Transition...
So, I've been blogging a lot more about tailgating on the Football blog lately, so I'm "retiring" this blog - my ultimate plan is to consolidate -
So go check out http://2thelionfootball.blogspot.com/ for all your Penn State football and tailgating needs (and/or wants)!

I love the nightlife...
Game times have been announced for three key home football games.
PENN STATE v notre dame - September 8th @ 6:00pm
PENN STATE v wisconsin - October 13th @ 3:30pm
PENN STATE v tosu - October 27th @ 8:00pm
The nd & tosu games are going to be crazy - absolutely crazy.
All three games are "bigguns" and should be colossal tailgates - Wisconsin is Homecoming and a Diesel Tailgate; tosu is a Diesel Tailgate; and, well, and notre dame is notre dame.
Outdoor dance floors for everyone!

Tentative Tailgating Themes
Strictly ignoring the news out of Centre County... LA LA LA LA LA LA LA - I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
Let's talk tailgating.
Very enthused by the awesomeness of the Blue White Tailgate - we did some brainstorming on the trip home regarding the fall festivities.
There are 8 tailgates this year (DON'T FORGET TEMPLE). Seven home and one away.
September 1st - Florida International - We're thinking - Seafood. Last time we tried this there was a freakin' hurricane - so there's no telling what mother nature will throw at us this year.
September 8th - notre dame - still under consideraton
September 15th - Buffalo - leaning toward a retro theme. Martinis for everyone.
October 6th - Iowa - Oktoberfest, of course. The last weekend of the festival - we'll do it up right with brats, sauerkraut und beer.
October 13th - Wisconsin - Homecoming - the preliminary choice is Fiesta - with the legendary nacho bar.
October 27th - Ohio State - Still thinking
November 3rd - Purdue - French - you read that right - FRENCH! oooh la la. With onion soup, beef burgundy, and other yummalicious items.
November 10th - Temple - at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA - What else? Italian, prego.

More Blue White Tailgate Pictures
I took a lot of pictures at the game, understandably (megalomaniac), most of them were of the cake. We had a whole bunch of other great food! There were the standby burgers, brisket, chili and deep fried goodies (from cheese wontons to whole turkey) - along with a great variety of snacks and desserts. Some favorites of the day were: marinated cheese (2 kinds!); homemade biscotti ("they're like cookies...but harder"); tarts (lemon, blackberry and me!); grilledmarinated vegetables; insalata caprese bites; shrimps on the barbie; navy blue jello shots. Bestest "keeper" original recipe of the event? Chocolate covered pretzel tart (chocolate & nutella pie with pretzel crust and topped with pirouline cookies - yes, it was that good). The big surprise of the day?? Duck's beercan chickens - you kidder you! Favorite quote of the day? "I thought artichokes were vegetables." Items lost to the abyss of
the MaxCooler? Pizza Steak bread; pepperoni pinwheels (treason!); chicken bites; kielbasa (say it ain't so!!!!!). More Blue White pix and commentary at FOOTBALL.

mmm, cake
I had already planned to make the stadium cake for the Blue White game - but after the events of April 16th, I altered my design plan, a bit. I had read in the Daily Collegian that some kids were organizing a color block "VT" in support of Virginia Tech, and that they needed 800 volunteers - apparently the PSU administration also heard about the effort, because they (PSU) donated the 800 t-shirts on a "first come" basis. The outpouring of
support and solidarity was amazing and reassuring. So, I wanted to make sure that "our" stadium was as spirited as the real one... a few pictures...

Blue White 2007
Getting ready for the Blue White game - things are crazy with the team right now - but we're soldiering on with our preparations.
The game is Saturday, April 21st, at 2pm. Parking lots open at 8am - and we'll be there when they do. We'll be parking in the lots outside the West stands.

The "theme" is, as always "Practice" - but we're adding an Italian flair this year (in honor of coach Paterno).
Currently, the forecast has no rain...
Hope to see you there!
