would work good with this group. Get everyone together someone take a group picture, do a few toast, put names to faces then go about our ways. You will never get people to agree to a whole day tailgate, I have seen it been tried every year since I have been a memeber and it still has not happened.
I made an effort to meet a few people from TF over the past couple of years before games. I must say that everyone we've met has been a lot of fun. Away games are the best bet for having people get together though. There are people like bigbully though who you'll never catch up with cause they're too wasted to tell you where they are. kidding!!! or am I? :hihi: Crip, TejasTiger, aztiger03, lsubatgirl, salty, JSRacing, LSUFan71, btiger ^^^ All are fun people to tailgate with!! even met SmaxCom last year at a friend's tailgate and enjoyed talking to him.........
