Guys, Just wanted to say I had a blast at the tailgate and at the game. I got to the tailgate early, around 3, and met up with Mush and Tweeder. A short time later Alex came with Steve (who was f*cking delicious). It was good to hangout with you fine folks and put a face to the names.

I told rino the following story and he suggested I post it, so here ya go.

So after the game and a case of beer later I exited out of the wrong side of the stadium. I didn't know where the hell I was and was trying to get back to 3rd and Poplar. I went through some sort of security checkpoint (a Sheriffs Deputy waved me through. I found myself standing around a bunch of TV trailers, which were hugging the stadium pretty tight. I was standing outside the MNF trailer and took a pic (all pics were taken with my cell, sorry bout the quality).

So after thinking pretty hard about it and if it would be worth me getting locked up over, I opened the door to the trailer and walked in. There were a few guys in there working. They had all parts of the game on screens. Nobody said one word to me. So I asked one dude what exactly they do in there. He said they were in charge of the graphics overlay that we see on tv during the broadcast. He tried to tell me how they did the first down yellow line but I really wasn't paying much attention. So, I took some pictures.

So after that, I walked out and started wondering around. I made my way to some tunnel and just followed some ESPN guys down it. When I came out the other end I about sh*t myself. I was standing on the field. The grass smelled awesome, and I'm just standing there in the endzone. People were all over place, but nobody paid much attention to me.

So I walked over to the goalpost and licked it. Just felt like it was the right thing to do. I couldn't believe some Joe Blow like me managed to wonder onto the freaking field.

So I made my way down the Panthers sideline and walked out to the 50. I just stood there, taking it all in.

Near the oppisite corner of the endzone, ESPN was doing a broadcast. I saw Emmit Smith's huge head and decided to walk that way. BIG MISTAKE.

When I got about 30 feet from them, I encountered these guys.

The PD guys just looked at me and then walked away. But some BOA security dude walked up to me and asked if I was working. I said no. He said what do you mean no. I told him I'm just hanging out. He was like youre just hanging out? I was like yeah, I got lost. He then asked if I was the asshole that jumped the fence. I told him no but I don't think he believed me.

He called the cops over and they started talking about locking me up for trespassing. One PD guy was like I hope you like bologna sandwiches. I was like are you really gonna lock me up? He said yeah. I told him it was worth it and I would never had been able to come down here. So we starting walking off the field and back into a different tunnel. When we got outside they just told me not to come back. SWEET.

Looking back on it, good thing I had a case of beer in me or otherwise there is no way that would have happened. I seriously weighed the chances of me going to jail and if I thought it would be worth it. It was. I know, I'm a bleeping idiot. But it was AWESOME!

So thanks huddle tailgate. You gave me memories that I will never forget

Edit: CatofWar thinks Steve was delish.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

j/k. Glad you had a good time at the tailgate and the game.

Funniest part:

Game tickets - $50

Watching Scrum walk drunken Kurb into the stadium - priceless.

      Bust alert - Eight NFL players running out of time to prove themselves entering 2026 season

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
