Annual VikeFans Tailgate and get together?
OK, Now that camp is behind us its really time to get cranking on this thing. We are targeting the Tampa Bay game on Sunday September 24th for our annual goings on. We are once again hoping to do some sort of Saturday gathering as well as a tailgate before the game....during the game.... and maybe after the game as well ( watch out for the cracks in the asphalt...they can be a real challenge) for those that dont know... typically there are a few that dont have tickets to the game, but want to hang out anyway so we get a TV set up in the parking lot with the game feed going on it for those outside... (this is actually a pretty good time as you can really get to know your brethren and the beers is much much cheaper)
So before we set anything in stone, who would be planning on joining us? Please note "Saturday", "Sunday", or "Both" in your responses as well as how many would be in your group if it will be more than just yourself.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?
It was a blast! If you missed out,,, make sure you get to the next one. Mike and Jimmy did an outstanding job on the food, prep, presentation. Meeting new people is always fun and Nchelle's crew are great people too. Meeting up with friends at a tailgate is an awesome experience and a must IMO. No matter what time you get there it seems like you always run out of time before it's time to go in. And that margarita machine was a perfect addition with the heat that day,, Thanks Nichelle!
Great job to all involved. I felt like I wanted to help but really couldn't find an area that needed it. BUT,,,, you guys still need to do about 20 more years of these before you can say "we've got this down"... maybe 30 more... you guys are young... well,, ..ger anyway,,, ...younger... =)

Gotta be honest here, I'd like to take all the credit.. but it was eagle eye Jimmy that spotted you and asked me for verification, both of us for 90% sure it was you. =) I think the old photo was from a Rush concert a while back... maybe?... whatever it was,,,, it good to meet you.
Had a great time! Nice seeing all of you again. And it was a bonus that the tailgate was right next to some folks I used to tailgate with (Karki, Geoff, Roweboat, etc). Thanks to Mike, Jimmy and Nichelle for everything you guys did to make it happen! The food was spectacular and the game even better. After hearing Skol Vikings and singing it about 6 times during the game, my kids were still singing it on the plane ride home.

It was right next to them because those are the folks I tailgate with now :) Such a coincidence!
I wish sometimes you could Like things multiple times.

Skol brothers and sisters. A friend and I are going to make it up there to the Lions game. Will there be a meet and greet Saturday and or Sunday? I'm so amped up it's sickening.

ATX, I would start a new thread specifically about this coming weekend. If you title it appropriately to get the eyes of those that will be there I can sticky it for you. I will be pulling the sticky off this thread and letting it fall so start a new one and see what you get. I know that Albudda is looking to meet up with others this Sunday, he is coming from the east coast and is part of a tailgate/fan club out in the DC area.
@"ATXVIKE" said: Thanks Jimmy I'll do that later in the week.
I would get it up there soon. We have a lot of people that only hit this place randomly give yourself the best chance of getting your request heard. I will start the thread and put it up there, you just feel free to add in your 2 cents and it can go from there.
I had thought about doing a guest book for our gatherings.
I also need to know who all participated so I can get them their badges.

The tailgates are always such a blast. It's nice to see peeps from before and meet new people. There is always that moment of putting the name and face together which is very cool.
