Hey Ruggedvision...

we got some lady driving us around, cooking us food, and such in Moscow. This does create the chance someone gets left behind in Pullman, so you may get your gutter stories anyways.
 
In all seriousness, when I saw this email come in to the inbox today, I cried.

It seems the alumni org actually listened to me from back in 2009 when they had that atrocious tailgate in Austin where they charged $50 per person (child or adult) for a plate of BBq and one drink (beer or pop) and the only hotel options were $199/night at the Downtown Hilton Garden Inn or $259 at the Downtown Marriott.

In retaliation, I organized the "Rogue Tailgate" sponsored by the Austin Buff Alumni Club for $10/head for all the beer you could drink until tapped and free sammiches. And live music...

Created an uproar at the mothership - I told them exactly why I did that - because they didn't provide affordable options for the young alumni fan with kids to take part and enjoy the Buffs. That they were pricing out a significant portion of the fan base because they were solely focusing on the "high rollers" which never show up anyway.

Making my reservations tonight. Have the green light from Ms. Rack, just have to figure out how it fits into the peewee football schedules of Rack the II, III, and IV.

I look forward to meeting your family.
 
That Austin tailgate was awesome! Except for the strange hippies playing guitar singing cumbaya under the trees - that was weird.

That was the "live music." He was the lead singer from Mobley, a band that came in second for the city pick for ACL that year. The whole band was supposed to show up, but they partied too much the night before.. However, the lead singer honored the commitment and he actually made a good amount of cash off of us from donations ($300 or something) so while it may have been hippie music, a lot of people liked it, they made money, and we were the ultimate rager on 15th and Trinity that day! I even got compliments from the UT regulars saying we did the location proud.

Fans at a CU tailgate liked hippie music?
