Best tailgating Stories

Back when there were very few porta-potties around we developed Cy's Urine Containment System. It was a large bottle with a tube and a funnel duct taped at the end. You simply stood behind the door of the vehicle and releived yourself without the 1/2 hour wait.

While utilizing the UCS my extremely intoxicated buddy fell over and spilled the contents all over himself. He didn't make it into the game that day.

Ahhh to be young again...

Oh geez, too many stories to pick any one out. Probably more memorable ones from last year was a night before tailgating at the first game of the season. A buddy and me were the only 2 because our friends wussed out on us and we somehow finished off an entire bottle of Jack Daniels that night. Wasn't our plan to start with but somehow ended up that way. Needless to say it wasn't till about 1-2pm till I got the nerve to get back on the wagon and have a beer at the tailgate. If someone had come by the vet med parking lot around 4am they probably would have got a good laugh out of us.

Jack Daniels + camelbacks + wandering tailgate of 10 people = two arrests and one divorce

A note: I've never been arrested or divorced but now some of my friends have.

It was great and one of the more memorail things I remember seeing.

I would like to Credit my roommate for throwing the first beer!

All my worst stories start or end with "I didn't plan to finish that off but it happened"

1) 2002 ISU / NU Game. Week after Nebraska gets destroyed at State College, my buddy Mike and I are walking in to the game through the big-wig donor lots (the ones with the names) immediately north of the stadium. A Husker fan approaches us and starts berating us how much we suck, how bad we are going to lose. My buddy tosses a half-full beer at the guy and says "Go Penn State, buddy." ISU 36 - NU 14

2) When I was a Hawkeye fan in 1988 my dad and I were visting Madison when he told me about problems that they were having with some of the Iowa fans at the tailgates before games when visiting Wisconsin that had led to Bucky the Badger not showing up the pre-game pep rally. Apparently in the previous Iowa visit a severely intoxicated Hawkeye fan performed a flying scissors on Bucky as he made his appearance at the pre-game pep-rally and preceeded to decapitate the mascot following the take down and ran off with his head.

My tailgate stories are all kept inside the Red Full Size Chevy Van with Blue Flames and yellow rims.

Most aren't clean enough to tell here, but I'll see what I can do on one.

We were at Oklahoma State four years ago I believe, my memory is a little hazy. We drank the whole way down Friday night and the seven hour drive took us ten because of the numerous potty breaks. When we got down there we started asking what time the tailgate lots opened, when people were heading out there. A common response was "oh we tailgate hard, we will be out there an hour or so before the game starts", we proceed to laugh at them.

Once we got out there we realized why no one came out early, no porta johns. Four 7 guys usually not a problem, just prop a door open. However, my friend had to go number 2. Luckily we kept a roll of TP in our van for just such emergency, he threw the side doors of the van open and leaned up against the Escalade parked next to us and dropped once of the worst smelling craps I have ever smelled.

Our friend told him he couldn't leave it there they would know it was us and get upset that he pooed next to their truck. He agreed and went to pick his poo up with a paper plate we had laying around. The smell of his own poo made him sick and he vomitted next to it.

Still not being able to let the crap lay our friend who recommended moving it in the first place finished moving it by throwing it at a house.

This is the tamest story of the trip but it made me laugh.

Wow that would have been funny to see!!

Another good one is we were down for the Indepence bowl the first time and there was one of those big yellow slides like at the state fair. A bunch of guys got some shopping carts and started riding those down the slide until the cops came over and made them stop.

Along the lines of urine stories. My friend had to take a leak and didn't want to wait in the port-a-pot lines in the grass lot. So he did what most of us do and went behind them to the creek that runs behind them. He came walking back to the tailgate covered in mud. While peeing he slipped and slid all the way down the pee mud to the bottom and had trouble climbing back up.

Hey, I know those guys! They had two RVs and finished a couple of bottles of jaeger right before that. They were jumping back and forth from one RV roof to the other. You'd have to be crazy or drunk to take a grocery cart down one of those slides and they were both!

A couple of husker fan stories. In 96, a couple of guys I knew were walking out of the stadium in front of some husker fans. The probably drunk husker fan proceeds to start talking about how Troy Davis sucks and Troy Davis ain't sh#t. Of course, the Clone fan I know was hearing this and slowly boiling. At some point he had enough and turn around and beat the living hell out of this husker fan and his buddy. Left them lying in the lot.

Another buddy of mine was trashed watching ISU/Nebraska in 2004. He was running his mouth on the way out of the stadium and a husker fan behind him was running it back. The husker fan went to grab my buddy and he flipped and punched the husker right in the nose, snapping his glasses. This was right on the ramp heading down to the north gates. Of course the cops were right on top of them. Funny thing is, they escort them to the gate and just let them go right next to each other. Luckily, both sides decided to let it go rather than start fighting again right outside the gate.

That is about as good of PG rated story as you will find.

That is my biggest nightmare with the creek pee! Luckily, we're moving to the RV lot this year, so the temptation is gone.
