3A Downlow tailgate party @ Texas Stadium!!!

[sinton66]

How about we organize a 3A Downlow tailgate party at Texas Stadium this Saturday? Any North Texas Downlower's got a pit on wheels? I've got one, but don't really want to drag it all the way to Dallas. I also have a bunch of mesquite I could bring. We could get there early, have a feast and watch some great Texas High School football. I think it would be a great way to meet and greet fellow Downlowers from across the state. What do you say Downlow?

[pirate4state]

I say, NO FAIR!!! I want to go, but I just don't want to make 2 trips to Dallas (I'm there for Christmas this year) w/in a 2 week span. I'll probably end up making the drive to SA to watch PI & hope that they televise the Burnet/Gainsville game!! (VCR=greatest invention :D )

Who knows I may change my mind at the last minute...it has been known to happen! :D :D

[sinton66]

If a championship happens in the San Antonio area, who says there can't be a second tailgate party? I won't be able to make the DII game this year, I'll be watching my daughter get her Master's degree. Else, I'd be pulling together one for that area too. wink

[Ranger Mom]

I am planning on being there!!

Still working out a few details!

[DawgMaw02]

I would love to join in! I make a mean Potato Salad! lol
And even though I'm a newbie at posting here, I have been reading the boards for quite some time and would love to meet all of you!
Count me in! :D

[eye of the tiger]

Forcast for Saturday December 13th for DFW.
60% chance of T-Storms high 57° low 40° . Sounds like great tail gate weather to me. I can't provide a BBQ pit, but can bring almost anything else needed. Let's do it.

[Ranger Mom]

60% chance of rain?? What is rain?? LOL

I guess I had better get to Wal-Mart and get me some umbrellas or slickers or something!!

I don't want to get wet - I might melt!

Seriously though, let me know what time this is going to happen and what I need to bring!

[sinton66]

Oh man, eott, you know I'll jump at the chance to meet you. I can't think of anything I'd like any better than that. I've already discussed this with PPHSfan, and we should be able to pull this off. He's checking on a couple of things and should join us on this thread this evening or tomorrow. Hopefully, someone up in that area will be able to bring a pit. Looking forward to it my friend. wink

[J-town Hustler]

If Dallas wasn't so far off, I'd be there representing Jasper. A six hour trip though. All worth it to me. If I get a chance to come, I'll see you there.

[eye of the tiger]

66, I too am looking forward to meeting you my friend and congrats on your daughter getting her masters. And all the other downlowers that are able to come it will be good to meet you all. I'll bring my digital camera and we can take lots of pics for those that cant make it. RangerMom the forcast changes hourly it seems around here so I wouldn't count on it being accurate. 3 days ago the weather guru's said the high tomorrow was going to be in the 40's, now they are saying in the 70's. I'll keep the board posted on the weather conditions. This is a good thing you are organizing 66, many thanks.

[Keith7]

i'll go if food is involved

[3afan2K3]

I'll try and be there

[KTJ]

i'll be there. now whether you'll be able to find me is a different story. :D

i'll be in that sea of red though...

[spaniard]

im gonna try and make it to this one for sure. hopefully i wont go to the wrong place this time for the meet-n-greet, hehe. i doubt that id miss a pit goin. anywhoo, yall keep updating when and where to meet at texas stadium.

[J-town Hustler]

How will the everyone meet without knowing where to go?

[Ranger Mom]

I'm sure they will give as more details as the week goes one. In any case, I have Sinton66's cellphone #, so I will call when I get there and he can tell me exactly where I need to be! :p

[sinton66]

PPHSfan is going to try to get a 3ADownlow flag made by a friend of his. If he does, it will be flying. If he can't, we'll try to get a big sign up on top of a pickup or something. Not to worry, we'll figure something out.

[Gobbla2001]

Heck, if a 12-pack of Shiner-Bock is involved I'll run around the parking lot waving the Burnet flag...

[lv2937]

Gobbla2001:
Heck, if a 12-pack of Shiner-Bock is involved I'll run around the parking lot waving the Burnet flag...Your on Gobbla 2001. I,ll bring the beer. Would love to see you running around carrying a Burnet flag. Would make a great picture for our local paper. You would have to drink the beer by youself. Gave that up afew years ago.TO ALL THE BURNET POSTER ON HERE, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO TAILGATE SATURDAY, WE SHOULD GET TOGEATHER LIKE THURSDAY NIGHT AND DISCUSS IT. THINK IT WOULD BE NEAT TO MEET ALL THE OTHER POSTERS ON THIS SITE.MEET ALOT OF THE SINTON POSTERS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. WAS AFRAID TO GO OVER THERE AND MEET THE AT FIRST BECAUSE I WAS WITH MY BUDDY PAINTBALL. THOUGHT THE MIGHT TAR AND FEATHER US .

[MASH4077]

I'll be there if someone is handing out a Shiner!

[3afan2K3]

I think we should have vegatables and healthy juice

[sinton66]

Can I throw them at ....err...to you? :D

(Dang, I gotta remember to smile)

Guys, I would love to finally meet some of you. Maybe some one coult make a 3A Down Low sigh to put at the meeting place so it will be easy to identify.

[PPHSfan]

OK, I am working on the flag. Also, I should be available for autographs, however, my agent tells me that it will be necessary for me to charge for photographs. :p

[therealbulldogs]

I'm hoping to make the drive up there from Bandera. I have some family up there and this will be my last chance to see a Texas high school football game for a few years!!! High school football in Virginia has absolutely nothing on TEXAS.

[sinton66]

What we really need help with is a pit on wheels. As I stated, I have one but would be taking a big chance dragging it all the way to Dallas and back. I don't have a license plate on it, and will not be able to go get one this week. I really don't need any tickets. Surely somebody up in the area has a pit we can use.

[BigRedfan]

TO ALL FELLOW DOWNLOWERS:
My husband and I are going to make a weekend of it this coming weekend.
Friday night: Atlanta verus Vernon
and the triple header on Saturday.
I think my husband knows that he is in the dog house for not taking me to the 3 Gilmer games right here in our own backyard.
We will join yal just tell me what you want us to bring.
I look forward to meeting all of you. :D :D :p :cool: :)

ya know, id really love to be there but im stuck goin to Las Vegas for a bachelor party on saturday... :D :D :D

[sinton66]

Well, if you have to have an excuse ......

[Ranger Mom]

ttt for anyone who just logged on!

[kaorder1999]

im all about it...i have to be in the stadium for the first two games though...how early are we talking about

[sinton66]

Well, that I don't know for sure yet. Keep in mind, I gotta drive up from Houston almost. I probably won't watch the first two games, so would be available to man the tailgater. Guess we'd prolly shut down just before the 3A game.

[kaorder1999]

i can come out in between the first and second game and between the second and third game

[sinton66]

That would be cool. What are they about thirty minutes apart?

[kaorder1999]

supposed to be 45 mins apart

[kaorder1999]

at least they were last week...if a game ends early they begin the game in 45 mins...game 3 started 15 mins early yesterday

[kaorder1999]

1

[sinton66]

If I can get there early enough, I'd like to start an hour or so before the first game. What time does the first game start?

[sinton66]

Ok, I'll try to get out of here early.

[kaorder1999]

how long of a drive is that for you?

[sinton66]

Around 3 hours I think.

[kaorder1999]

Ranger Mom:
Dang!! That's gonna be a long party!! I may just hang out there and then go to the Burnet/Gville game! I guess I need to pack some lawn chairs - doncha think??lawn chairs and umbrellas...

[sinton66]

If I had time to do that, I'd have time to go get a license plate for mine. wink

[Ranger Mom]

I have feelers out in the Dallas area 66. My mom and dad were gonna ask around and see if any of their friends may have one or know of someone who might!

[Burnet Dawg06]

You guys should make a list of people coming and what they are bringing. For example:

Ranger Mom- bbq pit??
Sinton66- ???
etc...etc...

Just a suggestion though.

[Ranger Mom]

If I can find a pit, I will bring it. But you cannot know how bad the thought of dragging a pit through traffic scares me. Any of you that have been here for a while know how my "trips" turn out.

[CentralTxFan]

But Rangermom, we all NEED your stories! I mean, what would a state game be without a good rangermom drive home story? I laughed AND cried last year when I read yours. Not that I would want you to top last years but man, it was good!

[CentralTxFan]

Sinton66, I have a thought...check your PM.

[sinton66]

Thanks for the idea, CentralTxFan. We now have a plan. If all else fails, I will load my pit onto my boss's small utility trailer(which has a license plate) and haul it up there.

Any of you that have been here for a while know how my "trips" turn out.OMG, Ranger Mom, as I am new here, I didn't know about your "trip with the flashlights for tail lights" until I read the top 10 posts. I sure felt for you, but still had to laugh. You had better leave the pit dragging to someone else. :D :D

[sinton66]

RangerMom, don't worry about the pit, I'll get mine up there somehow. If I have to take off and go get a license plate, so be it. I'm going to bring some Chappel Hill or Burton sausage and flour tortillas for sausage wraps.

[3afan]

keep in mind the 3A game is the 3rd - most likely the lot will be very full by time folks just wanting to come for the 3rd game arrive, especially since most will want to get into the stadium early to get seats

[sinton66]

3afan, where do you think would be the best place for us to set up so that we'd be easy to spot for folks coming in?

[vet93]

Man...I am jealous...I have got a conference in Tampa this weekend. You guys are planning so much fun that I really wish I could be there. I wish I could send some Mikulik Suasage from Wall (a german community near San Angelo). It is fresh (not packaged), smoked and it is so good that it would make you slap your grandmother eek! You guys have fun for me!!

[WinnRRfan]

I'll be there for at least the 2nd and third games

[sinton66]

Okay, pit problem is solved. My wife is picking up the plate and will FED-X it to me. Somebody needs to volunteer some more food to cook. I'm bringing some sausage and tortillas. Prolly could use some beans, fajitas, and maybe hamburger patties and buns. Got a volunteer for potato salad.

I can not make it to the games up in Dallas, but I'll be there in spirit. I'm going to SA (much closer) to cheer on the Tarpons. If someone brings hamburger patties and all the trimmings and if you ask real nice, I'm sure Sinton66 could make you one of Sinton's famous Tortilla Burgers!!! http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0903/ernaehrung/food-smiley-002.gif wink

Everyone that is able to make the trip, please have a safe trip, enjoy the food & may you meet some wonderful people!! Please refrain from any food fights! eek! :D

[3afan2K3]

What time is it gonna be at?? You can't dp it to late beacause it gets dark early and will be getting colder. And what is the status on the Downlow Flag?

[sinton66]

Current plan is for me to arrive and begin setting up around 11:00 am. Most of the sausage is precooked, and will need to only warm up. So, some food should be ready by 12:00. PPHSfan is handling the flag.

I would suggest that any of you that plan to come, please try to provide your own drinks. There will be some, but not enough for everybody.

This tailgate party is open to any active member of 3A Downlow. Both of our main moderators are going to try to attend, although Matthew328 may have to work. Hopefully this will turn out to be an excellent chance to meet a bunch of 3ADL luminaries.

[3afan2K3]

[weatherag07]

How long is it going to end? I know stuff needs to be put up before the game, so just wondering!

[sinton66]

We will probably start shutting down 20 or 30 minutes before game time to allow for any clean-up. (Or immediately after we run out of food, if that happens).

who plans to attend all three games?

[sinton66]

It probably wouldn't hurt if someone could bring some cookies or somethng like that. I will have about four bags of potato chips with some of my favorite dip(raspberry chipotle ranch). Basic rule of thumb, if you're coming, bring something. We'll just do a pot luck deal. Here's what I plan on bringing.

Pit
Mesquite Wood
20 links of sausage
Couple multi packs of flour tortillas
4 bags potato chips
Dip
Salsa
Jalapenos
Bottle of super BBQ sauce
Propane single cook stand
Garbage can and bags
Cooking utensils

The rest of you can bring whatever you want, sandwich makings, finger foods, snacks, whatever.
This can't be coordinated really well, because we have no idea how many will show. Just bring stuff that will almost feed the folks you bring.

<small>[ December 10, 2003, 05:52 AM: Message edited by: sinton66 ]</small>

[3afan2K3]

What side is this gonna happen on???

[sinton66]

I'm planning on trying to grab a spot off the southwest corner of the stadium. So, that would be to the left of the south (Dallas side)entry gate.

[3afan2K3]

Hows the flag coming??

[sinton66]

Don't know, haven't heard from PPHSfan.

[cm4444]

Hey this is to all the Burnet fans...I was told that tomorrow night ..Thursday...at 7pm the Burnet Jasper game will be televised on channel 15 Northland cable for those who didnt make the game or would like to see it again...The state game will also be played next Monday..

Yeah, I posted further up everyone should plan to provide their own drinks. There will be some there, but probably not enough for everybody. I will have a pot of coffee going, I'm sure.

I'll post a new thread this evening with whatever final details I have by then.

PPHSFan whats the status on the flag??? If there isnt gonna be one then someone needs to make a sign or something that will let us know if were at the right place. Sinton66 what kind of car will you be bringing down?? We need to know what to look for.

[sinton66]

Everybody please check the thread titled "3A Downlow Tailgater final details". Any questions will be answered on that one. Thanks
