It was good to meet you. It was an interesting day, that is for certain. The weather wasn't great and so a lot of folks showed up late, etc. Next year, make sure you come earlier in the season when we aren't trying to stay warm and dry. :)

When - Saturday November 25 - Lots open at 8 AM - kickoff at 2:30 PM Where - South side of Ag Hall Everybody is invited to join us at the Orange Power Tailgate for the first time hosting BYU. Always fun to bring in new blood. For this one it is currently looking to be a good cool fall...

There is always a standing invite to join us. Some tailgates are bigger than others, of course. That last one was good. We went through gallons and gallons of alcohol. It was a long, exhausting, wonderful day. The drive home to Joplin that night was not fun...

I would suggest that any/all of you show up early this Saturday. We have a good chance of having family members of players stop by. Also some former players may be stopping by as well. Get there early, drink heavily and cheer on the Cowboys. The mini-bar is coming into focus: We will...

Since they changed it so we can't re-enter the game, there hasn't been much call for the TV to be up during the game. After the game, we always come back (that is where we have victory beers).

Rumor has it that we will also have several player family members coming by the tailgate. So come early and stay late. :)

Yay! Looking forward to seeing you guys. Been too long.

When - Saturday November 4 - Lots open at 8 AM - kickoff at 2:30 PM Where - South side of Ag Hall Everybody is invited to join us at the Orange Power Tailgate for the final home Bedlam. One good thing about last week's weather and cancellation of the tailgate is that I didn't have to...

OK. After talking with a lot of people from the tailgate, we are just going to cancel this week. Its just too likely to be a crappy environment and then I will end up with everything being wet in the van.

No I have not done brats or anything like that so far this year. I'm pretty scared of the weather this weekend. Not sure what a good plan would be.

Our sources of wild game are hit and miss so to speak. of course if Bedlam is an 11 AM kick, then I don't have much to worry about. Wont have to worry too much about food at that one. Some yes, but nothing major.

Update. The Karma team that was going to cook for us for Bedlam had other business pop up and they will not be coming for Bedlam this year. I'm probably the most disappointed as that means I have to figure out what we are going to do food wise for the biggest game of the year. So I would...

NOTE - Due to the weather, I'm going to go ahead and pull the plug on the tailgate for this week. The plan is to push this week's food plan to next week/Bedlam When - Saturday October 28 - Lots open at 8 AM - kickoff at 7 PM Where - South side of Ag Hall Everybody is invited to...

An update for this week's game. While there is no Premier league this week, Wrexham will still be playing. So that match starts at 9 AM, so we will have the tailgate set up so we can start watching the match at that time. I know a lot of people love to watch the Wrexham documentary but...

Note: There will not be any official tailgate for the KSU game. It is still up in the air on if I'll even be able to make it to the game since I'm the only one in my group at work that isn't on vacation. So its possible I won't be able to leave Joplin until 5 PM which means no chance to...
