Tailgate

If it's a beautiful fall Saturday on the coast, there can be no finer event than a tailgate for UNH football. We did this last weekend and we had a great time. There were 10 of us, mostly UNH grads, although Johns Hopkins and Marquette were representin'. We had two grills, lots of chairs, a "tent" and more beer than 10 people could drink in one afternoon (although we gave it a good try). Burgers and wings were our hot meals, with veggies, potato salad, chips and cookies to round it out. Unfortunately, it was a noon game, so we really didn't see the beginning of the game as we quaffed beers and ate food. The radio blasting from our truck kept us appraised of the game progress as UNH whupped up on Dartmouth. We went in at half-time and here's a clue - don't bother buying tickets if you're going to spend the first half tailgating. We did get to see enough of the third quarter to realize that the tailgating was way better than the football. So, bring friends, a spare football or Frisbee and enjoy the fun that is tailgating. Out there in the fields below the stadium, there's a kind of insanity that can only be attributed to folks having too much fun with alcohol.
