I'm thinking adamantium

I couldn't tell you about the changes to tailgating in the stadium lots as I was not near them. Walking to the stadium: Heard alot about the new laws regarding open alcohol containers on public roads/walkways around the stadium. Saw many people who had them, and nobody get hassled about it. Approaching the gates: Supposedly they had increased the distance from the stadium into which you could not bring alcohol. Didn't notice this at all. Those that brought their beers with them still drank them near the gates. At the gates: Had a person at each gate with a bullhorn who was reading a prepared script about the new measures. Everyone still took everything metal out of pockets. Used to have separate lines for guys & girls - no more. Since no pat downs, they had male & female security handling male & female fans. They wanded everyone. Didn't se anybody turned away for anything disallowed. It took maybe 2 minutes to get through, at about 12:15 PM. During the game: Noticeably more uniformed sheriff patrols, stadium personnel, and security going up and down the sections in the lower bowl.

"Tonight, I become a man. Here's to you, Kate" or "Oh honey, look. Serena's just got such powerful ground strokes. She covers the court so well. And those serves are amazing. Her backhand..." Oh my GOD WOMAN SHUT UP! I'm busy here!

1) I love you guys! It's so awesome that so many come in from so far and we get to catch up in-person once a year. 2) Many thanks to the folks that contributed so much food and time. Meades of course for the amazing strombolis. Beerball for manning the grill after the game. Just Jack for the gatorade, water, etc and all the time and effort. 3) Thanks for making my buddies Ian, Jamie, Jeremy & Kelly feel like part of "the gang" even though this was just their first or second time being at this shin-dig and never actually posting. 4) Thanks to jboyst62 for the apple pie moonshine 5) Very cool to meet some Tailgate newbies this year. Gugny and jboyst62 come to mind and I'm sure there are others that are lost in the blur 6) As always thanks to Hammer for being such a good host. He was heard more than once telling his people "the lot is full except for Two Bills Drive!". I just wish there was a quicker way out of there. FYI the Meades have volunteered to take over T-shirt design and execution for next year so be ready for a return of the traditional TBD Tailgate T-Shirt! From what I hear we'll have many more options - we'll have artwork designed and it can be applied to shirts of different styles and colors. Once again my camera was buried in the bottom of my trunk somewhere and I didn't get a single photo. If you took pics please post them here so we can all enjoy them and relive the day.

But but but this is the week when they celebrate not putting anybody new on the Wall of Fame. How can this not be a sellout?

Heading to Wegmans to pick up tailgate supplies. Hitting the road at 2PM. Woohoo!!!

It's that thing you're always late for.

Oh, now it's ON!

Jaws apparently also predicted the fish would win the AFC East this year. I'm starting to worry about him.

http://www.wben.com/topic/play_window.php?audioType=Episode&audioId=6514254 Well done, SDS! And they got your name right!

Hammer I have a friend who'd also like to park there. Please add a general spot to the list under the name 'Durham'.

I follow Sally every day on Facebook, and I'll wear the shirt proudly. Praying that the remission sticks. Find Your Strong.

OK

Slight change to plan. Now playing at Arrowhead Golf Club in Akron (near Depew). We've played here before - Tailgate Open III was here I think. Tee time is 3:30, rate is $25/person for 18 with cart.

Just Rochester - just one of the plusses in the Rochester column when comparing the two.

We'll be golfing starting at 4 so probably not even getting to hamburg til 6:30. Clean-up should mean we get to Danny's 7:30 ish maybe.

I made a tee time for 4 at 4PM (earliest they had). Price is same as last year - $28/person for 9 holes with carts. We can probably add another behind us if anyone else wants to join.

Guff right now it's just me, my son, and 2 buddies of mine who you met last year (Ian & Jamie).

Badol you are right on with the home fries comment. I always go with French fries at Nick's cause they do them up fresh. Some places now offer actual tater tots as a base and if they are done fresh they are very good.

This is just so freaky. For some reason just this week I was telling my daughter about Nancy Kerrigan and how she got her knee clubbed by the boyfriend of a competitor blah blah blah. Then 2 days later whe was on the Today show. And now this shows up. Queue up the Twilight Zone music...

Congrats on the 2k posts, also.

Impressive...

Usual time Usual Spot ROLL CALL! Who wants some of this?

Wrong reason to blame the managers. Whose idea do you think that really was?

You are wise, oh fearless leader!
