There's A Tailgate on Saturday? Yes, There Is

PrintRight then, homecoming. It's also BHGPcoming, because our first annual Black Heart Gold Ptailgate is upon us as of tomorrow.
We tried getting donor lot passes, but those quickly became unfeasible; this site doesn't make that much money, people. So we're going to the Myrtle Lot, planning on getting there around 9-10 a.m. Yes, we know you're all superstuds who wake up at 5, pound a handle of Captain for breakfast, then go the tailgate and fuck every coed in sight. We're sticking with 9-10.
[UPDATE: A handy map from Anonymous Hero, whose name we applaud.]
Here's what to look for:
Cars: Gray Honda sedan and green Tacoma pickup. Maybe a yellow Aveo too if we're lucky.
HS: A tall guy in a STANZI IS THE MANZI shirt.
OPS: A chubby guy with a Civil War moustache and an Iowa jersey with a retired number
HFMR: Not in attendance but he's a dead ringer for Wayne Newton (no he is not)
Refreshments: We're bringing plenty of beer, but sheer logistics dictates that we wouldn't be able to get everybody drunk even if we got a keg. Tragically, we are not allowed to do that--we checked. Also,
Food, meanwhile, is essential to maintaining the strength of a tailgate--especially one that lasts longer than 11 a.m. We're bringing pizza and chips, and those who want to bring their own are welcome to do just that. It's a celebration, bitches.
As for behavior, we're happy with the type of conduct that typifies our comment threads, and we expect everyone to get good and drunk when
WHOA WHOA WHOA THERE BUCKAROO
...Gary Barta?
BLOODPUNCH BARTA GMX MUTHAFUCKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
GMX SAYS RIDE! OR! DIE!
WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS TAILGATING BEHAVIOR
Oh, yes, you expect us to not drink to excess on account of the other fans who don't do that
CORRECT
BESIDES, ALCOHOL IS FOR PUSSIES
I GOT SOME STUFF
Uh-oh.
What, um, what would you rather we do instead of drink beers, Mr. Barta?
I DEMAND WE REPRESENT OUR UNIVERSITY PROPERLY
SO I WANT EVERYONE TO BRING A KILO OF COCAINE AND A LIVE BENGAL TIGER TO THE GAME
Wait, what? Okay, first of all, that's way too much cocaine for one person to use
SOME OF THAT IS FOR THE TIGER
OBVIOUSLY
And then the seats are pretty cramped as it is. There's not room for 70,000 dangerous animals!
THEY CAN BE ON THE FIELD
You're the worst, Gary.
EH, THIS IS JUST SO I DON'T HAVE STEPPING UP BREATHING DOWN MY NECK ABOUT DRINKING
Oh yeah. Stepping Up is pretty awful.
SURE ARE

Ptailgetting, errr, Ptailgating
If i wasn’t going out of town, I would be there with you guys, instead I will be with the I-Club members in Minneapolis/St. Paul area.
"You don't become a Hawkeye fan, You're born with Black and Gold in your veins." - Me
I'll be hosting the Richmond, VA branch of the BHGPtailgate
If anyone wants to stop by. Not exactly expecting a huge turnout.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
the hawk nerd will be tailgatin too
be on the look out for a guy wearing a black hoodie with gold @iowahawkeyes. beer bongs are a must!
The important question
Will Ms. TigerHawkNipples be tailgating?
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Oh I miss her so.
I wanted to change my screen name to Mr. TigerHawkNipples. Hell, I still do.

I just now noticed
That’s in the backyard of my old house. Damn, how did I miss that?
Before you respond, let me remind you: Brian Cook called me smug, which makes me the Obama of smugness. I'm basically Smugbama.
Fuck. In Dallas, and out of luck. My wife has advised I’m joining her in going out to dinner with friends at 7:30. And she’s a double Iowa grad (BBA and Masters) to my single. Her priorities are not right. Still, I can’t decide if being away from the tv and computer for what will end up being much of the game is good karma or not, fearful of whatever bad juju I occasionally bring. DVR will be rolling but it’s not the same. Anywho, am envious of what sounds to be around 9-10 hours of preparatory drunking. Weather in IC should be what? Not like last night in Columbia, I’m guessing.
So, so jealous...
I will toast you all ruefully when I crack open my Delirium Tremens.
Have a great time.
Still gonna be a liveblog?
DTs, nice call.
We’ll still have an opened thread, yes.

Is excellent. But about three in the fruitiness does me in. Of course I’m half in the bag.

Who the fuck schedules a wedding during football season?
Much less on the day of one of the biggest games of the year?
and why in gods name are you going to the wedding and not just watching the game at the reception bar?
I've got another damn wedding too.
That’s 3 wedding so far 6 weeks into the season. I’m starting to get annoyed. I’ve already called around and found a bar that’s playing the game within walking distance of the reception if the game is close in the second half though. I also went and bought a solid yellow tie last night (I know, why don’t I already have one). I’m rocking the all black with a yellow tie tomorrow. Might as well represent even in the formal setting.
Fuck tOSU
I too am in a wedding
However, the groom has been notified that come 7:11pm whatever events may be occurring I will not be a party to them.
And to answer the question, who schedules a game during football season: a UNI grand and an ISU grad, that’s who.
The follow up question: Why are you friends with these people? I cannot answer.

In front of the law school
There’s a path running through the wooded area right in front of the law school, walk through there and up and hill and you’ll be in the lot.
Alternatively, turn off Riverside at the corner with the Kum & Go and go up that giant hill. The lot will be to your right.
I have no idea if either of these directions make sense, but they’re the best I can do.

I'll be rolling into the IC right around 9,
With a handle of Svedka in tow. If I need to pick up the Kahlua and cream, be sure to let me know. I’m one of those non-beer drinking sissy types. Plus, it wouldn’t be an Iowa football Saturday if I weren’t drinking white russians.
We're bringing the Kahlua and cream
Unless you are security, in which case no we are not.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Maybe security will be more ramped up for this one
But for the Arizona game I was left perfectly alone whilst smoking my cigar and drinking Jack and Coke.

Selling stuff?
You guys have probably already thought about this, but just in case, it probably wouldn’t be the worst idea you’ve ever had to have some shirts to sell. I for one would partake in such an activity. See you guys tomorrow!
Hameed
I downed most of a bottle of Jameson before the Northwestern game last year and never heard a peep from those in Iowa’s Law Enforcement Community FWIW. That also came in handy because of the stab-my-eyes-out ending to that particular sporting contest.
As for who schedules weddings during football season…sadly…my fiance does. I’m getting hitched next weekend. She was inflexible on the month, but was open to the weekend. Needed a weekend where Mizzou and Iowa were either off or out of town. The 17th is the only such date this month.
So, in conclusion…
Fuck.

I got engaged in April, and the future mrs was sure we'd be married in September.
I laughed. Wedding was subsequently moved to June and I even convinced her that her colors should be black and yellow.

well played
I had an october wedding, and it was pretty non-negotiable. Of course the game we missed was that horrible loss at IU. So I should be thankful. And in her defense, last year for our anniversay I gave “us” second row tickets to the cubs playoff game and this year its a stay at the sheraton (keeping it class my friends) in ic.

At least it's an early game...
Congrats Matt. It’s worth it!
Of course, I got married in August, so…

Congrats Matt!
BTW, I got married in Key West in late January. So, stand back and admire my awesomeness.
You are far too awesome for me.
She is making up for it though. My birthday/wedding gift are tickets to the Iowa/Indiana game on Halloween (my birthday is on 11/1).
I’m slightly excited for that.
Is it wrong that I’m looking forward to next Sunday more than next Saturday. If I’d known how much stress this was going to cause I think we would have just gone to Vegas.

Wedding planning
is fucking horrible. If you can stay together through that shit with nothing more than a few minor-ish battles and only a few quarts of tears, you’re good to go. We were totally ready for Wedding Elvis by the time we got down to that last six weeks or so.
The wedding itself, however, is really fucking fun and gives strong enough hindsight to make the craptacularness of planning it worth it.

Here's hoping
you’re right. When your future bride is so stressed out she can’t really sleep at night, you are ready for the whole thing to be over and done with. I have no doubt that the wedding will be a blast. Going to get to see buddies I haven’t seen in years and getting married…plus (hopefully) a huge win over Wisky. Has the opportunity to be an epic kind of day.
Today would be super sweet as well if the Cardinals can manage to get swept and Iowa beats Michigan. I will be one happy camper.

Superstitions
I have game day boxers, jeans, doo rag, and shirt. I also have game-eve boxers and my friend eric that I call
I think I'll stop by
I’d be the guy that looks more like a Sophomore in High School than one at Iowa in a Iowa hoodie and black City High jacket (and hopefully with a bottle of Svedka).
Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.
I'll probably be there...
around noon and stay for a couple beers. Would love to stay longer, but I have to many friends that decided to come into town this weekend that I haven’t seen forever. I will look more like a middle schooler, but be in some sort of black hawkeye stuff.
It's not that I'm lazy, Bob, it's just that I don't care
I should be there for awhile
Not sure how long yet, I also have some other tailgates I need to hit up before the day is over, but this is close enough to my place that it’ll be my first stop. I’ll be the heavy-set dude in the black hawkeye shirt, black fleece, and gold hat with the old school flying Herky logo.
Can't mess with Karma
This combo has severed me well so far this season, so I can’t mess things up by introducing blue to the mix. In my heart, it’ll be there though I do proudly rock a Luther cap or shirt at various times throughout the week, just not on game day.
Go Norse, brothers.
I’ve spent many a Saturday rocking dual pride. Layers indeed.

Will there be TV's?
I have dick to do, but I hate trying to find a place to watch the game if I don’t have tickets. If there are some there, then I’m in. Wife is out of town, I have shit to do, sounds like fun.
Wish I could be there...........
But instead, I will be holding the weekly meeting of the Hephzibah, Georgia Hawkeye Fan Club (HGHFC?) which, as of this moment, has exactly one-and-one-half members. My wife doesn’t care enough to count as a full member.
Keep your head up.
You’ve gotta start somewhere.

I'll probably stop by....
….but I, too, have another tailgate or two to attend at some point. Prob will be by in mid to late afternoon.
Looking at the posts, I’m wondering how many of us went to Luther College? Counting me, there’s three already. Interesting.
If I come, I will be the one wearing black, like Johnny Cash.
In case that’s not detailed enough, a black jacket with IOWA on the back. Mrs. Director will also be there, since she’s a huge Hawk fan. She’s a cute little strawberry blond, but then again, maybe I’m a bit biased.
If the other Luther guys are there, we can do the “L-U, L-U, L-U-T-H…..T-H, T-H, T-H-E-R…” etc. cheer together.
But only once, and quietly. After that it’s gotta be “I-O-W-A”.
If it's not too much trouble, search your soul--and then ask yourself if maybe I might have a point.

Hell yes
I think there are four Luther grads in this thread, so that’s pretty cool. I seem to recall a couple others who regularly post here, but I can never keep track of the names here.
I swung through the lot a few minutes ago and couldn’t find the BHGPtailgate (did have a beer with some dude I hadn’t seen since high school though, that was cool). I’m about to head out to another place for awhile, but I’ll try to swing back through again this afternoon. Can’t promise that I won’t just get drunk and forget about it though, so if I don’t make it, hope all you fellas have a good time.
I'll represent the other side of the state...

There in spirit
I will be there in spirit but physically I’ll be on my sofa in Indy with a goblet of Chimay or Duvel in hand. Hopefully my sick child will ba asleep and my dining room will be painted. Otherwise, I’ll have to watch it via dvr.
And you can take that to the bank.
