** Official Fine Lot Tailgate thread for Pitt **

[JeremyCuse]

Bees or Tomcat can you pin this, or my favorite admin CTO.

OK guys were hitting the home stretch here, only two games left and luckily for the first time in a while they are home games. Were expecting a smaller turnout due to the weather and time of the game but will still be putting out a solid tailgate spread and experience. If your planning on joining us please try and respond to this thread so we can attempt to get some type of head count. Newbies and lurkers are certainly more then welcome. If you have any questions please feel free to respond here or send me a PM.

Before we get to the menu a few quick notes:

- If you are coming and have a canopy please bring it, the weather looks a little iffy but at this point it looks like we might avoid the rain/snow.
- The diehards will be at the lot around 830 ish, for everyone else plan for about 9am. The 1230 start time is a nice little perk for the tailgates, we usually go till about 12:15.
- We are staying with the $5 per person charge for food if you are not a chef or contributing to the tailgate. Cuseregular is supplying a cooler of beer for those who would like to eat and drink, for that we ask $10 per person. If the $5 dollar fee is an issue simply pull myself or Cuseregular side we are more then happy to take care of you.

Right now our menu is looking like this:

CuseRegular-2 canopies, including one heated for comfort. Big cooler of libations, sausage or ham with egg n cheese breakfast sandwiches f0r 40, wifes fritta for the sterno thing again, the usual traveling tailgate road show of chairs, grill, tables with all the neccessities.

Myself- Bacon cheese burgers, Chicken wing dip, grilled chicken sandwiches, corn muffins, chocolate covered pretzels (board favorite), jello shots, hot rum cider.

Bees - Snack foods/Canopy

GOSU- Canopy, other items

DCCuse - Chili

LincolnCuse - Burgers, Cheddar Cheese, Bacon, Andre, plates.

Java - Buns and Chips

Tomcat - Ham, Plates, forks

Let me know if I forgot you and I look forward to seeing everyone Saturday.

I believe my wife and I will be making our first appearance to a Fine Lot Tailgate. I'm looking forward to putting some faces to names.

We're more than happy to put in $10 per person or we'll bring anything you guys need and/or are looking for.

We may not get there until 11ish as I have a men's basketball league on Sat. mornings.

Hey Finwad, we hope you can make it. Because your getting there at 11 I would suggest you just pay cash that way you dont have to lug food and other stuff to the tailgate and we will be in full swing by then anyway. Thanks!

Mrs Crusty and I will be there. We will bring a canopy and some coffee.

We plan to stop by...but won't be eating. And we will bring our own beverages. Have some things to bring for the Adopt a Platoon collection.

I will be there with my lonely little Adopt A Platoon Station (and br0-in-law)... but... I will be bringing a propane heater to warm your beers and body parts---but only if you bring a donation! Warmth will be arriving around 10:30. (Is it worth a coupla bucks?????)

Tailgate contributors can warm their butts for free.

6 pack of Saranac Nut Brown Lager bottles.
Chips (regular and BBQ)
Buns (16 pack regular hamburger and 12 pack sesame seed)
White Stilton with cranberries

Hey Guys, we just got back after a great weekend! Wanted to send huge Thank You's out to everybody at the Tailgate- it was a blast. I've had the good pleasure of attending a number of tailgates along the way but the friendliness and generosity of the Fine Lot Crew is the best that I've experienced.
Huge shout-out goes to Jeremy for grilling up some amazing burgers and for driving us back to our hotel after the game! Also to Sean (sp?) and Mark who were great entertainment at the Tailgate and the game. I won't forget about the famed OrangeEyes who was a great entertainer himself. It was great meeting each and every one of you and I look forward to next year when my wife will be with me!
All the best guys and Beat BC next week!
