@Trevmiesterj: I try to post something similar to every visiting opponent's boards. The seed for the thought started in 2006 when we went to the Rose Bowl to play UCLA. We had a Bruin fan, bruinpatti, that came to uf.n and did something similar to my visit here. She made sure we were taken care of at the golf course tailgate. I remember thinking that this is how big time tailgating and hospitality happens. I didn't do much past that until we joined the PAC-12. At that point I remembered bruinpatti and figured that if Utah is going to be PAC-12 caliber, we as fans need to be like bruinpatti and welcome or even host our opponents. As I mentioned before, there is always a beer and food available at the Shasta. Don't be offended if we ask you for ID. A few tailgates have been found to provide alcohol to minors and the cops are cracking down, including being undercover in visiting team gear.
@CowboyIndian: You are correct. The trailer is a Shasta make. Its trademark was the aluminum wings. You are also correct that it is a 1961. In fact the plate on it reads SIXT1 as the college plates only have 5 characters.Â
@Crazed: I'm not sure who Ted Miller is but I do know that we were fortunate enough to sit near Ted Allen from Food Network's Chopped and his partner. Maybe the nicest TV person ever. Mentioned to the manager that Guy Fieri recommended it, never looked bothered by a picture or autograph request even though he was eating. Could you enlighten me on Ted Miller?
@Terry: Sorry to hear the band isn't coming. Their routine in Provo a few years back had me hoping they might make this roadie. Your band sets a standard for irreverence that will never be equaled. And still bothers BYU fans to this day. Which makes we Utah fans chuckle.
Thanks to everyone that has interacted. This and ASU's cactusranch.com have been the most interactive of any PAC-12 board I've found so far.
Couple of additions. To 82 Card, do remember that you are about 4,500 feet in the valley and the stadium is just under 4,700. Hydrate, especially before you drink any alcohol. I've had altitude sickness in Vail, CO. It is not fun. To Buddah, I was looking forward to the band having their way. Maybe next year in Palo Alto.
