While driving to the tailgate at Nebraska we stopped in Atlantic because one guy had to pee. Instead of going inside we pulled around back and the guy just went next to the van. He had left the side door open and when he was finishing we pulled a little Tommy Boy and started to drive away.
He quickly zipped up and started to run towards the open door, when he jumped to get in, we slammed on the breaks and he went flying into the door. It was a great way to get the day started.

Sorry my tailgating story doesn't involve heavy drinking, defacating or urine. My highlight was after LE was fired we were at a football tailgate and I saw BVD walking down the middle of the parking lot. I grabbed a Nattie Light and ran over and shook his hand and offered him a Nattie while we talk about Larry. He pulled his hand back quickly, put his head down and kept walking fast. There was a mob of people and some guy yells, "That's the ******* who fired Larry!" Then everyone started chanting "Larry,Larry, Larry...!!!" Good Times!!!

That's AWESOME! Bruce didn't show his face much after firing Larry because he would get booed or harrased by the fan base that hated him with a passion after all the questionable things he did. Coming in and getting rid of baseball pretty much doomed him from the start.

I do believe Gene Smith didn't leave Bruce much choice in getting rid of baseball, it was all but a done deal when Bruce walked in the door. And maybe one of the reasons he left Iowa State.

We had a great tailgate two years ago. We were in the lot just south of the stadium because my grandmother is handicapped. This tailgate was rocking. We had brats with THE CHEESE ON THE INSIDE! That was nuts. Also had five different kinds of chips and three dips. My grandma made Oreo Balls and I must have ate at least 10 of them. Dad let me have a sip of his beer (yuck), but I preferred my Mountain Dew. This must have been really special because they don't like me drinking sugar and caffiene that much.
The highlight of the day was when these K-State fans were playing football. The ball rolled over by our car and I gently kicked it under the car. These punks were looking for their ball but couldn't find it. After they went into the game, I crawled under the car and took the ball! I still have it at home! It's a Wilson!
I'll always remember that tailgate!

When we went to K-State 2 years ago there were some folks there dressed up for halloween - Captain Crunch, Too-Can Sam and a guy in a bear outfit (I should know what he was supposed to be but I can't think of it...) They saw Superfan and I in our usual game day get ups and wanted a picture... still one of my favorite pictures.
This last year when K-State came here we offered some fans that were huddling in their SUV (because it was too cold for their candy *****) some purple and gold eggs... they huddled even closer together inside the SUV
Painting my car during the tailgate for the first few games this last year was also a good time... kinda funny seeing the reactions on peoples faces as they walk by you spray painting a car (while grilling dogs/brats/burgers behind it) | Oh we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State, and may her colors ever fly!

We used to drive around campus the friday afternoons before games with our tailgate van, drinking beer. We would tape a flag pole w/an ISU flag on it to the back, and we would periodically honk our horn, which plays the fight song, and people would always get revved up, and love it. The day before the UNLV in '06, we were sitting at the 3-way stop at the bottom of Gerdin, right in between classes, so there were people everywhere. We honked the horn, and as soon as it goes off, some kid bombing down the hill on his bike, whips his head around, hits the curb full speed and launches off his bike headfirst. Obviously we weren't trying to acheive this result, but it would have made a hell of a youtube video. Apologies to the guy riding that bike if you read this thread.

Is your horn one of those polytonic horns that plays the fight song really loud? I have one of those, and I love it! Pissed of quite a few people with it... (yeeeeeeah... definitly driven by Friley early in the morning on game day and played that...)
In Toledo we stopped off at the bookstore for souviners (SF and I pick up a shot glass at ever school, he picks up some other stuff). Some people in a dorm next door were harassing us and saying they were going to key SF's car, etc. When we get out of the store and get in the car I hit the horn...
One guy starts yelling at us, the other guy picks up something - we couldn't tell what it was but it kinda looked like a gun to us... Turns out it was a guitar hero guitar and the guy was "Jamming out" to the fight song. It was pretty entertaining | Oh we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State, and may her colors ever fly!

Not really tailgating but humerous
On the way home from the Big 8 Tourney, "Forever Champs" my uncle had an eight foot flag pole out the window of his van with the Cyclone Flag flying High. When a strong gust took the flag pole from him along with the window of his van. The flag pole went tumbling down the street behind him and he had to drive from KC to Denver without a window in mid march. It was quite the site.
