"Going into the wind"I thought NIU had an indoor football facility!Nope http://niuhuskies.cstv.com/facilities/huskie-stadium.html

Touchdown Northern! Caps off a 17 play drive.BG - 6NIU - 10

Entirely. This is the first weekend in a long time I'm not tailgating. It's kinda relaxing.

If you wanna listen to the BG game, it's here...http://whkradio.townhall.com/

BG - 6NIU - 3At the halfSalerno from NIU hit a 52 yarder in the 1st, but missed a 49 yarder in the 2nd. (2nd one was going into the wind)NIU has done a pretty good job defensively despite giving up great field position ala 2 picks and a terrible puntAnd Can't is rolling. Miami must SUCK!!!

With no Zips game this weekend, or next weekend for that matter, and everyone else excited about that game tonight, I've been watching some MAC scoreboards.Temple 14Ohio 10Final - ThursdayTesticle Tech 38Team with the Lame-Ass Mascot who broke my Z-Fence Sign 16FinalCMU 24Toledo 23CMU won on a TD early in the 4th quarterCurrently Playing:Golden Showers 24Ratbirds 72nd QuarterBG-STD 3NIU (I got no funny name for them) 3After 1 - BG already has 2 picks

The Tire Fire Party will be the final game of the season. We're gonna let it spread and take down the Bowl in a blaze of glory. Then I'm gonna hire Bon Jovi to come out and play "Blaze of Glory" with Emilio Estevez singing backup.

Zip81, this one seems like a prime opportunity for recruiting. It should be a perfect day, plus it's homecoming. I'll be throwing a Beach Party Tailgate! Everyone is invited to join in on the Palm Trees, Island Music, Rum, Jamaican Jerk Falcon and a Kiddie Pool full of Beer!! Please dress in accordance to the island theme!! It's time to get leid!!

I've also got a video of this coming, as soon as my buddy e-mails it to me. It's pretty much the same angle. You see the missed FG, everyone going nuts and me falling down the bleachers as I jump in hysteria. I'll post it as soon as I get it.

So far the weather looks like it will be gorgeous. I was originally planning on showing up to tailgate a little later since it's a 6 PM game, but Rowdy Zip, since you say it's the last Saturday game at the Rubber Bowl, I think I may still have to show up at 7 AM.

Awesome find Rowdy Zip. Now I get to go to work tomorrow and rub it in the faces of the 27 Can't grads I work with.

Kudos to them. I hope we play 'em again in Detroit.

I don't think anyone posted this yet, but here's ESPN's wrap on the game including highlights.http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId...9&confId=80

Hell Yea Bowser!!! Sorry K-E-N-T! Your princess is in another castle!!! (Those of you from my generation will most certainly get this reference)

Gotchya 81. Now I remember you told me that last week, but forgot since then. Apparently I had a little too much to drink. And it's true, there is a device that can detect alcohol in a cup. I think they're especially big around spring break time on beaches.

Zip81, Will there be an official AK Oldies Tailgate at Can't? I know I'm planning on setting up with the usual people, but I don't know where yet.

Hey Cap, I was in the West Lot 2 years ago when we got hassled. I guess I'll just need to get creative.

I can't believe I was even considering not attending this game because of the d***head cops last time. Anyone know where to tailgate for Can't? I remember being hassled countless times by cops on bikes 2 years ago. Where can I party hassle-free?

Ok, I officially spoke too soon. Forecast is now a 60% chance of rain. Looks like 40% all morning, 50% building up to kickoff, and 60% at kickoff. Maybe this time we'll get decent weather for the tailgate with a rainy game. Either way, I'll bring the Slip n' Slides.

PS!Naw, I guess not. Great pics Roo.

I'll be making the Cincinnati staple - Skyline style chili with noodles. Gonna put some of that chili on hot dogs of course as well. Probably a few Nosferatus and whatever else is in the keg.Zip81, your Bearcat Meat Patties reminds me of when we used to play Meat Baseball with leftover burgers. I guess I'll bring the baseball bat too.Also, I knew I spoke too soon. It looks like a small chance of rain on Saturday now. Looks like I may be bringing the Slip n Slides again.

If you're setting everything up the night before and plan on partying all night and camping, you'll be fine. If you're planning on setting it up and leaving then coming back in the morning, it will definitely be gone.

I sent out a few more invites via facebook. Plus all of the people who just show up will surely be there. With the nicer weather, *knock on wood* we should get a good size crowd.
