EARLY Tent thoughts...

Post by ZiggyZoomba »

Of the 5 home games this year, which one should I get a tent for??

Toledo seems like the obvious choice, but it IS a Tuesday night.... That's where I'm leaning, but I would, of course, love to hear your feedback!

Here's last year's "tent" game photos to get you in the mood...

Let's see, Glasstech has a working relationship with First Solar... Maybe I can get a few demo arrays!

I rather not have it during the Toledo game just because I don't want their fans to come talk to us. in a confined area. Homecoming I dislike, too, because there is a crapload of tents. Considering I've never been to an Ay-Ziggy-Zoomba.com tent before though, take my opinion lightly. And Grant, invite this girl http://www.ay-ziggy-zoomba.com/gallery/ ... 4/IMG_0042 again! (not meaning you FF, sorry to disappoint :D )

I would think the OU would be a good one. Is that when fall break is for the students though?

Yeah that is fall break. I remember Krebs saying that he wasn't too happy about the MAC giving us a home game that weekend because of the break, I believe he requested we be on the road that week to avoid attendance woes of several students not being on campus.

Will these girls be there? (IMAGE REMOVED - Next time link to something like that, OK?) :lol: Okay forget that! I rather see a tent a Temple cuz I know for sure I'll be around for that game. The later games like UT in late Nove. are real schetchy cuz I might be in Arizona for the winter.

I think UT because it's the last home game....and if it's cold, we can can at least get out of the wind a little.

Man, my head looks like a fricking bowling ball...

The OU game would be nice since it is fall break. But I would love to see one at homecomming as well. If I am in Illinois with the "Wife to be" (don't start with me transfer :wink: ) we are planning on flying in for homecoming but any other games are up in the air with the exception of Toledo. So I am torn. But we are taking the train up to Madison :D

Hmmm....it really doesn't matter to me. It will be a great time, as usual. UT might be good since many folks, including myself, will have to work that day. I'm taking 1/2 day off and the next day as well to celebrate our MACC berth. :wink:

Whatever....we'll be there.

UT game isn't a bad idea, I think my other home game should be one of the two non-homecoming games in October (probably WMU)... and seeing how I always get distracted before I can make it out to the "tailgate corner", a tent would be a fun idea... :wink:

I suppose we could do two games... I'd really have to rely upon the generosity of members to help out covering costs though... That, and the new t-shirts which should be available to order soon... (right Metz??? ;-) )

I may have to limit it to one trip to BG this year and cover some of the other road games to get my fix. Anyway, the wife will be most likely up for the homecoming game so that would be my vote. though I think the Ohio game could be used to show support since many students may be away. I would certainly be up for donating to get a tent at an extra game.
Any chance you could put a gate on the tent. Then I could bring a kid or two and lock 'em there. :) I can probably get an extra trip back to BG if I take the kids. For some reason the wife has no problem if I give her a weekend to herself. (no secret boyfriend comments TG)

Secret? If you haven't gotten the hints with the pictures she has of her and I on your dresser, you'll NEVER get it! :wink:

And I haven't been around many (or any that I remember) tailgates, but the pictures seem to show plenty of fellow fans that would be willing to keep an eye on little ones, or little ones that would be willing to play catch with other little ones.

Who is all invited to tailgate with you guys? I'd love to find people to tailgate with for the games I go to (which should be most of them). Most of my friends seem to have better things to do. So the question is, would I be invited? (lol) I'm a poor college student, but I'll chip in what I can. I'll definately bring beer.
