Folks, this means that whatever you are planning on bringing , make sure you account for how many folks may want to take a scoop, handfull, or whatever of what you plan to bring. 1 quart of something to eat or 1 gallon of something to drink wont last long.

I'm bringing Mac & Cheese for my side.

I've got the cake ordered. It won't be ready until 11 on Saturday, so I'll get there around 11:30.

Yes & if multiple people bring the same thing to help cover for the large crowd we'll have plus those that show up unannounced. On meats, I'm doing the rib roasts but depending on how big they are & how I slice them down once cooked, Blazerjay bringing chicken will help fill in the meat gap. Anyone else want to bring some kind of meat that's quick to cook or some extra chicken? I'm going to get there 10ish depends primarily on how long the roasts take to cook at home so I may be earlier. They've not replied here but I've talked/seen on fb that they'll be here so may stop by - Grammar Nazi +?, MobileBlazer (I think that's his alias here - Mick+?)

Is there a consensus on how much space you guys have? By the time I was able to commit to a tailgating spot, I was told they were gone (apparently they got some more, but I was out of the loop on that).

I wish I could be there... #GeographicallyChallenged

I was planning to drop by unannounced and drink when no one was watching.

We definitely have 12 spaces and maybe as many as 14 depending in what happened with the 2 posters that never notified us of their final outcome.

blazerjay, put me down for paper plates.

As far as setup for canopies go, which spots do ya'll want me to start in on the map?

106-104
I think we only have 3 or 4 canopies committed so start in 106 and work your way up to 104, filling in on the back side 66-68 if more canopies show up.

I've got number 70 so put whatever you need there.

What is the biggest need right now?

Some water & diet/regular cokes. I'll have some but we're getting in the close to 50 range

I will be there with my father-in-law. I'll bring some chips. Sorry, nothing fancy. I just drove 14 hours, and five of that was through multiple tornado warnings.

Is alcohol allowed at the tailgate? Or did they nix that?

probably nixed by the ad but libations will abound for celebratory reasons before & after game
