For those who may not be able to attend games but still want to "support the cause", how can they contribute toward the expenses of the offerings?

I'm not sure, we haven't discussed that. We'll let you know.

We will also have some live music. :-)

Make sure we have the generator.

Ok folks, sign up!

Someone create a facebook event.

What's the earliest anyone will be there?

Around noon.

Shouldn't the timetable for the UTEP tailgate actually be 11 AM Brunch? 12 PM is really too close to game time for a 1 PM tip...

And no mention of beer, etc., so I'm assuming these are all non-alcoholic...

Normally I should be the first some other tailgate crews might be out there as well like Greenhouse Gang etc. We all setup around each other but I should be the first of our group & have a white EZ Up canopy - should be easy to spot out in front of Bartow

No, there's beer around but still kid friendly G rated. Beer is more byob than we buy it for all to drink. You can bring some & others will bring some & there'll be coolers for it. I mostly do water/cokes but do partake on the occasion when I have time to settle down to enjoy a cold one

As was stated in the original post, times are subject to change.

What about us doing something down at Troy?? I realize its a Thursday night game, but it would be great if we had a decent contingent heading down there. A bus would be perfect.
