Tailgating

[UA Fan]

How was it? Report your tailgating experiences here

[ZachTheZip]

Saw some people tailgating on Market Street where the Mr Hero's used to be. Plenty of space and you get to show off to the city.Lot 34 seemed a bit cramped, and everything was pretty tentative. I am sure we'll have this thing down pat by the Can't State game.

[Dr Z]

Tailgating was fine. I was in lot 73 and lot 9, looked like everybody was having a good time. Too many worries for nothing IMO.PS A lot of people are still tailgating, I had to leave early to get to another party.

[tim123]

Lot 73 is where it's at...

[Zipsrifle]

Lot 34 was OK, but not as hopping as the fence at the RB. Still, I was pleased to see quite a few flags and people having fun. Oh, and let me say that UAPD did an excellent job today! I had my concerns, but as long as everyone was well behaved, no problems! Oh, and another bonus, apparently getting there before the lots open means you get free parking! I heard the lot behind the scoreboard was just a killer location. I'll be back at lot 34 next week.

[RootforRoo44]

I'll sum up tailgating in one picture:Now i gotta go clean that out since about 20 other people (including those pictured) used that thing besides me and my group .

Sure hope that photo doesn't end a promising young political career before it got started.Go Zips!!

If a politician is a Republican, they get a pass from their own party on things like cheating on a wife or soliciting sex in an airport bathroom. I don't think a beer bong will hurt his career.Rasor has all he needs to be a successful politician in northern Summit County suburbs. First, I believe he goes to The Chapel. The Chapel, like many new Christian churches, is as much cult-like social club as it is a place of worship. It falls right into the Republican's playbook of "us vs. them". "Us" means those that believe what we do and belong to our little group. "Them" means....well, I'm not certain they even know what it means. These churches also serve as recruiting tools for the modern day Republican party which has become more liberal than FDR with guys like Bush 43 and follows the intellectual lead of lightweights like Sean Hannity and neo-conservatives (code word for big government liberals). There was once a time when great thinkers of small government like William F. Buckley were the intellectual leaders of the Republican party (Buckley would have vomited out his bong water on neo-conservatives). Now, high school graduates and Sunday Christians have taken over that role. I honestly don't believe many modern day Republicans believe the childishly legalistic theology they are forced to spew for political purposes, which makes the party thoughtless and pandering to the most intellectually vacant, shrill masses. In a lot of ways, it makes them dangerous. The Republican Party has turned itself into a cartoon of itself. Like a lot of good cartoons, it is both funny and uncomfortable to watch......like South Park.Secondly, he writes about sports in an area where people love sports.I think this politician is a good guy. I hope he doesn't use his chance in politics to force others to behave and act as he may believe they should based upon his religious beliefs. Instead, he should think about freedom and what that means. Freedom is for everyone all the time. Not just when it is word that helps someone get elected.Let freedom ring!Go Zips!

I was thinking the same thing. At least he's on the RIGHT side of the picture.

What is wake forrest? There is a school in Winston-Salem called Wake Forest, but no wake forrest?

That school down there where people who can't get into Duke or UNC go to.

Thanks for showing us all what a bigot you are GP1. I'm sure you have some twisted rational for your opinions, but this is a sports message board. I for one, would appreciate it if you would take your convoluted wisdom to some other teams fan site. Perhaps one of those vaunted SEC or ACC teams you talk of here on the Zips message board so often. The fine folks at the Chapel will continue to contribute and invest their time, energy and money to make the Akron community a better place. People like you who think its ok to fire some cheap shots while hiding behind a computer screen are not needed as the only thing you contribute, is a sad twisted life view. Perhaps you should not post to this message board if you have to put someone else down in order to get your jollys. You now have the honor of being the first member on my ignore list.

Wake, Duke and UNC have some fine qualities, but they are no UofA.

Yeah...having a beer at a sporting event is crippling to anyone's political aspirations.

We got to lot 34 at about 9:55. There were plenty of tailgaters set up and ready to go. I was a little thirsty on Saturday and didn't get a chance to make it to zips fest or any of the other lots. Were any of the lots as full as 34? What is the consensus pick for best tailgating location?

[Dr Z]

Lot 73 was full. Plenty of parting going on. IMO, it could use a $99 sign that says "LOT 73" It is grass BTW.I only guessed where it was (just down Brown St past the gas station at the corner). 2 minute walk to the Info.

[scottditzen]

Hi Dr. Can you tell me if lot 73 was prepaid pass or $5 or a mixture of both?

THANK YOU Zip Watcher. Just when I was ready to label you the ZN board prude and marm, you completely redeemed yourself. I love political talk as much as anybody, but I love being able to come to ZN and just talk about UA and our Zippers.STZ

Is lot 34 the lot that i was in? I'm confused. I was in the lot at the corner of Grant and Carroll, the one right to the west of the computer science building.

That is lot 34. The 20 ft. beer bong and beer relays were in that lot. The University should release a parking map that that can be read.
