Canes Pundit has a lengthy and viciously funny recap of his trip to Ohio State for the Miami game last weekend. Excerpts:
We head to the Enterprise counter to pick up our rental car. The dude behind the counter takes one look at our shirts and says, “You guys ready to lose today?” Hey funny man, just get us our car. Then, he gets on the phone with the lot in the back and loudly says, “Hey Crissy, do you have any pink Beetles back there for these guys?” A few Buckeye fans in line snicker and laugh. I’m like, “Listen dude, why don’t you see if Crissy can also round up a career path advisor back there so you’re not the f’n front desk jockey at the Enterprise Rent-A-Car in Dayton, Ohio.”
It really doesn’t matter what school it is. The people with the worst jobs talk the most crap. Wal Mart cashiers, waiters, mechanics, etc.
One thing I will say is that the campus (like its inhabitants) is f’n HUGE (and nice too…see I’ll toss in a compliment every once in a while). So we park in a lot and then head to the 7-11 for a beer run. As we’re walking, we’re amazed at the set ups. Those Buckeye fans don’t F around when it comes to tailgating. They start early, and do it up like it’s the most exciting weekend of the year (cuz it, of course, is). One group had the typical flat screens with HD hooked up but even brought in two f’n LaZBoy recliners.

As is the tradition now, college football opens on the Thursday before Labor Day Weekend. It started as a television showcase for a few teams several years back and has evolved into a bit of an unexplained phenomenon. By my count, 13 games were played last night despite not getting national television coverage. Somehow, Middle Tennessee State once again convinced a major team (Minnesota) to travel to Murfreesboro, but they couldn’t even get the stadium more than about half full. Either way, some fans still made it out to the array of college games and tailgated on a school night and we salute them.
I actually need to return this. I was trying to get an extra large chair.
For the first game in the school's history, Georgia State had a very impressive turnout of tailgaters
If Dr. Peter Venkman went to Iowa State, this would be his tailgating car.
I admire the hustle by these Ohio State fans, but setting up a TV for a Thursday game seems like overkill. Just talk about football. There's no real need to catch the 6pm Sportscenter

HandSewnByNana is using etsy.com to sell quality cornhole bags with your college’s logo stitched directly on the bag. Each bag is made with heavy duty duck canvas, measures 6×6, is double stitched, filled with clean and treated whole corn, and meets all regulations for tournament play.

Whether you spotted them on John Daly, the Norwegian Curling team, around campus on gameday, or at the links…. you’ve probably seen Loudmouth Pants before. Thanks to South Bend Seven for helping us put a brand name with these ridiculous pants. I’ve noticed a trend towards the more outrageous in tailgating pants lately and these certainly fit the bill. In addition to the pants, Loudmouth also has coats for the guys and skirts and short shorts for the ladies. The color combinations cover the tailgating needs for many major programs like Florida, Texas, Ohio State, LSU, and North Carolina. And for the Bama fans out there they have houndstooth ties, coats, pants, shorts, skirts, and even divot tools. To see if they have your school’s colors check out the site.
