• ASU vs. UofA: November 25, 2006

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

This is an away game, but we always get together and do a tailgate party at someone's house.

This game is actually on a Saturday this year, normally it is on the Friday after Thanksgiving, so plan accordingly.

So you don't want to travel to Tuscon and tailgate there??

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

We might, we have in the past.  It typically gets us in trouble, but hey, that's half the fun... 

[ddog27]

It is funny how angry the U of A fans are. I don't think that we have ever treated their fans as bad as we have been treated in their crappy stadium! I mean they were throwing stuff at us at one point!! 

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

That's very true, we have noticed that throughout the years.  Every year when the game is at our Stadium we host a big tailgate and have about half the people there UofA fans.  We give the UofA people passing a little ribbing, but it is always in good fun.

However, I don't think there has been a single time that we have gone to Tucson where we didn't get into it with them.  The atmosphere is completely different.  Not that all UofA fans are like that as I know a lot who are very gracious hosts, but still, it is not as friendly an environment as it is when we play at Sun Devil Stadium.

It's a good thing that the football team will never have a good enough year to make it the toilet bowl. If they made it a bowl game. I think the whole town would burn down by the hands of the rioting mob.

Hey, who else is planning on going up to Da Bears the Saturday after Thanksgiving to watch this game and have some great BBQ???

Bear, do you have a head count yet??

[bearbonez]

 oh, I'm supposed to count heads? Like mounted on a wall? Nah. Been getting word around to some people. The way I cook, I don't worry bout it so much. Unless the casino empties out to run over for bbq, There will be plenty of food. Top of my head guess...probably bout same as last time, 40ish

[bearbonez]

 And what Mike said, who is coming up?? Speaketh!!

[bearbonez]

 So only Mike is coming up next weekend?

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Bear, I most likely will be bringing up my son, my buddy Pete and his son.  It's not in stone yet, but we are trying to work out the logistics.

Da wife has to work, so she won't be joining us... 

But we will still have a blast..
