slightly OT: Anyone got a tailgate for Umass I can crash?

Submitted by ebbtide on

My girlfriend is a junior transfer at UM this year and I'm taking her to her first game.  Only problem is I can't seem to find anyone I know tailgating. I don't suppose there are any Mgobloggers willing to let us crash their 'gate? I can bring beer and grillable meat as necessary.

Go Blue!

I was taught well by my parents.  In addition to that I have heard nothing but bad things about how the buckeyes treat people in Columbus.  Upon hearing that I decided to be a great ambassador of  good will, not only to our own, but also to the opposing  fans as well. +1 to you sir.

Yeah that is really cool. Do you have it in the same place for each home game dlanny or just this one?  I might head down for one more game but it won't be this weekend, BG, or MSU.  Probably Iowa.   I am not from the area and don't know anybody living in AA.  I'd love to have a place for my cousin and his buddies to stop by.

Hardcore Michigan guys all of us.

Just walk down State Street. Nobody cares usually if you join their tailgate at a house. People probably won't even notice you were there.

I lived on State a couple of years ago, and an entire Canadian hockey team that UofM had an exhibition game with the night before crashed our tailgate. They hung out and did beer bongs and such for 3-4 hours.

Awesome fellas, thanks for the info.  I am making the trip from upstate NY by train to make the game.  Hope to see some mgobloggers there so I can talk some in-depth foootball.

I'm coming down for the Bowling Green game, maybe I'll look up the tailgate, if you're tailgating on the 25th.  Last year I saw some guys pounding a  huge bottle of Jack Daniels on State at about 10:30 AM, I imagine by 11:00AM they wouldn't notice much of anything.

Barring any medical emergency or funeral goings on(which I hope neither happen), I will be at all the games.  Furthermore, I will be sending out facebook invites for all the tailgates at said games.  Not sure if my facebook page is public, but if it is you all can check out my pics of last years tailgates and this years as wel(or friend mel.  Although I do have to say I have come way more prepared to this tailgate this year.
