Oktoberfest Tailgate 2012: Prost!

Good win for the Boilers against Marshall in the first of three straight home games.  Michigan rolls in for the sandwich game of our three game homestand and it couldn’t be more important for the Boilermakers to score a victory to open Big Ten play.

I know I’m excited to see what the Boiler D can do against Denard “Antwaan Randle-El” Robinson after seeing them struggle a bit with the athletic Marshall QB.  While Denard is a great athlete I have seen nothing over the last four years to indicate that he’s a great QB and I hope to see our Boiler D exploit that this coming Saturday.   A win this Saturday would be a great start to the Big Ten season, I know I can’t wait to cheer on the Boilermakers so bring your "outdoor voices!!"

We will be celebrating our annual Oktoberfest this weekend complete with German beer, Bratwurst, deep fried Kraut Balls, and of course men in leather pants! I’m excited to see everyone, including special guest in Chris Coons who will be joining us to tailgate on Saturday before heading to a wedding in Indy!  (Dude, it's not too late to just get a ticket for the game.  You know my policy on fall weddings, I would encourage you to adopt it.)

We will plan on meeting in the W lot on Saturday morning, though it is hard telling where in the lot. We have had significant issues thus far with the parking situation and I don’t expect it to be much better for the rest of the year. This last week we were at the back of the lot and I expect the same for this weekend.

We have the large flagpole that extends to 20 feet and an ambulance so hopefully you will be able to locate us easily. We will be sporting our custom flag this year which sports our “Old School Boilermakers” motif similar to our cups.
