Just Jack Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Once again, Hammers Lot is the Official location of the Two Bills Drive Annual Home Opener Tailgate (TBDAHOT), now in it's 15th year, before the game against Miami in Week 2. Bring your own drinks, we'll provide water/Gatorade, bring food to share. Post any questions, comments here to be answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpile Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I have a hard time believing it is 15 years! I did not come to the first one, since I had group tix with some other people. When did Hammer's become the official spot? It is the perfect location for this event. I cannot wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 When did Hammer's become the official spot? It is the perfect location for this event. The first TBDAHOt was at Hammers, that was the Sunday night game against the Titans, back in 2000. It was also Labor Day weekend, so most people had Monday off.

eball Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'll be at the opener with my wife...we have tailgate obligations with local friends but I'm really going to try to stop by this year and meet some of you in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I recall being at a previous tailgate where Hammer wanted people to have a TBD sign on their car as they pulled in. Is that still needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) I recall being at a previous tailgate where Hammer wanted people to have a TBD sign on their car as they pulled in. Is that still needed? it helps them identify which car Gugny is in, mostly, since he is usually in the child's seat in back. But its also to help get erryone parked together. Just look for the big ass truck in the corner of the lot by the road. Dats us. Edited August 15, 2014 by jboyst62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I would definitely spring for a shirt. I'll be bringing a big bag of Kingsford charcoal. Food items to be determined.

My parents reported to me that they found your meat to be insanely tender and juicy. I'll have what they had, please, and I am more than happy to pay you for your services.

Beerball Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Unfortunately my new job won't allow me to make the opener. I'm really disappointed, but, I know some (gugny & JB shall remain nameless) will enjoy the day much more without me. If anyone knows of someone in need of tickets...I have 3 available with the TBD group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Jack, will you (like last year) start a separate "Food!" thread to have people commit/volunteer to bring certain items? Also, will we have the same grill setup as last year (it was perfect, IMO)? The Buffalo flavored donuts, I'm hoping, are a given ... right??

rockpile Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Will there be a "cover charge" to get a name tag (Thanks, Diane) and identify who is entitled to TBD food, grills, drinks, and so forth? It helped pay for the parking acreage we rent from Hammer as well as tent, tables, chairs, etc. Then if any is left we can use it to support TBD web site. Thoughts? Did I miss this in the thread?
