Another Fine Mess!

I got Texan Mark’s autograph in ‘98. Quadruple value now

How a Syracuse fan blog helped expand the ‘Fine Mess’ tailgate

The Fine Mess tailgate began as seven people in 2006. Now, it’s the largest pregame group in Stadium West.

I went to one during the 17-18 season. Mark had some tickets for sale and I met him at the tailgait which was amazing but also for the game. Mark is a class act all around and such a nice guy. I hope our paths cross again.

Great article but I emailed the author to let him know about the error regarding the “late Tim Green” Hopefully he edits this morning.

Good catch by SUFaninNJ

Update: he fixed it

The Fine Mess took my fandom to a whole different level. I used to be 100% content watching every game from the house or a bar. One trip with you folks and the Fine Lot or whatever opponent lot we take over, is the only place I want to be on gameday.

Looking forward to the day when I live a little closer and can participate and help out more often!

Just happened to be reading the Daily Orange when I saw the title and thought of the forum. Sure enough, it was about the same topic. Kudos to Mark (TexanMark ?) and the other founders. Salute to the ones are who are especially loyal including the one that drives to each home game from Jersey. Even if I drove, I don't think I'd have it in me to travel four hours each way.

Not a big deal but didn’t the fine mess have it’s orgins in the old syr.fan gate at the trolley lot ?

There’s a few of us who make that trip. If CuseTroop can travel all the way from Alaska to SU games in the Bahamas and New Orleans, the least we can do is deal with driving through Scranton.

You are correct sir.

1998. Tennessee. If memory serves me correctly.

Mscuyahogacuse: “Let me get this straight. We’re going to tailgate with your internet friends?”

Yep. Still doing it whenever possible. Two kids later.

Always a great time, living in the Midwest I tend to attend more of the away games but regardless of where its held its always a fun time with Mark and the crew!

We will be hosting Syracuse fans for the Louisville game in November and bringing our NFL set up since TexanMark cant make that game. For this one we will also be teaming up with the SU Alumnis from the Cincinnati region, Hope to see many of you there! Stay tuned for details!
