Iowa game time!

I'll be taking down a liter of wild turkey and will be ready to start swinging at any man woman or child wearing black and gold.
 
I will agree with you but I carried many cases of beer around TG's during any game Iowa included with no problems. You just can't act like a dumb *** and you will be fine.

Eh, I wouldn't be so sure. I'm not sure how the tailgating cops were way back in your day, but they can be pretty thorough in the student lot nowadays. I never drank down there before I was 21 due to horror MIP stories, but since I have been drinking down there I've been ID'd numerous times. (& believe it or not for most of them I was just standing in a small group drinking A ​beer...)

This. I never drank at the student lots when I wasn't 21 because I know several people who got MIPs while tailgating. When I turned 21, I literally cracked open my first beer in the student lots for the Tulsa game and I got IDed a minute later. If you arent 21 don't risk it, it's not worth it. And don't think you'll fool the cops using a koozie.

I'll agree with this.

Hell, i know a guy who got an MIP when he was under 21 and he wasnt even drinking in the lots. He was just handing a beer to someone of age, the cop saw the whole exchange, yet still gave the guy an MIP.

MIP horror stories?

If you think getting an MIP counts as "horror", you need some perspective, son.

When I saw this kick time, my liver immediately started crying. I'm proud to announce that it has regrouped, and has entered a Rocky III-esque training regimen, complete with montage. Tonight's Blackhawk game is the first night in what should be a rigorous program to get it into top fighting shape (and its certainly getting work). Eye of the Tiger.
 
I got an MIP tailgating my freshman year. I abstained the rest of that year (not like I was missing much, it was 2003).

My sophomore year we went out tailgating one time after spending most of the season drinking in the dorms or apartments before games, and were given drinks mixed into pop cans. We were hooked. Junior year, I was only 20, and made it through the whole year incident free by drinking Screwdrivers that I would mix in a small Tropicana bottle and shotgunning beers in the kybos. Where there is a will, there is a way.

I think a Rocky IV training regime would get you more ready.
 
In 2011 when my buddy and I were walking back to our apartment from a party, we acknowledged every person we crossed paths with by saying "**** the hawks." I then proceeded to try to pass out on the couch, got the spins, went outside to walk around, puke a few times, and get back into the building only to realized I had locked myself out of the apartment altogether. I pounded on the door, but it was useless. I laid down on the floor in the hallway and passed out. Woke up at like 6 when bandies were leaving to do morning practice. Still drunk and not knowing what time it was exactly, I went to bed before the game and somehow woke up in time to get to JTS by kickoff.

That won't happen this year, because I'll be drinking all day! Thanks JP!

I agree with Pollard, however, I probably wouldn't if I were a member of the Ames Police Dept or ISU Campus Security. That will be a horrible day for them.

I also hope the campus doesn't get damaged and vandalized too much either. It will, it's just a matter of how much.



After the last few nights, I just scrolled through this thread waiting to see what negative spin clonedude would put on it. Now, expect another dozen posts explaining (repeating) what he meant as yet another thread turns into a troll-like conversation with him. Don't do it, clonedude, don't do it. Just post about how great the 5pm start will be.

It couldn't have been that hard to get into JTS by kickoff in 2010. I bet you were the only people there.
 
5pm is a fantastic time. I missed the start of the last two home games against Iowa because my daughter had to compete in a HS event. Last time, a friend who was employed on the campus of the University of Virginia brought me to the game at the end of the first quarter. She has been to plenty of big time athletic events, but as we drove up, she asked me when the game was going to start. I said, oh, about 30 minutes ago. She had never seen anything like our tailgating, even after the game had started.

I love the idea of having an all-day, full metal tailgate. We are planning to have food and drink for 200!

The 2010 game was in Iowa City brah, and it probably would of been best if you just stayed passed out for that one.
 
2003? 2-10 2003? All the more reason to drink. I think that's the year we lost every conference game by at least 4 TDs?

Ill never forget leaving the Colorado game right before halftime in 2003 and ISU only having 1, yes 1, total yard.
