Have table and canopy if needed.

Have table and canopy if needed.

Have appetite and thirst--certainly not needed but I'm bringing 'em anyway!

Plus I will kick in a case of funky Pennsylvania beer (Susquehanna Brewing Company) that my brother in law gave me.

 

[Consigliere]

Don't forget your grommet tool and I'll unveil the new banner. Will throw a canopy and table in the car if needed. Plan on having a large contingent - 1o of us and 10 freebies thanks to Coach!

Speaking of that, I have a challenge for the Fine Mess Crew. My other (non-Cajun) brother-in-law and sister will be attending. Their youngest enters college this year so they have Saturdays free and I plan on recruiting two new season ticket holders. Steve was starting lax goalie at Navy for 3 years back in the mid 80s and was first cousins with former Orange goalie Tom Nims. Help me make them welcome and we'll add to the crew!

 

[CuseTroop]

The thread I've been waiting for alllll summer.

I'll be there (baring any flight delays).

I'll be renting a car right from the Rochester Airport, but will make a stop for beer. My old man and crew can bring anything that you guys might need.

If anyone knows of a way that I can find a Fine lot parking pass, that would be clutch. I don't mind parking somewhere and hiking to the lot, but it would make it easier for my dad. If not, no worries, a little hike wont hurt him.

See you guys there, and hopefully see everyone the next day at OE's golf tourny!

I can bring a grill, food, tables, whatever is needed...

 

[TexanMark]

From the sounds of it...we are looking at 75 people. I've added JSOrange97 as an Asst Chef.

 

[gocusecaz]

Mark, figure 9 people for me. As I have mentioned to Jeremy, I have a bunch of plates from last year.

 

[OttoMets]

Thinking four to six people? Will update closer to Friday. Looking forward to it!

 

[JeremyCuse]

Guys I am going to work out a few things behind the scene with Mark so please stay tuned to this thread for more updates as we get closer to the day of the tailgate.

As mentioned by Mark above please feel free to bring any beer/soda/water/booze you would like or if you have a special food item that is fine to. However, unlike previous years we are leaving a lot of the coordination up to the chefs of the fine lot tailgate.

As the fine lot tailgates have continued to grow it has become to difficult to try and coordinate items especially food amongst a dozen + people coming fromm all different areas and arriving at different times.

By moving to this new set up we will be putting more pressure on the chefs and the assistants to prepare, cook, and serve the offerings at each tailgate. As such we are asking that unless you are a chef, an assistant chef, and or the immediate family member of said person that you pay the $5 or $10 fee (if you a chef who is off that week there is no charge of course).

This is where the wristbands will come into play. Lincolncuse will collect the money and we will then hand out the accompanying wristbands. Please note that after much consideration we determined that this was the best bet in order to streamline our efforts and ensure that we can continue to recruit new chefs and that the people putting in the work can at least get some of the money there putting into it back. We know that in the past we were pretty lenient with enforcing the food and beverage fee but moving forward we are going to ask everyone to please pay the fee, it is extremely minimal and I can guarantee you cant find a better deal anywhere.

If anyone has any questions or concerns please contact myself or Mark via PM.

Thank you.

With all the hard work you guys put in, it's a damn shame if you don't AT LEAST get the money back that you guys kick in for food and beverages. Considering all the labor that goes into such a great event, 10 bucks is the biggest bargain in Syracuse or anywhere.

Just know that your hardwork does not go unappreciated! And anybody who tries to take advantage of you guys should be exiled to the Rutgers board--a fate worse than death.

ROLL ORANGE!

 

[Consigliere]

I can also bring my Roadtrip grill if you think we may need some additional cooking space. Just let me know a day before.

Nothing wrong with BB, but you need to cultivate those winning 5 per centers, Troop!
